Men that, because of societal, parental, and/or environmental pressure to make part of the stereotypical hyper-masculine men in their childhoods, often needs to mock other people down to inflate their ego and hide their insecurities, fearing judgmental looks from society for not being “masculine enough”.

Their targets are mostly men that do not fit in the stereotype, such as soy boys, male feminists, betas, nerds, ETC. Making disrespectful commentaries about their life, and how they're not “manly” enough. While also constantly picks up unnecessary and meaningless fights with others that can easily be solved with dialog.

They're also extremely defensive by the simplest of jokes about them, such as a friend ironically calling them gay, or saying no homo next to him. While often consider themselves as “conservatives” or “alt-right”, which contributes to the stereotype that makes the entire movement look bad.

They can often be seen sharing posts about what a “true men” really is and sometimes say heavy sexist things about women.

Get the Try-hard Alpha Wannabe mug.
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.
