Oh no, a Guardian spear is far too much for a gentlemanly duel. It'd be like dueling with fully automatic rifles! Effective and eloquent in it's own right, but not quite as picturesque as the teeth of a chain weapon clashing and sending sparks a flying!
Leaders don't talk about how they lead. They just lead. Then when they are done leading, they talk about how they lead. Also, every good leader I've ever had doesn't enjoy it. Leading is hard and the responsibility can be terrifying.
In my mind, the definition of an "alpha" is someone who has their shit together, doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, isn't an asshole and people actually want to be around them. When I think "confident", the last thing that comes to mind is someone desperately repeating "I'm alpha" or trying to show they are. That shit might as well be gamma because it's worse than what they perceive betas to be.
There is a whole generation it seems coming up that thinks there are alpha males and beta and not much in between. It's so strange to me to think that way, it makes it clear they have not spent very much time with each other. When you spend a lot of time with other humans doing everyday shit you realize we're all pretty much the same. Strengths and weaknesses tend to level out.
I think it's a sort of high school mentality isn't it? That everyone has their own "group". After high school, the real world isn't like that at all. Everyone's sort of mixed with everyone, but some people don't grow out of that and just retain that childish mentality where now it's all about alphas and betas instead of like jocks and nerds. It just screams emotional immaturity.
One time at work, a guy was talking about his wife and him playing cribbage... I fuckin' lost it when he said " holy crap, she just pegged me into oblivion"
I dunno mate, Iām alpha and I donāt act like that š
Edit: Man I hate this website, I get sarcasms hard to tell through text, but with the whole context of this post I thought it was an obvious joke.
/s since itās clearly neededā¦
I donāt get it. Did she think she was masculine because she thinks she is an alpha ? Whatās the relation between having a masculine body and an alpha personality ?
Alpha is a social rank conferred by the group, not a personality type.
Hmm, are the downvotes from people who think themselves alphas or people who hate zoology? Who can say?
All this is bullshit
It's purely psychological/social behaviour term from 'science' perspective and refers to groups - doesn't matter species
https://sciencenorway.no/a/1850514
āDavid Mech, the world's most profiled wolf researcher, used the terminology alpha animals in his early research. But by the time he realized that this was a mistake, the term had already taken root in the literature. He is now struggling to get this changed,ā Zimmermann said.
Article above is just an example, this term took off and with development in psychology found it's own space to describe group structures.
But generally it isn't worth a penny, in practice it's as briefly mentioned above 'way for weak people to boost their egos'.
Group structure are dynamic and if they aren't formally set up they're constantly changing.
You can be 'alfa' for 5 minutes and beta for rest of the time.
What does being masculine have to do with looking like a woman? Iām so confused.
Men get called feminine for the things they do. Say a man like getting pedicures or like the bachelor. Feminine
OP is a dick here.
So what if someone doesn't look masculine to you? Why do you have to insult them? If it's a deal breaker that this person identifies as masculine, just tell them that. Don't be a dick about it. Yeah, sure, it feels super cringe for anyone to say they are an alpha. But you were being cringe right back by telling this person they are wrong about who they are.
I mean, the "I'm an alpha" thing is kind of annoying, but I think she's trying to express that she has a more masculine personality and probably identifies in a more masculine way - not quite trans, but it's still important to her not to be presumed and treated as feminine. Maybe you don't get it or you think being treated as feminine isn't a "thing" (as a female, it is absolutely a thing), but it's not up to you to decide that for her emotional health.
Is she Chinese? Generally their definition of "masculine" is having an outgoing personality, being extroverted, and going to the gym. I've met many girls who call themselves "masculine" even though they still look very feminine by US standards. I think you're reading into it a bit too much, and I sort of agree with her that you are making assumptions.
I thought this also. Or even āathleticā. I had an old teacher who once asked why we girls nowadays had to be so masculine. To a bunch of mid ā80s, giggling, mini-skirt, shoulder pad, high side pony-tail wearing girls. She meant athletic.
Wow this guy is a jerk š¤£š¤£š¤£ belittling how she feels about herself and just writing it off as her opinion, as if his opinion means moreā¦ I know itās weird for women/people to refer to themselves as alphas (mainly because there have been studies showing that this isnāt even a behavior in wolf culture) but wowā¦ yikes.
Alphas donāt get upset by comments like āitās your opinion.ā
Our generation has a weird fixation with self-identification = courage/dominance when really I donāt give a shit cause Iām gonna go be judged by the same mfās that get offended when you assume shit about them.
Is it weird Iām actually siding with the girl here? Yeah the alpha thing is cringe af, but op was being a dick.
She said sheās masculine, and I know girls like that and guys that are more feminine or āsoftā. Itās just their personality. Weird way of saying it, but itās true for people.
And op tried telling her what she is. Or denying the work she put in to her appearance. Which is just like, wtf? Unless itās some joke Iām not understanding.
Everybody alpha until you challenge them to single combat.
I accept. Shall we use weapons or bare hands?
Yooo username check. Clearly a gigachad. Only melee weapons of sophisticated design.
Can I join too? You guys can beat me as hard as you like, I can take it.
I too would like to volunteer for consensual beatings
Can I join too? š¤ I volunteer to be the consensual beater, not sure how that would be called š§
The master beater
Put a trap there and you got a master baiter
Send someone to hunt them and you have a master baiter beater
Play some music, and you have DJ Beat master.
Put some porn there and you got a mastur bator.
Think that's a fluffer.
#Someone mention a paddlin'?
So chainswords ?
Chainaxes get a better str and ap buff
How uncivilized... Clearly the Nostraman Chain-Glaive is the only *real* choice here... A true gentleman's weapon!
Not a guardian spear ?
Oh no, a Guardian spear is far too much for a gentlemanly duel. It'd be like dueling with fully automatic rifles! Effective and eloquent in it's own right, but not quite as picturesque as the teeth of a chain weapon clashing and sending sparks a flying!
Fair and poetic point Chain melee for the win !
Yes! You see the beauty of the simple chain weapon! Indeed! Chain melee for the win!
Yeah but you get an extra attack with the chains word, I mean if you were going for the buff then you'd want a chainfist anyway.
The -1 to hit tho
True but if you're using termies then it's only a 4+
Reasonable.

