One of the weirdest contradictions to me is the "A sigma female doesn't care about what people think about her or what she looks like" vs "A woman should look like what Im attracted to, and also she should be the weight I want her to be, or she's not worthy" contradiction
it's funny how these guys associate themselves with wolves and say they're "loners", like ffs wolves are pack animals, their packs are family groups (the "alphas" are just the parents, so don't say you're an alpha male if you don't have a dad bod and care for your friends, i said what i said), they are literally about as social as animals get

Keanu is the actual version of what these idiots call 'sigma', in that he probably doesn't give a flying fuck about hierarchy or what Greek letter comes before your gender signifier.
I feel there is another aspect to the 'I don't care what anyone else thinks' idealization: people who have been bullied or abused in their lives, and some neurodivergent people, can idealize a position of strength that 'doesn't feel' a conditioned anxiety that other people will subordinate and punish them if given an opportunity. Tara M is right about the 'I just tell it like it is' social sadist crowd crossing over with all this though: that attitude is very eager to exploit those who experience this kind of uncertainty.
I think it's an extension of the mindset that worships strength and power above all else. These men are terrified of being weak, because they believe that if anyone holds power over them, that person WILL abuse them. Which leads them to believe that they have to be dominant in all situations - it's the only way to protect themselves. This is why they worship physical strength: being the strongest person makes you physically dominant. No-one can overpower you. It's why they worship intelligence: being the smartest person makes you intellectually dominant. No-one can outwit you. However, they recognise that power can come from more than just physique and intelligence. People can manipulate your emotions, making you act irrationally. All that strength and intelligence you've cultivated will mean nothing if someone is able to provoke your emotions, and cause you to make a mistake. So these men also worship emotional suppression: being in control of your own thoughts makes you emotionally dominant. No-one can manipulate you. That's basically the Alpha/Sigma top-tier ideal. A man with a mind like a fortress, that no emotional threat can penetrate. For the Alpha, this is supposed to come from a state of absolute self-confidence. An ironclad ego, that cannot be touched by the mockery of lesser men. While for the Sigma, their strength comes from stoic detachment. By not caring about things, they ensure that no-one has any emotional leverage over them. This is supposedly why the Sigma doesn't care for society's rules or standards. Building your self-worth around social constructs is an inherently fraught position. Because other people have the power to alter those constructs, and determine how well you measure up to them. You are effectively giving other people power over you, which is a dangerous position. In the socio-sexual hierarchy, Alphas and Sigmas are often seen as equals, because they're both able to achieve Sex With Women - the ultimate goal. But I've also seen some taxonomies that place Sigmas above Alphas, because they're "stronger" by virtue of their stoicism. Here's the thing: in terms of pure power - that is, the capacity to resist other people's attempts to control you - stoic detachment really is the best option. At the end of the day, you can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. That's the ultimate power - the only real power any of us have. But the problem these men face is that they can't actually pursue such detachment properly. Because they're pursuing it out of fear. They want to be strong because they're terrified of being weak. That's why they loudly declare that they "don't care what anyone else thinks", instead of staying silent and letting their actions speak for them. They do care, a lot. They care about convincing you that they're strong, so you won't abuse them. And they care about convincing you that they don't care what you think of them, so you won't manipulate them. Their actions betray their priorities. They don't yet realise that a man who was truly detached wouldn't be afraid of weakness in the first place. Nor would he be concerned about being a virgin, or about having sex. He wouldn't care about the socio-sexual hierarchy at all, let alone where he fits into it. The true Sigma Males are all the men who quite rightly recognize that the hierarchy is fucking stupid, and ignore it. That's why they're able to achieve Sex With Women - they're not insecure sexists. These idiots are *so close* to the truth.
