"I'm a lone wolf."
OK, so you're too useless and/or immature to pull your own weight among your group and they kicked you out?

“I’m an Alpha male”
Ah, you’re so stressed, scared and disconnected from your community that you resort to intimidation and violence in some desperate grasp at self respect?
Yes I do, but only at my own expense.
Lone wolves are usually sick or unwell .. and have usually been made to leave the group because they are a threat ... and often are desperate and dangerous because they have to survive on their own which is near impossible and they won't last very long until they can find a group that will accept them.
Also male lions spend an absurd portion of the day sleeping, and leave most of the work for the females
That’s the dream.
Feminism has failed in its goal in making me into a house husband who plays vidja all day long while the dishwasher and washing machine do half my work.
Same, I could just have to receive my wife with a glass of whiskey and a pussy munching
Actually that's not true, male lions are usually hunting alone and in dense vegetation. Newer studies show that male lions actually hunt as much prey as female lions! It's just harder for us to track that.
Lion: I wouldn't be where I am without my ladies.
"my wife chews on my balksack when I can't keep up with her sexual appetite. this is a cry for help"
It be that way sometimes (most times)
ass
Butt
Hindquarters, even.
You've gone too far!
Posterior too.
Tush?
Ass.
There is a category of Russian memes known as "волчьи мемы" (literally "wolf's memes") where you have a picture of a wolf, often distorted, put some cliche edgy text on it, but swap some words to make it into something hilarious.
Examples
That who is that is that
Others are not that
Entrance is entrance
and exit is an entrance
in the other direction
At home among his own,
A stranger among strangers
What the fuck is bad::s supposed to mean!?
I think bad::5 is IPv6
Psychologically accurate lion meme: “As a narcissistic wacko I yearn for a strictly hierarchical system, and I deserve to be at the top of it”
You forgot the word fascist. They are also fascists. All these alpha male wanna be's are all fascists.
Yep, the Venn diagram for this would certainly be gloomy. Would also have a decent overlap with the “longing for a zombie apocalypse in which I would totally be the leader everyone obeys”-folks.
you want an apocalypse because you want to be a feudal lord
i want an apocalypse because i want to be part of a tightly-knit local community in a world without rich people governing everything
we are not the same
“Also, I will talk about how great I am but the women will do most of the work.”
Edit: actually I just learned that the males hunt as well, more than we thought, but it’s unlikely these people know this fact.
To be fair, I've met some cool-ass lions that were just hypnotized by Nala's bedroom eyes.
Ass
Obviously ants, bees and hornets are way more cooperative animals.
And dragons, but they tend to have a confusing energy that makes you question if they have a quiet, submissive side.
Be like a Capibara, don't give a fuck
Maybe not the lions? Unless you think men fighting over harems of women is cooperation.
Juvenile male lions have a bro thing going on. Like Disney's Lion King but with more lions.
