Are Chavs Apla Males?

**NOTE** Please can someone correct the spelling mistake in the title?

Hey everyone :smile:

.

There seems to a bit a facination with alpha males recently, which I've been thinking about. My idea of an alpha male is a man who is dominant, and if you question his authority he will beat the hell out of you, like gorillas or chavs. You have to admit that chavs are highly masculine, highly dominant and (in a lot of cases) highly violent.

Are chavs alpha males?

Thanks for your time,

Mike :smile:

Loool!!!! Erm... really?

So they are really manly because the only time they will pick on someone is when they are in a massive group. I think not.

Catch a lone chav and they will probably be scared ****less!

doesn't being an alpha male include other perspectives too? For instance: intelligence, eloquency ...

I don't think 'alpha male' is a good thing...
Violence and insolence and stupidity is not a good thing either.

You seem to be talking about them more in terms of physical prowess. That concept might work with certain species, but with humans there's a bit more to it. A chimp might gain alpha male status by being bigger, stronger and more vicious than the other male chimps, but human males tend to do it by other means. Think about prominent men in our society. Is Tony Blair a hulking behemoth of a man, ready to rip his opponents into tiny pieces with his bare hands? No. Physically he's a puny little man. But brute strangth is not what he needs- instead it is his political and oratory skills have made him one of the most powerful people in the world.

If you define 'alpha- male' by the ability to attract a mate, again, it doesn't just come down to physical prowess or viciousness, although it can do. It can also come down to intelligence, creatvity, etc. There's an almost infinite number of things women are attracted to in men. The traditional one evolutionary psychologists point out is resources, so as to secure a safe environment for herself and her children. Is Wayne, who lives on a council estate, survives on the dole, drinks himself into oblivion every night and gets into fights and torches vehicles for laughs, the sort of man who is a safe bet, or has any resources? No. He's a witless, pathetic, repugnant sort of a man, with the IQ of a boiled potato. His staple diet of turkey twizzlers and 40 Lambert and Butlers a day make him fall somewhat short of a strong physical specimen too.

So to summarise, chavs are in no way alpha males. Taking society as a whole, they are the complete opposite, at the bottom of the heap. It is only within their own microcosms, the boundaries of which are the end of their street and the local pub, that they are anywhere approaching alpha male, and even then only over a certain few individuals, such as the unfortuante wife and children whom he beats into submission and are too scared to leave him, or the even more witless male morons who hang around with him in a pack as his subordinate.

P.S. In no way am I saying that all who live on a council estate live and act like this. I refer only to the tiny minority of pillocks who make others' lives a misery.

The only thing chavs can be classed as are a waste of oxygen.

Chavs are not Alpha males, just weak yobs.