@@tbotalpha8133 It really, really is a response to being locked into a hierarchy they can't control, and a discomfort that others can subordinate them at any time and it would be considered 'fair' by the hierarchy's rules. The actual hierarchy of this world is mostly 'wealth' and it's incredibly unlikely ordinary people will suddenly become wealthy enough, and keep that wealth/not simply be exploited by richer people, to climb that hierarchy for real. So the more 'traditional' insecure reaction to these forces, I guess is the 'get married/start household' thing, because if you must be subordinated by your boss working for a living you can at least be the patriarch of your household and dominate the order there. But without 'access' to that self-similar smaller hierarchy level, focus is shifted to 'why can't I get it in?' instead of 'why do I feel inferior in the first place?' Leading to kind of a fox and the grapes situation, "I want it... but I hate feeling inferior for not being 'able' to get it, so I will pretend I am above wanting it in the first place! and that makes me better than other thirsty people!" as a way to try and wiggle out of feeling like the lowest rung on the ladder. Which. Is just a re-creation of the Not Like Other Girls phenomenon, but incel flavored.
Oh my god that list of female archetypes has to be done by a male. She's basically either caring or independent (can't be both) and they just repeat those two 'personalities' slightly worded differently. Also interesting how the male one specifically talks about their appeal to women, and the female one generalizes it to other people, or again, other women. Not one of those listed relationship attributes or attraction to/from men/partners. Gives a very "if a woman even thinks about a man/sex, she's a wh*re" feel. And why does delta specifically talk about "due to negative life experiences" -- THAT'S a personality trait? They are just obsessed with the "broken women" stereotype... actually shocked 'daddy issues' wasn't mentioned.
The screenshot was only up for a second and I think I got the point from it, but as a Chihuahuas human, I have to confirm you were defending them. My little guy's a great dog. He can be a little anxious and scared sometimes, but he's a good boy.
Remember people: bad owners, not bad dogs. For some reason, people like to think that smaller dogs don't need to be trained, or can be treated like toys; both sides can lead to an aggressive dog. It's like when people let big dog breeds growl as puppies because it's cute, and now they have a problem with a big dog who thinks they think they can growl and show teeth to get whatever they want. If your dog is still aggressive after training and good treatment, then that's a clear sign of anxiety or a health issue that needs to be checked out. But otherwise... Train. Your. Dogs!!
Nothing wrong with Chihuahuas, or puppers that can be anxious and skittish sometimes. If any creature is generally mocked and seen as lesser simply for existing as they are, it makes sense. I remember seeing a point raised by a bulldog's owner recently: "How can you be a dog lover if you don't have love for bully breeds?" Same goes for your little one. All dogs are good dogs, capable of devotion and love. Like the above commenter said, it's all down to their human. As a lifetime canine fan, if you own a dog of any breed and treat your furry companion with love, care, and respect, you're my kind of people. 💜 (as an aside, there seems to be a pattern of prejudice when it comes to Mexican dog breeds that bothers me)
I was under the impression that I was a sigma female, but after watching all these manosphere videos I realize I’m more of a pi female. I love baked goods and I am constantly irrational.
The "Delta Airlines" has unfortunately brought you down to a Zeta female status, Ms. Mooknee. The council of women wish you the best of luck in future endavours.
I don't know why my brain did this, but when Tara said she got a moooooonicure, I saw her ring and thought "the cow finally proposed!" As if I had been waiting for the cow to make her move
Tbf what impresses me the most with your videos is how you're able to sit through these awful "contents" in the first place, so that we don't have to. Thanks for your sacrifice! (Love your videos)
Healthy Gamer is a channel run by a psychologist who has gamers and introverted people as the target audience. Doctor K talks about mental health, the science of the brain and mental illnesses, and has very amazing and profound discussions with the audience and with people that he invites to his channel to talk about their experiences with anxiety, depression, etc. It's a very good channel and it has really taught me how to change my perspective on life for the better. This kind of channel is what these socially anxious men (or people in general ) need.