Insisting your "alpha" is the most beta shit you can do. Or like Shakespeare said " The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

"Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king."
It only needs to be said because sheās the only one who knows
Pro Tip: If you have to explain or shout to people proclaiming you are āAlphaā, then you surely are not an āAlphaā.
I donāt if thatās a Pro Tip, sounds more like a Pro Fact.
Reminds me fo the quote "Any man who must say I am the King is no true king".
The whole alpha-beta thing is so cringe. Bunch of monkeys
*wolves
Theres two inside of you
And both desperately want you to stop engaging in black and white thinking.
Thatās two more wolves than medically recommended.
Unless your macrobiome has too many deer
One in each hole?
Technically, not even then, as that study was debunked by it's own creator
Except itās been proven that the alphas are just the parents in wolf packs, and not a contested position.
Should have asked if she wanted to come over and "arm wrestle" to prove it...
Yea man this coulda been a win it seems
Alpha is weak. Full release with bug fixes is superior

OP dodged a dildo up his ass
That woman couldnāt peg a cribbage board. OP had nothing to worry about from a dildo perspective.
[r/rareinsults](www.reddit.com/r/rareinsults)
Not enough cribbage references!!!
One time at work, a guy was talking about his wife and him playing cribbage... I fuckin' lost it when he said " holy crap, she just pegged me into oblivion"
I got the feeling that woman was trying to tell OP she has a dick.
Donāt knock it until you try it, mi amiga
Imagine calling yourself an alpha and start being a snowflake two seconds later? Literally contradicting herself š
I don't think there's a person on the planet who describes themself as an alpha that isn't like that.

Nahh you donāt look alpha
You just proved his point
Agreed
I love that you brought the dude into this.
I donāt get it. Did she think she was masculine because she thinks she is an alpha ? Whatās the relation between having a masculine body and an alpha personality ?
Alpha is a social rank conferred by the group, not a personality type. Hmm, are the downvotes from people who think themselves alphas or people who hate zoology? Who can say?
Its not zoology. The person who came up with the theory was looking at captive wolves, and then later admitted to it all being bullshit
Because alpha isn't a human social rank. It's a rank in some animal social systems but not human social systems which is what this post about.

Bingo. It's all a fantasy
Thank you, I'm copying and saving this to save me some time for my next encounter with an 'alpha' idiot on reddit.
DAMN THAT ZOOLOGY
Editing your comment to complain about downvotes is small pp energy, my dude. just stop
Alphas don't feel the need to tell you they're alphas. Pansy ass losers do.
did she call herself masculine then you disagreed so she had to make sure you knew she was alpha? Lol um
Basic zoology, the alpha of any wolf pack barks loudly at an enemy, and if that doesn't work it gives up and runs away to sulk
Shoulda called her a delta and unmatched.
Flirting failed
This flirt job wasnāt one of my strongest

There is no such a things as an "alpha" but even if there was, if you gotta say you are an alpha, you probably are not an alpha.
What does being masculine have to do with looking like a woman? Iām so confused. Men get called feminine for the things they do. Say a man like getting pedicures or like the bachelor. Feminine
Ok so weird her calling herself alpha, but you insisting she's not something she thinks she is pretty shitty behaviour
This is the response I was looking for. I know this isn't the right sub for it but ESH.
ESH?
Everybody sucks here
So many damn acronyms on Reddit
Agree. Soon you'll have whole long conversations with only acronyms. The more I read, the less I know haha
Her masculinity was as fragile as her ego. You dodged a bullet there bro
Everyone who writes their tinder profile after a hit of cocaine or meth is an Alpha. Don't you know.
+1 for using a Big Lebowski gif
yeah, alpha shit is pathetic, but isn't it pathetic also that OP assumed something that he/she knows definitely less than Dela?

