*[[Alpha|Alpha males]] (CEO etc.) - The decision-maker, the leader, who treats people according to how they respect his status. Women are very attracted to him. They are so attracted to him that women who would be better reserved for mating with lower ranks need to be restrained from his mere presence for a healthy, happy society. Day claims alphas generally view women as objects for their sexual and social gratification, and that alphas are typically characterized by their lust for status above all else. Day frequently portrays former US president Donald Trump as the archetypal alpha. | *[[Alpha|Alpha males]] (CEO etc.) - The decision-maker, the leader, who treats people according to how they respect his status.

** [[Sigma | ** [[Sigma male]]s (lone wolf alpha)- A socially aloof, introverted version of the Alpha male. He is effortlessly at the top of the social hierarchy when he can be bothered to engage with it at all—also described as being very competent. Generally has 'contempt', but not hatred, for women. They are claimed to be very attractive to women, typically very intelligent, and unlike the omega, he generally chooses to avoid social interactions out of disinterest and not due to social rejection. Can, in some sense, be seen as a highly functional omega, basically one with a superior genetic inheritance and a lack of the social awkwardness that comes with that rank. Supposedly prone to hostile social relations with [[alpha males]], as the alphas instinctively perceive the sigma as representing a threat to their social rank, as they apparently tend to view sigmas as rival alphas. Day presents James Bond and Han Solo as archetypal examples of a sigma male. Vox Day claims to be a sigma male himself. | ||
*[[Beta male]]s (Managers, supervisors etc.) - (Frequently redubbed 'Bravo' by Day and his followers, after the NATO phonetic alphabet, owing to the negative connotations attached to the term 'beta' in popular culture). The lieutenant to the alpha, they are described as valuing loyalty to their alpha above all else. Loyal but subordinate to alphas as they lack their status drive and confidence, they are privileged and protected by alphas, and often act as their 'enforcers', basically by bullying or otherwise correcting the lower rank men to keep them in line with the will of the alpha. Popular with women and generally not as emotionally dismissive towards them as the alphas. Day considers this the 'best rank' to be in as man as you get most of the social and sexual benefits of being an alpha without being drawn into the alpha's world of constant status competitions. | *[[Beta male]]s (Managers, supervisors etc.) - (Frequently redubbed 'Bravo' by Day and his followers, after the NATO phonetic alphabet, owing to the negative connotations attached to the term 'beta' in popular culture).

*[[Betabux|Delta males]] (blue-collar workers etc) - Worker bees, your, "[[Betabucks|average Joe]]". The most necessary component of society. They value respect like the alpha, but do not necessarily value loyalty to the alpha like the betas. They value their work. Tend to have a naive, idealistic view of women, though they are not as obsequious towards them as the gammas. Not popular with women unless they provide them with ample resources, and thus dependent on social contracts which guarantee them things in exchange for work such as [[tradcon|traditional monogamy]] for happiness. | *[[Betabux|Delta males]] (blue-collar workers etc) - Worker bees, your, "[[Betabucks|average Joe]]".
