Try

"Why should you not have to try?"

If I don't have to, why should I be made to?

Hym "Imagine I toss a coin 10 times. At a whim. All 10 times the coin toss comes up heads. You (on the other hand) toss a coin 10 times and try to get it to come up heads 10 times in a row. It doesn't. The first toss comes up tails. How does the fact that you "tried" effect anything? What you're doing now is no different than saying that because I wasn't TRYING to get 10 heads in a row the fact that I DID get 10 heads in a row has somewho been invalidated. Which is preposterous."

We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!

How a group of people grumbles regarding a supervisor, mayor, journalist, historian, or other influential mucky-muck who publishes a less-than-favorable report about said body of citizenry.

Teenage parishioners, in a letter of protest to their local abstinence-and-chastity-ranting minister who'd recently written an article admitting to having "gotten some" from one or more females other than his wife: How can you expect us to ignore our basic urges and desires when YOU YOURSELF won't even exert yourself adequately?! We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!

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.

"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"
