I'm bored, I feel like writing.....don't take all this stuff too seriously, just random thoughts to this topic.....
To begin with the first post of this thread:
It's hard to take anything from "the Guardian" seriously, since this is the type of "news" outlet who purposely downplays Muslim Grooming Gangs in the UK, for the sake of promoting pro-mass-immigration and forced racial equity. Basically, the Guardian is the Fox News of (far far far extreme) Leftists. This is a 2016 article, published before the US election, serves as more of a slander piece against Trump because someone somewhere said he was an "Alpha Male" during the campaign. Then the article continues on with hazy generalizations about what being an Alpha in animals really means, in order to gain some sort of intellectual pedestal over the "male patriarchy" or "toxic masculinity", who may agree with Trump's so-called Alpha status; or whatever other nefarious social or political reasons there are. The article itself is hard to read, because I thought the entire premise was supposed to explain "how the "Alpha Male" doesn't exist within the human species", but it only amounts to a lot of "maybe this and maybe that" and that "humans are too complex to say whether or not they do exist", but because we don't act like animals in that realm, how can those attributes apply to human males?... the concept is rather simple, and not so complicated.
The fact of the matter is, "Alpha Males" do exist; but like Ms. Hunter said in the other thread and here, "they are exceedingly rare". And like masterblaster saying too, "it's laughable" that Trump would consider himself to be an Alpha Male, when he's so far removed from what an Alpha is. The term itself is more of social construct that categories a male's self-worth and self-esteem toward their own peers, and when you lurk on the internet for long periods of time you sort of gain an idea of how the hierarchy of men works....(again, don't take this too seriously)
The Hierarchy of internet buzzwords in relation to being "men":
4) Alpha
3) Chad
2) Normies
1) Beta
0) Incel
-1) Soy-boy
-2) Cuck
-3) Simp
===
4) Alpha's have the 3 B's working for them:
a) Brains - good intelligence, good manners, good confidence and a good soul. Respect for all. Humble about his stature, and never being a douche-bag about it.... "Smarts 10/10"
b) Body - good shape, good health, and good strength, eats well, "my body's a temple" type, able to defend himself if needed, but if smart, never attacks .... "Body 10/10"
c) Bank - good life prospects, makes at least 6 figures, owns house, zero debt, able supporter for a potential mate...... "Wealth 10/10"
One must rank high on all 3 Bs in order to be an Alpha Male.
Self-esteem is a non-issue, because getting a girls' attention is already effortless, since you'll already have her attention when you walk into the room. In fact, by achieving peak "manhood", the burden lands on the woman to step up her hypergamy in order to win him over.
Celebrity examples: Brad Pitt, Henry Cavill, Sean Bean.... (Seriously, Sean Bean took a knife to the gut trying to defend a woman at pub from a gang of drunk thugs)

3) Chads are less than Alphas, because they can only carry ONE of these "B" aspects to 10/10, but cannot for the rest. Failing at a "B" doesn't mean going from one extreme to the other, it's just that one "B" you're good at is your only redeeming quality.
a) They can be rich, but are ugly and a bit of a douche; like a middle-aged balding fat lawyer. ...Brains 7/10, Body 1/10, Bank 10/10
b) Sexy but broke and dumb; a mid-20s unemployed construction worker with wash-board abs who'd rather wait for the EI to run out before going back to work or finding a different sustainable trade. ...Brains 1/10, Body 10/10, Bank 4/10 (higher when he works).
c) Smart, but homely and living in debt; like an ambitious college kid working at Wal-Mart and living on student loans to pay tuition. ...Brains 10/10, Body 5/10, Bank -10/10...
Being a Chad is harder sell toward the ladies than it is for Alphas, because they have to push their one "B" quality front and center at all times. That one B is often the source of their self-esteem...but sometimes that's enough for women.
Celebrity examples: Trump would fit into this category as a "Bank-Chad" who basically had to pay his way through life and his trophy wife with his inherent wealth; otherwise he'd be too ugly and stupid to do it on his own.
===
2) Normies are those who see themselves outside this surface level hierarchy game, as they don't care about how the game is played as they feel centered and at peace with their strengths and shortcomings. However, it's a razor-thin edge to stand on, as vanity always plays it's part within the psyche, when focusing on their own strengths often find themselves subject to ranking one of their three Bs. Often time showing confidence in one B lands them in Chad status anyways....but then again, you thought they weren't playing this game in the first place?
However girls do like men with confidence and self-esteem, and generally that places them in the "fuckable" category, but would easily be overshadowed if a Chad or Alpha enters the room.
Examples: Myself...(again, personal experience)

1) Betas have varying degrees yet to be fleshed out. But the main point is that its a struggle for these people to get 10/10 on any one of the 3 "Bs". Like Normies, but with less self-esteem working for them. However to their credit they still "punch within their weight-class" when searching for the ladies so to speak, so landing a girl within their lifetime is not impossible as long as they stick to the traditional and conventional means of getting with a girl, and not shoot for the 'unobtainable girl' like Incels do.
Example: Comic Book guy from "the Simpsons"...?
===
0) Incels rank with "zero" because despite their inability to get with a girl at all, they still believe in traditional methods for garnering a girl's attention. Unlike the lower rankings below, "true" Incels won't compromise themselves to get with a girl. Even if prostitution is the answer, they believe they are still entitled to an answer when asking for the time from a girl. Except, beyond that, they have no definable qualities to retain a girl's attention no matter their own ranking. So forever, Incels are stuck in purgatory, constantly in a state of mental unraveling; trying to figure out women, while never adapting themselves....until they snap.
