An unconfident male who wants to be seen to be an Alpha male but lacks the qualities of a true Alpha. They act out traits they believe an alpha would do, but lack insight, for instance an Alpha would never call themselves one or behave in the way a wannabe alpha would. They are Toxic males that are lacking in any class. Real Alphas are usually successful and have high paying jobs, natural leaders and command respect, but have personal insight. The biggest difference is a man with genuine alpha traits respects other people's personal boundaries. A rum wannabe doesn't know where they end and the other person begins. Wannabes are usually low down in the working class demographic and think being a Man is about simply competing with other males for societal hierarchy which results in annoying the sh*t out of their peers. Alphas can be likeable, wannabes are never liked by anybody and have few if any real friends. Wannabes are tormented souls who need pity not respect.
"Tim is such a Try-hard alpha wannabe, he's throwing his toys out because I could bench press more than him, now he's not speaking to me"

Someone who tries to be a player but fails horribly. Feeds the same bullshit to the same people, and they put 2 and 2 together. Full of lies and creates a whole fake persona depending on the person with them knowing what they’re really like.

A total douche who believes that they are country, redneck, hick, or a cowboy even though their background shows the opposite.
"Did you see Timothy today? He started wearing a cowboy hat and boots with a fat belt buckle. He's turning into a real Yee Yee Wannabe."

One who centers their personality around wrecking a relationship when really, she did nothing of the sort but wants to make herself feel powerful.
Person 1: Homewrecker x2
Everyone else: Where's these second homewrecker? All I see is a wannabe homewrecker.

This is usually a group of bored teens, who live in a small town, city or village, that idolize bigger city gangs, as seen on TV or movies. They crave acceptance, attention & usually don't have any positive role-models in their lives. Originated in Sandusky, Ohio, due to the local teens' obsession with big city gangs.
