The Alpha Male

"The Alpha male - I use this phrase a lot... Here is quick run down of what it means to me. If you watch animal shows on PBS or Discovery Channel, many species have a dominant male who has sex with all the females in the group, while the other males get none while waiting for him to die or until they are tough enough to kick his ass and become the alpha male themselves. Many males never get to be an alpha male (never get laid)."

  "This is Maniac High's website. Maniac lives in Tokyo,

Japan and likes to pick up chicks. This site is
devoted to that endeavor. If you are a "nice guy",
and have not been successful with women up to now,
then prepare to be awakened, as the solutions await
you in these pages!"
    
            After a pretty traumatic night with a certain asshole, I was left to only contemplate the current social conduct that people my age think is acceptable, and where this assumption that it is in fact appropriate, comes from. Beliefs such as the quotes above are what I find are common amongst the males of my generation. 


      What my current observation of men is that they are driven by sex (this may not seem like a surprise to anyone, or something new). Whats different and recent is that while in the past it was a process; men would realize that there needs to be some effort made in order to  get a girl into bed, such as buying drinks and taking a girl on dates. Today I find, men believe that they are entitled to sex without effort. They expect to invite a girl over to"watch a movie", not even pick her up or go to see her, or go pick out the movie together. Then while watching the movie make a move and end up having sex. Its like ordering takeout and not having to pay or even tip the delivery boy. But this expectation is ridiculous, when you have a girl come over and she just want to watch a movie, then when she doesn't want to have sex during the middle of a movie on the first night hanging out with you, YOU get pissed, as if she is in the wrong and threaten to call the cops if she doesn't leave your house?! Really are you that delusional? 

        Also, whats the deal with dirty pictures over the phone. That's something I would do only to someone I really trust; when I've been in the relationship with a person for a while. Whats with this new expectation that this is something I would be OK doing if we just began talking, or seeing one another, Or we are just friends. Its called porn, look it up; porn stars will be out of jobs the day girls willingly give guys dirty pics through MMS picture messaging.  Pay for a subscription and maybe! ugh! Don't call them a fucking bitch and waste of time when they refuse to send you a picture. 

    We wonder why women these days have self confidence issues. It may be because they are being smart and saying no to horny pig and in doing so being emotionally and verbally abused. Just recently these separate occasions have hurt me and really scarred me emotionally. 

Why do men this that it's OK to treat us like this? Where do they get the idea that they are entitled to sexual favors?  Are their parents teaching them the correct way to be a decent human being?

ALSO, those girls that are giving in, or even enabling this behavior, please think about what you're doing. Its about respect and these men who this it's ok to treat women this way aren't respecting you when they take advantage of you. 


I know that what i've just written are very bias and one sided generalizations, but it has really effected me and Im trying to analyze this more common than should be occurance. 


There is no one that it really helping the matter, media, schools, friends, peers, parents. why not?

  1. i dont want this to come off the wrong way at all, but maybe it has to do with the type of guy that you date. Now i know that comes off kind of assholeish but its just a possability.

    anyway, chin up...you always feel better in the mornin

  2. Although Elliot might have a point in all of this, that point is surely deeply buried along with a whole lot of other valid points within the pervasive and seriously worsening decline of our cultural standards. We are becoming way too 'me' oriented, there are increasing numbers of child-parents, indulgence is mistaken for love, helicopter parents abound, teachers have been relegated to being responsible for raising children in their classrooms yet without any authority to enforce adherence to behavioral standards. Political correctness is given lip service and anything goes in the name of freedom of speech and 'our individual rights.'
    On a personal level, you must maintain your own standards and wear your expectations of others on your sleeve. Although things in general are deteriorating around us, there are still honorable, respectful individuals out there and you will find them if you remain one too.
    Best wishes.

  3. This post had nothing to do with the guys that i have dated. because i haven't dated anyone in a few years. even though i put myself out there as available, i do keep my guard up. I have also considered my friends situations in this post and also research i have done for my thesis in college. its about "raunch culture" in a book called female chauvinist pigs and the development of playboy and girls gone wild. this wasnt a very well written blog post. it was mainly to give a short blurb about how i feel and hope to provoke thought about this topic among others. which i think was successful due to Lew's post. which i very much agree with. There are guys out there that i have met who have not evoked this current entitlement trend. yet, they have their own things they feel entitled to. its not just sex. it is a very "me" and "now" culture we live in, and we can only theorize the reasons why our generation feels this way. i.e.) fast food, atms, credit cards, cell phones, lap tops, the internet, etc....
    so thankyou for your concern and i will take that into account, although i urge you to dig deeper and maybe ask yourself what you feel you're entitled to when considering your expectations of the opposite sex or just interactions with people in general. consider yourself, your friends and also your past relationships.
    and dont worry ill be sure to post the day i find that guy who doesn't feel entitled to something with selfish motives.