In my experience being a quiet girl/woman just makes people project so much onto you (both positive and negative). Also, not that I'm in any position to give life advice, I think that if you're trying to develop your identity these archetypes can only get you so far. Sure you can use them as a spring board, but honestly taking a uquiz is just as effective and possibly more fun. There's nothing wrong with being a combination of things or having a variety of traits. All the things that I am or that like come with asterisks. For example, I love Tv and Films, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in literally everything that exists. Horror isn't my favorite genre, but there are exceptions to that too.
I'm an Epsilon Male. I just made it up and don't actually have a description for it but epsilon is my favorite Greek letter, so it is just as legitimate as all the other types.
The horoscope analogy is spot on. Not long ago a friend set me up on a date. At one point in the evening, she said to me "I get a sigma male vibe from you.", (one of many red flags), I think she was saying it as some sort of compliment, but she almost inadvertently fractured my jaw, with the traumatic cringe she inflicted with that archetypal BS. Needless to say, it was the first and last date.
These alpha/sigma/etc. personality types sound a lot like a bootleg version of attachment theory and the spectrum of attachment styles. There's a TH-camr, Heidi Priebe, who makes really great videos that goes over attachment styles as well as many other topics meant to actually help you and help your relationships. So that's my own 2 cents for alternatives to the "hierarchical power personality types"
According to this I could be a sigma female. I’ve been compared to Wednesday and Daria growing up. Guess what?? I was also called a bitch or an ice queen. Also guess what? I’m autistic. 😂

I like Tarot and I draw a card every morning, but I just can't imagine basing my personality around it and seeking content revolving around it and living my life by it.
I think that this kind of 'advice' does so much damage to relationships, as you said. Makes dating apps hell to be honest. Whatever happened to being yourself, and simply respect people around you? It's sad that podcasts which spread this sigma male stuff have gotten so popular. Even here in Germany :/ Honestly, I don't want to date a guy or a woman who think they need to pull off a bunch of tricks to make me like them, that is so wrong. And I think anyone, who sees someone describing themselves as a sigma male/female, should run for the hills.
"The people who say that they don't care what anyone thinks... they tend to be the same people who just say 'I just tell it how it is' as they mercilessly crush your self-esteem." Thank you for bringing this up. So much. Yes, narcissism is a human trait. There's nothing wrong with healthy levels of it and holding yourself high. However, this entire subject seems to revolve around finding reasons to hold yourself higher than others, and that scares me. Here's a hot take, boys: Pathological. Narcissism. Is. Not. Self. Improvement. Demeaning others to make yourself feel better doesn't make you a Sigma Maaaaale. It means you can't find romantic partners because you're behaving like a Grade A asshat.
P.S. Happy belated birthday, lovely human! I found your channel via one of your fellow lovely humans (Sir Foreign), and I'm very, very glad you did. I hope your next trip around the sun is an excellent one. 💜

When i was in middle school, they made us make a newspaper. I ended up doing the horoscpoes because nobody (including myself) knew how. I wrote a lot of really vague things that happen to us anyways like "The Virgo will have a decision to make that will greatly influence their journy thru life. Tread carefully". Everyone found it relatable bacause it is, to everyone and that was the point. The Alpha, Beta, Sigma (whatever- call it abuse of the Greek alphabet) is like that. Really vauge B.S. someone made up that can theoretically apply to everyone.
Because the manosphere is a sphere, so after they write the whole alphabet on the sphere, they can just rotate to the letter that comes next in the manosphorder
Thinking of yourself in such a generalised way is just too limiting and people should stop it. But I was young once too and I understand the anxiety of feeling alienated.
Tara this video was funny witty and laced with the typical Mooknee sarcasm … Many thanks for cheering me up x and many thanks to you and The Cow fur another great video …. Loved the ‘Bugatti not for sale’ line …. You have a wonderful laugh btw

Okay, ngl, when they make the anime adaptation of the light novel "I Can't Believe My High-Spec Girlfriend the MMA Fighter/Cyclist Likes Me *Because* I'm an Omega Nerd?!!" I will be watching it

"A woman should look like what Im attracted to, and also she should be the weight I want her to be, or she's not worthy"

Especially since lone wolves usually die quickly as a result of that fact.

