Success is - having got through life without hurting or exploiting others, to have been honest, trustworthy and reliable and always shown humanity and conscience. That's what I call success. Sadly, sucess tends to be measured in terms of money and status. The people who are of most use to society are often those on lower incomes.
In my experience, any dude who goes around puffing their chest out, being the loudest in the room talking about how smart/ "alpha" they are... are not actually "alphas"
I read a bit of the alpha and beta in the psychology, and it's also have gammas and delta. If you gonna talk about it use the term alpha and beta traits it's more apropriate. Should also mention sigma traits the more individual person that mostly goes his own way.
that's true. but alpha DOES exist. we all know all too many men who are pussy whipped by their wives. There's a word for that - it's BETA. The opposite is alpha.
Women, it is not for you to decide! You decide, who you procreate with. That may or may not correlate to "alphaness". But that concept of "alpha, beta, etc." is, how MEN structure their hierarchies. And yes, these hierarchies exist and they are WAY MORE complex than in nature. So there is no typical "alpha", there are roles in hierarchies, often overlapping.

One night I was driving my 17 year old son home from work, and somehow the discussion turned to the subject of manhood and 'what it means to be a real man.' I told him that it may be that the measure of a 'real man' is a man who does NOT let any other man (or woman) tell him what it means to be a 'real man.' We all have to define it for ourselves. To me, that is the mark of true manhood.

When I was in the military we had these silly little boys; we called them posers. They would spend all their time and money on the external and superficial trappings while ignoring just growing up. Most of them would quit under pressure or hardship, they were all show.
When we were hiking near Aktse, a dad, two boys (11 and 13) and me (a mum), we met two real Alpha-uncles, hiking, too, and at a mountain-top with splendid view over Sarek, they approached, provided a little speech of apprecation for the stamina of the boys, and presented them with each a small chocolate-bar, which the uncles had carried and saved for miles and miles, days and days. We'd never met them before or after, they walked southwards and we northwards. These gifts were very precious, and made the boys very proud. A brief surprising encounter, truly unforgettable, a memory to enjoy still now when they have kids of their own. Hope this can inspire some adult men to casually say an encouraging word to kids, no strings attached, as even a acknowledging nod can mean so much! Be brave and show that you see them, and wish them well.
A little off topic but I’m wondering if I’m the only man who notices this. I am backpacking on the Appalachian Trail today and I kept running into groups of loud women. I could hear them from a mile away. They day hike in big packs and never shut up, screaming to each other at the top of their lungs. There was zero chance of seeing any wildlife because the deer and bears and bobcats are all scared away by these loud women.
I'm a woman and have been a little girl, and every time I've been afraid, alone, about wild animals in the dark, all my life I have been singing loudly, preferably gospel songs and hymns, and it does keep the beasts away! 🙂 Maybe these women were afraid or they were just Americans? A tip: hike a few nights further away from camps. Welcome to Sarek in Sweden, btw, preferably wandering with a buddy (recommended for security, no internet connection)! 🙂 But perhaps Alaska does it as well?
Were you armed? Did you WANT to encounter a bear? We used to have a 50 acre forest in northern PA, and I would take our young children for walks in there but over the years as we encountered more and more armed men trespassing and very quietly hiding in our trees, the nature walks lost their appeal. You complained so I complained for the sake of balance.

The lack of positive masculinity left a void which some of these people you mentioned are trying to fill. Grifting? Maybe, but there is some truth to what they are saying.
“In reading The History of Nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.” ― Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
My husband of 54 years is my hero. He is the kindest man and a wonderful example to our children of what a real man is and how he lives his life. We married at 18 and 19, maturing together has seen us through tough times and great times. Looking forward to many more.
The term "alpha male" is problematic because it promotes toxic masculinity, valuing dominance over empathy and emotional intelligence. Real masculinity is about strength, leadership, and providing for others, while also embracing healthy confidence, kindness, and respect. True masculinity values women as equals, supporting and uplifting them with compassion, emotional awareness, and accountability, rather than seeking control.
Nope. It doesn't promote 'toxic' masculinity, etc. the things you say. Then you explain what masculinity is in your FEMALE view, also wrong. Only other men are able to understand what masculinity is.
You're ok with men telling you what it means to be a woman I assume, rather than seeking control, right? Just making sure toxic femininity isn't asserting itself. Equality and all that.
@@Billy-the-Kid In my opinion, masculinity isn’t exclusive to men’s interpretation, just like femininity isn’t exclusive to women. Strength, leadership, and accountability aren’t gendered traits. Dismissing my view because I’m a woman only reinforces the issue of limiting masculinity to outdated ideas. True masculinity is also about embracing qualities like empathy, confidence, and respect, regardless of who’s defining them.
