A Glossary for the Manosphere
‘I will never apologize because I don’t make mistakes.’ – Poet, philosopher, pimp and possible people trafficker, Andrew Tate.
Newcomers to the wonderful world of photo-shopped masculinity coaches on non-existent superyachts trying to sell you expensive supplements that both reduce ‘brain fog’ and get you laid may initially be confused by the obscure lexicon that is employed. Fear not, I have summarized the key terms below. Feel free to share these (completely unironic) pearls of wisdom with any boys you know who have gone down the manosphere rabbit hole…
Alpha male – an illiterate bodybuilder with major concerns about his penis size who has traded emotions and long-term relationships for an encyclopedic knowledge of UFC stars and Joe Rogan
Beta male – the sort of timid weakling who enjoys therapy, discusses his feelings with girls and has even been known to ask for consent
Sigma male – a stone cold loser who has somehow converted the social isolation that resulted from his inability to communicate in whole sentences into a ‘still waters run deep’ virtue
The Matrix – a vague concept that encapsulates everything a ‘red-pilled’ dude can’t abide – taxes, women who voice opinions and, of course, tofu-based snacks
Incel – an involuntary celibate e.g. 90% of men who idolize Andrew Tate and 95% of men who are married with young kids.
The 80/20 rule – the statistically dubious ‘fact’ that 80% of women only desire the top 20% of men; a wonderful excuse for staying in your mum’s basement playing a PS5 (see incel).
High-value man – a six foot five Lambo-driving hedge funder who can bench 200Kgs and is thus sought after by non-superficial ladies seeking a profound relationship
Female hypergamy – the tendency that all girlfriends instinctively have to leave their beta boyfriends and ‘trade up’ to bronzed Rockefeller Adonises like me and Elon.
SMV (Sexual Market Value) – a completely unautistic attempt to assign a rating system to a human being’s sexual charisma ranging from a 1 (J D Vance) to a 10 (Pete Hegseth)
Red pilled – a completely non-delusional genius who, after spending too long down a YouTube rabbit hole, concludes that his life is dogshit not because he’s a charmless dickhead, but because of the evil machinations of a feminist world government that use soya milk and rom-coms to control men.
