As with all stereotypes, they help predict general behavior. However, everyone is different and does not always

fit the classifications perfectly. Such is the nature of the stereotype: they're classifications that give a

person background information on a new stimulus that resembles previously encountered stimuli. It is the basis for

survival in the wild (a tiger attacked me a long time ago; therefore, all tigers may be a threat), but it can be

both beneficial (if a guy with a certain personality hurt you, maybe you'll learn to stay away from that

personality type in the future) or detrimental (one guy is a jerk, so they must all be jerks) in today's society.

The word stereotype, of course, has a negative connotation.

Do you all really

believe men can be categorized this patently? I'm quite sure that if you asked a bunch of people which I am,

you'd get a 50/50 split depending on where I know them. (gym vs work vs socially)

I know several people who are

clearly a soft beta coating over a hard alpha core. I've interacted with those that are alpha facaded betas-many

bullies are this way.

So, do these distinctions exist? Do they have any predictive value or use?

Just

curious.
