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!

      Alphabetical ordering, I assume. Just not the right alphabet.

      Good catch. Though, I’m not surprised that anyone memeing for the manosphere doesn’t know the Greek alphabet.

      All they really know is that “Beta” comes after “Alpha.” And maybe that Pi is in there somewhere.

      ETA: Upon further scrutiny, they also put Omega before Sigma, even though there’s the phrase, alpha to omega.

    Elon Musk took one look at Sigma Male and went “Yes, I am going to model my entire aesthetic after that guy” and ended up looking like the biggest dork in the universe.

    I wonder what an Upsilon male is. The Wikipedia gives us more options than I’d expected.

    I imagine a phi male is just a bit out of phase with other guys.

    A theta male always figures out his angle of approach before beginning something.

    A lambda male fails at predictable intervals.

    A mu male is just a guy. It may be mean to say it but he’s utterly average.

    And of course the omega male gets pregnant but not like in a trans way.

    Curious what people suspect the other types of males are like.

        So here are two youtube videos on the topic: Strange and Lindsay

        Or Wikipedia if you’d prefer, though I definitely recommend the videos to if you’re putting any mental punctuation behind any of your questions.

        Tl;dr you’ll never look at people calling themselves an alpha the same again

      Pi males are a nonstop stream of irrational conspiracy theories

      Tau males are gym bros (torque)

    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.)

      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.

        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.

        To be fair names and descriptions don’t have any relations or correlation so you may as well shuffle them as you like anyway.

      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.

      Thank you for this thoughtful guide, you’ve actually somehow made me far more sympathetic to this arbitrary way of categorizing people.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      May as well measure my head.

      You joke, but they literally talk about measuring certain parts of people’s faces and have weird terms for certain jaw types/sizes and shit.

      It’s real fucking weird.

      It’s just a listicle for the alt right male. No different than the witch Disney princess are you, or the Myers Briggs crap.

      At this point I would be unsurprised if it was all LLMs just pumping them out.

        It’s honestly more rooted in psychology than any of this crap is. It’s easy to tell whether you lean introverted or extroverted. This crap is just Neo-Nazi eugenics