That’s it…taking care of your family. It’s the be all end all. When the woman knows she & the children are being taken care of, she will naturally do all she can to make their lives the best possible. Sounds old fashioned but it’s true…in my world anyway ☺️
@@general_enslaver_of_cactii867 Doesnt matter what flies with them, they dont make the rules, nature does, and nature made them weak and stupid enough to fall for the whole 'alpha' thing
In the animal kingdom, the one in the back is the one that gets attacked, killed and eaten by a rival group. This is true for Chimps to Lions to Wildebeest. You don't ever want to be in the back or just a tad bit slower than the rest. He gets left behind. Perhaps the biggest difference between animals and humans? That dependability, compassion and loyalty you're describing very often (or always?) doesn't exist in nature. There's only the group. And if you are behind, you're f*cked.
It's sad that people buy into the alpha male, alpha female and high value male/ female. These influencers are just trying to make money. Every man and woman has value and hopefully we are all working on ourselves, and growing in our moral character and integrity. We can't be perfect, but hopefully we are at least trying to improve ourselves over our lifetime.
Thanks, Bjorn, for addressing this issue. I think you are absolutely correct about this. Maybe it's time for fathers to take care of their sons and teach them how to be a man, not some random youtubers selling them courses.
I have come to the conclusion that most people are full of shit. Since the dawn of social media the younger generations make a big deal over the most senseless crap imaginable, things that just create a lot of division and unnecessary apprehension.
In this age of hostility toward men and the mass failure of men in western society (roughly only 1/3 off college graduates), I can’t condemn the alpha male movement. Young men want to find their authentic selves in a society that condemns masculinity. I think messages that reinforce robust masculinity and allows men to be men has a lot of positive to it. I’m no Tate acolyte, but when feminists say men will improve if they are more feminine and Tate advises that the solution to much of the male crisis is cultivating masculine excellence, I’ll take Tate every time, though acknowledging his next sentence will probably be something ludicrous.
As with all information and advice for men, proceed with caution, intake the information from many different sources combine it with your experience, use your head don't just follow the crowd.
I check out time channel all the time Bjorn ,l don't leave messages very often,l do resonate with pretty much most of what your words convey,and your refreshing journey in life gratitude for sharing your thoughts🙏❤❤❤
Honestly most women today aren't worth wanting. Being positive and leading a healthy life is what matters. A feeling of want/lust usually is tied to something else that is lacking in your life - find peace in yourself and these desires will fade away.
Bro, "They are presenting an image of masculinity as that of a ten year old boy" is easily the best description of this stuff that I've ever heard. That's so spot on.
The Alpha male (dominate male) does exist. It is real. You are correct in dismantling the false image that is out there now. An Alpha is actually humble, wise, trusting, and will be a capable leader. Andrew Tate is a master manipulator, not an Alpha. A true Alpha does not need to manipulate… he doesn’t have to. A true Alpha, is honorable in every way and will treat even the weak, with respect.
If we have to assign these hierarchical roles, I'd say the "alpha" is the man with natural charisma and charm, he doesn't need to flaunt his materialistic value to attract people. These "alpha" influencers are nothing but wolves manipulating the weak-minded sheep to spread their toxic mindset. Unfortunately, my generation is full of people who are way too easy to manipulate.
A trusted mentor I had growing up told me once beware of anyone who claims he's got the answers to your problems and has a book to sell you telling how to fix your life.
Alpha courses... Now this is what I consider alpha type classes: Bushcrafting, 1st aid (or any emergency type training), cooking (not the fancy stuff - there are a lot of things out in the woods that will give some really nice flavours), navigation/orientation and so on
Congratulations on 700k, Bjorn! As crazy as the internet can be, communities like this one remind us that the world can be a lovely wee place. Greetings from a country girl in Canada. I enjoy your vids in nature tremendously!
Thank you for being you and shining light on what's real and true. I've been noticing this ridiculous stuff for years and it's a bit disheartening. I recognized wrong in the feminist movement when I was a young girl. It didnt make sense to me at all. More recently, I thought it was such a blessing for men to be speaking up, unafraid of acknowledging our diffences and how we complement each other. It was sad to find that much of it is all too similar to the feminist movement. Balance of nature will come and I expect the pendulum will settle down while I'm here to see it.
