tl;dr I am sick of insinuations that we must all look & act certain ways to get by.
I don't live in 1955.

I'm not here to give you an argument, I'm here to denounce this inflammatory language wrapped up in sociology. You can challenge a guy's philosophy, but this is pushing it.

You still don't get me.
Google "Omega Male".
Quote:
Omega Male:
The omega male is a man who, defying all male stereotypes, doesn't have the desire to be the most outstanding performer or to take the lead in a particular situation. Typical omega male traits include an intense interest in a particular hobby, which consequently draws his time and energies away from the conventionally 'important' things in life, like work or romantic relationships. The omega male is a fun-loving but non-aspirational individual who is reluctant to 'grow up' by embracing classic social imperatives like marriage, family and holding down a regular job. https://www.macmillandictionary.com/buz ... -male.html

I don't find it helpful to be typecast.

I think uniqueness is an asset. You just have to find the folks who appreciate it

I'm the alpha omega.

I don't know if I'll ever understand the human affinity with labels.

That doesn't make it any more rational to depend on one stereotype or another.

Autist is a label.
I am on the spectrum.
I accept that label. 
I am an Autistic Omega Man.
And I am special.
My mum said so.

Provided this complacency is not on our behalf, OK whatever.

Do men typically scrutinize the moral character of women they sleep with? I think not. If a woman was hot, but had a history of bad behavior, I doubt she'd lack for suitors.
When I was in the military, plenty of guys I knew married dumpster fire women in order to get out of the dorms and receive the raise in their paychecks. Men are just statistically, more likely to be physically violent.
Also, internet dating sites are sh_t. Most women I know IRL don't date violent psychopaths. Maybe place the blame on stupid PEOPLE as opposed to women.

Evolutionary biologists would call "bad boys" hypermasculine, explains Michael R. Cunningham, Ph.D., professor and psychologist at the University of Louisville. “These men ooze testosterone, which leads to boldness and is associated with exaggerated sexuality,” he says. They may also be rebellious or emotionally unavailable, says Madeleine A. Fugère, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Eastern Connecticut State University and author, Social Psychology of Attraction and Romantic Relationships. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/r ... -bad-boys/

Apparently, we want their sperm — but not necessarily their partnership.
Science, in particular evolutionary biology, partially explains why bad boys can be so compelling. Dr. Fugère says research shows women are more attracted to masculine men during the middle of their menstrual cycle, when they’re most fertile. “Men with very masculine traits may have better quality genes, so it could be attractive to women on an unconscious evolutionary level,” she notes. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/r ... -bad-boys/

I don't give a damn about either "evolutionary psychology" pseudoscience, or that bastion of scientific truth "Good Housekeeping."
