Alpha Male Case Study


As I previously stated there is really a spectrum with alphas at one end omegas at the other and betas in the middle. Most people do not fit neatly into one category. It is instructive to look at examples of people that do fit neatly into one category.

One example of a pure alpha male is John Tucker from the movie John Tucker Must Die. Here are his characteristics: he is the type of guy every women wants to be with and every guy wants to be. He is rich, attractive, and a basketball star. He often dates more than one women at once and no woman ever turns him down.

Some girls who were wronged by him want to get revenge on him. These girls first try telling everyone he has herpes but then he turns this around and becomes a hero for opening people’s minds to education on STDs. Then the girls try to give him hormones so that he will act more feminine. It then becomes the vogue thing for guys to show their feelings. He even gets caught wearing women’s underwear and then it becomes in fashion for every guy to wear women’s lingerie. He has everything an alpha has: if something goes wrong he makes it fashionable, he is unstoppable.

The thing that does eventually break John Tucker is he falls in love like a beta. The thing that will break an alpha is for them to start feeling. They do not know what to do with the feelings because they are not used to them.
