Idk what those terms mean but it seems pretty gay to be comparing your boyfriends like that

Idk wtf a "gamma male" is but at least they acknowledge men with long hair now.

Elon Musk took one look at Sigma Male and went "Yes, I am going to model my entire aesthetic after that guy" and ended up looking like the biggest dork in the universe.

I know this is terrible, but I find it fascinating in a sort of juvenile, teen magazine personality quiz, collect all the dolls type of way.

We've got our Businessman, Jock, Normcore main character, Sensitive Grunge Musician, Dweeb and Rebel.

Ignoring the manosphere bullshit and blithely viewing this as a team of characters planning a heist, or potential matches in a farming game or dating sim, how is this not kind of cool?

Wait, so it’s like Power Rangers?

Also, why is Gamma after Delta?

Looks like all you have to do to be an alpha is grow facial hair and wear a suit.

They've almost found the phi-male. Keep looking, guys!

alphas are shitty spy movie villains, betas are school jocks, deltas are average joes, gammas are Kurt Cobain, omegas are school nerds, sigmas are the 90s school troublemaker

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I wonder what an Upsilon male is. The Wikipedia gives us more options than I'd expected.

I imagine a phi male is just a bit out of phase with other guys.

A theta male always figures out his angle of approach before beginning something.

A lambda male fails at predictable intervals.

A mu male is just a guy. It may be mean to say it but he's utterly average.

And of course the omega male gets pregnant but not like in a trans way.

Curious what people suspect the other types of males are like.

Pi males are a nonstop stream of irrational conspiracy theories

Tau males are gym bros (torque)

Why did they flip Gamma and Delta?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Good catch. Though, I'm not surprised that anyone memeing for the manosphere doesn't know the Greek alphabet.

All they really know is that "Beta" comes after "Alpha." And maybe that Pi is in there somewhere.

ETA: Upon further scrutiny, they also put Omega before Sigma, even though there's the phrase, alpha to omega.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think these manosphere "men" should be put in daycare. They're clearly not mentally old enough to be adults, so maybe making "dude daycares" for them wouldn't be the worst thing on the planet.

So Alpha males is the idea scammers sell to kids. Betas are non cunts who incels look down upon. Sigma males are people who buy into this shit but have no friends.

Wtf are Delta, Gamma and Omega males?

Edit: AND WHY THE FUCK ISNT BETA FOLLOWED BY GAMMA BUT BY DELTA!?

Maybe the omegas could form a group. Maybe they could call it the omegaverse
