*some doofus invents a two-pole axis to try to clumsily describe all people as being similar to one of two equally admirable yet flawed opposites* A Bigger Doofus: "What if there were a THIRD category that had BOTH sets of advantages and NO flaws? For people like ME"

Basically "Alpha male" = "I have friends because I'm good-looking and cool" "Beta male" = "I have friends because I'm a nice person who tries to help people" "Sigma male" = "I do not have friends"
