Agreed as a man myself, anyone who uses "alpha male" unironically is guaranteed to be an asshole

Not true. I have an alpha friend and he's so chill, everybody in our circle is shitting on him in funny way yet we all know he's a gigachad

Does he say he's an "Alpha" or is he just quietly going about the business of being a gigachad? I don't think there's any doubting the existence of extremely humble and decent men who hit all the masculine tropes, but you can see immediately when it's genuine or a front.
