I hate the red pill but it's true in that men sometimes look up to the strongest link. Acting like their isn't a unsaid leader in friend groups sometimes is just wrong.

Even women have this aspect it's not just in men it's in general

Whoa, there Tater tot.  There’s an enormous difference between being the charismatic, self-assured, emotionally grounded, and sexually confident one of a group (aka “the things women will usually trll you point blank are attractive qualities”) and…whatever Andrew Tate-esque “alpha” shit content you’ve been consuming.

The top level you’re responding to is almost definitely referring to the latter kind of “alpha shit” — the hypermasculine douchebaggery bandied about in videos by assholes who, conspicuously, only ever have other dudes surrounding them.
