talking about sex rolesI don't understand the obsession some men have in calling themselves and other men Greek letters. Is it some kind of secret code for sexual intentions? For example, could the sentence "get lost, beta male, let the alpha male do the talking" mean "you're clearly a sub, I can't wait to dom that cute ass"? And could the sentence "damn, you're sigma as fuck" mean "finally, a switch! You should come to my orgies ASAP!"

it's the result of a paper on the social hierarchies of captive wolves, which was retracted when it turned out that they work completely differently in the wild. bragging about being an alpha is basically asserting that you would be a top in prison.

I already knew about it being used for wolves (although I did not know about what it was used for, or its origin). I was just joking with some people's obsession of using these terms. Thank you for your comment, though.

(If these terms were originally used for wolves, could it be that the people using them... are furries in denial?!?)
