What I got from that was that Bill O’Reilly was an Alpha Male…
Bill O’Reilly is a douchebag, I think theres a difference.

No reason an Alpha Male cannot be a douche bag.
But being a douchebag is about all that O’Reilly does and I dont think thats enough to qualify. How manly do you have to be to yell the same statement over and over at your guests until they get frustrated and leave, and then declare victory over them?

Whether you like him or not his show is very popular and powerful. He has a number of people that look up to him and some that even depend on him for their livelihood. While I do not know anything about hs personal life he seems an Alpha Male to me.
The article tried to claim Clinton was not an Alpha Male which is kind of silly. The man was the leader of the free world. At the time he was the alpha Alpha Male in spite of Hillary.
The world (including Hollywood) is loaded with alpha males. Although I cannot stand them George Clooney and Leo DiCaprio are alpha males. The do what they want, get a lot of pussy and lead their own posses.
I am sure with any thought I could come up with quite a few more.
Being an Alpha Male has nothing to do with being a decent human being it is simply a leadership role.

Looks like Hollywood is trying to eliminate manly men from life.

I’m guessing the author’s selective memory is working overdrive. She must not have seen 300 or noticed the alphaness James Bond and Batman have picked back up.

Since when does Hollywood dictate anything? Aren’t movie revenues down consecutively for the last two decades? Probably due to boxing, poker, MMA, and porn revenues increasing for the last two.[/quote]
Whats crazy is the new Bond has been critized for being to big!!!
I have all but stopped watching movies because they quit making good ones. 15 Years ago there were movies that came out that you could not miss. I have camped out in line for movies. When T2 came out everybody i knew saw it at the theater.

We should all bow to the new beta females too, them paris hiltons and uber thin models…
over the years, it seems the ideal female beauty has increasingly gone impossibly thinner, which correlates (may not cause) to so many girls (and some guys) to develop eating disorders.
marylin monroe was a hottie in her era, but a girl her size now wouldn’t even be invited to auditions for high end designers.

I think the “Hilton as an ideal” is a little misguided. Just because somebody is in the limelight doesn’t mean they are an ideal.
She gets attention for being a naughty/dingbat girl. Some guys thinks she’s hot. That doesn’t mean the majority of girls aspire to her physique.
If ultra thin girls were THE thing, then Beyonce, Shakira, Jessica Biel, Hallie Berry, would not be constantly talked about for their beutiful, curvacious bodies.
Most girls I know, my wife included would, would LOVE to have ass like they do.
The reason, IMO, ultra thin girls are used in the fashion industry:
- less material for the clothing
- any of the models can wear any of the designs
(no boobs or ass to custome fit a model for)

I also made here watch both Conan movies when we got married 2 years ago.[/quote]
Both? There is only one Conan movie.
Conan: The Barbarian
Conan: The Destroyer
both of which are awesome…as soon as i find a copy of both goin to make my gf watch them
That second one sucks so much ass…even worse than those goddamn Highlander sequels.
There is only one Conan Movie.
Finally had a chance to read the article. Not only is it drivel, but it is also a blatant advertisement for that “Knocked Up” movie. How much you want to bet Newsweek is owned by the same conglomerate that is distributing that piece of shit?
it’s merely feminist horseshit. note how ‘alpha’ men, those with ambition, drive, and courage are denounced as being ‘emotionless’ and therefore bad, but women who show those same traits are considered heroes.
also note how it was written by woman.
what i find even more disgusting is how accepting being second best is ok. when did being lazy and incompetent become the norm?
