In times of war it usually are the "soy boys" that are fight the hardest and show the most courage. A simple fact is that the thing that gives people strength to do incredible things is social bonds. Fighting and possibly even dying for your family, your beliefs, your children, your friends, your community is something humans can do and usually the more people are attached to these things the braver they are. Good soldiers are not masculine posers. They are dedicated and compassionate men who care enough about their country and their family to lay down their lives to protect it, this is doubly so when you are fighting at a disadvantage. Usually the ones siding with the fascist dictator are the "alpha" men who are too insecure to take care of themselves and too selfish to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of their community. It will be the "soy boys" on the front lines to protect their loved ones and the "alpha" men whining and rebelling from within the fortresses.

Some women won’t want to date you for asshole reasons, and that’s good because they’re assholes. Some women won’t want to date you because they’re not attracted to you, which is good because you wouldn’t want someone to lie to themselves.

[@StormCrownSr]

You want to know about the most alpha thing I can think of? It was during my grandmother's funeral, she was my best friend. Our relationship was widely known in our family. I wasn't taking it well, and my grandfather saw that. We haven't always gotten along, and I regret that. But he gave me a hug, telling me "we will get through this". He had also lost his best friend, but he still thought of others. I went into his office and just closed the door. I didn't move for, I don't quite know. I think it was an hour, it may have been multiple. But while I was catatonic my grandfather sat with guests and talked and listened. He's not a people person, he cares for family and is kind, but he's more of a small dinner type of guy. We lost our best friend but he was such a natural leader and caregiver he would not let himself act like I did. Alphas aren't tough guys, they're my grandmother playing legos with my 7 year old self just because I liked it. They're my sister driving 10 km just to get my sick self groceries. Alphas are the first person you call not just for help, but just to speak with. People like Andrew Tate aren't alphas, they're jealous betas. They want all the respect with none of the work the alpha put in to earn even a modicum of their position. Alpha humans, like alpha wolves, are the parents, the caregivers, the person you'd trust your passed out partner with.

[@KlickPy]

I like your comment, but I just wanted to point out that even the author that coined the term in wolves said that it's wrong and the hierarchy of alphas, betas, omegas doesn't exist. And also, being weak sometimes doesn't make you less of a badass. But yeah, being there for people when even you're suffering is pretty badass as well

[@StormCrownSr]

It is admirable how your grandpa acted but in a way it is also sad that he is sort of not allowed to show his emotions at that moment. I hope he worked through his grief in another more private way and found his peace anyways.

I dabbled in the manosphere myself a few years ago. What drew me in originally was that I was coming off a really bad relationship, as well as the culture war that went on around the time. I just kept hearing this content calling narcissistic women out on shitty behavior, then affirmations about how you gotta worry more about getting money, get some exercise, and doing things that make you happy, which, even now, I agree with, it's actually good advice. Shit, it's good advice even for young women: Work hard and do shit you like doing, ladies. But when you start going down rabbit holes, there comes a point where you just keep going down a rabbit hole, or you pull yourself out. What made me pull out was just the blatant misogyny, racism, and self pity that a lot of manosphere members were presenting, some of them were content creators even. Like, how the hell do you expect me to keep listening to a mf say that because "narcissistic women get away with so much bullshit, that women's rights need to be taken away all together"? Someone tell me where being a confident and alpha ASF man comes into play when someone making KZbin videos is bitching about women not being chained to a weighted ball and stuck in a kitchen, because that's some zero to a hundred shit to me. Yeah, there's solid advice, but it's tainted by the fact that it doesn't just attract the desperate and helpless; It also attracts the biggest losers mankind has to offer. I advise any man to free himself from the manosphere and truly "GO YOUR OWN WAY"; Do the things you want, work hard, set goals for yourself. Take care of yourself, physically, financially, and mentally. Above all, appreciate and love the people in your life.

He had my number from a group project we did but MONTHS later texted me out of the blue and was asking me why I treated him so badly. Now, I knew that he had an entire friend group with 5+ people, we shared ONE class, and me “treating him badly” was just me treating him…as a normal acquaintance. I just wasn’t interested in continued conversations, so I kept things brief and polite. But then he launched into PARAGRAPHS about how he’s “such a nice guy and always tried so hard to be nice” and therefore I owned him my attention. So I blocked his number because I had already said I didn’t want to talk to him anymore, but he just didn’t want to accept that. So then he gets ANOTHER PERSON who used to be friends with me to text me on his behalf saying “you need to unblock [this guy] he needs to talk to you”. It was just such a confusing and weird experience. The weirdest thing about it is that he knew that I was gay, so it wasn’t even an attraction thing. He just saw all women like that.

