I definitely got about 8 B’s. What’s so nauseatingly stupid about this is the blatant western macho stereotype that is so shallow and a complete false representation of the male gender. We are talking about 1% of men who would honestly answer this survey with all “A’s”.

Sure, men (especially Trump and his supporters) would like to think they would answer with all A’s, but they are lying to themselves. They are just conditioned by society to be expected to be all A’s. The truth of the matter is that every man feels insecure from time to time. How often they feel insecure is the better question when it comes to their stability as a person. I get insecure sometimes. I’m not ashamed to admit it. The OP and DarkFury know they get insecure at least every once in awhile. That’s part of being human. Guys just like to put up a front on how macho they are and it’s so stupid. Take Trump for example, on the surface, he wants to come across tough, brilliant, and assertive, but he so obviously isn’t lol. His actual behavior shows he is deeply insecure ALL of the time. He just tries desperately to hide it. I mean my god, he has fake hair and a tan. Why doesn’t he just accept the aging process like a real man?

I also want to point out that some of these questions involve career choices that only a tiny minority of men go after. That alone invalidates this retarded survey.

Are You an Alpha or a Beta Male? Take Our 20-Question Quiz and Find Out

I had 4 'B' answers. 4, 12, 16, and 19.

But I see problems with more than half of the questions.

#5 - Being comfortable handling a gun is not about being Alpha or Beta. It is mostly about whether you grew up around them. Someone who never was around guns growing up will likely not be comfortable with them. That is not Beta. That is circumstance.

#6 - How others see me is of no concern to me. In fact, I taught my sons that what people think of them is not even any of their business. A true Alpha is who he is, regardless of the opinions of others.

#9 - This is more about being an Extrovert versus and Introvert. Most evidence points to that being genetic or innate. Fear of public speaking is the number one fear in this country.

#11 - Being 6 feet tall is strictly genetic.

#12 - Being described as sweet, polite, or a good friend is simply a matter of having manners and not seeing every woman as someone to fuck. Being Alpha is not about being an asshole, it is about being a leader. They are not the same thing.

#14 - Again, this is about being an Extrovert v. an Introvert.

#15 - Needing to be the center of attention is often from being insecure. You need the attention and you need to prove something.

#17 - Being comfortable with conflict is meaningless. A good leader is adept at removing conflict, not inciting it.

#18 - Being able to fight has a little bearing, but not much. In todays world, intellect and drive do far more to put you at the top than being able to fight. And being at the top, making critical decisions for your family of "tribe" is far more important than beating someone up to "prove" you are a man.

#19 - This goes back to the old bullshit that a "real man" doesn't have emotions. If you don't see woman as equal and valid people, you are not an Alpha. You are an insecure male. If you cannot show the people you love that you love them, you are scared of what others think and are trying to prove something. Being sensitive is not being weak.

#20 - This is laughable. In the south the women take over arranging funerals. I know many women who can handle a gun and take care of an intruder. In fact, few things in nature are more dangerous than a female animal defending her young. Being able to "handle it" is simply about personal responsibility.
