I have a theory that all males can be classified into alpha, beta, and omega males. However, I think that humans have evolved enough to know which "role to play" in any given context. A naturally alpha male will leave his "alphaness" at home. At work, he will only display his "alphaness" at times it is appropriate. He will also display "betaness" and "omeganess" when it is needed. He does this because he knows it is to his advantage to play the role that will get him the most "resources" and he is smart enough to know that being alpha all the time will not get him the resources he needs.
However, I think every man has a natural tendency to tend towards one. A naturally "alpha" male will always have "alpha" tendencies, even if he is hiding them/unaware of what he is doing. It's his "default setting" if you will...
In addition, I think all men have a secondary role that they are willing to play, but aren't naturally good at. It's a learned role, it doesn't come naturally, but they can and will play the role adequately if called upon to do so. He can learn this role well enough to fool most people...
And finally, every man has the role that they absolutely cant stand playing. If called upon to do so, they will quickly find an excuse to not play it at all..or change their role entirely. If he is forced to play the role, he will play the role to the best of his abilities, but he will be limited in how successful he is in that role..and he himself knows this.
My theory is this..all human males have the ability to be alpha, beta and omega. They play these roles out subconsciously in order to get the resources they need. Humans have evolved enough to know that being alpha doesn't always get you where you want to be. The most successful of men aren't alphas, but men who realize what role they need to play in any given context.
I just had a thought..but I really should be studying so I'm just going to throw it out there...
Religion is a subconscious reflection of this. God (alpha)...followers (betas)..and the non believers (omegas). This pattern of three is everywhere by the way...
Thoughts?
