Is there some reason that alpha-males like Steve Ballmer always wear pink shirts? A play for contrast?

- ovi256 18y agoIt could be an attempt to project an image of innocence. Or could be a self put down. Something like: I will wear ping, so I better make it up in behaviour.

- mdakin 18y agoI know from experience that such shirts tend to come as gifts from hot girlfriends. So if there is any correlation between alpha-males and such shirts it is probably related to a correlation between alpha-males and hot girlfriends.
- xiaoma 18y agoWhen was Steve Balmer an alpha male? Steve Jobs, sure, but Balmer? He's a big, fat, bald guy who has spent his whole career in Gates's shadow. He's a very, very, very rich beta-male.
- anewaccountname 18y agoSo by your reasoning there can only be one alpha-male at Microsoft at a time?
- xiaoma 18y agoThe definition of beta male is that they act as second-in-command, subservient to the alpha. Usually, they're either dethroned, former alpha males or future alphas on the way up.
