Is being an alpha male something that can be achieved or do you have to be born one?

>> No.2360758

People are more or less genetically inclined to become "Alpha Males", which does not necessarily mean that people who are not born with the genetic inclination can't become "Alpha Males" and similarly, people who ARE born with the genetic inclination are not necessarily destined to become "Alpha Males".

So to answer your question, Yes and no.

>> No.2360763

It's simple. The whole alpha/beta thing is total nonsense. People that buy into it are usually just losers that got burned because their undying, super-strong, poetry-inducing love was unrequited, and they hate women, then latch onto the alpha/beta shit not to promote masculinity but to justify why, in their mind, women are such dumb whores.

Or rather, you just defined Misogyny, and everything you just said related to Alpha/betaism is randomly strung together.

1) Find the alpha male.
2) Knock him on his ass.
3) ??????
4) PROFIT!

>> No.2360795

From the time mammals are infants, they seek to find their place in the pecking order. The place you choose or are forced into is probably permanent, based upon what I've read and seen of dogs.

It's basically a post-natal imprint.

Of course it can be learned. All this "alpha male" shit is is a mindset. Seriously, that's all it is. The problem occurs when you try and change mindsets...it's a very difficult thing to do.

Well, no, because if you actually listen to the believers of the alpha/beta shit, the underlying theme is that women date assholes. This isn't true. They just don't date you. (Not you, specifically, anon.)

The misogynist crowd loves the alpha/beta shit. It's about as believable as horoscopes and freshman papers on evolutionary psychology.

It is more or less your childhood environment, not any type of genetic inclinations. That's assuming of course that you don't have any out of the ordinary genetic mutations and aren't mentally retarded.

Meh

I believe it is to an extent but not ways most people view it.

If someone has good genetics; grows to be 6'5" naturally smart, handsome then we will be picked over someone who is 5'4" stupid and ugly.

some of the answers made it seem like you were against evolutionary psychology and others against so it was kinda confusing if you were to select the square if you agree or disagree...

the red is what I agree with, the green is what I disagree with, and the blue is what I have no fucking clue what they are asking really or don't know/undecided...

I believe some people have stronger desire to dominate over others. Some people have different desires though.

you don't need to be an alpha male to behave like one, remember that.
