    isn’t the joke simply that they’re top and bottom? am I missing something deeper?

      Supposedly they’re different conversations, where each man is addressing a woman.

      Took me quite a while, even with all the comments. To me they’re just gay dudes and the one labelled “alpha” has a thing for transvestites crossdressers? (sorry if wrong word, not native speaker)

        I’m writing this reply not as a correction, but as advice from a native english speaker. The word “transvestite” has fallen out of use due to connotations (bigotry). I would use cross-dressing here, instead of transvestite. It’s a word that USA-english speakers mostly avoiding using because there are less ambiguous ones (use transwoman/transman for trans people, use cross-dressing for cis people preforming a role/fetish).

        Your choice of word was not incorrect, it has just fallen out of fashion.

          Thank you for the perspective, amended my post. Didn’t remove it completely to allow others the same insight.

          had to tell my English teacher the same thing last Friday. She reads a lot of historical books, so it makes sense that there’d be some confusion lol

        Thank you! I could only see it as the alpha wanted the beta to dress like a chick so they could bone.

      Is it a joke? I’m reading the original as defining terms, and the poster as laughing at the juxtaposition implying homosexual intent for a typically homophobic population. Or maybe ts just funny that someone defines an alpha male in terms of wanting a gay encounter with a cross dresser. Works either way

        i actually thought it was a satire account and they intentionally implied that gay sex is part of being masculine
