What exactly is a Zeta male?

We've heard about the five male personality types; alpha, sigma, Beta, delta, and omega.

But the zeta male personality is something quite new for some of us. As a dating and life coach, I've encountered almost all types of personalities. Some of my works have been highlighted on Outwit trade and Up Journey. So, I have the knowledge and expertise to help you understand the traits of a zeta male. At the end of the article, we should find out if this is your personality type.

Let's dig in!

What is a Zeta Male?

A zeta male is a term used for men who reject the traditional norms and expectations of masculinity. According to society, men should be the provider and the protector of women; a zeta man rejects such an idea. To him, men and women have no defined roles and responsibilities.

He is a carefree spirit who does not care about what society thinks of him and his actions. He lives his life how he wants and doesn't care for approval or seek validation from others.

Characteristics of a Zeta Male

Zeta males are considered unique and typically sit outside the socio-sexual hierarchy. They share the same characteristics as the alphas and sigmas in some ways. But what makes them stand out? Let's find out!

1. Non-conformist

We are aware of the societal standards imposed on men. They ought to be strong - ready to protect what's theirs. They have to be successful in being able to provide for others and be the leader of the pack. Zetas are aware of these expectations, but they don't believe they have to conform. To them, men and women are equal. There are no certain rules on how a man should behave and no certain roles to fulfill.

2. Carefree and Independent

Zeta males are independent, and so they sit outside the hierarchy. They don't believe in the societal structure and choose not to follow anybody. They are intelligent and talented and can fend for themselves without the help of others. Zetas decide to live to the beat of their drum, caring less about what others may think.

3. He is self-aware and knows his beliefs

Zetas reject the traditional expectations regarding men and have their own beliefs. They're aware of the imposed roles on men, but they choose to live life as they see it. They can be straight, gay, bisexual, or polyamorous. They're not bound to gender rules either. So if they like watching chick flicks, they're not conscious about it, and it's alright for others to know.

7 Signs You're A Zeta Male

Do you find it hard to determine your place in the hierarchy? Do you share the same characteristics of both alpha and sigma? The zeta sits in between these two. Let's see if you are a zeta male.

1. You care less about what society thinks of you.

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

Zetas know how society thinks a man should act, but they don't give importance to them. It does not matter if people around you see you as a softie. In short, you do not seek and need validation from others to be happy. You don't require society's approval to do the things you enjoy.

2. You are not the 'knight in shining armor' type of guy.

via: Pexels / Tima Miroshnichenko

You believe that men and women are equal, so chivalry is not one of your characteristics. You don't think that men should be the ones always to shoulder the bills or open the doors for women. You will if you want to, but you won't if you don't feel like doing so.

3. You are open-minded.

via: Pexels / Mikael Blomkvist

Zetas do not mind hearing the opinions or ideas of others. If needed, they don't mind taking on what society considers as 'female roles.' They do not impose their views on others because they understand that each person is unique.

4. You understand women well.

via: Pexels / Ron Lach

Zetas relate well with women and are considered as a woman's best friend. It is more common to find them talking to women than men at parties. They understand women's psychology and their actions.

5. You won't submit to societal standards.

via: Pexels / Anna Shvets

A zeta male does not believe in society's standards of how a man should behave. He may be masculine in some ways, but that is because he wants to be and not because it is the norm. He does and invests in activities he enjoys, even if they may not be considered manly. He has his standards, and he lives by them.

6. You can look after yourself.

via: Pexels / Kampus Production

A big part of being independent is you know how to look after yourself. You have the resources to live the life you want. Apart from your family and close friends, you value yourself first.

7. You live your own unique life.

via: Pexels / Kampus Production

Societal norms do not bind you, and you make your own rules. You do not live the way it 'should be.' You do things that make you happy and care less about what others might think.

Zeta Male vs. Alpha Male

via: Unsplash / Maxim Tolchinskiy

The main difference between a zeta male and an alpha male is how they perceive a man's role in society. Both of these personality types are confident, self-assured, and independent. Alphas are considered the 'man's man' and enjoy manly pursuits. Those are just a few of the signs you're an alpha male. He likes to be in control of others and may be regarded as a bad boy at times. On the other hand, zeta males do not believe in gender roles. They are sometimes considered as women's best friends because they see them as equals. Unlike alphas, they don't care about being in control of their surroundings.

Zeta Males in Relationship

Zetas can either be well-liked or hated by women. If you ask someone, what do girls like? Common answers would be a good provider and protector. Another would be someone who understands them and is open to suggestions.

If you notice, some of these traits are possessed by zeta males, and some are not. Women find zetas likable and attractive because they understand women and value equality. A woman is not required to be submissive to his zeta partner.

She can have her voice and the same level of authority. However, some women might not like zetas because they don't do well with doing chivalrous and romantic things for their partners. If a woman prefers a traditional relationship where a man is expected to care for her, it might not work well with a zeta.

But a zeta man is a good catch for some who do not want to be bound by traditional relationship rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

via: Pexels / Mikhail Nilov

Have you determined if you are a zeta male? I'm sure you find this personality unique and interesting. There are other male types out there that are also unique in their own ways.

What are the five male types?

