again, the two concepts (Douchebag narcissist and alpha male) are not mutually exclusive


Well we've already established one of them doesn't apply at all so we can go ahead and strike that.

You’re either a female who can’t attract an alpha male and who’s pissed off about it like most “feminists”, or a male who wishes he were an alpha male.

There are men who have more magnetic and domineering personalities. We call them alpha males.

Think Tyler Durden or Van Wilder. Fictional characters, but I don't know everyone in your life to make a more meaningful example.

These were the men who became leaders in dire circumstances.

They were the men who we demanded protect us from the bears, the lions, the Huns, and the Nazis. They are the men who stepped up and led.

Alpha's are noted for high levels of aggression and risky behavior. It is a pattern evolved to stimulate risking it all to protect family/tribe/whatever. They were generally the most likely to breed and produce young. Even male-hating feminists polled say they are far more sexually attracted to aggressive "a-hole" Alpha's, than to non-Alpha's. Though they do prefer marrying more agreeable men and having those men raise their children.

Deciding they don't exist doesn't make it so. . .you might as well say there's no such thing as noses, for all the sense it would make.

beware PhD's passing off emotional, opinionated drivel as academic rigor.

Seriously question, do you do it for the attention? Or are you just that blissfully stupid that you feel compelled to regurgitate nonsensical shite like your OP?

Are you planning to run for the DEMOCRAT nomination for POTUS??

I see idiots staking out the most idiotic positions every day trying to create another 'lane' for themselves amongst the DEMOCRAT idiocracy.

This is just about as silly as Kamala or Warren - congrats - hope you make the clown car stage in the "debates."

No Such Thing As Alpha Males

quote:

When we speak of human alpha males today, it may be that we refer to the trait of social dominance: Studies have demonstrated that socially dominant men hold sway with many women, and can invoke feelings of inferiority among men.
quote:

Height. Being tall has a range of social benefits: Taller men demonstrate less sensitivity to cues of dominance in other men (e.g., masculinity), and show less jealousy toward socially and physically dominant rivals than shorter men do. Tall men are also perceived as more dominant than shorter men. Similarly, dominant men also “play larger,” as they are estimated to be taller than less-dominant men....
quote:

men with low voices are perceived as older, taller, heavier, and more dominant. In other words, he could best a competitor in a brawl.
quote:

Face. A handsome face also advertises a man's dominance as well.



I guess the takeaway here is that if you're a short, ugly guy with a high voice, you're likely to interpret the Psychology Today article the way the OP did.

I mean this one statement alone is exactly why Ebbandflow is arguing so hard on this subject.

One of my New Years' resolutions was to stop using this phrase.

Unfortunately there are too many people like Ebb in the world and I broke it apprx. 3 min after midnite on New Years.