So the more 'traditional' insecure reaction to these forces, I guess is the 'get married/start household' thing, because if you must be subordinated by your boss working for a living you can at least be the patriarch of your household and dominate the order there. But without 'access' to that self-similar smaller hierarchy level, focus is shifted to 'why can't I get it in?' instead of 'why do I feel inferior in the first place?'
Leading to kind of a fox and the grapes situation, "I want it... but I hate feeling inferior for not being 'able' to get it, so I will pretend I am above wanting it in the first place! and that makes me better than other thirsty people!" as a way to try and wiggle out of feeling like the lowest rung on the ladder. Which. Is just a re-creation of the Not Like Other Girls phenomenon, but incel flavored.
The cow always has better things to do instead of fulfilling our desire to see her, that's such a sigma move... I guess.
A sigma...moove?
Oh my god that list of female archetypes has to be done by a male. She's basically either caring or independent (can't be both) and they just repeat those two 'personalities' slightly worded differently. Also interesting how the male one specifically talks about their appeal to women, and the female one generalizes it to other people, or again, other women. Not one of those listed relationship attributes or attraction to/from men/partners. Gives a very "if a woman even thinks about a man/sex, she's a wh*re" feel. And why does delta specifically talk about "due to negative life experiences" -- THAT'S a personality trait? They are just obsessed with the "broken women" stereotype... actually shocked 'daddy issues' wasn't mentioned.
The male archetypes can't even pass the Bechdel test though 😂
The screenshot was only up for a second and I think I got the point from it, but as a Chihuahuas human, I have to confirm you were defending them. My little guy's a great dog. He can be a little anxious and scared sometimes, but he's a good boy.
❤🐶
@@cassiusdhami9215 Hate seeing the mistake of thinking smaller = doesn't need exercise. Love seeing healthy, confident chihuahuas running around.
Remember people: bad owners, not bad dogs.
For some reason, people like to think that smaller dogs don't need to be trained, or can be treated like toys; both sides can lead to an aggressive dog. It's like when people let big dog breeds growl as puppies because it's cute, and now they have a problem with a big dog who thinks they think they can growl and show teeth to get whatever they want. If your dog is still aggressive after training and good treatment, then that's a clear sign of anxiety or a health issue that needs to be checked out. But otherwise... Train. Your. Dogs!!
Nothing wrong with Chihuahuas, or puppers that can be anxious and skittish sometimes. If any creature is generally mocked and seen as lesser simply for existing as they are, it makes sense.
I remember seeing a point raised by a bulldog's owner recently: "How can you be a dog lover if you don't have love for bully breeds?"
Same goes for your little one.
All dogs are good dogs, capable of devotion and love. Like the above commenter said, it's all down to their human.
As a lifetime canine fan, if you own a dog of any breed and treat your furry companion with love, care, and respect,
you're my kind of people. 💜
(as an aside, there seems to be a pattern of prejudice when it comes to Mexican dog breeds that bothers me)
I was under the impression that I was a sigma female, but after watching all these manosphere videos I realize I’m more of a pi female. I love baked goods and I am constantly irrational.
that's a good one :D
The "Delta Airlines" has unfortunately brought you down to a Zeta female status, Ms. Mooknee. The council of women wish you the best of luck in future endavours.