Society ranked the types of guys according to their personalities and traits.

The first male type is the alpha man. They are dominant, confident, and assertive, so they rank at the top. They are charming and successful when it comes to their careers.

The second male type is the sigma man. These are the guys who have a lone-wolf personality. They are as confident and powerful as alphas, but they prefer to do things on their own.

The third type is the beta male, considered the alpha's loyal lieutenant. They are good followers and prefer to stay in the background rather than take the spotlight.

The fourth one is the gamma male, also known as the 'romantic one.' They are highly intelligent and sensitive males.

Lastly, the omega male may seem like weaklings. And they might be considered the losers of the pack because they are passive. But they also have good traits such as a fun-loving and relaxed personality.

How do you tell if you're a Zeta male?

You are a zeta male if you reject the societal norms about masculinity. You reject the traditional beliefs that men must be the provider and protectors. You are independent and do not care what society thinks of you and your actions. You value your freedom and live the way you desire.

What is the strongest male personality type?

The alpha man is considered the strongest personality type. He sits on the top of the socio-sexual hierarchy. They can be an effective leader, confident, assertive, and like to be in control of their surroundings.

What's the rarest personality type for men?

The rarest personality type is the sigma. They have the same traits as the alpha; confident, successful, and charismatic. But they don't care about the societal ranks at all. They choose not to follow a leader and be independent. In this sense, zeta personality can also be considered rare. Zeta and sigma share the characteristic of being a non-conformist to societal norms and living to the beat of their drum.

A theta male is one of the many different male personality types you'll meet, and it helps to learn more about them!

I have a lot of expertise in writing about male personality types, and if you'd like to read my works, my articles have been on sites such as Best Life Online. So, this article is the place where you can learn  all about the different theta male traits.

Let's begin!

Contents

What is a Theta Male?

via: Unsplash / Samuel Rios

A theta male focuses on having a strong sense of morals and discipline, one they place value in more than the approval of others. They usually have a powerful spiritual connection that they follow with conviction, to ensure that they keep an ascetic lifestyle. They also tend to avoid concepts such as toxic masculinity or societal norms, and instead focus solely on their personal beliefs. If you've met someone that lives by a strong moral and spiritual code, they may be a theta male!

4 Signs You're A Theta Male

Different classes of theta male personality types can differ from one person to another. Here are some signs that might point out that you may be a theta male!

1. Mystic

via: Unsplash / Darius Bashar

Believing in the supernatural or spiritual is a strong sign that you're the theta male of the group. If you find yourself focusing more on trying to appease nature or spirits when you're out camping with your buddies in the wilderness, then you may be a mystic theta male.

2. Ascetic

It's one thing to try to avoid doing something that you will regret; it's another to make sure to practice self-discipline. Theta males famously believe that abstention can be the best form of cleansing. If you work extremely hard to ensure that you don't end up doing something you'd consider bad, then that's a sure sign that you're a theta male.

3. Disciplined

via: Pexels / Allan Mas

Theta males are well-known for their strong discipline. Suppose you can fight off unnecessary urges and temptations, or continuously convince your friends to not do anything they might regret. In that case, that's a good sign that you have some theta male traits.

4. Spiritual

via: Unsplash / Samuel Rios

Spirituality doesn't always mean that you have to always be at church. Praying or believing in dogma or religious text can be a sign that you are a spiritual theta male.

Theta Male vs. Alpha Male

via: Pexels / AlphaTradeZone

The main difference between a theta male and an alpha male is dominance. One of the main signs you're an alpha male is that you have an overwhelming personality trait that makes you seek a leadership role in your group. The strong desire to climb into almost any social hierarchy to become the leader showcases your sign as the alpha male among the pack.

Theta Male vs. Beta Male

via: Pexels / William Fortunato

The main difference between a theta male and a beta male is their general allowance as a follower. Most beta males prefer to be followers over others in the male social hierarchy. Their social status and character traits make them the approachable stereotypical "nice guy" character in a group of friends. Theta males don't actively pursue a follower role, and will happily fit in any role they want. Despite that, theta males and beta males can get along splendidly!

Theta Male vs. Delta Male

via: Pexels / Henri Mathieu-Saint-Laurent

The main difference between a theta male and a delta male is their introverted behavior. Most delta males lack an alpha personality, thus pushing them away from being the leaders or having the least amount of voice in a group. Generally, they have the last say regarding what to do in a group activity. Theta males don't have this issue; their strong beliefs allow them to say what they want and when they want.

Theta Male vs. Sigma Male

via: Pexels / rehman yousaf

The main difference between a theta male and a sigma male is their coolness factor. A sigma guy has this dominant male archetype that people respect and admire, and they do it without even trying. You can find sigma men to be very cunning and calculated with their actions, but like to remain separated from the group and would avoid making decisions as much as possible. Theta males, on the other hand, aren't intrinsically cool, and don't usually show the lone wolf tendencies a sigma male has.

Theta Male vs. Omega Male

via: Pexels / Ron Lach

The main difference between a theta male and an omega male is their free spirit. Most omega males don't care about what others think about them in the socio-sexual hierarchy. These types of men typically only want to spend time having fun with their friends, and don't care whether they belong high or low in the ranks, as long as they're part of the group. On the other hand, theta males live freely, choosing their beliefs and actions freely - they don't need others to be with, as long as they can stay true to themselves.

