All kinds of programs for manipulating the human mind vigorously pace the planet, and more and more new terms appear in our everyday life. Bitard, sociophobe, alfach ... Not everyone knows what neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) or peak-up is, but everyone has the words and concepts of these psychological systems.
Alpha Male - A Modern Role Model
One of the popular questions is: “Alfach - who is it?” In fact, what does this word mean, is it a coined term or does it have a scientific basis?
Alfach (or alpha male) is a word that came to us from the biology and life of the animal world. All male animals (males) that coexist in packs are not equal to each other. Some animals - "men" are superior in strength, aggression or severity of primary and secondary sexual characteristics of their own kind. Scientists called the animals, the most aggressive and more than once proving their power and abilities to rivals and other members of the pack, alpha males.
The Greek alphabet is very actively used by researchers to assign names. Its first letter is alpha (α), which is why it is chosen to designate the "most-most" males. Animals that are inferior to alfachs, but still superior to other animals in terms of strength or other characteristics, are called beta males (β). Etc. There are even representatives with the omega (ω) sign - these are the animals most slaughtered in the flock, weak, painful, who get the most tasteless food and, most likely, do not get the females.
Alpha males in the animal kingdom
How does alpha, beta, and other males live? Alfach - who is it? Permanent leader and leader? Or is it possible to move from one “caste” to another? First of all, it is worth noting that, of course, alpha males get the most benefits. These are peculiar leaders who determine the direction of development of the flock. They get the most delicious food, because they decide what they eat. In addition, alpha males themselves choose "ladies" to continue the genus. However, they don’t have to sort out much - the females themselves consider the Alfache as the best fathers for their future offspring.
What are the disadvantages in the life of such representatives of the stronger sex, even the animal world? It is easy to guess that other animals (a little less strong, growing males) mark in place of the leader. Consequently, from time to time, the alpha-fighter takes part in deadly fights for a place with beta males.
This is the answer to the question of whether it is possible for a beta male to become an alpha. It is possible if beta proves alpha-pack and a pack of their superiority in a duel. As for the fate of omega males, it is unenviable. They will never move to the highest category, and this is biologically laid. For some reason, this is a plus - such animals do not participate in fights and can lead a calm, measured life. But animals have different values, one of the main instincts that drive them is the reproductive instinct. Females have the right to choose and do not want to mate with weak or weak animals - again, this is inherent in nature.
Why are some animals born alpha, while others are forced to eke out the existence of omega? Alfach - who is it? Born to be a leader or a lucky man who has been so honored? The word “born” is not quite true; rather, they become one or another in the process of life. All cubs are born basically the same, with the exception of a small number of individuals who are injured at birth. But the further development of young animals goes according to different schemes. Some are active and curious, they always poke a curious nose, find food on time and eat right. These are potential alpha males. Kids are a little less active, but the same fidgets and brawlers can become beta. Omega can be born completely healthy, but lose their legal capacity during adulthood. Another option: a small animal does not receive enough food and grows weak and underdeveloped. Well, how can he fight for a better place in the sun?
But is it really different with us?
Do these relationships remind you of human society? Even without pick-up techniques, there have always been and will be unrecognized (or recognized) leaders, badasses, machos. What is a modern male alpha player? Photos show us pumped up polished handsome men surrounded by women and expensive cars. Many are sure that this is what a real conqueror of female hearts looks like. However, such a template is not an indicator of what the person is this alpha-player: photos mercilessly distort reality. In the human world, where there are no real fights for power, power has long receded into the background, and even more distant plan. Money is much more important; it is for them that one can gain weight in society.
Alfach from the world of people
Modern urban alfach - who is it? This is a person who has the same characteristics that characterize an alpha male in the animal kingdom. That is, the same delicious food, an enviable and revered place in the "flock", the most beautiful "females" who simply hunt for his attention. Who fits this description? Surely not an athlete and not a strong man, but rather a businessman, politician, oligarch ... a powerful man, albeit not in terms of physical strength. Human society has outplayed the laws of evolution and nature, and the weakest weak omega in our country can act as a legal alpha. So the question "what does alfach mean in modern society" does not have a logical answer and is not subject to the law of survival of the fittest.
