The underline issue is that human evolve to be part of social norms. Use to be a tribe, a country, a sport club. But new generation can be have more options. Associating with alpha male or whatever means he belong to a group who might like his meme or comments.

It could also be due to lack of a man figure they can associate with. So watching documentaries of strong males might help shed light on what the role could look like.

What you want is to balance his only identity or group with other (groups). For example, joining a gym, fishing, be part of musical band …. Whatever he is also into, just to get him out of that only identity he is associating with.

For me I would try to come from telling him being alpha means you can hunt or camp or survive in the wild, then lead to cooking classes or wood working. Something that mentally and physically taxing. I also would watch gordon Ramsay shows and Anthony Bourdain just to crash that image of one way to be an alpha male. You can cook and be an alpha male as the same time type thing.

This comment section is either full of top notch satirists or the worst fucking people on Lemmy. I honestly can’t tell.

He’s watching toxic YouTubers like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate.

Tell him calling himself an alpha is just what a beta would do. Real alphas don’t say shit about themselves, they have people who do that for them. Watch him implode.

If you’re really asking what it means, an Alpha is a strong leader. They don’t take commands, they give them. If they want something, they take it. They consider themselves superior to the weaker beta males, and feel that it is their duty to lead the betas, or that they are doing them a favor by pushing them to be more like an alpha.

Although, a lot of the time, the people who claim to be alphas have none of the redeeming characteristics, so they just act like entitled assholes.

It’s a furry thing

He wants girls to think he is cool but has received bad advice

kick him in the ribs, become the true alpha

this is great lmao what a prick

Kick him in the nuts so hard you remove him from the gene pool permanently.

Ask him if being an alpha male is a furry thing

Andrew Tate and his cum dungeon brother are a big reason for this.

I say this as a younger brother who was beat up by older siblings. If you are both under 18 and he’s a lot smaller than you, slap him. If he thinks he’s an “alpha” and you aren’t, it might be the only thing that points out that he is just human

After you do this, please please please try to point out his error in thinking. No “alpha” commands any respect and the “alpha” bosses are the ones nobody wants to work for

How old is your brother? If he is an early teenager, it is possible that he picked these concepts up from somewhere and will very likely grow out of that thinking all by himself.

Just beat his ass lol