Type of Women Compatible with Theta Males

via: Pexels / CAMERA TREASURE

Theta males are one of the most self-disciplined types of people. Women that want a man that is not only devoted, but would also do everything to make sure that they won't be tempted by other women, would like to go for theta males.

Compared to other different personality types, theta males are usually set in their ways, and have a clear conscience for their actions which can be impressive to women. Furthermore, their mystical aura and spiritual beliefs are highly attractive to the more spiritually-inclined women.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have any more questions about the types of males in the socio-sexual hierarchy? We've got plenty of answers for you here!

How many personality types are there?

There are 7 main male personality types, but there are other lesser-known personality types, such as gamma males. These personality types usually help show the behavioral archetypes of each character archetype, so it helps to learn about them all.

Are personality types permanent?

Personality types aren't permanent; however, most tend not to change them. However, every person can always make adjustments to their behaviors, and no personality type is better than others. It would take something life-changing to change the type of male archetype you possess.

What is the benefit of knowing my personality type?

Your personality type does not mean that you can only act a specific way! Still, it can help you find people more compatible with your unique traits. However, your personality isn't the only defining factor when it comes to attracting other people. Skills and charisma are things all types can possess.

Is there a bad personality type?

No, personality types typically only show a broader side of the traits that you have as a person. Each type has its strong points as well as its weak points. However, those weak points don't necessarily make you bad. As long as you show your unique way of things, and express it positively, these weak points will no longer harm you, but simply add depth to your character.

They're like family without all the judgment and snide comments, so you can really do anything you set your heart to on a Friday evening. And I'm sure you've already made a lot of core memories with your gang, so why not make more?

This list of things to do with friends will have you rolling till Saturday night.

1. Restaurant Crawl

I love city food walks, especially after a long, tiring day. It's even better if you're doing it in a place that's a melting pot of different cultures and cuisines, such as New York City or New Orleans.

You'll have a lot of dinner options, that's for sure. There is Mexican food, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Filipino, Italian, and African American.

If you and your friends are foodies, a restaurant crawl is definitely a great way to test your taste buds.

2. Go Bowling

In the mood for a friendly match of target sport?

Bowling is a great recreational activity that allows you and your friend to bond and unwind over cold beers, live music, and good-natured jabs.

3. Karaoke Party

How about a mini singing competition with your friends? What I love about a karaoke party is that they have all kinds of stints these days- themed rooms, neon lights, high-quality sound systems, plush couches, dart machines, and foosball tables.

You can literally feel like a star and sing the night away with your friends.

4. Go Camping

Camping is NEVER not a fun thing. If you're tired of the usual New Yorker cityscape, why not get a well-deserved R&R under a blanket of stars? Just make sure you have everything you need to stay comfortable.

5. Go to a Bar

One of the most common ways to spend time with your friends is to hang out in a bar with live music, honest-to-goodness craft beer, and greasy, delicious food. Need I say more?

6. Travel for an Overnight

How about a change of scenery? Perhaps a road trip? Or an Air BNB staycation?

Test your IQ with a round of a brain-boosting game night. There's so much to choose from, so you really can't get bored doing this- Kahoot, Family Feud, Jeopardy, Crowdpurr, and even a special St. Patrick's Day Happy Hour.

9. Cook a Traditional Dish

How about a night of drinking craft beer and devouring sticky barbeque ribs? This is even perfect for when you're hosting a Super Bowl party.

11. Bonfire Night

Whoever said you couldn't have a bonfire at home certainly hasn't heard of a portable fire pit. If you're not the outdoorsy type, you can still have your smores and exchange creepy horror stories right from the comfort of your home.

12. Host a Poker Night

Poker might not be a free thing, but it sure makes a hell of fun. A mind game that will definitely test your strategic thinking and poker face.

22. Do Some Yoga

A mindful yoga session just before you hit the sack is a great way to cool down and officially unplug from the stresses of life.

23. Have a Midnight Picnic

Ever heard of charcuterie boards? If you haven't, hop on to the bandwagon and enjoy it with your favorite red wine and a movie. Thank me later.

24. Go Stargazing

Sigma male movies are full of the stoic toughness and the quiet confidence of its main character. They show us how to be the best versions of ourselves, and help work towards living a life we can look back on and be proud of!

I'm a professional life coach, publishing my ideas on sites like Odyssey, offering up great tips and tricks on becoming your best self. Knowing that, you're in the right place for a handful of sigma male quotes and ideas on what movies to watch!

Ultimate List of Sigma Male Movies That Can Top Your Watchlist

via: Pexels / Karolina Grabowska

Sigma men can always separate themselves from basic social norms that would drown them in a sea of boring men. This list of sigma male movies is a great way to guide young men into the sigma male archetype that can attract almost any woman out there.

American Psycho

Patrick Bateman is a strong, silent, and mysterious character that has an unconventional mindset and stands out from other, more normal men in a traditional social hierarchy. He has this calm and sleek demeanor that plays well with how he does not necessarily seek to draw attention toward himself. This a perfect example of how mysteriously alluring sigma male lifestyles can be.