I don't know why my brain did this, but when Tara said she got a moooooonicure, I saw her ring and thought "the cow finally proposed!" As if I had been waiting for the cow to make her move
My brain did the exact same thing and I'm so glad it wasn't the only one
Same here 😂
You mean make her mooooooove
this should honestly be top comment
Tbf what impresses me the most with your videos is how you're able to sit through these awful "contents" in the first place, so that we don't have to. Thanks for your sacrifice! (Love your videos)
Healthy Gamer is a channel run by a psychologist who has gamers and introverted people as the target audience. Doctor K talks about mental health, the science of the brain and mental illnesses, and has very amazing and profound discussions with the audience and with people that he invites to his channel to talk about their experiences with anxiety, depression, etc. It's a very good channel and it has really taught me how to change my perspective on life for the better. This kind of channel is what these socially anxious men (or people in general ) need.
In my experience being a quiet girl/woman just makes people project so much onto you (both positive and negative). Also, not that I'm in any position to give life advice, I think that if you're trying to develop your identity these archetypes can only get you so far. Sure you can use them as a spring board, but honestly taking a uquiz is just as effective and possibly more fun. There's nothing wrong with being a combination of things or having a variety of traits. All the things that I am or that like come with asterisks. For example, I love Tv and Films, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in literally everything that exists. Horror isn't my favorite genre, but there are exceptions to that too.
I'm an Epsilon Male. I just made it up and don't actually have a description for it but epsilon is my favorite Greek letter, so it is just as legitimate as all the other types.
😱 the rarest, most independent, mostest power levelest male
I'll allow it, as someone who has no authority whatsoever in the topic, like everyone who theorize on this
I second it. Now, let's call that peer reviewed.
It's giving brave new world by Aldous Huxley 💀💀💀

Now omegaverse is more conceivable about how people would work than manosphere.
At least omegaverse is less arbitrary.
I always get excited whenever a new video comes out that was written& produced by a cow!!🐮
Sometimes reality feels like a dystopian omegaverse fanfiction
I want this on a shirt
Actually no, bootyshorts
i can’t believe the omegaverse is becoming mainstream💀 this really is the darkest timeline
omg your cat having a cow pattern?? so precious, she’s perfect for you 🥹
The horoscope analogy is spot on. Not long ago a friend set me up on a date. At one point in the evening, she said to me "I get a sigma male vibe from you.", (one of many red flags), I think she was saying it as some sort of compliment, but she almost inadvertently fractured my jaw, with the traumatic cringe she inflicted with that archetypal BS. Needless to say, it was the first and last date.
lol oh noooooo, that sucks! Welp at least she let you know on the first date, I guess that's a good thing in a way 🤷♂
@@idontwantahandlethough Very true.
tara is the no-driver's-licence representation I want
honestly same
She's definitely better rep than sovereign citizens 😂
Something about a guinea pig named Barbara makes me so irrationally happy. (Also happy birthday Tara!)
That joke about Delta airlines flew right over my head.
Sometimes jokes are best when you script them. Other times you should just wing it.
Well no one has liked my comment. It’s just not taking off.
At least I’m making jokes. I could dump all my trauma but I feel like no one would want to hear my baggage.
"i don't trust easily" + "trust is the most important thing for a good relationship" = "i am bad at being in a relationship"
Exactly
I mean, I am tho 😂😂😂
These alpha/sigma/etc. personality types sound a lot like a bootleg version of attachment theory and the spectrum of attachment styles. There's a TH-camr, Heidi Priebe, who makes really great videos that goes over attachment styles as well as many other topics meant to actually help you and help your relationships. So that's my own 2 cents for alternatives to the "hierarchical power personality types"
5:38 excuse me, according to the tiktok, sigma females walk their bicycles, they don't cycle
Do they take them to the bike park to play with the other bikes?
According to this I could be a sigma female. I’ve been compared to Wednesday and Daria growing up. Guess what?? I was also called a bitch or an ice queen. Also guess what? I’m autistic. 😂
Holy cow, does is mean being a sigma female is genetic?
And can I get less stigmatized by calling myself sigma instead of autistic?😂
I think we are onto something
Hi. I'm your long lost twin.
Tara: "Thank you for sitting through that ad read"
Me, who just skipped past it: "Oh, yeah... totally... sat through the whole thing.... you're welcome..."
