The alpha, beta, omega designations apply to pack/family animals with less intelligence than humans and where there are more than one male in the group. The designation alpha male in modern humans doesn't really apply. A better description would be type A personality. A go getter type, etc.
So, I am that alpha male to my dogs at home. Otherwise, the term just doesn't fit men these days unless you are living in a family group with multiple adult males. In that case, you are a hippy. |

When getting a dog, you don't want the alpha. Well, some people do, because they are either idiots or assholes. And the alpha dog is usually an asshole too, that's why you don't want them. Middle of the pack is much better, confident, even keeled, gets along with others, and plays the role of peacekeeper. It doesn't mean they are pushovers. They don't take shit, but they don't freak out and attack at the smallest challenge either.
I don't know how that translates to people. It probably doesn't, but it's all just theory from some douchebags with a degree anyway. |

I got Otter even odds against all three one at a time in the octagon. 1k This would be better than Cruise -VS- Bieber
Being an alpha dog would relate more to the pack your running in at the time. I think a more accurate take would be do you have alpha qualities and if so how much? Do you have beta qualities and if so how much? It can also have many different forms. Ultra competitive -vs- Slacker Business owner -vs- Top management -vs- regular employee In shape/like physical contests, especially fighting. -VS- Big Pussy Success in all it's forms -VS- Living check to check, haven't done anything. Lives to be compensated based on performance -VS- Would like to see a redistribution of wealth because they are losers. Dynamic Communicator -VS- Timid I think you get the point.

Speaking of grade school our public schools sure have pushed the whole beta male by design. No tackling, pushing, dodgeball, prisonball and even tag has been restricted to two fingers. This is the last year my son will be in public schools needless to say. I just found out yesterday that tomorrow when he graduates from this school the entire school district will be giving him student of the year award. The irony is why I think they are giving it to him. He gets great grades, but that's not it. In his school there is no bullying of the weaker students because he won't let it happen. He has put himself in harms way consistently when he has been there especially the last two years. I just find it interesting that they would even acknowledge something like that.

Like you said it best to have a 3rd party say whether you are or not. If the majority of ppl who know you say you are then chances are you are. If they say no then chances are you aren't. |

I've always considered myself a straight Caucasian, male chauvinist, hedonistic pig.
What category do I fit in these days?
