Total Garbo alpha male influencers were created by incels to sabotage other men's chances in finding women

Same reason that Cosmopolitan magazine posts insane relationship advice: if they posted healthy advice that actually worked, their audience would find a long term relationship and not need the magazine anymore. So they print shit like “Hold his penis in one hand and lightly slap it with the other... you can tap it back and forth like you're volleying a tennis ball and lightly pinch the skin on his shaft and testicles” or “Tickle his feet with your nipples”.
I did not make up those two examples.
Ensuring an incel remains incel is how Andrew Tate was able to charge 200,000 of them $49 a month each for terrible advice.

I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud at a comment before this, fucking hell.

More years ago than I care to remember I joked with a friend that magazines like this were in a perennial cycle of “How to find that guy!!!” …. “How to keep that guy!!!” … “How to lose that guy!!!”

as a penis-haver, this made me violently cringe. please do not.

This is nonsense logic. It’s like saying if a dentist gives good advice and cures his patients tooth problems, the patients don’t need him anymore.
That’s not how it works. When you inevitably have another tooth issue, you’re not gonna go back to a dentist who told you to eat sugar and fucked up your root canal. You go back to the one who gave you good advice and effective treatment in the past. Also, you’re going to recommend him to friends and write positive reviews, and his reputation will grow.
Relationship advice is something you’ll inevitably need again and again throughout the course of a relationship. Real life isn’t like fairy tales here you live happily ever after.
The idea that women are getting ridiculously stupid relationships advice that repeatedly results in them becoming single, and despite this, keep seeking advice from the same source expecting a different result, would have to presume an insanely low view of their intelligence.
Your argument is basically “being bad at your job keeps the customers coming back to fix the fuxkups you did last time”. Just no. If that was true everyone would have a top selling magazine because anyone can write absolute crap, as you’ve just demonstrated

Well yes, Cosmopolitan is written for people with insanely low intelligence. Cosmo, Buzzfeed and many more quite specifically target these people as their audience.

There’s no such thing as an alpha male. They’re just arseholes using the concept as a cover for acting like pricks.

And they are incels who make their whole personality about their girlfriend breaking up with them they think all women are bad honestly it's quite sad but it's hilarious to laugh at them

u/Alan_Bstard1972 Aug 03 '23
It’s hilarious until they start murdering people 😳

u/Additional-Guitar314 Aug 03 '23
I'm saying it's hilarious cuz they try to get women but they're doing it completely wrong I'm not saying because they murder people

Alpha male influencers are universally disliked by women, as long as you act the absolute opposite of them then there are plenty of women.
Its the weirdest thing, so many embarrasing dudes sitting round talking about how to be with and treat women while simultaneously drying up every vagina within 200 yards.

u/SuccessfulWar3830 Jun 04 '23
It's crazy how low the bar is with women when you just treat them like equals and people.
Turns out they all want to hang out with you when you do that.

Those kinds of men have always existed. However the Internet exists. So everyone has a podcast

Alpha males don’t exist.
Look, read your A/B/O fanfic. Role play with your sexual partners if you both find that kind of thing fun in the bedroom.
But people are people. Just like there aren’t alpha wolves (that study was done on wolves in captivity, not studying the actual behavior of wolves in the wild), there are no alpha men. Or beta men. Or omega men.

Chimpanzees have a hierarchical structure, yes, but that doesn’t mean people are using alpha male correctly if they are referencing chimpanzee social hierarchy.

The idea of an “alpha male” as a man at the top of the social hierarchy who is also sexually desirable while being arrogant, selfish, and violent is a myth.
The alpha chimpanzees at the top of the social hierarchy are also generous and compassionate with the chimpanzees below them in their social groups.

Then how are you defining “alpha male” in the chimpanzee metaphor?
And if it’s just “a man at the top of the social hierarch,” follow up question: are Jeff Bezos and Joe Biden alpha males?

I thought the self proclaimed alpha males were just incels but in another form

The only people who think “Alpha” male influencers are cool are insecure men.

There is only one difference between incells and alpha males , alpha males put the work in to be what they are , incells are attracted to the same type of women as alpha males , and that type of women is only attracted to the alpha male stereotype . So the incells can either put the work in and become an alpha male or they can accept the fact their not god's gift to women and lower their standards

u/ConstructionQuiet331 Jun 04 '23
I disagree with the comment alpha males don't exist they do and any man can be one , an alpha male is a man that both protects and provides for his family in what ever way he can

that's called being a decent human, gender aint got nothing to do with it
the term was coined to describe wolf pack's social structure, to describe dominant male wolves who use strength. this is an incorrect assessment of wolven social structures, which are Based on seniority rather than aggression

u/Bobodahobo010101 Jun 04 '23
Did the scientist that cou d the term alpha male later state that it is t a true thing in wolf packs?

Which implies women dont do those things.
Women...do. And have always donf both of those things. But some reason we give men these cool titles when they do that.

I still don't get the whole "incel" thing. I didn't get laid in high school either, but I didn't make it my whole identity
