Native speakers, how do you feel about this?

I wouldn’t say it’s bad advice at all, but labelling it as “speaking like an alpha” is very off-putting. Quick edit: Is it just me or do most of these quotes evoke a sense of superiority? Kinda like one-liners in a way. They are for “alphas” after all, switch the word out for “sigmas” and it’s practically the same thing.

The alternatives presented seem like reasonable synonyms for the initial statements, but I have no idea what it means to describe them as "speaking like an alpha". I guess the intention is for them to sound more confident? They don't really sound very different to me, honestly.

Absolute bullshit beginning to end. There's no such thing as an "alpha" and none of these sound more macho or impressive than any of the others. Some contexts call for more or less formality, some call for a more verbose response or a more terse and abrupt response. Responding to context appropriately is the best way to speak effectively. You could make the argument that e.g. "let me find out" is a more constructive (and less dismissive) response than "I don't know" but it also implies a commitment that you may or may not have time and resources to commit to, so I'm really not sure that always makes sense either. In short, selecting among these responses should be done based on many factors. Language is complicated.

This shit is unhelpful in any language

This is kind of weird. Anything here works fine, but ”to speak like an alpha” is a stupid goal.

Sounds overly pretentious to me.

Anyone who claims to be an "alpha" or wants to help you be an "alpha" is best ignored. They are all toxic, sexist, often racist, cowards who obsess over trying to be dictators in their own, sad, little, pathetic lives. They normally have no friends, or no friends other than a few other "alphas." Most people do their best to avoid them. They're pitied, hated, little cretins. So, avoid any "alpha bros." As for these specific examples, none of them are terrible. The "don't say" phrases tend to be more informal to semi-formal, while the "say" phrases tend to be more semi-formal to formal, but that isn't true for every phrase. Generally, all the phrases are ok, so use what you want.

The whole "Alpha" concept was created by wieners who want to pretend like they are the pinnacle of manhood. It's all nonsense

No, if anything at all says “Alpha” it is nonsense. Most of these won’t work in every situation. That’s not to say every single one is bad, but definitely don’t listen to whatever account you saw this on. The whole “Alpha” thing is intended to make people, usually young men, extremely reliant on the people giving this “advice” to them, and they are almost always trying to profit off of someone’s insecurities.

"see you" is nicer than "goodbye" since it implies a future meeting. The rest are just pointless and silly

I think all these are fine except “it’s pleasant”. Pleasant really isn’t a word you use everyday, and it implies other properties (such as calm, smooth, or warm) that may explain *why* you like something, but that’s not necessarily going to apply to everything that you like. Also “I don’t know” and “let me find out” don’t mean the same thing, but I’m sure you knew that. If you really want to be **ALPHA** about it, you should say “if it were important, I would know, but I don’t, so it’s not” instead.

What in the world does "speaking like an alpha" mean??

This is for the kind of person that doesn’t really think of other people’s perspective. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that it’s for the kind of person who doesn’t realize that other people won’t always respond to you the same way. I think that specifically “Let me find out” is more useful than “I don’t know,” in a professional environment. Otherwise, for any of the rest, I cannot see one being better than the other. Context is always king.

I've always thought of "alpha" as people who think they are better than everyone else, who will do whatever is needed to get where they want, and who have no qualms about running people over on the way (i.e. assholes), not whatever this is trying to say.

It sounds cringe bruh

Alpha, Beta, Gamma mindset are for children. Idk why grown man should have anything to do about it

This is social advice, not language advice. And yes, it's stupid.

It is 100% incorrect. Lol None of that will make you sound like an “alpha.” None of that will make you sound like *not* an alpha, either. Also: maybe stop believing in alpha/beta shit. It’s not useful or indicative of any truth about human personalities or social standing.

I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me.

**laughing in Omega

How to sound like a complete wanker:

Lol

With this logic, it's basically this: Don't say "How to speak like an 'Alpha'" Say "The correct procedure on how to resemble a Superior's speaking"

There is absolutely no reason any of these phrases will make you sound like an "alpha". All of these "do this if you want to be an alpha" things are extremely dumb. No one talks about alphas except weird guys who are obsessed with being alphas.

I would avoid taking any advice that mentions being an "alpha" as a general rule of thumb

Reminds me of 'gentlemanly' language, but with ab annoying wrapper

Take a mix of them all. They are just English phrases. Don't mind nonsense like "speaking like an alpha". People don't care. They just want to communicate with you. So it doesn't make a difference if you sound fancy. Using too many of them will make you sound weird or pretentious. People usually come here asking how to sound native or natural. Exclusively using them will not help you do that. So as I said, use a mix of them.

Phrases like "it's pleasant" and "my pleasure" are more examples of lost self-control! Those words came into the English language from other languages. English wasn't confident enough in its own words and relied on others. .

In a professional context, "let me find out" (and then you really find out) is more proactive, while "I don't know" just shows ignorance. This one is good advice 

I like the effort made in the direction to talk outside the box, but just talking inside another box misses the point.

who wants to be a right wing meme based on nonsense? I feel, as a native speaker that anyone who describes themselves as an "alpha" needs to get in the sea

Some of these "alternatives" don't really have the same meaning, and some of them are pretty much interchangeable and have no connotations one way or another. The only one that sort of makes sense is saying "Let me find out" instead of "I don't know"; I'm not sure that has anything to do with being "alpha", but it's something they teach salespeople to do.

If I met someone who consistently used this "alpha male" language I would think they're intellectually disabled

Thats just being polite and well mannered, not alpha.

If you say "My pleasure," a lot of people will laugh and ask if you used to work at Chick-fil-A. Source: I say "my pleasure" pretty often, and I've been to a Chick-fil-A once. I do not say this to be.. an alpha. I personally feel like it's more passive than "You're welcome."

“Let me find out” instead of “I don’t know” sounds like advice from an armchair Instagram psychologist

These people are so weird…

“ It’s pleasant “ is cold and dismissive. Whereas, “ see you “ is casual and friendly. This list seems bogus.
