Had a lengthy friendship with a gamma just end because he grew too jealous. Mad at myself for putting up with it for so long. It was likely not a real friendship in the first place

The author of that quote is retarded. I respect a written IDK more than being led down a rabbit hole of retardery.

This also looks like the Hollywood gamma hero written by gamma screenwriters. Those women are watching too much netflix for their own good.

“He’s part alpha male and part beta male, but also nothing like the two at all. One minute he’s romantic, the next he gets clingy, and then he’s oddly at peace with the world, only to lose all self-confidence when the pressure is on.”

Is it because these women see themselves in the gamma?

That would beautifully compliment the idea that gammas act like women.

I appreciate whoever described gammas as when female software and male hardware collide. The same personality traits are amply seen in both. Especially in corporate settings.

So, is Jordan Peterson ghost writing as a woman who is an expert on Gamma now? She may as well have said the Gamma cleans his room, but also takes his medication.

This is the dumbest, most internally inconsistent shit I’ve read all week. FFS.

Well... there's a paragraph that may be right. Some people would write that mess out of an attempt to examine the positive aspects of gammas. Some people would write it because horoscopes and glazing get views.

"One minute he’s romantic, the next he gets clingy..."

These go together. They're not opposites. They're related

"You can be an alpha male with some omega male characteristics too."

These are opposites. Alphas are social and outgoing. Omegas are antisocial and withdrawn.

"If you are... a gamma male, you are... reserved..."

Still batting zero. A reserved man tends to keep his mouth closed.

Just about everything she's written is incorrect.

His bravery extends inward?

She's not wrong on this one, albeit unintentionally, and hilariously. For the gamma keeps fighting himself: lying to himself, the gamma illusion bubble. Unfortunately for him (ad his environment), the wrong side almost always wins that internal ego battle.

Do you think I am Alpha today?

A Sigma, even Delta, would you say?

I'm a man with no convictions

I can be any one of those

Throw in Lambda for free, and you have a Gavin Mac Innes!

That reads like an astrological description and not anything in the SSH.

Let me show you how intelligent I am by looking at all possible angles and being inclusive (missing the forest for the trees); thereby, making standards and definitions worthless.

Euhammizh's avatar

This definition is so perfectly wrong it's impressive.

"You can be an alpha male with some omega male characteristics too"

Ah, one of those "the answer is always Jesus" ladies.

I used to explain things but then I had two epiphanies: no one cares, and neither do I.
