The term has become stupid because you got a whole population of males running around saying they alpha males and TRYING to act as though they are. In reality, that alpha is engrained in your DNA and can't be taught or acquired.

I think it's not even applicable because human society isn't structured the way a lion pride or bee colony is

e.g. if you want wealth it's not going to happen by knocking a bunch of guys out

if you want power there are many different ways to get to different types of power

you know what I mean, there's not one standard way to 'win' at human life or even a definition of what winning is

:yes:

For example, you have a bunch of dudes working at a law firm. You might have some people there who fit the criteria as "alpha", but you take those guys and put them in say...a hood spot or a biker bar, not so alpha anymore. Another scenario....you take a young thug...might fit the criteria as alpha, but then you put them in the military, or even prison, and they're no longer top dog. Now don't get me wrong...there are those with what are called "a-type personalities", but those are the type who are natural leaders who have those personalities and carry themselves in ways that people voluntarily follow them. Still not the same thing as alpha in say....a pack of wild animals. I think the whole alpha theory was placed on people pretty much by feminists with an agenda to make males compete to get women. Nothing more, nothing less. In a pack of wild animals, the alpha is simply the alpha because it's the biggest, baddest male in the pack and would fukk anyone up until a younger, potential alpha eventually takes his place.

Not true at all. The alpha males in any animal kingdom, including our own, are simply the utmost dominant males.

Dominance itself is defined as possessing "the most power and influence", and in our kingdom those with the most power and influence are the ones with the most current assets (money, inventory for sale .e.t.c.).

The likes of Warren Buffet, Bill gates, George Soros, Bernard Arnault, Carlos slim, The Sultan of Brunei are alpha males.

How'd that work out for Dominique Strauss-Kahn? power, wealth and influence are very different and very criss-crossed. Obama has a lot of power but many people eclipse his wealth. The owner of the Washington Post has a lot of influence but random Erin Brokovich types can channel more influence sometimes. It's very ambiguous.

ME




"Nas is . . ." - [Nas (7x)]

[Nas]
Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
My plateau, and also, what defines my name
First it was Nasty, but times have changed
Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my science for pain
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of cocaine
Saw my close friends shot, flatline am I sane?
That depends, carry Mac-10's to practice my aim
On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees
Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze
Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
To the corner thugs hustlin for cars that cost dough
To the big dogs livin large, takin it light
Pushin big toys, gettin nice, enjoyin your life
is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell . . .
NAS, NAS

[Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier (2X)]

"Nas is like life or death.. I'm a rebel.. "
"My poetry's deep, I never fell.."
"Nas is like.. half man half amazing.."
"No doubt.."

[Nas]
"Nas is like.." Earth Wind & Fire, rims and tires
Bulletproof glass, inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit, line em up with the stars
Tarot cards, you can see the pharaoh Nas
"Nas is like.." Iron Mike, messiah type
Before the Christ, after the death
The last one left, let my cash invest in stock
Came a along way from blastin, techs on blocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin acres
From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
Dimes, givin fellatio, siete zeros
Bet my nine spit for the pesos
But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called, history's made
Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is

[Chorus]

[Nas]
"Nas is like.." Sex to a nympho, but nothin sweet
I'm like beef, bustin heat through your windows
I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper
Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin somethin deep from they teachers
I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for
Always got you, I'm like Pop Duke you would cry for
I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts from a rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races
combined in one man; like the '99 summer jam

Bulletproof Hummer man
I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of em fam'
I'm the feelin of a millionaire spendin a hundred grand
I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
Live it, and I write down and I watch it blow up
Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night
Now..

[Chorus]​

An alpha male in an animal kingdom is not the same as one for us people.
