Incels rather use it to describe people in hierarchies of looks, money, and status. | |||
Redpiller and bluepillers tend to recommend "being more confident" as "one weird trick" to get dating success, but [[Blackpiller|blackpillers]] regard faking confidence as a fleeting solution at best, which is exhausting especially for introverted men, autists, particularly ugly men and other omega males, without real status or significance on which they could base their confidence on, also fearing bullying for appearing overconfident or awkward. | |||

An '''alpha male''' | An '''alpha male''' colloquially mostly refers to a sexually successful male with high peer popularity. | ||
Generally it means at the top of the hierarchy, i.e. the most physically dominant male or the most accomplished or wealthy one. There is nothing pseudo-scientific or conspiratorial about the fact that men differ in their social and material success, giving them a label, and pointing their privilege. The term "alpha" is indeed used in academia to describe humans in an overarching sexual context, not just animals.{{citation needed}} | |||
[[Alpha]] males are typically very good looking or very wealthy. | [[Alpha]] males are typically very good looking and/or very wealthy, have wide shoulders and are often tall. | ||
Alpha males may also tend to have very dominating personalities. | |||
The alpha male is often the kind of man whom everyone listens to when he speaks. | |||
Around 10% of all [[men]] are alpha males.{{citation needed}} | |||
The average alpha male has had dozens of [[sex|lays]] by the time he is 20. | |||

It is possible for an alpha male to be sleazy, manipulative, aggressive, or abusive, but alphas are also often genuinely good guys because life is good for them and they have little to gain from competitiveness, rather they only gain and secure their status by maintaining alliances with betas. | ||

It is also not always guaranteed that an alpha male will be alpha in every environment he is in, a high school jock for example may be an alpha in his school, but descend to the lower portions of the hierarchy once he leaves high school (aka "he ''peaked'' in high school"). Likewise, a slayer Chad may take a back seat and effectively assume the role of beta or omega temporarily if forced into a situation he wouldn't normally find himself in, such as a D&D session with only male players. | It is also not always guaranteed that an alpha male will be alpha in every environment he is in, a high school jock for example may be an alpha in his school, but descend to the lower portions of the hierarchy once he leaves high school (aka "he ''peaked'' in high school").
