My Thoughts Will Probably Offend You – Alpha Male Non-Sense

Driven 2 Thrive: Purpose, Growth, and Lasting Impact For Men

About this episode

What is an alpha male? Is it a real thing or is it non-sense and what makes a male “Alpha” This garbage discussion is doing as much to damage men as the “toxic masculinity” bullshit that has been spewed.

I was watching a video recently by one of my favorite YouTubers Michelle McDaniel over on “My Thoughts will Probably Offend You” called “Learning what an Alpha Male is from the "Real Men" of the Internet” and she had some really great points.

I wanted to dig into this a little bit and touch on some of her questions because they deserve some answers, we all do.

There are so many people screaming about "Alpha" male status, but what are they selling and is it legit? Do Alpha males exist? Are there really Alphas, betas, sigmas and whatever other term they are trying to sell?

Is it something you can obtain by listening to someone rant and espouse tales of times gone by when "men were men"; what does that even mean?

My thoughts will probably offend you but We need answers. What are real men. What does it mean to be a real man?

Here is Michelle's video if you want to know what inspired this episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZTzl90OKag&t=54s
