International men's day

Apologies, you are of course correct.

I Should have written something more along the lines of... 'Alpha Male attributes/qualities, such as Self Confidence/Reliance, not caring what others think of you (or rather not letting it get to you), being nice to people whiteout motive e.g. expecting them to repay you in kind, Good Physical conditioning.. etc.'
Reddit is leaking again LOL

This is wrong. Alpha males are ones who live their life by way of the sword, dress sharply in a fedora, fingerless gloves and a witty t-shirt. They don't waste time with silly pursuits like physical conditioning, they train their minds by watching youtube videos, reading books my Richard Darkins and ruthlessly destroying people on the internet.

Haha, exactly. ;)

I have never even been to the Reddit Site, sorry to disappoint you.
 
Could you enlighten us on what an alpha Male is, as scientifically it doesn’t seem to exist in our species.

If you’re talking within social heircachies then they come in all variations of physical and physiological qualities that vary around the globe, so labelling someone an alpha male would be rather difficult.

It definitely does. The alpha male is the one that bashes your face in if you mess with them, to let you know not to mess with them :P
 
Alpha male is just a buzz word for high status males.

There have always been high status males. Whether they are tribal chiefs of old, the high school football captain, whatever. It depends on the circles that men exist in. There is usually always a pecking order. Internet losers just insist that they are one of them.
 
Yeah I'm sure it'll get anywhere near the same level of coverage and support that International Women's day gets.

If men don’t organize anything then there’s nothing to report on...

Perhaps you should go out and organise an event that can get media coverage...

National Talk Like A Pirate day is my favourite.

And Pizza day.

International Women's Day... A Day to spread BS like this tripe! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/new...analysis/ar-BBK07SW?li=AA54rU&ocid=spartanntp

I could just imagine the uproar if on International Men's day was full of how men are treated during divorce/child custody procedures. How men are more prone to stress, depression and health problems due to them working longer hours and more overtime than women that often perpetuates myths such as the gender pay gap. How men are equally at risk of domestic violence. How men are often accused of rape and sexual assault with no evidence but will still often have their lives destroyed when the woman lies through her teeth.

Some bitter angry woman posting a similar post on mumsnet isn't really uproar, but if you feel like it is then go for it. ;)

Under this though there really is a growing gender distrust. People at a company I worked at men asked for a chaperone to meetings with women as they we're so afraid of being accused of sexual assault or misconduct. Can't say I blame them either.
 
And Pizza day.
See I could get behind a day like "Pizza day", if they actually did super discounts and promotions on that day.

But it's more like, "Today is national pizza day; go eat a pizza." "What's the special today-only price?" "Same price as every other day." "Oh."

There may not actually be a pizza day, but we had Cornish pasty day the other week. The prices were just normal prices. What's the point in that...

Tangentially related...a genuine Cornish Pasty shop opened by me last summer. I thought they would be on to a winner, Germans love baked goods, and they love meat and potatoes.

Nope :( Shut down six months later, I think I was keeping them going for most of that. Back to schnitzel....

Schnitzel is a pretty acceptable 2nd prize tho... although from my brief time in Austria I was mostly hooked on Käsekrainer...

Nations Pizza day is the 9th February! :p
 
When is it? I can't find anything about it? What with it being international women's day today being all about equality I was hoping to plan some celebrations for men's day.
Pub crawl, curry and some footie.

Am I missing something?

November some time
 
This thread is amazing. OP tries to show his outrage and instead simply displays his ignorance. Then, from over the hill, the cavalry of the love-children of Reddit's TRP and MRA come to the rescue, trying to muster some support and displaying their alpha-male prowess. However, the world looked on and laughed at the pop-psychology that is widely used to sell "Get rich babes fast" books/upvotes and they faltered.

Real men don't need instructions. They don't need affirmation. They are secure.

They certainly don't need to prove their "Alpha" credentials...

I'm fairly sure I didn't understand a word of that :p
