“I don’t think women really like that beta male thing,” she said.

“They don’t!” Prather replied. “You know what women like? They like men. They like men that are men. They like men that are confident in being men. And I’m giving you permission right now, America — be masculine!”

Prather then lamented that boys today feel inhibited about burping and scratching themselves.

“It’s okay, boys,” he said. “Burp and scratch yourselves!

Funniest line from dumb and dumber.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. I'll never admit it, but I own the DVD. NT

[smirkymonkey]

21. Don't be ashamed, I do too.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

23. I think of it as the "Citizen Kane" of that genre. Please excuse my French. NT

[Va Lefty]

2. Okayyyy

[a kennedy]

3. and women just love men that demand they have supper ready at 5:00pm,

have sex whenever they want, shut up in public, have no opinion, are barefoot, and have baby after baby, you know the woman that men really want.

[samnsara]

4. we all are looking for that Matt Dillon type..

...don't think he scratched and spit...

[dchill]

5. I'm definitely trying THAT!

...Later: No takers. Drat!

[hlthe2b]

7. I won't begin to describe the kind of woman THEY must be referring to...

But, clearly they are Fox's demographic.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. "........ and who look like Roger Ailes." nt

[gratuitous]

9. Or Steve Bannon

And, by the way Fox nitwits, every man on the planet burps and scratches his itches. So does every woman. Cripes.

[Cirque du So-What]

16. The difference is...

we don't make a big, public display of it. Those who do are rightly ostracized.

[RainCaster]

10. So pull my finger babe

And I'll grab you by the Patty.

Yeah, I let auto-correct have it's way. Sue me.

[Newcanuck]

11. My response to these "Boys"

Even better: do those two things AT THE SAME TIME! That'll be sure to impress the ladies (not).

[FarCenter]

12. Just have a look at the "romance" section of your local bookstore

[tanyev]

13. Only if they are gastroenterologists or dermatologists looking for new patients.

[Initech]

14. So they want a planet full of Homer Simpsons and Barney Gumbles?

They are aware that those are fictional characters right?

[smirkymonkey]

18. Uhh...

No, we don't.

[treestar]

19. It is so hilarious that they tell us what we want

And that we all apparently want the same thing. They cannot accept individual differences.

[petronius]

20. Damn, so a 'dad bod' isn't enough, now I have to burp as well?

What's next, is some self-absorbed demanding woman going to insist that I watch TV and drink beer in my underwear all day, too!!??

[smirkymonkey]

22. Yes, we all want manly men!

[Initech]

41. And fuck light beer!

Give me a double, triple, quad, or imperial IPA any day of the week!

[Javaman]

24. the further dumbing down of society in public. nt

[mercuryblues]

25. What? Farting isn't on the list?

[DetlefK]

26. Only if it's a strong, proud and manly fart.

Not one of those weak ones you barely notice.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. If you can't burp, scratch yourself and fart all at the same time,

you're not a real man.

[Freddie]

28. My husband can burp on cue

And taught our granddaughter this little parlor trick. She's 7 and thinks it's hilarious.
He's still a good liberal.

[Aristus]

29. So......being 'masculine' means being boorish. Got it.

I think I'll continue trying to be the Southern gentleman my mother raised me to be, thank you very much.

I'm proud to say that the women in my life have been of a very high caliber.

If burping and scratching myself is supposed to make things better, well then, you can have it...

[Shrike47]

30. So women want men who are, like Trumpie, course and vulgar?

Doubt.

[lunasun]

31. Reminds me of the new ted Cruz ad

https://m.

[Dawson Leery]

32. Unmotivated drunk goofballs are the ideal?

[moondust]

33. Planet of the apes.

[Beaverhausen]

34. Newsflash: Beta males burp and scratch themselves

God I hate Fox

[Old Terp]

35. Weren't conservative men just complaining

that intelligent women wouldn't date them?

[NastyRiffraff]

36. Maybe that's true for Fox News women

I doubt if it's true for most women. At least for non-Republican women.

[DavidDvorkin]

37. Not the kind of women I'm drawn to.

[Lee-Lee]

38. Maybe the kind of women watching Fox do...

[Different Drummer]

39. So...this is what men should aspire to?

[Oneironaut]

40. Sorry, but the guest is trying way too hard. It comes across as fraudulent.

Also, am I only the one who is annoyed that the pop culture concept of “alpha” and “beta” has made it into the mainstream? First of all, “alpha” and “beta” males don’t exist, and secondly, that trait certainly doesn’t exist in humans. It’s an annoying bro-science frat boy-ism, usually used by assholes who want to justify being misogynist mega-douches.

[jmowreader]

42. I just love those two terms

“Alpha male” - anyone I consider as manly as me
“Beta male” - everyone else

The problem is, your self-proclaimed Alpha Male is a guy whose favorite cocktail is Vinegar and Water, and who has been trying for twenty years to get a Summer’s Eve tattoo. (The session always ends when the artist asks him if he knows what Summer’s Eve makes.) He generally smells like PBR sweat and rancid cheap-cigarette smoke. His automobile is a 1976 Chevrolet Vega, which he claims to drive because it’s a “classic” that he is going to turn into a drag racing car, but he really drives because he’s totaled so many other cars his agent won’t write him for anything else. His sexual exploits end when the woman demands he wear a condom and give her a gas mask.

In the animal world, the alpha male is the leader of the pack. What the irrelevant humans claiming this status would really be are lone wolves.
