>"Alpha Males Do Not Exist"
>coming from the faggiest looking numale I've possibly ever seen
Hmmm

Hollywood hates masculinity because it threatens blind consumerism

True "alpha" males don't feel threatened by betas.

go look up JJ watts comments section and tell me there aren't alpha chads. Dude gives women orgasms visually

'alpha' males do exist, it's just that everyone has their own decision of what makes someone "alpha"

>are we going to pretend there isn't a ____, ____ in entertainment?


The gaps can be filled with literally anything.

are we going to pretend there isn't a large amount of insightful, interesting things in entertainment?

>alpha males
>more than one
really makes me think

The science is not wrong, user.

the one and only ALPHA and OMEGA chad

What are PUA seminars?

Sure, capitalism has not yet found a way to commercialize the male identity.

How is this anti-male?

Yeah, nu-male mc-estrogen tits in the OP's pic looks Alpha as fuck.

>PUA

>Masculine men

I do agree with you about commercialize the male identity
But we commercialize everything

beta male baits
alphas don't need these things

That's right, no such thing brah.

>The dangerous but common misunderstanding about the concept of dominance and pack theory in the dog world is based in large part on research collected from studies performed on a pack of unrelated, captive wolves in the 1970s. The results of these early studies suggested that there was a rigid hierarchy in which 'alphas' (leaders) had priority access to resources, forcefully maintaining the group structure through displays of aggression to others.

>More recent scientific research has concluded that in the wild a true natural pack is actually composed of a mother and father and their offspring. This pack survives rather like a human family, in which the parents take the leadership roles and the children follow. In a natural pack, harmony is created because deference behaviors are offered freely by the younger wolves rather than being forced onto them by their parents.

>The original study’s results were also skewed by the observation of subjects that were under severe stress because they were forced to live as captives with other unrelated wolves in an unnatural environment, unable to behave as they normally would in a natural familial pack.

Well, then it's not masculinity that threatens blind consumerism, is fucking confidence. The 'Hollywood hates masculinity because it's woke' argument is just self=serving bs

>forced to live as captives with other unrelated wolves in an unnatural environment

Oh, so like any social situation where strangers encounter each other?

Maybe. Who knows. The point is the entire idea of "Alphas" and "Betas" is built on a lie. Cultural myth and wishful thinking trying fake a greater image of greater legitimacy by attributing itself to fake science.

>Baudrillard observed that in our pornographic, media-driven culture women’s sexuality is portrayed as a “devouring, gaping voracity,” a well of desire that never runs dry. This logic inevitably leads to the female sex becoming a metaphor for insatiable consumerism. He writes: “Sexual liberation, like that of the productive forces, is potentially limitless. It demands profusion to come true, a ‘sexually affluent society.’ It can no more tolerate a scarcity of sexual goods than of material goods. Now, this utopian certainty and availability can only be incarnated in the female sex. This is why in this society everything-objects, goods, services, relations of all types will be feminized, sexualized in a feminine fashion” (Baudrillard, 1990b: 26).

>For both Baudrillard and Le Clézio, the fetishisation of the human body is indicative of a much greater problem. The pervasive influence of consumerism and its hollow values have essentially replaced all other ethical systems. We are living in a period of moral degradation in which market fundamentalism has trumped all other ideologies. The modern subject no longer knows what it means to live a virtuous life.

>The play of fashion then, inherent in consumerism, becomes a process of reconfiguration of what is Good and what is Evil at the level of sign in a system where consumers have ‘been taught to look for things’ (1993: 46) that the system will always be able to provide. If you want to be a porn star on Tuesday and a housewife on Wednesday this can happen; it is vital, even, to the entire illusion of choice in the consumer system, bringing to mind Baudrillard again, ‘the only drive that is really liberated is the drive to buy’ (Baudrillard, in Pawlett, 2007: 91).

>umm we aren't wolves sweetie, who needs to be masculine in the 21st century anyway?

...

Someone might argue that "alpha wolves" are a lie. But tons of species have a social hierarchy, and alpha/beta is a simple way of conveying the concept of social status and social hierarchy. Dominant or submissive. You could talk about upper class, middle class, lower class. You could mention "patrician" and "pleb." You could mention "cool" and "lame." These are basic ways of dividing individuals into upper/lower, desirable/undesirable catagories, a basic way of saying someone is "better" than another.

Women are acutely aware of a social pecking order, they will do whatever it takes to not be on the bottom of a social pecking order, including ruthlessly bullying another female, or looking for any chink in someone's armor to attack. Whether alphas/betas exist among women is questionable, but females certainly have their "queen bee" and "mean girl" archetypes.

Women are continually testing males to see signs of strength/weakness. And given the choice, women prefer to mate with males with alpha traits: big, bold, brash, strong, a leader, high status, more selfish than not, powerful, abundant with resources, the pick of the litter, assholes. Rather than males with beta traits: small, meek, deferent, weak, a follower, low status, not selfish enough, not powerful, scarce with resources, the runt of the litter, "nice guys." Basically, the guy who eats first and eats the most, rather than the guy who eats last and eats the least.

A woman would rather fuck a bully than his victims. A woman would rather fuck a killer than his victims. Because she doesn't want her children to have victim genes. A woman wants her children to have killer genes.
