TranscriptA 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."

I know this is terrible, but I find it fascinating in a sort of juvenile, teen magazine personality quiz, collect all the dolls type of way.

We've got our Businessman, Jock, Normcore main character, Sensitive Grunge Musician, Dweeb and Rebel.

Ignoring the manosphere bullshit and blithely viewing this as a team of characters planning a heist, or potential matches in a farming game or dating sim, how is this not kind of cool?

This is basically the Breakfast Club

If this was a dating sim, alpha would talk nonstop how sexy his cranium shape is while 5 others are doing a shooting on the background.

Then he'd hit you and tell you its your fault.

So Alpha males is the idea scammers sell to kids. Betas are non cunts who incels look down upon. Sigma males are people who buy into this shit but have no friends.

Wtf are Delta, Gamma and Omega males?

Edit: AND WHY THE FUCK ISNT BETA FOLLOWED BY GAMMA BUT BY DELTA!?

Sigma male always sounded to me like autist/adhd tbh

Alpha are attention seeking narcissists.

David Tennant is a sigma male?

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Crowley is a sigma male.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you could do the whole image with various David Tennants, or for bonus points with all Doctors.

I don't see fat sack of shit anywhere, so this clearly isn't all men

Six personalities of Modern Men?

That sounds less researched than like MBTI.

Why do all look so angry? Like shit, my ex made me angry too with all the blaming me for her affair and shit but like, these guys just look angry for no reason.

The right rejects nonbinary gender identities. Immediately reinvents nonbinary gender identities.

This list is a total scam, Where are my favorite type of guys? Where is the mellow punk? where is the just a little guy? WHERE IS THE WEIRD UNKLE?! Where is the Gen ex doomer with nice sense of humor?! Where is the closeted Christian who is really kinky in bed?!

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

Wow, hit me right in the gen-x doomer with a nice sense of humor.

Nice shot.

Is the weird uncle the kind that has the odd, yet cool hobbies. Like how people sorta don’t understand having a homebrewing hobby, but will readily accept free homemade beer? That guy?

Cause I don’t see me in there either

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think these manosphere "men" should be put in daycare. They're clearly not mentally old enough to be adults, so maybe making "dude daycares" for them wouldn't be the worst thing on the planet.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I have a theory that there's a growing market for third space gaming lounges. All those empty office spaces could be converted to row couches and TVs with Gamecubes.

The market was never large or mainstream enough before when gamers were just nerds. Now? I think there's a calling for a public living room.

Maybe the omegas could form a group. Maybe they could call it the omegaverse
