• What is an Alpha Male

  This entry was inspired by a few different people I have seen online who self identified, sometimes in bragging ways, as being an Alpha male.  In some cases they may have been correct, but in most cases it strikes me as a hallow and meaningless boast.  Especially when the boast comes from either liberals or ghetto-ites.

  First let us discuss exactly what an alpha male is.  In biology, and zoology, the term “alpha male” typically refers to the leader of the pack among pack animals, such as canids.  The alpha male is either the most powerful male in the pack, or is perceived by the others as being so.  The alpha male is free to have intercourse with any of the females in the pack, and if another male wants the same female he has to yield or fight about it.  The same is true if another male is chewing on a piece of meat and the alpha male decides he wants it.  If he chooses to fight about it then he runs a severe risk of getting ripped to shreds.  If he fights and wins then he becomes the new alpha male by default.  Alpha = power, and in the world of nature it is synonymous with the male who has the most power.

  When dealing with humans the term alpha male carries a very similar meaning (men with the most power and influence), but with one key difference: Power is not directly related to physical strength in most cases. 

  There are two components which are absolutely indespensable for being a human alpha male:

  1) Having power

  2) Using it effectively, which results in dominance

  I believe that the majority of alpha males do not typically go around stating that they are alpha males, because they know what they have and what they can get, so any such statement would be gratuitous.  Typically the “men” who go around boasting about being an alpha male are actually beta men who want to be alphas.  When it comes to liberal men I don’t really need to state why they are not alpha men, so I am going to skip over them and talk specifically about the ghetto-ites, gang bangers, thugs, pimps, and general whoremongers. 

  “Bangin lot’s a hoes” does not make one an alpha male, neither does beating on a woman.  Let us look at it this way.  Suppose that we divide up the supply of women into a heirarchy based on the primary factors that most men care about: physical attractiveness, youth, and physical fitness.  For the sake of argument let us also add in education, which is not necessarily a deal maker or breaker but it is something that many men also care about.

  Here are some graphs to represent the supply of women (Warning: Before anyone fusses at me about “objectifying” women please keep in mind that women also apply ratings to men based on their own criteria.  If it’s not wrong for women to do it then it’s not wrong for men.  In any case, objectivity is necessary in order to understand reality):

  

  So if one were to group women based on the quantity of the desired characteristics they have plus the abundance level (or quantity) at which they possess each characteristic, then you are going to end up with diminishing numbers as qualities and quantities go up. 

  The very bottom rung would consist of women who are either undesireable or less desirable for a variety of reasons.  The bottom rung may includes women who are physically unattractive, women who have had sex with so many different partners that they are considered irreversably contaminated or low, women who have children outside of wedlock, women who are single but who have aged past their prime, etc. etc.  The gang bangers, hoodsters, pimps, whoremongers, etc., may have intercourse with a variety of women, may dominate and use those women, and they may even physically abuse them, but they always draw their women from the bottom rung, or at best the bottom two rungs. 

  I had one of these sorts brag to me that he has banged more women than there are hairs on my head (which of course includes facial hair), and while that may be true, it is nothing to boast about.  It is like a man boasting that he is good at playing darts because he hits the wall each time.  Any beta male with low or no standards can easily copulate with women from the bottom rung, and he can do so without any strings attached.  But if those same thugs want to move up to the third rung it is going to be extremely difficult for them because the women in the 3rd rung will have higher expectations, and the odds are that the bottom feeding whoremonger does not know how to effectively socialize with women from that level.  Also, women from that level have more options when it comes to choosing mates, so money, career, and intelligence are going to be used as filters on any male candidates that approach them.  If they want to move up to the 4th level (green) then they will not stand a chance, because women also sort men based on their own heirarchy.

  The average beta male probably has access to the bottom three levels of the pyramid.  If he plays his cards right maybe he can move up but that is extremely difficult.  A true alpha male has access to every level of the pyramid.  The alpha male can pair with women from the bottom rung, but the thugs and gangbangers who typically run with those women do not have access to any women on the top rung.

  When I think of alpha men I think of the sorts of men who live in my parents neighborhood, which is an upper middle class to upper class neighborhood.  I can bench press more than most of them, I can also run further and faster than many of them.  BUT, in terms of real power what I have is just a small fraction of what they have.  “Well I can beat up most of those guys,” the thug might say.  Yes, maybe you can, and then you can go to jail and get sodomized until you have to wear a diaper to keep your fudge from falling out.  At that point you are not an alpha by any standard, in fact you aren’t even a beta, you’re just a bottom.  The fact is that intelligence + marketability = wealth, and wealth = power. 

  The man with more funds at his disposal has the ability to make more things happen, and to buy greater security for himself.  He can also offer a woman more security, as well as a much more lavish lifestyle.  IF you have any sort of conflict with such a man and it goes to court then he is going to have the better lawyer.  The end result of all this is that the alpha male gets what he wants.  If he decides he wants a boat he gets a boat.  If he wants to live in a different neighborhood he gets up and moves.  If he wants lots of space around him he gets an estate.  If he wants to live in a crowded place like NYC and STILL have lots of space around him then he gets that.  If he wants a woman with any particular set of characteristics he gets her.  He is not limited by looks and physical strength in the same way that the beta male is.

  One day I was driving into my parents neighborhood and I saw a bunch of families out.  The men had different physiques, ages, hair colors, amounts  of hair, etc., but the women were all fairly uniform.  All of the women were blond, all of them were thin or athletic, and they were all about the same height.  They also all had good facial structures, although I personally did not care for the way their skin looked as they were all tanned and had apparently been doing so for some time.  When I saw this I could not help wondering that if, over time, and assuming that the government does not interfere too much, the upper class people will begin to have a uniform look.  But upon further reflection I concluded that this was not the case.  The fact is those men represent an older generation, I would say they were mostly in their 40′s and 50′s, and many of the white males belonging to generations older than myself have a preference for tanned blondes, while the younger generations of men have their own preferences.  That being said, the fact is that those sorts of women were in short supply when those men were looking for wives, and they still are, but because of their wealth and power they were able to overcome the supply issues (which beta men typically cannot) and get what they want. 

  That is what it means to be an alpha man.  A punk with something to prove is not an alpha man.

   

   

  In case anyone is interested, no I do not consider myself to be an alpha male (I do consider myself to be a lone wolf).  I did finally manage to get the sort of woman I wanted but I had to go to great lengths and personal risk to do so.  I also had to look overseas to population pools where different sets of factors were at play.  I highly reccomend India.  I have heard good things about China, but I would stay away from the Phillippines.