Excellent video. I did a video a few weeks back, ‘The truth about alpha males’. I think the problem is that these people completely misunderstand what an alpha is in nature. I get into the science and biology of the subject.
There is no such thing as an alpha. The fun part is when one such person who sees himself as an alpha meets a psychopath. Usually this happens in corporations. Then the games can begin.
A "real" man doesn't care or even notice what anybody else thinks or says. He just is who he is.
Yes, we do care how we impact others and don't mean to offend or harm but beyond that we are too busy doing things to worry about externalities and cosmetics.
You can make a similar point with "strong women". Real strong women don't need to talk about how strong they are.. They just are. They don't have to say anything.

“In reading The History of Nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.”
― Charles MacKay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
My husband of 54 years is my hero. He is the kindest man and a wonderful example to our children of what a real man is and how he lives his life. We married at 18 and 19, maturing together has seen us through tough times and great times. Looking forward to many more.
The term "alpha male" is problematic because it promotes toxic masculinity, valuing dominance over empathy and emotional intelligence. Real masculinity is about strength, leadership, and providing for others, while also embracing healthy confidence, kindness, and respect. True masculinity values women as equals, supporting and uplifting them with compassion, emotional awareness, and accountability, rather than seeking control.
Nope. It doesn't promote 'toxic' masculinity, etc. the things you say. Then you explain what masculinity is in your FEMALE view, also wrong. Only other men are able to understand what masculinity is.
Well said!
You're ok with men telling you what it means to be a woman I assume, rather than seeking control, right? Just making sure toxic femininity isn't asserting itself. Equality and all that.
@@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen Thank you ♡
@@Billy-the-Kid In my opinion, masculinity isn’t exclusive to men’s interpretation, just like femininity isn’t exclusive to women. Strength, leadership, and accountability aren’t gendered traits. Dismissing my view because I’m a woman only reinforces the issue of limiting masculinity to outdated ideas. True masculinity is also about embracing qualities like empathy, confidence, and respect, regardless of who’s defining them.
Thanks as always for your wise words :-))
Alpha males are like the movie, The Highlander. There can be ONLY one! Haha, Skal!
thank you so much for speaking about this. For people like myself, it is so obvious, but so many people are naive and immature to understand it.
Some of the toughest guys I've known were laid-back and sort of passive, until they were not;.
Correct 👍
The 'alpha' of a wolf pack is just the dad. You wanna be 'alpha' find a wife, have children, and take care of them well.
That’s it…taking care of your family. It’s the be all end all. When the woman knows she & the children are being taken care of, she will naturally do all she can to make their lives the best possible. Sounds old fashioned but it’s true…in my world anyway ☺️
I doubt that would fly with the Alpha community, considering how they view women.
In that scenario the wife is also an Alpha! 😂
@@general_enslaver_of_cactii867 Doesnt matter what flies with them, they dont make the rules, nature does, and nature made them weak and stupid enough to fall for the whole 'alpha' thing

I agree with you 100%. You couldn't have said it any better.
I love watching your videos. It feels like you looked at all the choices in life and chose peace and enlightenment.
I really like this channel.
what peace you have in your voice. congratulations on the 700k
A real Alpha is at the back of the herd, to make sure no one is left behind.
In the animal kingdom, the one in the back is the one that gets attacked, killed and eaten by a rival group. This is true for Chimps to Lions to Wildebeest. You don't ever want to be in the back or just a tad bit slower than the rest. He gets left behind. Perhaps the biggest difference between animals and humans? That dependability, compassion and loyalty you're describing very often (or always?) doesn't exist in nature. There's only the group. And if you are behind, you're f*cked.
Alphas lead from the front toots.
@@tumslucks9781 Who says that the government ^^
This is why sheepherders usually are at the back of the herd.
Like that, nice. Military flavour.🤔
Thanks for your words. It helped me out of a little daily depression about my masculine identity
Life is pain, Bjorn. I find the harder the struggle, the stronger I get, even at 61 years old. Hang in there my friend.
You sound like a true viking.
@@chriskitchen4772 cold weather makes men stronger.
I think it's fascinating that your outdoorsy and manly but also an author and thoughtful man. It shows how complex we all are.
It's sad that people buy into the alpha male, alpha female and high value male/ female. These influencers are just trying to make money. Every man and woman has value and hopefully we are all working on ourselves, and growing in our moral character and integrity. We can't be perfect, but hopefully we are at least trying to improve ourselves over our lifetime.
Congratulations on the 700,000+ subscribers Björn! Well done and keep it up! SKÅL!
