Ladies: do you prefer alpha men or beta men

Isnt anybody just a Dude anymore.

is dude alpha or beta / or just a Dude?

 

Didn't dude originally used to be a term by people living in the countryside or more rural areas for the more fancy looking city boy?

 

i do not know dude..

 

No worries dude. It appears the city boys have succesfully appropriated the term anyway

 

I prefer dudes

 

I assume that you also prefer PAL and call NTSC "never twice (the) same color" LOL

 

From my armchair sociologist perspective, I think the dichotomy has been diminished somewhat, primarily due to technology but perhaps it's a function of such a large population as well...and money being a really powerful conditioning agent.

 

Their are three categories
Alpha.
Beta.
Guys who want to be alpha, but are just full of self opinionated BS.

 

The aura will tell.

 

Dutch historian dudes right

 

Whatever gave women the right to decide what constitutes manliness? Isn't there some double standard applied to modern feminism? Where any and all women are considered "true women." But a so-called "real man" has to have a beard and big muscles and like sports and work on cars and perhaps be able to build a house or a canoe.

And in most cases those guys are total jerks. Or, at least, they lack principles. I've seen "manly men" act like the biggest babies as well. I don't really fit in with the alphas or the betas, but one thing you'll never catch me doing is whining like I see other guys whine, alphas and betas alike. If something goes wrong for them they throw a complete fit.

 

We men were so tolerant to grant them this right It may have been a mistake

 

I've always viewed alpha men as being men who are confident in who they are, even if they don't match the culture's stereo type of masculinity. They are confident in who they are, treat women with respect, and take initiative for the quality of their lives. A lot of men who label themselves as ''alpha,'' are insecure and believe that women are the enemy, that's not alpha, that's misogyny.

 

Hm, it seems to me the stereotypical cultural perception of masculinity comes closer to the exact meaning of what's an alpha male. Handling their confidence in a certain way is certainly associated with it, but being confident on itself transients alpha male characteristics.

These characteristics can be and often are just as typical for a beta man. Except perhaps where it comes to taking initiative with women (which is a stereotype too, a certain amount of men who fit the actual beta man profile do take initiative: but not like the typical alpha male would)

 

I've come to the realization that I've been looking at mumble rappers all wrong. I used to think they were idiots but through their brilliant ingenuity, they have set the precedent for demarcation of alphas by tattooing their face.

 

Yea, we all have our own opinions on it. It's what we like/dislike, what attracts us. No one can tell another person what to look for in a partner, when it comes to chemistry. It's all a unique process for everyone.

 

Are you suggesting you don't have an insatiable lust for guys with face tattoos?

 

I only lust for one man, now. Face tats don't look good, imo. On anyone.

 

I think a true alpha male has some special characteristics that allow him to be a protector, defender, and leader. They can come from all walks of life. Most alphas are just wanna-bes and true alphas are very rare.

In our society, the president is regarded as an alpha, surely. But Donald Trump is as beta as they get. So are most who fulfill the stereotypical role. They just don't have that special something that makes them a true leader. They are almost all betas.

If we think in terms of deer, there are five types: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omega.

The alpha is the undisputed leader. The betas are all toughies vying to become the leader. The gammas are tough, but reclusive. Deltas are submissive, and omegas are rejects.

In America I would say there are somewhere around ten to twenty true alphas. There are hundreds of thousands of the rest. Many betas. I myself would probably be a gamma male.

 

Trump seems incredibly insecure. I'd say he believes in his own mind that he's alpha.

Maybe this is why labels aren't a good idea.