Joker

One of my best recommendations for a more modern twist of sigma male movies. The Joker is a fantastic movie that showcases the unique perspective of how an introverted alpha male operates. His character breaks the preconceived notion of the problems within societal norms without the need to seek out pride or praise for his actions.

Breaking Bad

If you want a show that shows the dedication and grind of someone pushed to his limits, then Walter White is a great example of a sigma that does what he wants regardless of what people think about him. Breaking Bad is a series that shows how a sigma man will strive to achieve his goals regardless of the need to rebel or follow through the proper channels. A definite must-watch TV series for many.

White Tiger

For guys that want more intelligence and class to their sigma male watchlist, then check out White Tiger. This Indian film focuses on daring the audience to find what a sigma man is capable of, using his wits to escape his life of simple poverty by breaking through the limitations set by social classes.

The Godfather

The Godfather is one of the most well-respected classic films of all time. His acting is a great choice if you are looking to find a powerful sigma movie to sit through and talk about with your friends. I highly recommend this movie as a great start to see the origins of sigma male behavior and how it evolved to what it is today.

Batman

Everyone knows who Batman is. Throughout the various forms of films, TV series, and other forms of media, Batman always strives to keep a cool, calm, and silent character while fighting crime and becoming an icon that everyone still idolizes. My recommendation for the best sigma male version of Batman is none other than Christian Bale's portrayal of the Bat Crusader during The Dark Knight trilogy.

Irishman

This Scorsese American gangster film is a great choice if you want a sigma archetype character that defines cool without even trying. Robert De Niro's acting truly understands the archetype and the little nuances of keeping oneself isolated from people and society entirely.

Nobody

When it comes to films talking about defying the status quo, there are barely any other films that you should watch more than this. Nobody is a great film that shows the power of embracing the sigma male lifestyle. The main character finds that with desperate times comes desperate measures as he strives to find the people that dared attack him and his family.

Taxi Driver

via: Unsplash / Dimon Blr

Taxi Driver is a classic among the sigma male archetype. The movie focuses on protagonist Travis Bickle, and how his work as a cabbie in New York drives him to pursue justice to clean up the city through any means necessary. This film is a great example of how the director Martin Scorsese is the master at making stories about a sigma man.

Faceoff

via: Pexels / Elijah O'Donnell

Faceoff is a terrific movie that shows the willingness of a man to get the job even if he has to do it by himself. The film combines both action and tense thriller while focusing on Sean Archer undergoing facial reconstruction to mask himself as a crime boss and take his empire down. The lone wolf approach of the film perfectly showcases the power and bravado that you want as sigma men are usually capable of.

A sigma male is a man that works or operates outside a traditional team, group, or even social hierarchy. These types of characters tend to exude masculinity while doing their best not to seek desperate approval or attention from other men or women. Because of this, they are often seen as lone wolves - characters with silent toughness and quiet confidence. They don't need to be liked to be cool; they just are.

Why are Sigma Male Films Worth Watching?

Moviegoers that want a film that focuses on a strong, driven character who breaks away from societal norms will enjoy these types of movies. Most sigma male films would showcase deep character-driven personalities that drive them to strive to achieve their goals regardless of any hindrances that may come their way.

There are a handful of ways to approach the question "how to tell your crush you like them?" so it's essential to choose the one that fits your situation and personality the best. No matter which way to use it, start by being honest and being yourself! Keep those two things in mind as you read through this list of how to tell your crush you like them, and you're golden!

#1: The Direct Confession

The confession is one of the most direct ways to tell your crush you have romantic feelings for them. You can initiate the conversation with something simple like, "Hey, I've been feeling this way for a while and wanted to let you know how I feel." Using this method requires lots of courage, but you'll be sure your message was delivered! When opting for this style, express your feelings at the right time and place, or you risk scaring your crush away.

#2: The Subtle Hint

If the "confession" seems too intense, try dropping some hints. Start by complimenting them on their looks or actions to show that you're interested in them, and let them come to their conclusion. You can subtly ask if they're single or casually slip in an invite to hang out. Another subtle and cute way to approach is to try showing them by bringing them a small gift that reminds you of something special about them or writing a poem expressing how your heart feels.

While cliche and standard pickup lines may work, taking the time to personalize your line makes it more endearing.

#4: The Classic Written Letter

The classic handwritten letter never goes out of style for being a romantic gesture. Your letter doesn't have to be 20 pages long, back to back, but even a few short sentences expressing your feelings for them would make the moment special. A letter also gives your crush time to process their thoughts and emotions before responding, so it may be a good idea if you're unsure how they'll react.

#5: The Lighthearted Text

The text approach is probably the easiest way to confess your feelings to your crush. Send them a text and tell them how you feel in simple words. Make sure you don't appear too aggressive or desperate and keep it light!

If you're looking for a slightly more public way to let your crush know how you feel, try posting about them on social media. Share a funny story or post a photo of you two together and wait for their response! Plus, sending a shoutout on social media is perfect for people who love attention. It gives your crush a chance to see how many people are rooting for you as a couple.

