Showing Original Post only (View all)Yo, dudes: Alpha males are a myth, according to actual experts on wolves [View all]
Despite the different names, the story is always, monotonously, the same: In their late teens and twenties, when theyre at the height of their sexual appeal, women (or at least the overwhelming majority of them) have sex in rapid succession with an assortment of charismatic but unreliable alpha males and bad boys who make their vaginas (or just ginas) tingle. Then, sometime in their mid-to-late twenties, these women hit the wall, with their so-called sexual market value (or SMV) dropping faster than Facebooks stock price. As Roissy/Heartiste puts it, in his typically overheated prose:
So sad, so tragic, the inevitable slide into sexual worthlessness that accompanies women, the withering tick tock of the cosmic clock stripping their beauty in flayed bits of soulletting mignons like psychological ling chi. A sadistic thief in the night etching, billowing, draping and sagging a new affront to her most preciously guarded asset.
ok women, if for no other reason than listening to this little boy, can we let go of this illusion that society, patriarchy and men feed us about our worth in our looks... fuck this

While many women try to pretend theyve still got it, even at the ripe old age of thirty, they inevitably have to either get off or get thrown off the cock carousel. At this point the more savvy women glom onto some convenient beta male who, while somewhat lacking in sexual appeal, will at least be a good husband and provider for them and in many cases the children theyve had with alpha male seed. Those women who dont accept the new reality are destined to end up alone and childless, surrounded by cats.
To borrow the phrase South Park used in its episodes about Scientology and Mormonism, this is what manosphere men actually believe. Not only that, but they claim that this fairy tale is based on real science.
The problem, you see, is that the studies underlying the notion of the alpha male wolf, who aggressively asserts his dominance over beta males in order to rule the pack, were all based on observations of wolves in captivity. In the real world, wolf packs dont work that way at all. Most wolf packs are basically wolf families, with a breeding pair and their pups. When male pups reach adulthood, they dont fight their fathers for dominance they go out and start their own families.
