...just pop-psychology nonsense? QUESTION:
"If you're the sort of male who doesn't particularly want to get involved in someone's dominance display, what's it like to interact with a dominance-obsessed male?"
ANSWERS:
"Usually the guys who have to resort to this kind of stunt are pretty low on the hierarchy and this sort of behavior is why. They're usually the first ones to make sexually disparaging remarks, whether in a group of peers or strangers. I, personally, find this kind of person highly irritating and go out of my way to avoid them at all costs. I tend to think of them as Omega males, and they usually end up with a very small group friends or alone and bitter."
Says Jim.
"dominance obsessed males are quite aggravating and will tend to flout their own perceived best trait (womanizing ability, athletic ability, intellectual prowess, money) to anyone they think is a threat in this regard or is getting more attention than they would like. I think it has more to do with self-confidence issues than anything else, that is the so-called alpha male also happens to have self-confidence issues, not that the trait is inherent to being an alpha-male."
Says Bob.
"Maybe it holds true for teenagers? Probably so. That would be because their brains aren't as well developed and they have less social skills. Also, it's harder to choose their associates."
Says Nicholas.
"I had a rough idea where I stood in the coolness stakes at high school amongst my peers. Yeah, I think it still applies to teenagers and dickheads who haven't grown out of that."
Says Dale.
But really, I don't think it applies to (m)any mature responsible adult mals."
Says David
I agree with wilful; though I do know a few guys who are like this, they are widely recognized to be the weirdos of our social circle.
So, what's YOUR opinion?
Attention Ritalin Generation:
If there are too many words for you and you can't stay focussed long enough to digest them I suggest you skip my question.
