Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62753985 ... All of which is to say: Humans who enjoy the idea of "alpha males" might want to keep in mind that there isn't really any such thing. And to the extent the term has any meaning at all, it describes the behavior of captive, lonely creatures. Exactly. Chad is sad. On the inside. He beats up people because he can't make real friends. He bangs random chicks because none of them will stay with him. In the immortal words of Drax the Destroyer: "When you're ugly and someone loves you, it means they love you for who you are. Beautiful people never know who to trust." The universe is basically an animal. It grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62753985 Trump recently suggested that Donald Trump, bragged about grabbing women's genitals without consent, it was an example of "two alpha guys in a thing." In addition to shedding some light on how son views his father and manhood, it's also interesting because "alpha males" aren't actually a thing. As the writer Saladin Ahmed pointed out, the concept of "alpha male" wolves that assert dominance over their pack through aggression comes from a debunked model of lupine social groups. a reminder that the scientist who coined the term 'alpha male' to describe wolves abandoned it as useless years ago USE-FULL-LINK-zmqDdUMGpb pic.twitter.com/MeaFZG4Yei — Saladin Ahmed (@saladinahmed) October 12, 2016 David Mech introduced the idea of the alpha to describe behavior observed in captive animals. Alphas, he wrote in his 1970 book "The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species," win control of their packs in violent fights with other males. But, as he outlined in a 1999 paper, he's since rejected that idea in light of research into the behavior of wolves in the wild. In nature, Mech writes, wolves split off from their packs when they mature, and seek out opposite-sex companions with whom to form new packs. The male and female co-dominate the new pack for a much simpler, more peaceful reason: They're the parents of all the pups. Mech writes on his website (with the lovely title Wolf News and Info) that his original book is "currently still in print, despite my numerous pleas to the publisher to stop publishing it." Another Twitter user, Mike Westphal, pointed out another paper on the misuse of the phrase "alpha males" to describe breeding roosters. @saladinahmed @GreatDismal...and let us not forget that the alpha concept was first applied to female chickens, not male wolves pic.twitter.com/ZE5Goy70Ny — Mike Westphal (@mfwestphal) October 12, 2016 In the 2003 book "Sexual Selections: What We Can and Can't Learn about Sex from Animals," the biologist Marlene Zuk points out that social groups of hens do have "pecking orders." That is, hierarchies among the females with dominance asserted through pecking. But roosters are not part of those social groups, Zuk writes, and the idea that the top hen is somehow an "alpha male" bizarrely misgenders the dominant bird. All of which is to say: Humans who enjoy the idea of "alpha males" might want to keep in mind that there isn't really any such thing. And to the extent the term has any meaning at all, it describes the behavior of captive, lonely creatures. Over-stating a made-up point of contention, with flimsy support, is classic beta behavior OP- Face it... you are a "beta-cuck". Also, if you want to dissect human behavior through the lens of animal sociology, might wanna try a species a little closer to home... ever heard of a silver-back gorilla? Yeah, might wanna look into that. |
