    The straightest thing you can do is try to kill yourself as quickly and as indirectly as possible. You should be eating like you’re trying to spite god

    I fucking hate that "alpha" and "beta" aren't even real, the paper was retracted, and yet this lie will live FOR FUCKING EVER

      I feel like that just makes it better. Their entire world view of nihilistic zero-sum dominance is based on the behavior of wild animals in prison.

      And when you put those wild animals back outside the "Alphas" turn out to just be parents who diligently teach, support, and defend their kids while being respectful of the territory of others and cooperating closely with they family and friends.

        David Harvey points out that even the Darwinian theory of evolution and the focus on competition and natural selection - while not wrong - likely overemphasizes that bit as Darwin himself was a part of British industrial capitalism of his time. Base informs the superstructure and all that. There were evolutionary scientists after Darwin who weren't from such an aggressively capitalist societies who focused more on how cooperation can drive evolution as well.

    The Alpha Male concept feels like surrogate parental figures doing the "They're just jealous" bit, but have to try real hard to come up with something

    "There there, that's alright hun, they're all just jealous of your... ... ..."

    "My Alpha dog status"

    "That's right, they all just wish they were as Alpo dog as you"

      So that’s why pizza parlors put Alpo on pizza and call it “sausage”.

    Imagine wanting to hang out with your wife, the woman you love and have chosen to spend the rest of your life with, couldn't be me. I'm too alpha.

    I'd rather spend my time eating bad wings, drinking light beer, and ogling young women that probably hate my guts.

      How can we really judge his alpha-ness without knowing which direction he is leaning and the facing of his penis to the camera?

        mainly because they don't know how to process the fact their marriage is falling apart because they refuse to spend time with their wives and instead go to hooters with their friends

      How can we really know if he's an alpha without his colonoscopy results to verify how much cancer is in there.

        Colonoscopys are beta af.

    Does anyone actually like Hooters anymore? Literally Femboy Hooters would have a wider audience. The Deviantart girl population can’t be ignored.

      In my experience, the men I know think Hooters is cringe, but the women I know like it. Whether they're straight or not.

        A business that exclusively hires women waitresses becoming a kind of safe space for women as a consequence.

        Ironic.

      Seriously if you're over like 30 a night of hot wings and beer just means you're sleeping on the couch and having the shits the next day.

    Hooters has trash wings and no amount women would make me eat them. Plus I’d rather spend time with my girlfriend.

      The one time I went to Hooters, the food was awful. You can get better wings in the frozen section of your local supermarket. And it was hands-down the loudest restaurant I've ever been in. I've had easier conversations in dance clubs. All other chain sit-down places are far more pleasant in atmosphere and food. The only attraction is oggling at the women I suppose, and that's just not what I'm looking for in a meal experience.
