It's really funny. Real alpha males don't care if you wear a rainbow or not.
Real alpha males don't exist. The study on wolves having alphas have been proven wrong my most.othet subsequent studies.
Well...
Alpha wolves definitely don't exists, but there is support for "alpha" behaviour in primates, particularly chimpanzees.
"Alpha" is still a stupid and harmful idea, but it's not without precedent.
They also found in other chimpanzees that alphas don't exist. I think we are both in agreement that it's a stupid construct to apply to humans though.
And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.
When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There's a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I've done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson's.
The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people
