A tweet saying “Six Male Personalities Of Modern Men Explained: (which one are you?) Read the thread. " It has a picture of some of these, the first one is “alpha male”.It has a cartoonish picture of a guy in a suit. The next is “Beta male”. This shows a person wearing a blazer, with a sneer on their face. The one after this is “Delta Male”. This shows a guy in a plain white t-shirt. Next is a “Gamma male” It shows a guy in a red-and-black striped tshirt, with long hair. The next one is an “Omega Male” It shows a person with short black hair, glasses and suspenders.” The last one is a “Sigma male” It shows a guy with sunglasses and a leather jacket."
The right rejects nonbinary gender identities. Immediately reinvents nonbinary gender identities.
This is completely different!
However, as a manly army of manly men, we’ll need a banner. Let’s say one colour per man flavour, in horizontal stripes : red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. And since we are very proud of our virility we should organise some parade of this pride (name to be found).
Good job. Let’s reward ourselves with a nice evening at the hammam.
I’m a father, and I’d like to dress in leather for this event to show what a strong manly man I am. Do you have anything that says “daddy likes leather”?
They’ve invented the binary spectrum. It’s definitely gender-binary, but it’s also a spectrum!
I’m a Ligma.
Who the hell is Steve Jobs?
Ligma balls! Lmao
Ligma Deez Nuts! Got 'im!
i would never date a Ligma. my last bf was a Sugma and that was bad enough
What’s ligma
(Thank you for your service)
That’s how I was able to pay for my college
Ten bucks is ten bucks.
ligma balls
You now have ligma. Yikes
Suckudonese nuts
Not much, whats ligma with you?
I know this is terrible, but I find it fascinating in a sort of juvenile, teen magazine personality quiz, collect all the dolls type of way.
We’ve got our Businessman, Jock, Normcore main character, Sensitive Grunge Musician, Dweeb and Rebel.
Ignoring the manosphere bullshit and blithely viewing this as a team of characters planning a heist, or potential matches in a farming game or dating sim, how is this not kind of cool?
This is basically the Breakfast Club
If this was a dating sim, alpha would talk nonstop how sexy his cranium shape is while 5 others are doing a shooting on the background.
Then he’d hit you and tell you its your fault.
Well they would need to be playable characters otherwise you couldn’t date them or it may be gay. We all know everyone capable of playing videogames is a straight male after all.
“Look what you made me do!”
This would actually be a pretty funny premise for a heist movie. Have them stealing Lambos from a crypto conference or something.
This alpha sigma omega bs is just astrology for men
/ the new Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. It’s literally an ego toy, something you use to enhance the narrative that you tell yourself about yourself.
MBPT is the corporate astrology
So what is OCEAN? Bare-eye astronomy?
Well, Star Ocean is a decent JRPG series
ego toy
Thanks for the new term!
Worse yet, this is just a way to try to hierarchically categorize yourself as being simultaneously:
- part of an in-group,
- better than others
- a paragon of your sex
It’s just so pitifully shallow. Like, if you’re going to stroke your own ego, at least do it with something unique to yourself. Define yourself by the people, experiences and things with which you surround yourself. Define yourself by the things you do. Literally anything that would make you more than a penis with wrapping paper and a voice-recorded greeting card saying how awesome the penis is.
It’s my dick in a box https://youtu.be/Rt0spqQtMKg
Truly the manosphere made manifest.
They’ve almost found the phi-male. Keep looking, guys!
most americans wont get this because they say “fie”
we will take your language’s letters, mispronounce tf out of them, and call it correct
How do you pronounce Van Gogh?
Van Go (beep beep)
Fun Goth
doesn’t beat w.e.b. dubois
That’s a weird way to pronounce Van Gogh. 😉
thanks to the comment, i now know it’s van HHOHH or however it should be phonetically spelled. and no, i had never heard it said by a native prior to that
now i’ll be that annoying ackckshuallyyy dweeb that corrects people
If you don’t watch Doctor Who, and even if you do, Vincent and the Doctor is the best season 5 episode (no spoilers for the larger series arcs).
And that’s when I started questioning how I pronounce Van Gogh (I’m American, so I say Go with the long ō).