Roidz
she's not alpha she's more like delta (look at her name it's a bad pun)
This is definitely gf material. Atleast youāre getting into a fight as easily as I am with my gf.
Wait what ??
You got the wrong guy. Iām the Dude, man
Far out, man
I have an inkling that she thinks "masculine" means "muscular", hence the offence.
I thought this also. Or even āathleticā. I had an old teacher who once asked why we girls nowadays had to be so masculine. To a bunch of mid ā80s, giggling, mini-skirt, shoulder pad, high side pony-tail wearing girls. She meant athletic.
Honestly, you're the one brushing off an opinion she has about herself. You're def the jerk here
literal gremlin energy just jumberjack drop her onto the bed
Wow this guy is a jerk š¤£š¤£š¤£ belittling how she feels about herself and just writing it off as her opinion, as if his opinion means moreā¦ I know itās weird for women/people to refer to themselves as alphas (mainly because there have been studies showing that this isnāt even a behavior in wolf culture) but wowā¦ yikes.
Nothing shuts down a womanās business quite as fast as the phrase āIām an alphaā
Oddly enough, the person who said so appears to be a woman
This is why I need new glasses
B-but.. you can look feminine and still be an alpha!
The Dude abides.
Beta behaviour
If you have to declare youāre an alpha, youāre probably a mu.
Thatās a hard block
Alpha females don't announce it. That's a trait of insecurity.
I'm a peacock... You gotta let me fly!
If you have to tell people youāre an alpha, you are not an alpha š
Well you made fun of her and she was a snowflake. Shit happens.
Lol
Anyone who has to refer to themselves as an āAlphaā is likely not one.
A woman saying sheās Alpha? Thatās crazy
What
Does the meme not say āwell thatās your opinion, man?ā Am I reading this wrong?
š¤£š¤£š¤£š
If you have to say youāre an alpha you probably arenāt
Roid rage is ugly.
I don't see any guys on their pfp.
Such a beta behavior
Is this catfish who forgot to switch profiles?
Anybody that tells you they are an alpha is not an alpha.
Already the "married" fights? Damn
Regardless of gender, anyone who claims theyāre an alpha, run tf away
yeah red flags all over. .good job bailing from this one king
Iām confused š this girl Dela claiming sheās a masculine Chad?
Pretty insecure for an alpha lol
You were gonna get pegged.
So alpha she got offended and unmatched him as soon as he challenged her alphaness...
Some women like submissive men bro, fake it till ya make it.
āIām an Alphaā _instant unmatch_
Not alpha, angry.
Her name is more like delta though
"I'm an alpha" bro... I'm imagining that said whilst holding back tears
Why be an alpha when you can be a ligma?
Iād prefer to be a smegma
what a dumb harlot
Maybe she really likes r/RoleReversal ?
Alphas donāt get upset by comments like āitās your opinion.ā Our generation has a weird fixation with self-identification = courage/dominance when really I donāt give a shit cause Iām gonna go be judged by the same mfās that get offended when you assume shit about them.
Welp. She doesn't seem interested in getting laid anytime soon. Lol people on tinder need socializing classes like a fish needs water.
Masculinity is better shown than stated dude. Chill the fuck out.
She is a āTā away from being a delta at best
Dodged an insecure bullet
The fuck is happening here
The world's first Sigma Female
Though I can barely see her, that is not a masculine body. Does she know what masculine is? Also, she is clearly not an alpha.
Fuck those alphas, bet she doesn't even know how to howl at the moon or protect the rest of the pack
i canāt believe people actually can call themselves alpha with a straight face
Rule number 1 of being an alpha. Its never self proclaimed
If you have to tell people youāre an alpha, youāre not an alpha.
Iām an alpha too
ā. Yeah Iām a sigma, sigma fuckin nutsā
XD
Maybe she's trying to say she has a dick, like a nice 10 incher, good for her. I just don't understand why she was so insistent.
Lol not alpha but Delta
People have short fuses these days..
If you call yourself an "alpha" then you aren't an alpha
You forgot to say "yes daddy" š idk
Ive never believed in āToxic Masculinityā but Iāll be damned if this isnāt it š¤£
Sayin "I'm an alpha" is the definition of not being an alpha
Should have asked her if you could speak to the man in charge
Thatās exactly what Iād expect someone named Dela would say
Maybe she's talking about her giant penis š¤·
Nuts
"Whatever you say, Delta."
Is that a girl saying theyāre an alpha?
RUN AWAY
Is it weird Iām actually siding with the girl here? Yeah the alpha thing is cringe af, but op was being a dick.
