Do you like stories with STRAIGHT ALPHA MALES?

[TheTurtleTrainer]

The question is on the title, straight alpha men for life

[Kyralynn]

Nope. I find them cliche and quite annoying. Especially when it’s a toxic relationship and the author romanticizes the emotional strain.

[Chloe5]

I personaly don’t mind it… I like characters that have a real personality and that are not afraid to show it. Like if this was real life, I like people who are confident and true to themselves

[TheTurtleTrainer]

Straight alpha males are everything

Our lord and savior created and brought them to this platform, I love her

this is a freaking joke if you can’t tell

[Caitoriri]

I’ll admit… I was wondering if you were okay for a second there😂

I think the idea of the “alpha male” is a myth. Unless we’re talking about primatology. But in humans? A myth.
Usually it’s just code for “abusive asshole”.

[Starlynn]

[Alexwrites]

i actually want to find all of those alpha males and dig them in a hole.

[TheTurtleTrainer]

Yessssssssssssss alpha males are perfection

[MoonW13]

I like a guy that starts off as the stereotypical cave man alpha male but along the way, learns that things like feelings and emotions are okay. That it’s normal to feel them and learns to become better. Does that count? Lol I guess I don’t much mind or hate them as much as others because I was raised around so MANY and there was so much more to them than that aspect. Haha they weren’t a 2D copy and paste that you see in a lot of Harlequin romance novelesque stories.

The straighter and maler the better!!! if he respects me, it’s a no!!! ‍♀:no_good_woman:‍♀:x: Hes gotta be so straight and male that no lgbt people even exist in the same universe as him And I want him to be diverse!

[stronglcve]

i stan

Okay I’m going to be honest- I do tend to go for what a lot of people would consider to be an “alpha male”, but there is definitely a line between “alpha male” and abusive asshole.

I’m not sure how familiar you are with [male] red pill theory or pickup artist theory. There is a reason why certain methods tend to “work” when picking up women and the sad thing is, a lot of women (not all) do respond to men with traditional “male” characteristics like being in charge and “dominant” (not controlling- there’s a line).
The thing is, you can find a guy with a lot of “alpha male” characteristics who isn’t an asshole to women. Abusive assholes aren’t alpha males but in a lot of stories, the line gets blurred. There’s a difference between being in charge and being overly controlling.

[Annieways]

Exactly. Although I would never date a guy who is aggressive and abusive for no reason, it’s not a bad thing if you have someone on your side who is able to protect you, just in case…
I believe in equality in relationships and I never let my opinion to be ignored in important topics, but smaller, ad hoc decisions - like where to eat, which movie to watch - should better be made by an “alpha male” sometimes, because I’m a woman: I don’t know what I want and I want it now.

[Chloe5]

Hey, we never said that an “alpha male” is abusive, right? To me an alpha male is someone who likes to be in control but it doesn’t mean in an abusive way… well that’s how I see it

[Annieways]

Was this meant for me?
I agree with your opinion, but others mentioned they considered them to be abusive. Honestly I don’t know what the phrase “alpha male” actually means, but I don’t see why a man couldn’t be a man without being disrespectful to women or anyone else.

[thesoulpunk]

this is petty as hell. i love it.

and no, i don’t. i’m a trans boy with big gay crushes on soft, cute boys like patrick stump and pete wentz. ew. the closest thing i’ll except to an alpha male is moira o’deorain, and everybody knows not to fuck with her.

[alphard]

I was reading an Episode story yesterday (Villain Rehab) and there was a villain who could turn guys into food and eat them.

Do I need to say more?

[TheTurtleTrainer]

keep in mind that this is a joke directed at a certain author

I didn’t expect actual answers

[Annieways]

Ah okay, that’s me. People don’t get my jokes and I don’t get theirs