Thanks, Bjorn, for addressing this issue. I think you are absolutely correct about this. Maybe it's time for fathers to take care of their sons and teach them how to be a man, not some random youtubers selling them courses.
It's just a natural leader. But modern life is so unatural, we can't tell who they are
I think labels are stupid honestly.
Thank you for having this conversation! I’ve had my run ins with men that claimed to be “alpha”..
I have come to the conclusion that most people are full of shit. Since the dawn of social media the younger generations make a big deal over the most senseless crap imaginable, things that just create a lot of division and unnecessary apprehension.
Be your best self and grow. Simple, ignore all the identifications in life. We are all individuals.
In this age of hostility toward men and the mass failure of men in western society (roughly only 1/3 off college graduates), I can’t condemn the alpha male movement. Young men want to find their authentic selves in a society that condemns masculinity. I think messages that reinforce robust masculinity and allows men to be men has a lot of positive to it.
I’m no Tate acolyte, but when feminists say men will improve if they are more feminine and Tate advises that the solution to much of the male crisis is cultivating masculine excellence, I’ll take Tate every time, though acknowledging his next sentence will probably be something ludicrous.
Thanks for the video. Always love hearing your takes.
As with all information and advice for men, proceed with caution, intake the information from many different sources combine it with your experience, use your head don't just follow the crowd.
Reminds me of the saying...a fool and their money are soon parted!
I check out time channel all the time Bjorn ,l don't leave messages very often,l do resonate with pretty much most of what your words convey,and your refreshing journey in life gratitude for sharing your thoughts🙏❤❤❤
Honestly most women today aren't worth wanting. Being positive and leading a healthy life is what matters. A feeling of want/lust usually is tied to something else that is lacking in your life - find peace in yourself and these desires will fade away.
Bro, "They are presenting an image of masculinity as that of a ten year old boy" is easily the best description of this stuff that I've ever heard. That's so spot on.
The Alpha male (dominate male) does exist. It is real.
You are correct in dismantling the false image that is out there now. An Alpha is actually humble, wise, trusting, and will be a capable leader.
Andrew Tate is a master manipulator, not an Alpha. A true Alpha does not need to manipulate… he doesn’t have to.
A true Alpha, is honorable in every way and will treat even the weak, with respect.
If we have to assign these hierarchical roles, I'd say the "alpha" is the man with natural charisma and charm, he doesn't need to flaunt his materialistic value to attract people. These "alpha" influencers are nothing but wolves manipulating the weak-minded sheep to spread their toxic mindset. Unfortunately, my generation is full of people who are way too easy to manipulate.
The wisdom of truth spoken once again. Thanks Bjorn! Congratulations on the subs, well done.
Bjorn is my idea of an alpha male. Masculine, natural, confident, calm, funny, intelligent, and of course handsome! Checks all my alpha boxes lol!
A trusted mentor I had growing up told me once beware of anyone who claims he's got the answers to your problems and has a book to sell you telling how to fix your life.
Finally someone said what most of us with a brain already knew.
Well done Bjorn. on the subs. You are a sensible voice of reason in a batshit crazy world.
Alpha courses... Now this is what I consider alpha type classes: Bushcrafting, 1st aid (or any emergency type training), cooking (not the fancy stuff - there are a lot of things out in the woods that will give some really nice flavours), navigation/orientation and so on
I absolutely agree!
Congratulations on 700k, Bjorn! As crazy as the internet can be, communities like this one remind us that the world can be a lovely wee place. Greetings from a country girl in Canada. I enjoy your vids in nature tremendously!

Thank you for being you and shining light on what's real and true. I've been noticing this ridiculous stuff for years and it's a bit disheartening. I recognized wrong in the feminist movement when I was a young girl. It didnt make sense to me at all. More recently, I thought it was such a blessing for men to be speaking up, unafraid of acknowledging our diffences and how we complement each other. It was sad to find that much of it is all too similar to the feminist movement.
Balance of nature will come and I expect the pendulum will settle down while I'm here to see it.
So is the number System how people judge each other on looks complete circus it's definitely a dumbing down of people's emotions
Hi Bjorn, 🎉congratulations on your hard work 700K. As well this topic is funny.😊
Excellent video. I did a video a few weeks back, ‘The truth about alpha males’. I think the problem is that these people completely misunderstand what an alpha is in nature. I get into the science and biology of the subject.
You're observations always make me chuckle
Any man who has to say “I am an alpha” is no true alpha.
There is no such thing as an alpha. The fun part is when one such person who sees himself as an alpha meets a psychopath. Usually this happens in corporations. Then the games can begin.
