I really shudder to use the terms alpha and beta, but there comes a time when these cocky young guys (your "alpha" term) grow up, mature, calm down (your "beta" term) so it turns out they're likely the same person at different life stages!

That's the difference between alpha and beta. Alpha takes without asking, beta waits for permission.

So, alpha males act like whiny little children and refuse to apologise, and betas have the confidence to acknowledge their mistakes and treat others with consideration without damage to their self esteem?

Looks like I had it all backwards, all these years. Betas are the top dogs, and alphas are the spineless losers. Who woulda thunk it?

That was me.

I don't care about alpha male BS anymore basically because I'm old and I'm looking for a serious relationship.

If a woman wants a manly man who is unapologetic, oozes masculinity, and is going to beat the crap out of any guy at the bar who calls her 'hun', then she can look elsewhere. Chances are, that woman wouldn't be talking to me in the first place anyway.

There is some validity to your argument though. Women do not like passive guys. Passive guys suffer like you would not believe in this world.

No, "new member," giving someone the finger will not win approval. It will make the person doing it look like the douchebag he is.

Any more brilliant observations?

Or another forum entirely. One more age appropriate. I suggest Scarleteen. It's popular with ninth-and tenth-graders. OP will fit right in.

Funny. These posts fit well with the Urban Dictionary def. of the Alpha male.

Quote:
The alpha male is an act that is performed by males usually in their teens and twenties who act tough, are loud, and have to be the center of attention or they feel insecure. When a man is successful and in his thirties he no longer acts this way because he has grown up and realized that the entire alpha male act is phony. When was the last time you saw a rich, successful man try to pick a fight??? Never. The only guys that do this are the losers that go to bars to take their anger out because they are angry inside for going nowhere in life.

Having spent my adult life dating guys who most would characterize as alpha males, I can say with certainty that the OP is full of crap.

The guy I call my favorite ex - the one who had women and men fawning over him wherever he went - was the mildest mannered man. Friendly, charismatic, outgoing and terribly, terribly confident.

I would say he ALWAYS asked - because he knew that whatever he wanted would come to him eventually. And it always did.

True alpha males are not douchebags. Douchebags are the guys who aren't even betas, who try and fool other people into thinking they are alpha males.

Based on the OP's post, he thinks all rapists are alpha males. Nice.

I guess, but it's a pretty defeatist attitude.
