Patrick Bateman Wannabe

Pretty much every pretentious alpha male who has worked for one of the big four banks in NZ. Typically possesses a hugely inflated sense of self with little time or patience for anyone that doesn't fit the mold of white, financially thriving, photogenic or doesn't look like they belong at the Boxing Day races or America's Cup shenanigans. Most likely has a massive mortgage for some dodgy semi-renovated villa in Ponsonby or Grey Lynn, just because those suburbs are designed to accommodate people who are 'cultured'. The PB Wannabe are only into women who wear one of those tacky gold Cartier bangles that you can't get off without a key and considers Jane Birkin to be their 'muse'.

Try-hard Alpha wannabe

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.