#9: The Surprise

This method will require some extra work, but it could be a great way to confess your feelings uniquely and memorably. Plan a surprise date or event for your crush, something they've always wanted to do or been wanting to try out. When it's time for the big reveal, take the opportunity to let them know how you feel.

The signs she's not into you can be hard to spot, but if you're observant enough, you should be able to pick them up. A few of the most common signs that your crush is not into you include:

#1: She's a slow texter.

via: Pixabay / Pexels

Taking an unseeingly long time to respond to a text message is one of the most common signs that your crush may not be interested in you. If she's taking hours or even days to respond, then it might be time to move on and look for someone else. Girls with real feelings for someone will find the time to message back.

#2: She's not invested.

Not investing time, effort, or even attention to you when you're around is another telltale sign she is not into you. Suppose your crush is constantly looking away or not engaging in conversation. In that case, it could signify that she's not interested in starting a romantic relationship with you. However, this doesn't mean a friendship can't blossom instead.

#3: She only texts when she's bored.

via: Pexels / Tima Miroshnichenko

Sometimes, your crush may take a long time to respond to your messages because they only find the "time" when nothing is happening. When people are bored, they tend to look for the best thing to fill up the time, and if responding to your text is one of those things, then it could be a sign that she isn't interested in you.

#4: She doesn't show much emotion.

Girls interested in someone usually show some emotion – even if it's small. Suppose your crush seems indifferent when you're around. In that case, this could signify that she's not interested in having anything more than friendship.

Do you want to know where you rank in the socio-sexual hierarchy?

You're in the right place, because here we will discuss the different male personality types. As a life coach, I've interacted with almost all types of people. Some of my works have been published on The Hobby Craze and Idea Pod, so when analyzing male types, I'm your guy! Today, we'll discuss the male hierarchy; let's determine which one you are.

Let's start!

What is Socio-Sexual Hierarchy?

via: Unsplash / Taylor

Socio-sexual hierarchy is the categorization made by Vox day that separates male personality types into ranks. It classifies men based on their social status, interactions with others, and inclinations. We will discuss the six male types: Alpha, Sigma, Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Omega. The social hierarchy helps us to have a better idea of how men fit into different roles in society.

Socio-Sexual Hierarchy Ranking

Categorizing and ranking male types can seem to be a little discerning for some. It separates men based on their social status and how they interact with both men and women. But look on the positive side; every society has a hierarchy. It ensures that everyone has a certain role or responsibility. It also prevents internal chaos because everyone knows their place. Therefore, it avoids overlapping functions and redundancy.

Alpha Male

Alpha males are at the top of the dominance hierarchy. They are natural leaders; confident, dominant, and charismatic. They can confidently tell others what to do and exhibit unrivaled masculinity. Women find them highly attractive, and other men look up to this type of man. Social acceptance is big, and he loves to be the center of attention. Need I say more? Here are the signs you're an alpha male, for those of you who want to be one.

Sigma Male

via: Unsplash / Taylor Grote

A sigma male is like introverted alpha, because they exhibit lone wolf-like behavior. They're just as successful as the alpha but don't care about the social hierarchy. They prefer to be on their own and out of a social circle. They stick with a few friends that will last for life. They are men who follow their heart's desires, and they don't care about what others may think. Social acceptance is the least of their worries, and they don't conform to social rules. The character John Wick is a good example of a sigma male!

Beta Male

The beta male is a loyal lieutenant to the alpha male. They lack the charm of the Alpha or Sigma, and they prefer to play safe to avoid confrontations. A beta man is loyal and good at carrying out orders. They're usually calm, open to criticism, and rarely aggressive. This makes them highly trusted and appreciated among other types of males.

Delta Male

via: Pexels / zizomagrabi

The most common male personality type is the delta male. These are the average workers of the pack. They aren't especially attractive. Thus, they struggle with attracting women. When they get into a relationship, they become insecure. They worry that their partners will lose interest and leave them. A delta male doesn't have the will to focus and improve themselves without prompt. They survive by associating themselves with an alpha or beta male. Despite their dependence, they can be dependable as long as they have someone to follow.

Gamma Male

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

There are both positive and negative traits of a gamma male. The first common perception of this personality type is intelligence. Gamma males are highly intelligent individuals who sometimes become overconfident. These men are also sensitive and romantic. Apart from these good traits, they are also associated with toxicity and manipulation. Whether a gamma male is positive or negative is determined entirely by how they choose to present themselves.

Omega Male

via: Pexels / Ketut Subiyanto

An omega male is the polar opposite of an alpha. Whereas an alpha male prefers to lead a pack, an omega male tends to stand on their own. Because of this, they are sometimes regarded as social outcasts, geeks, and nerds with no social life. They may sometimes lack social skills and aren't conventionally attractive. However, they can prove themselves quite capable despite choosing to avoid groups. Compared to sigma males, who choose to escape the social hierarchy altogether, omega males are at the bottom - though that does not mean they are inferior when it comes to their specific talents.

