 think the most important things to understand is the alpha and the beta dichotomy right now and I think that there's a lot of misconceptions between what we consider an alpha guy and a beta guy and all my critics will tell you well if a guy is alpha there's no such thing as an alpha I don't believe in this alpha male bullshit okay because they they compare that alpha male to a wolf or they compare it to a silver-backed gorilla or they make it etymological meaning that they try to compare you know animalistic natural side of whatever alpha is because we're looking at an alpha male in a wolf pack or an alpha male in a gorilla you know troop then we're looking at something that's completely different and so when I refer to the terms alpha and beta always understand that those are placeholder terms they are abstracts and they are placeholders for an idea so when guys tell me you know there's no such thing as an alpha well there's no such thing as an alpha by your definition of it just as for hypergamy the definition for hypergamy when it was a sociological a sociological definition it deserves a whole lot more than that it deserves so much more from you know an understanding from evolutionary psychology from evolutionary biology there's so much that builds up to what hypergamy should be but we're still we shouldn't know this we go back to the you shouldn't know this kind of stuff we should just keep it as one you know it's very simplistic hypergamist definition so the same applies also for alpha and beta now I'm going to do a second speech or a second talk tomorrow and we're going to talk about positive masculinity and it's also I'm sure everybody else will be here but it's important to know these terms even before I get into that so just off the top of your head can you guys give me some sort of adjective or definition of what you think an alpha male is confident leading the group what's that assertive strong boundaries okay no expectations okay self-interested self-concerned yes balanced okay a lot of the a lot of the and these are very common terms of what I would expect from guys who want to apply certain demographics to what alpha is and if anybody has read the book where I get into my alpha male descriptions there is an element to to being that alpha guy to being the one that is looked up to a lot of guys want to say it's it's about being a leader of men they want to say that it's being an asshole you know being an unconcerned self-concerned individual others would like to say well you can be a leader of community you can be a politician maybe you know there's certain politicians you would say are certainly beta you have certain politicians that you would say are alpha but what we're doing when we talk about those adjectives is we're applying our own ideals onto what the ideal guy is so here we have the alpha male who's this ideal and we're taking whatever we think is going to define what would work best for us so say some guy is he's like he's a pastor he's a business leader and he's an executive and he commands attention he has status doesn't necessarily mean he's alpha he's got those qualities as part of the demographic that we're applying to that but is he alpha or is he not now you can also say that prisons are full of alpha males right now so you can be you know Genghis Khan was a fantastic alpha male but he was certainly on a lot of guys shit lists back in the back in his time so I want you guys to sort of drop everything that you think of as far as what an alpha male is to you and use that definition and I'm also going to apply this to beta males use that definition as as an abstract use use your definition put your definition definitions aside and use alpha male is just a simple abstract here and the same is going to go for beta I don't know if anybody's familiar with with box day and box days classifications of alpha sigma gamma and all that I think that has some merit to it I really do as far as defining terms of concern but for my purposes and for every everything that I write alpha and beta are always going to be abstracts so there's alpha that is the more positive dominant masculine guy that women want to fuck and there's the beta who is the more passive you know supplicating more supportive some of that guy who believes in in being the supportive male and sort of you know being the provisioner because I get into terminologies of alpha fucks and beta bucks and I'm sure you guys have already read all that stuff so just for the moment put that aside and just think of them as binary binary definitions what is the red pill what is the red pill to people
