Quote:Can I see some studies proving that there are alpha men, also? If it is human instinct for men to want sexually pure mates then all human groups would act the same. The Mosu in China live in groups led by a matriach and children are brought up by their uncle because the Western nuclear family led by mom and dad isn't the idealThere are no alphas or betas. It is made up as much as gods are. Using the argument of pseudo-biology is the only think some people can think of, and it isn't enlightening since there are no consistent or reliable studies on sexual dimorphism that prove differences (neurologically, physically and biological) between genders are enough to justify lumping people into categories of "most likely behaviour" ---> Many things that we still think as natural are truly a result of deeply ingrained cultural and social norms. Because of this, the whole "alpha males" and "manly men" arguments are completely destroyed and the appeal to "nature" as well. I'd also like to add that frequent divergences from those supposedly "natural" patterns prove that it isn't as natural as we think it is.
Edit - And this is an example of an idea that comes from religious principles.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
