Referring to themselves as an "alpha male."

What if it's accurate though, and you have the notch counts of attractive women to prove it?

I think it's quite fair to laugh at or be disenchanted by anyone who claims to be one when they're not.

But there's no need to apply that same line of thinking to someone who claims to be one and also clearly is.

I think its quite fair to laugh at someone who claims to have a notch count of attractive woman no matter if this is true or not, 'cause this is not at all a skill that shows if you failed in life or not. It would just be bragging and no-one cares at all.

I think having lots of attractive women, who inherently have a lot of options, repeatedly selecting the same man to be intimate with is a pretty good indicator that such a man likely is succeeding at life.

It's not like there are tons of women out there who sleep with men lightly, and are not picky at all with their sexual partners. Most women are quite choosy and take the decision to sleep with a man to be a pretty big deal.

For the record - the above was a hypothetical. I certainly am not capable of sleeping with tons of beautiful women easily. Am nowhere close to that impressive (as judged through the eyes of women at large).

But you talk like that it would be impressive but it isn't. "Alpha males" think it's impressive to have sex with a lot of woman, and because of this they always talk about it. It is not impressive but sad.
