I just learned the whole concept of being a "lone wolf" is not actually alpha

Wolves run in packs (aka "wolf pack")

With an alpha male in charge of the pack

A lone wolf is one who's been ostracized from the pack

So he has to fend for himself because the pack no longer wants him

Kind of how a loner is almost always by himself because others don't want him as part of their social circle

So the loner copes by thinking to himself that he's a "lone wolf"

The real alpha is the guy who's dominant and respected in his social circle because it shows he's strong enough that others are lead by him

Not the guy without a social circle who nobody cares about

moon man on land.

the guy who came up with the whole alpha thing discredits his own work to this day lol.

i should imagine wolfs who get shunned are likely psychopathic or overly boisterous to the detriment on the group but to their own gain, pretty alpha

The average male is feminized. There are very few "alpha wolf packs." That ended in 2012. Lone wolf is a response to being the only alpha in ur surroundings.

Ur theory might've been correct in the past, but it is not anymore.

Fun thing about that is the lone wolf doesn’t care if you think he is alpha or not. He doesn’t participate in your little **** **** games. Because they are pointless.

I must admit I often think it is used as a cope for questionable traits/behaviour.

If it helps, think of it in the same vein as a woman declaring herself “a strong independent, empowered woman”. Now, some really are, but many are just narcissistic ungrateful immature self-involved bitches etc.

Lots of self declared lone wolfs will be poorly socially adjusted fuk ups.

This!

Only the retarded misfit contigent sees it any other way.

I.e trying to fit in, being a poser, consciously doing things because they think it's ALPH or.makes them look alpha when in reality regardless of the act if your reason for doing it is to appear to look like someone you are not that negates any and all alpha out of the equation..

Some people have some serious issues and need to start respecting themselves having confidence in themselves and be like that wolf. Walk with a strong stride.and stop giving a chit what the pack thinks

Goes to show where your mind dwells though..

Since you have the mentality of a child let's see...if I borrowed your crayons and I accidently broke one would you stomp your feet and huff and puff and want to.meet me at the swings when we go outside?

Come on man. Show us all just how tough and brave and strong and wise and HONORABLE you are.

No reason not to answer my question. It's clearly within the realm of how you live your life. You should be so proud.

It's called loneliness and it's just sad. You're not an 'alpha lone wolf' cuz you hate everyone and refer to others as 'npcs.' You're just miserable and alone due to willingly isolating yourself. It's terrible for your mental health. Humans are primates and primates are social mammals.

Always amazes me when I get and have been told by so.many I am.on a high horse. When I'm the most humble person you could come across. As if I have anything to be on a high horse about anyways but even if I did I don't take that type of.mentslity or approach in life.

I don't answer your question cause it can't be given any type of realistic answer.

Why do you care so much that you keep asking?

there is some truth though if you need a support system (like most people do) its better to exist in a wolf pack.

additionally you can't control your pack....if you are born into a family or town where everyone is an alcoholic or abusive and you abandon them as a lone-wolf would ...does that make you the crazy one? also plenty of great thinkers innovators etc were and are lone wolfs.

sigma male

A more internally-focused sibling to the alpha male. While the alpha male quantifies himself on his high position in the social hierarchy, a sigma male prefers to forego the social hierarchy and need for external validation altogether and pursue internal strength instead. Essentially a "loner" or a stray man, although sigma males may have a close circle of friends and loved ones with whom they share a deep connection. The sigma male is not socially inept but simply socially disinterested. Prefers solitary activities where he doesn't have to play social politics and can simply focus on himself. The sigma male accepts that he does not need power over others as the alpha male desires, but rather needs only power to control himself and preserve his own autonomy from others. Sigma males are often pragmatic but may be seen by others as aloof, paranoid, secretive or selfish.

Not to be confused with simply being an unlikeable *******, edgelord, or misfit.
...

Cliffs: Sigma Male doesn't give AF.

mental masturbation for loser cope.

There are exceptions where some people actually fit this model of 'signal male', but 99% is just basement dweller fantasy.

The reality is most are lonely and could benefit from working on their social skills.

Or, one has lived long enough to assess his perception of the human condition and is weary of it all.
He decides he doesn’t want to get entangled in other people’s lives , drama or negativity and would rather rely on himself and accept all consequences that comes with that life path.

I’m not afraid to ask tough questions. I seek the truth. And I don’t think there is anything pompous about asking how you would fair in a fight against the male population.

The alpha male is actually the father of the pack; alpha female the mother.