Male vs. Female Dominance Hierarchies - Do They Differ?

via: Pexels / Jack Sparrow

Just like men have dominant hierarchies, women also have them as well. There's also an alpha, beta, sigma, delta, gamma, and omega woman. Each of the traits of both genders is very similar as well. However, according to ABC News, women take longer to form hierarchies. They tend to work out a task democratically because they're uncomfortable with taking over their peers. With men, on the other hand, dominance hierarchy seems to come naturally to them.

Factors Influencing Socio-Sexual Hierarchy

via: Unsplash / Maksym Tymchyk 🇺🇦

Our place in the socio-sexual hierarchy depends on how we perceive ourselves compared to others. Some factors influence us to feel we are above or beneath an individual. We'll cover the most common factors here.

Physical appearance

via: Unsplash / Omid Armin

Generally, people prefer a physically attractive person. Just look around you; the celebrities, models, influencers, and endorsers are all good-looking. Most people want to look like them. We perceive good-looking people as more likable than ones with average appearance. While appearance is the end-all be-all for our ranking in the hierarchy, it is generally a good thing to be more attractive.

Status and wealth

via: Unsplash / Pedram Normohamadian

The higher your social status is, the more power you have. It's the same thing with wealth; we admire those people who are rich and stable financially. People see them as leaders and above everyone.

Personality traits

via: Unsplash / Nick Karvounis

A socially likable person gets more empathy from people. Take a look at the influencers on social media. They try to imbibe a specific personality to make themselves stand out. They are all likable for different reasons, and that makes them more attractive.

Social skills

This refers to a person's charisma. People with charisma have a magnetic personality which many people find likable. If one is approachable, knows how to communicate with people, and resolves conflicts, then he'll have a better rank in the hierarchy,

Cultural norms

via: Unsplash / Dollar Gill

We have diverse cultures all over the world. Some cultures choose a leader based on birthright, others through an election. That is just one example of how cultural norms relate to socio-sexual hierarchy. How we perceive an individual's capacity depends on our instilled cultural preferences.

Confidence

This is how you present yourself to others. The higher your confidence, the more likely people will be impressed. Be careful not to be overconfident because that can be your downfall. Confidence shows know that you know what you are doing. Therefore you can be a good candidate for a leader.

Frequently Asked Questions

Humans need a social dominance hierarchy to ensure the smooth execution of tasks. It keeps all the elements organized as everybody knows their role and responsibilities. If you are still confused about this, I've answered some frequently asked questions that may help clarify it further to you.

Can someone change their position in the hierarchy?

Absolutely! A person can rise to the ranks by earning it. The personality and skills required to advance in status can be developed through experience and actions. The key factor is the willingness to change one's position and become a leader rather than a follower.

Does the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy apply to all cultures and societies?

Yes, the socio-sexual hierarchy is prevalent in all cultures and societies. It is an innate trait of human beings to form social status and dominance levels. Have you seen any country that does not have a president, leader, chief, or king/queen? The groups' perceptions fundamentally guide social hierarchies.

Is knowing your personality dominance level important?

Yes, it can be helpful to know your dominance level! It helps you understand your preferences and why you react in such a way to other people. It can be useful in determining one's leadership style and how to communicate with others more effectively. It can also help avoid conflicts. Conflicts tend to arise when there is a challenge of authority, so knowing the main source of the problem can help you work towards a solution.

Is socio-sexual hierarchy has something to do with romantic relationships?

Yes! There are personality types that women find more attractive. Alpha and sigma males are attractive to women because of their success and confidence. On the other hand, omega and gamma are the ones that have a hard time forming relationships. It is due to their awkwardness and some negative traits. The beta and delta sit in the middle. Getting the woman and handling the resulting relationship has a relation with the hierarchy. However, it may be different if you are both into relationship anarchy, where rules and social norms do not bind you.

Have you ever asked, "do breaks in relationships work?"

Sometimes, a relationship gets so exhausting for a person that they ask for a temporary break. You have probably asked, 'should I break up with my girlfriend?' As a relationship expert, some of my works have been published on UpJourney and Shondaland. I will answer the question, 'what does a break in a relationship mean?' As well as, do breaks in relationship work?

Let's get started!

Do Breaks in Relationships Work?

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

One of the most commonly asked relationship questions is, is it okay to take a break in a relationship? Is it the right thing to do?

According to dating statistics, we have gathered that about 57% of women and 51% of men said they are almost certain that their current relationship will be permanent. But, when there's trouble in paradise, do you hit pause or do a full stop? When a relationship can be saved, most people will try to salvage it. One of the things that couples do is take a break. But will it be helpful, or will it just do more harm?

1. What does it mean to take a break in a relationship?

via: Pexels / Keira Burton

Most of the time, people just need to get out of the circle and look at something from an outsider's perspective. Taking a break allows you to re-examine what you need from the relationship. It can also lead to a better relationship between the two of you.

To make it work, it's important to set clear boundaries. For one, you must determine whether to implement a no-contact rule. This could be tricky, though, as this can lead to more disconnect or divorce. Also, set a time period. How much time do you need to breathe or think?

2. How do I make a relationship break work?

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

You need to set clear rules and expectations when you take a break. How long will it last? Will you remain exclusive to each other, or are you allowed to date, other people? These are some things you should discuss to avoid misunderstandings that could damage the relationship.

