What is with this Alpha Beta crap?

What the hell is with the Alpha Beta male crap? From what I've seen, it's a stupid concept used to look down on other people and make yourself look stupid. All this crap is bull-

The vast majority of those viral Facebook screenies are all faked. Sad truth.

@fraddddBS I'm pretty sure using a computer isn't "normal" by whatever skewed Christian biological definition you are using. Try another flawed argument.

It's not BS.

Guys who are alpha simply know how to handle women, are confident and comfortable in their skin.

Guys who are beta usually suck with women, and introverted and quiet.

That's simply all it means.

@FriedSnake Being alpha doesn't have to be exclusive to straight people, there are gay people who are alpha as well.

This alpha beta thing doesn't even exist in wolf communities based on research.

it's basically an asinine way to put down people who are shy, not so great socially, or lack confidence

As much as I agree with you that this whole "alpha/beta" concept is stupid, it doesn't only relate to heterosexuality. It's not only about "getting girls", it just determines how good you are at flirting and ending up getting laid. So if you were one of those people to actually use that phrase, you could still refer gay people to being "alpha/beta" as well as straight people. But like I said, the phrase is really dumb and it's hard to take people seriously when they say it. In fact it's on the same level as YOLO to how ridiculous it sounds.

Because it doesn't require any. That's why you'll never hear any respectable or renowned people actually sinking so low as to swear by it.

I repeat: what a joke.

Calling yourself something as vacuous as "Alpha" is an excuse for not having a personality. I and anyone else would literally laugh (and maybe accidentally spit) in your face if you were to make a joke out of yourself IRL saying that nonsense.

At least I'm actually being myself and proud of it. I don't even like women, so why should I even care if I am a Beta?

It's a way for people to either make themselves feel superior or victimize themselves. >.<