I recently watched the documentary Van Gogh by Vincent, which narrates his development as an artist by using his own self-portraits. Hearing the way the speakers pronounce his name is now cemented in my mind. Honestly it still feels weird, but I’ll get used to it.
if you enjoy art documentaries, check out tim’s vermeer, about a random rich dude who hypothesized vermeer’s method of painting using mirrors, then painted a near perfect duplicate of a vermeer using the method, having never been a painter before
Just call him Doctor and he’ll be happy
“Vuhn Gerdge”
I listened to a Dutch person pronounce Gouda (cheese) and now pronounce it that way, much to the dismay of my fellow Americans.
How do they pronounce it?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Nl-Gouda.ogg
A bit like “khow-da”. Also acceptable: gow-da. US: goo-da.
Astrology for people who know how to get ahold of rohypnol.
From the thread, for the morbidly curious:
Alpha males are assertive and dominant. They often take charge in social settings, have high social status, and are charismatic leaders. They’re the center of attention, like a CEO who can effortlessly command a room.
Examples of alpha males in movies include King Leonidas, Captain America, and Thomas Shelby. These characters are strong leaders, exhibit courage, and inspire those around them, often fighting for principles or causes bigger than themselves.
Beta males are less dominant and more agreeable and cooperative. They play a passive role in social hierarchies and crave forming relationships. A supportive colleague who willingly takes on a secondary role is a typical beta male.
Characters like Ron Weasley, Samwise Gamgee, and Bruce Banner are beta males who excel in supportive roles.
Delta males often go unnoticed in social settings. They are neither dominant nor submissive and are fairly average in social interactions. Their adaptability makes them reliable, but they rarely lead.
An individual who follows instructions well but isn’t a natural leader represents a Delta male. Harry Potter, Marty McFly, and Frodo Baggins are Delta males who reluctantly take on leadership roles when needed.
Gamma males are contrarians, often rejecting or challenging social norms. Their independent thinking sometimes makes them outsiders. A rebellious artist who struggles socially but is intelligent in other ways encapsulates this type.
Tony Stark, Jack Sparrow, and Han Solo are gamma males who challenge social expectations. They are highly independent, intelligent, and a bit rebellious, making them stand out.
Omega males are at the bottom of the social hierarchy and often lack social skills. They are typically introverted and may not lack self-confidence but are generally unpopular. They are often focused on specific interests, like a nerd who prefers solitude in his hobbies.
Peter Parker, Newt Scamander, and Walter Mitty are Omega males who may struggle with social interactions but are capable of extraordinary things when focused on their passions.
Sigma males reject traditional social hierarchies and value their independence and self-reliance. They share charismatic traits with Alphas but operate outside conventional norms. A lone wolf who doesn’t seek validation from others embodies this archetype.
Bruce Wayne, James Bond, and John Wick are Sigma males who operate outside traditional hierarchies. They are charismatic, self-reliant, and work alone, unfettered by societal expectations.
(He then goes on to plug several books about how to attract women.)
So… horoscopes for the socially maladjusted
Nope, right wing bullshit repackaged to be attractive to young men, who want sex. Basically the idea is to naturalize hierachy in male groups, while at the same time isolating them socialy. When you try to dominate others, they usually do not like that and lets be clear most guys want to be the dominant kind in that kind of system. The funny part being that women also usually do not like it. There is a reason half the influencers in these sort of communities end up having to pay for women or just rape.
Bruce banner is not a gamma male? This is bullshit.
To be fair names and descriptions don’t have any relations or correlation so you may as well shuffle them as you like anyway.
The joke is that Bruce banner became the hulk trough gamma radiation.
I understand, I am saying you can still call him Gamma male. Just swap the descriptions.
Well, I would have expected Bruce Banner of all people to be a Gamma male…
Thanks. I’m no longer morbidly curious; just morbid.
I recommend he takes those books about attracting women, and beats himself over the head with them until he stops talking nonsense. Curious there’s no examples of actual real humans.
I suspect the book is about as hard and thick as his dick, so he’ll be beating his head until he dies of old age
I find those terms acceptable.
Beta males are less dominant and more agreeable and cooperative. They play a passive role in social hierarchies and crave forming relationships. A supportive colleague who willingly takes on a secondary role is a typical beta male.
Omega males are at the bottom of the social hierarchy and often lack social skills.So they even changed the definition of betas. While the “originial culture” was a toxic cesspool, this repackaged corporate knockoff has no fucking clue about the origins of this shit.
Take the normies off the fucking internet.Such an Omega thing to compare oneself to comic book and fantasy characters.
Fuckin yikes. It’s astrology for a new breed of dumbass.
See, I was surprised at how positive it sounded until that last bit.
Lol they can’t even come up with real life examples and have to resort to movie characters.