👀
I especially loved the bit when you'd read TH-cam comments, you really committed to the performance. It was like they were in the room.
2:15 This chart cracks me up if only because gammas, who "often...can't grasp Red Pill concepts," are the ones labelled bitter or clueless about women.
babe wake up new Tara video just dropped
Love your videos! Insightful, funny, and delightful. The pet shout outs are wonderful 💜 I would love to see more of the cute kitty that made a cameo during the Lelo ad! Thank you for doing what you do 😊
that was an accidental soft launch, he'll be properly introduced in the next video 👀
Your hair looks beautiful and shiny! And the haircut with the layers fits you great!
"Are you not like other girls? Are you perhaps one of the boys?"
Me, a trans dude: reverse clocked at the pageant
well played
This comment is gold and the fact Tara hasn't read it is nearing a hate crime.
What about a Sigma Cow?
Tis thee great and terrible beast of legends.
Cows are fEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEemale
I feel like the Greek letter a cow would use would be mu
We display MOO-nificence on this channel here.
P.S. Moo-nicure is fabulous 🐮
Shoutout to my girlies whose sigma feeeeeeeeeeeeeeemale traits are the reason they're in therapy!
I like Tarot and I draw a card every morning, but I just can't imagine basing my personality around it and seeking content revolving around it and living my life by it.
I think that this kind of 'advice' does so much damage to relationships, as you said. Makes dating apps hell to be honest. Whatever happened to being yourself, and simply respect people around you? It's sad that podcasts which spread this sigma male stuff have gotten so popular. Even here in Germany :/
Honestly, I don't want to date a guy or a woman who think they need to pull off a bunch of tricks to make me like them, that is so wrong.
And I think anyone, who sees someone describing themselves as a sigma male/female, should run for the hills.
SHES BACK
Is the cow a dad? Because that delta female joke she wrote is 100% a dad joke. I LOLed.
The only girls who can unironically call themselves sigma girls are sorority girls
"The people who say that they don't care what anyone thinks... they tend to be the same people who just say 'I just tell it how it is' as they mercilessly crush your self-esteem."
Thank you for bringing this up. So much.
Yes, narcissism is a human trait. There's nothing wrong with healthy levels of it and holding yourself high.
However, this entire subject seems to revolve around finding reasons to hold yourself higher than others,
and that scares me.
Here's a hot take, boys: Pathological. Narcissism. Is. Not. Self. Improvement.
Demeaning others to make yourself feel better doesn't make you a Sigma Maaaaale.
It means you can't find romantic partners because you're behaving like a Grade A asshat.
P.S. Happy belated birthday, lovely human!
I found your channel via one of your fellow lovely humans (Sir Foreign), and I'm very, very glad you did.
I hope your next trip around the sun is an excellent one. 💜
Sigma people are so rebellious they don't even follow grammar rules
I was really not like the other girls. Turns out I'm an Theta Nonbinary!
theta is a pog letter
The pet shoutouts are always precious, I love that you do those.
Happy birthday! You lovely women, you got us a new video as a present!
Outta context comment. I love tara’s new aesthetic. You’re glowing girl !!! 😍✨
The realistic narcissist who thinks "I'm great, but not that great" Sigmas.
most people won't know a narcissist if it looked at them from a lake
You're one of the few TH-camr, where I don't even get the urge to skip through the AD! Your ads are always well included & entertaining❤️
I didn't even know any terms besides Alpha, Beta & Omega 😂
The only personality test I need is wether I am Barbie, Alan or Ken💞💅✨
Let's be honest, the ideal is Alan.
@@rd6203 Alan is pretty solid, not gonna lie. 😄
Happy belated birthday! Glad your head is healing!
Aw Jenn showing up in unexpected places is a mood
“I suppose I could whip out the ukele-“ 😂☠️
You're back!!! I have missed you. And the cow ❤🐮
The way I actually shouted "LET'S GO" when I got the notification! Love these videos Tara!
