In general, I'm think that men who denigrate men who care about their looks tend to be threatened by those looks in some way. I daresay it's catty.
No it's not. All men know that a good appearance is key. It's just some men criticise other men who are overly concerned with their appearance.

I think men do this out of jealousy.

Yes they are a dying breed for two reasons.
1. The womens movement where some/not all women are taking more control and leadership in a relationship and drowing them out. We're running to the door so fast that men don't have the chance to open it for us. LOL. I'm not bashing the women's movement but it went too far when women started shouting about how they can carry their own groceries up the stairs and all.
2. Women raising little boys without proper male influences in their lives. Momma's boys in essence who miss things like getting a part time job at 15-16 to start paying for their uniforms, going out money, etc. This is how you began to set the guidelines for them to be providers/contributors and not moochers of their women. This also starts teaching them about responsibility and making the right choices with their money. Staying under mommy all the time produces a wealth of problems/questions that effect their manhood.

Indeed Huck, that truly makes you alpha, especially the strong coffee part. Actually, I think you could teach some of these young bucks a thing or two about all sorts of things.

The prison industry is really going strong. Prisons are full of alpha males. So no, I don't think they are a dying breed.

And that mentality is the true essence of an "Alpha Male."

And please don't think these "show-off poser macho" boys are anywhere near alpha males. They're nearly as pu$$ywhipped as the whiny "beta males" and "nice guys." Only difference is instead of whining about it, they're kissing a$$ playing into what many of the immature broads want. Whether it's the musclehead or the hoodlum, whatever immature teen girls and MTV determine what "a man" is.

Real Alpha Males don't have to declare it to everyone. That is like Michael Jordan coming out and saying he is the greatest basketball player ever. He would never say that because he doesn't have to. Everyone else says it for him.

Real Alpha men put their noses to the grind and handle their business for their families. They don't worry about what others are saying. If it means changing diapers, working overtime, fixing a leak, rubbing his wife's feet when she gets home, helping with homework, or giving orders. Whatever his family needs to prosper, he observes it and does his best to help deliver.

Real Alpha men are NOT a dying breed. Like most truly valuable things in our society they are not in your face. You have to look a little deeper. Their impact is seen in the people who love and depend on them.