Loved this video! I'll admit, I was a "Nice Guy™" from about 14 to around 19 (I'm 27 now). Then I came to the realization most nice guys never do: that they are in fact the assholes! And so I took myself out of the dating pool altogether for 5 years, not as some creepy incel, but because I realized that I needed to work on myself... I still was occasionally sexually active, and as I grew as a person and tried to correct my flaws of character I found that that introspection actually made me more attractive to women! a couple of years ago, I decided to put myself back on the market, but never trying desperately to find a partner (either for a night or long term). I just continued to focus on my own self improvement and living an interesting life. Not in order to be interesting to anyone else but simply to live life to it's fullest... I went through a few short, bad relationships, but now I am sitting in bed next to my sleeping girlfriend of over a year, who loves me for who I am, even with the many flaws I still have. SHE actually asked ME out! Not because she was desperate for a boyfriend (I'm her first boyfriend, but like me she has a history), but because she saw that I had tried to become a worthwhile person and because I showed her I RESPECTED her whether she was my partner or not, and was genuinely interested and intrigued by her but not in a creepy stalker-ish way. Nice guys only think they're nice and girls are either stupid or corrupted for not choosing them because they lack any basic skills of introspection or self-accountability, and blame everyone else for their problems.

(meaning a consumer of A is almost certainly also a fan of B and C). Seems to be marketed toward the same insecurities and frustrations. They're all attempts at machismo.

[@dreamymami]

I was very young when I was exposed to the manosphere, it brainwashed me into thinking that my only worth as a woman is when I'm married young, have a child, and live in a cottage built by my husband. So I blindly followed femininity channels to be the woman I'm supposed to be. When I started to date again, I tried to date "conservative" men because according to what I've learned from them, they are husband material whereas leftist/liberal men are "soy boys" who won't/can't protect you. Ironically, after several attempts at dating those kind of men, I was left with nothing but heartaches from mistreatment. Fast forward to the present, I met someone who is the complete opposite of my "usual" type: Atheist, liberal, and not against modernity. He treats me well and is respectful despite our differences(me being a Catholic, still a bit conservative, and is still very much in love with farmhouses). He knew I was a Catholic but he never belittles my faith and openly said that he accepts me for who I am while also being assertive of who he is. He's hot and dare I say, manly as h3ll! I'm head over heels for him. He actually does the walk not just the talk, he sees opportunity in modernity and use it to his advantage, is open minded, respectful, assertive, doesn't shy from complementing me, accepts me, and even encourages me to pursue my goals and dreams and to be strong and independent. He's just amazing and I'm so grateful I got out of that stinky hole called the manosphere. If I was still in that mindset, I would've lost the chance to meet and get to know him.

The thing with incels, I can't look down on them too much since I'm pretty much exactly the same but left wing. 90% of the flak they get applies to pretty much anyone who's not getting laid and has self esteem issues. The way I see it, in a more gender neutral world it'd be easier for people who struggle. The saddest part is when someone applies to whole incel stereotype to you, and just how pathetic they find you afterwards. My depression and anxiety just makes dating an impossibilty, I literally shake and sweat when I'm nervous, and I find online dating even harder and more nervewrecking than a real one. Sucks that when you try and look for people to empathise with, most of them are extremely sexist, right wing and wallowing in the most toxic self hatred. Right now I just keep myself to myself

I reckon the "girls like assholes or rather "mysterious" guys who may be assholes or may be nice is overstated even in high school.

The problem was, I was too shallow and wanted a "conventionally pretty" girls, partly due to peer pressure. So I pursued the girls who were not interested or only fleetingly interested, so I crashed and burned predictably. Meanwhile, plenty of guys these "alphas" would consider "low-t betas" had successful relationships because they were kind and balanced and shared interests with their girlfriends - band, theater, sports. Speaking of the latter, the "popular" kids with the longest lasting high school relationships were the guys who were actually genuinely nice people, despite being orbited by asshole friends. So yeah, the stereotype may be true for *some* of the teen population, but if you didn't ignore the counter-examples, the kids with the most mature outlooks were already having good practice on maintaining a mutually supportive adult relationship.

But now because people have an instant emotional reaction and can't rationally discuss their ideas, men are being told to discount them. Well, a central tenet of masculinity is not to blindly trust authority so I don't see it as a bad thing that people are flocking to them. Either compassionately listen to their struggles and give them better, more compelling ideas worth listening to, or others will. It's as simple as that.