Sigma Female is just an even weirder way to say girlboss
The THUMBNAIL is next level. Ty 💌 Happy Birthday!!🎂
Chihuahuas are usually super sweet! I've only met like 2 that were mean and one was horribly abused so I couldn't even be mad about their aggression.
17:38 I find this funny because it's a non-binary pansexual person. I have often thought this about people of every gender. It's not necessarily true, but it's not specific to women
Happy Birthday Tara! So glad to know you are closer to my own age then I thought! You look great!
Hahaha, righteous video. I love that you also found time to shout out reverend Jen in between the social satire and sarcasm.
0:20 Ah yes, the well known phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a deer".
omg happy belated birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉 i just had mine a couple weeks ago too (also a cancer) I hope you had a better bday than I did! (had to work all day and didn't get any celebrations)
When i was in middle school, they made us make a newspaper. I ended up doing the horoscpoes because nobody (including myself) knew how.
I wrote a lot of really vague things that happen to us anyways like "The Virgo will have a decision to make that will greatly influence their journy thru life. Tread carefully". Everyone found it relatable bacause it is, to everyone and that was the point.
The Alpha, Beta, Sigma (whatever- call it abuse of the Greek alphabet) is like that. Really vauge B.S. someone made up that can theoretically apply to everyone.
tara is GLOWING in this video omfg stunning
Sigma between alpha and beta? Delta between beta and gamma? Why don't these people know the Greek alphabet?
Because the manosphere is a sphere, so after they write the whole alphabet on the sphere, they can just rotate to the letter that comes next in the manosphorder
They are pure cringe.
Thinking of yourself in such a generalised way is just too limiting and people should stop it. But I was young once too and I understand the anxiety of feeling alienated.
Love your content, Tara.
Tara this video was funny witty and laced with the typical Mooknee sarcasm …
Many thanks for cheering me up x and many thanks to you and The Cow fur another great video ….
Loved the ‘Bugatti not for sale’ line …. You have a wonderful laugh btw
Loving the moonicure
SHE’S BAAAACK 🥳
I hope you stay on two wheels, Tara!!! The car drivers are the crazy ones, not the bicyclists
Two wheels bad, four wheels good.
Ok that FEEEEmale joke at the beginning of the video was too funny. The fact that you did it twice in a row just destroyed me. Plus i was holding on the laughs not to wake up my cats 😗
I am a unique individual.
Also, I fit into one of 5 gender hierarchy elements, 4 seasonal color types and 12 personality types/astrological signs.
the "fEmALe" audio is killing me😂😂😂😂
Fanfiction has ruined my ability to listen to this sort of video without laughing I'm sorry
I cant ever take this alpha and Omega typing with straight face, cause it triggers "heat and knots" memories
I always get switch and/or betas when I take the omega verse stuff.
And yes, I apply the omegaverse to the men’s astrology as well. Enjoy! 🎉
I dunno wether you, the cow or someone else edits your videos nowadays but man I’m a subscriber from day one and your content gets better and better (as if it wasn’t already banging way back when!) and the edits are just „Italian hand kiss“
Yes, Keanu Reeves and Jenna Ortega ARE both utterly butterly charming. And that’s a fact.
Okay, ngl, when they make the anime adaptation of the light novel "I Can't Believe My High-Spec Girlfriend the MMA Fighter/Cyclist Likes Me *Because* I'm an Omega Nerd?!!" I will be watching it
So basically a sigma is a person who has been traumatized in some way and now wishes to be skeptical and distrustful of the world. Got it. Sounds like a fantastic person to start a relationship with.
I missed you videos! Happy you're healthy and back to making videos
As a Zeta Male I really appreciate this breakdown
I love you and your content, Tara. Always happy to see that you posted a new video. Thank you so much (to the cow as well of course :D)