Another thing is to determine the cause of the break. What is the reason that pushed both of you to decide that it would be best to spend some time away from each other? Until you know the root cause, you will be unable to solve the issue. Lastly, discuss ways how you can work on the problem. Then decide if you are willing to try again. It has to be a mutual decision.

3. Don't take a break to avoid a breakup.

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

Sometimes, people take a break from the relationship when they ought to break up. Some things can be solved by taking a break, but not everything. If you think you have irreconcilable differences and there is no compatibility, it will be best to end it. Taking a break will just drag the relationship out longer.

4. When is it a good idea?

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

Before you take a relationship break, Evaluate your relationship's current state. Taking a break might be a good idea if you or your partner needs a little growing up. One thing I wish I knew about dating in my 20s was that you both need a life outside the relationship. You could feel you are being smothered too much if there's none. A healthy relationship takes a lot of work and two emotionally mature individuals.

Barriers include age differences, clashing lifestyles, and readiness for marriage or children. And different beliefs could lead to a disconnect or troubled relationship. Taking a break will allow you to consider your willingness to compromise. Taking a break might also be good if you feel suffocated with your relationship. That or reach the point of no return. Seeing a couple's therapist can also be helpful.

5. How long should a relationship break be?

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

There is no standard duration on how long should a relationship break be. It depends on the couple on how much time of separation they need to think about things. However, at least three weeks is a good time for you and your romantic partner to take a break. It's long enough to get accustomed to your partner not having around. Then you also need another week to figure out what you've been feeling and your next plan.

Breakup vs. Relationship Break

via: Pexels / RODNAE Productions

The main difference between a breakup and a relationship break is permanence. A breakup is like hitting the stop button and just deciding to end the relationship. It also means that the relationship rules no longer apply. In comparison, a relationship break is a temporary separation of a couple. Take time to think if they want to save and continue their romantic relationship.

A savior complex, otherwise known as white knight syndrome, is what develops when a person's savior mentality becomes dangerously obsessive. What starts as a good thing, such as someone with compassion wanting to give healing to others, can become self-damaging when one ignores the consequences. As a dating and life coach, one featured in Lifehack and UpJourney, I have dating tips in my 20s and experience in deciphering emotions.

What is a Savior Complex?

via: Pexels / Pavel Danilyuk

A savior complex is a psychological construct characterized by an unchecked obsession with solving people's problems and "saving" them from painful situations, to the detriment of one's sense of self and mental health.

Essentially, the person makes it their mission to "save" others, ignoring all the consequences of obsessively trying to better other peoples' life.

It may start with a good intention at first - wanting to come to the rescue of a loved one, for example - but eventually, the feeling of being in a position of power and moral superiority can burrow deep inside until it becomes a deep-seated craving. Eventually, it stops being a good thing as the person comes to seek out people facing oppression or people in dire straits.

The person becomes obsessed with trying to help them… and not for the best of reasons, or even to the point where they sacrifice their own mental health, stressing themselves out trying to solve people's problems, problems which aren't even theirs.

Characteristics of Someone With a Savior Complex

As this article might tell you, a savior complex is dangerous for someone to have. When someone grows addicted to the feeling of being able to help others, they might start searching for troubled people to "help," even if it might do more harm than good. In the worst cases, they might even try to create the problems they want to fix. As you can imagine, it's a big turn off for women and can be why a relationship grows sour. If you're afraid you're developing a savior complex or suspect your partner has one, look for these important characteristics. If more than one applies, there's a good chance they have a savior complex.

1. You really want to change and "fix" some fundamental things about your partner.

When you're obsessed with trying to help people, you start wanting to "fix" people. You begin to look at people exclusively for their flaws - or even perceive some harmless things as things you must fix. This even applies to your partner. Sometimes, you even try to play as their therapist and force your partner or loved one to change when you should instead love them as they are. So, if you're obsessed with trying to make your partner "better" to the point that it damages your healthy relationship, there may be a savior complex in play.

2. You stay in the relationship even if you're unhappy because you feel a sense of responsibility and dependence.

A savior complex isn't just bad for your partner. It can potentially harm you just as much. If you recognize you're in a toxic relationship but refuse to leave it, either out of a sense of responsibility, or the belief that you can fix it, you might be hurting yourself in the long run. Forcing yourself to stay in an unhappy relationship is never a good thing, no matter how much good you believe you can do them. If you've tried to maintain a relationship with a person who refuses to change their ways, it's better for both of you to separate. It's just beating a dead horse if you try to push it for any longer.

3. You feel like you know what's best for your partner – even more than they do for themselves.

via: Pexels / Alex Green

Saving and helping people puts you in a position of moral superiority, which may lead to the misconception that you automatically know better. Then, you start to think that you know what's best for others - no matter the evidence suggesting you actually don't. If you start thinking you know what's best for your partner in all situations, without even bothering to make sure, you'll be looking down on them instead of supporting them. That's never a good thing for a healthy relationship.

