And we agree on this one😭

If you have to say you're an alpha male, you're not an alpha male.

I think of their "alpha" like a video game alpha: buggy, coarse and not suitable for public release

Or like alpha in science, like alpha particles that are unable to penetrate objects.

More like “Alf” male.

Ha. I kill me.

Strength whispers, weakness screams.

Especially since the whole alpha male thing is false. Oh right believing false things is part of what is sad...

Agreed. If you have to put "alpha" in your bio, you are not an alpha. Period.

a man who thinks of himself as a "sigma male" maybe?

Nope.

alright then, a proposal.

In the country of Iceland, sanctioned blood duels are completely legal. (a blood duel being an instance of armed, chivalrous combat where the winner is decided when first blood is drawn, no further.)

My proposal is to gather specimens from both camps who are willing (which given the connotations of "manhood" that are the foundation of the sport, would be very likely) we run several instances of 1 subject from each group facing each other, taking notes on showmanship, martial style,

and combat effectiveness.