I’m a ligma male
Just make sure you get consent first.
Sonetimes I click on the wrong video on youtube and get a) this kind of crap b) how to attract women videos for 1 week and I have to select every fucking one of them and say I’m not interested in that crap. Somehow youtube forgets all that if I click a “psychology” video again…
So thank you for spelling it all out, I was a little bit curious about that suck-my -dick personality (Sigma) but I wouldn’t go down doing that dirty work.
If someone tells you they’re a sigma male it’s because they want to be an alpha but they’re not popular and people don’t follow them, so they say it’s because they’re unconventional rather than because their ideology is toxic and no one wants to hear it any more.
I don’t want to defend this astrology for incels BS. But I will say that the descriptions seem surprisingly positive. Usually when I hear people spouting this crap it’s more along the lines of “If you aren’t an Alpha, you are a Beta cuck little bitch” or similar.
Thank you for this thoughtful guide, you’ve actually somehow made me far more sympathetic to this arbitrary way of categorizing people.
Can I be an omega female
So Alpha males is the idea scammers sell to kids. Betas are non cunts who incels look down upon. Sigma males are people who buy into this shit but have no friends.
Wtf are Delta, Gamma and Omega males?
Edit: AND WHY THE FUCK ISNT BETA FOLLOWED BY GAMMA BUT BY DELTA!?
Sigma male always sounded to me like autist/adhd tbh
Alpha are attention seeking narcissists.
I’ve always interpreted it as cope. “I keep acting alpha but don’t have anyone following me” “well that just makes you sigma, here read my book about why thats even better”
Gamma males are males that turn into a big green rage monster when they get angry
I dunno, they all look pretty angry already
Because clearly the graphic was made by someone intelligent (/s).
And afaik omega used to be last
Seriously? Not a single Brave New world reference??!!??
Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they’re so frightfully clever. I’m really awfully glad I’m a Beta, because I don’t work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don’t want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse.”
I guess the people who identify themself as “<insert Greek letter here> male” don’t bother about books much.
What kind of kid picks out grey or khaki clothes?
🤣 this reads like Cosmo for men. I love that for them!
We truly are approaching equality among the sexes!
Well obviously I’m the Samantha Male.
This list is a total scam, Where are my favorite type of guys? Where is the mellow punk? where is the just a little guy? WHERE IS THE WEIRD UNKLE?! Where is the Gen ex doomer with nice sense of humor?! Where is the closeted Christian who is really kinky in bed?!
Wow, hit me right in the gen-x doomer with a nice sense of humor.
Nice shot.
Is the weird uncle the kind that has the odd, yet cool hobbies. Like how people sorta don’t understand having a homebrewing hobby, but will readily accept free homemade beer? That guy?
Cause I don’t see me in there either
Pick greek letters and assign them to those guys! This is clearly collaborative world building. Im sure they’ll appreciate this.
they saw all the fun words that queer people have and got jealous
David Tennant is a sigma male?
Crowley is a sigma male.
I’m pretty sure you could do the whole image with various David Tennants, or for bonus points with all Doctors.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think these manosphere “men” should be put in daycare. They’re clearly not mentally old enough to be adults, so maybe making “dude daycares” for them wouldn’t be the worst thing on the planet.
I have a theory that there’s a growing market for third space gaming lounges. All those empty office spaces could be converted to row couches and TVs with Gamecubes.
The market was never large or mainstream enough before when gamers were just nerds. Now? I think there’s a calling for a public living room.
People no longer want to leave their homes to game, hence the death of most arcades
Interestingly, there’s a small arcade chain that’s pretty popular around my area. They specialize in retro games and have a wide selection, and from what I’ve seen they get pretty packed on weekends with people of all ages. They have stations of classic consoles (great if you want to play with a group), along with traditional arcade games and pinball. They do tournaments, birthday parties, and other events as well.
Not that it denies the trend, but it shows that there’s definitely some interest out there for a gaming/“public living room” kind of place.
Walmart still has arcades. Mostly claw machines, and you know how the man-o-verse loves claw machines with fluffy things!!!
With proper male role models in charge, ones with cool confidence who don’t react to misogynist/racist/transphobic/etc jokes. Who express empathy toward others, and who can instruct these guys on communication and problem solving tools. Not to “get chicks,” but to empower themselves for their own sake.
Basically, it has to be run by men who can show them what being a man actually requires.
That’s why they all consider themselves to be alphas. Because they aren’t functional or stable enough to be release candidates.
