'Machismo' is a load of bollocks to you. To me, machismo is machismo...it's a exaggeration of most masculinity....some have a lot of it, some a little, which I find a positive, some pretend they have it and some don't, some dislike it, some hate it......Masculinity is much more than an alpha male stereotype....machismo is an exaggerated form most of the time. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Dec 2017 2.52pm) Alpha males are pretty much boorish, bullyish, arrogant who are typically self obsessed and vain - I certainly wouldn't want to be one of those. I was kind of brought up to see that as something not to aspire to being. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

A trait more common in males. - An inflated sense of their own importance - A deep need for excessive attention and admiration - A lack of empathy for others.

My dad was in his earlier years a Scottish Military Policeman but as nice as pie really. I'm rather glad he wasn't the bullsh1t insecure faux macho type with its occasional lineage to closeted latent homosexuality. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

The funny think is you still see the most ardent feminists falling for the alpha male. Edited by johnfirewall (08 Dec 2017 9.40pm)