4. You treat them like you're interviewing them or "checking up" on them frequently.

via: Pexels / Kampus Production

When you see yourself as a savior, you might start seeing yourself as the only person who can provide healing to a wounded heart. But to heal others, you take in pain they've felt, empathize with them, and try to solve their problems as if they were your own. Eventually, that sort of emotional strain can numb a person. It eventually leads to them seeing people in pain not as people, but as patients. If you start seeing people as patients to be healed, you're dehumanizing them. If you see people only as the sum of their problems and how you can help them, take a step back. You need to see people as people, not as targets for healing.

5. You start paying their financial costs.

via: Pexels / Cup of Couple

One way to "save" a person is to rescue a person financially. In the same way solving another person's problems makes you feel appreciated, helping another person with their financial problems does the same. But obviously, you can't support a person forever, let alone multiple people. If you find yourself paying for people more than you should, you're not saving them - you're just giving them someone to mooch off of.

6. You're working overtime while they sink deeper.

via: Pexels / Pavel Danilyuk

We all eventually learn that not everyone can help people with certain problems, especially if you aren't a professional. You might encounter a problem so big that it forces the person facing it to sink deeper into sadness and depression. And as you try to fix it only to realize you're not able to fix it, you force yourself to work overtime to try and cope. Eventually, you have to realize that you're unable to fix them. Trying to force yourself to solve that problem will only make it worse for both of you. At that point, it's time to seek proper professional help.

7. You look after your partner so much you don't leave enough time for yourself.

via: Pexels / THIS IS ZUN

This is the biggest and most common pitfall someone with a savior complex experiences: devoting yourself so much to helping others that you neglect yourself. If you haven't cared for yourself lately, both mentally and physically, while taking care of other people, you've ironically become the person in need of saving.

Causes of Savior Complex

via: Pexels / MART PRODUCTION

Not everyone develops a savior complex for the same reasons. Like any complex, an event usually triggers its development - this trigger can be any number of things. We'll list a few possible causes below, but bear in mind that just about any event can give birth to a savior complex.

They like the feeling of being able to help people.

via: Pexels / Polina Tankilevitch

One of the most common reasons people develop a savior complex is that they like the feeling of appreciation and moral superiority they get when they help people, possibly even more than they like the act of helping people in the first place. If they helped someone in a big way and get showered in praise and appreciation, especially if they haven't experienced it before, that could trigger an eventual savior complex.

They feel lonely and only know how to connect to people by helping them.

via: Pexels / Alex Green

People with low-self worth and/or poor communication skills may seek others' approval because they feel lonely. If they don't know how to connect with others normally, they may start to think that the only way to feel less lonely is to be helpful. And if they succeed by doing that where other methods have failed, they may start believing that the only way to connect is by helping others.

They see helping other people as a way to gain something.

via: Pexels / Andres Ayrton

Helping other people should be for its own sake, but some people see it as a way to gain something - whether it's as harmless as gaining a friend or as conceited as earning a favor for later. So, some people with a savior complex see helping people as a game - winning something is what they care about rather than being helpful.

Savior Complex vs. Martyr Complex - What's the difference?

via: Pexels / SHVETS production

The main difference between a savior complex and a martyr complex is how important the idea of sacrifice is. For those with a savior complex, the goal is to be able to help as many people as possible while avoiding as much self-sacrifice as possible. But for those with a martyr complex, sacrifice is necessary. Saviors want to be seen as an unflinching pillar of support. On the other hand, martyrs want to be remembered as the person who sacrificed so much for others' happiness. So, while both complexes can hurt the people who have them, only one of the two makes it intentional.

How To Avoid Developing A Savior or Messiah Complex

via: Pexels / Na Urchin

As you're now aware, developing a savior or messiah complex is dangerous. That's why, to prevent the harm that comes with them from happening, we must avoid them in the first place. But how? Here, we'll list some ways you can avoid developing these complexes.

1. Be content with what you accomplished.

via: Pexels / Yaroslav Shuraev

The most common trigger for developing a savior complex is helping someone, usually in a way that gets you a lot of appreciation. When such a good thing happens, you start wanting to do it more, to be even more appreciated. To avoid falling into this, you should be content with what you've accomplished. Don't start thinking you have to do more just to be appreciated.

2. Don't put too much importance on the approval of others.

via: Pexels / Mikhail Nilov

While it's okay to want approval, you shouldn't put too much importance on it. Making it the thing you want most will only put you on the path of pushing yourself harder and harder to try and get it. Spend too long doing that, and you'll end up trying to help people to the detriment of your own mental health. So, while it's okay to want someone's approval, you should earn it naturally, by being yourself.

3. Don't try to help people all by yourself.

via: Unsplash / Priscilla Du Preez

No man is an island, and no one person can solve every problem. Trying to solve everyone's problems by yourself may lead you to believe only you can fix anything and may set you on the path to developing a savior complex. Rather than try to do everything yourself, try asking for others' help. Being surrounded by people who also want to help can stop you from becoming a lone wolf savior.

Frequently Asked Questions

via: Pexels / Dziana Hasanbekava

Have some more questions about savior complexes I didn't cover in this article? I've answered some frequently asked questions down below, so read on.

Is having a savior complex a terrible thing?

Ironically, despite everything I said up until now, it's not the complex itself that is the terrible thing. Wanting to help people is an honest and pure intention. It's the lengths we go to in trying to help people is what's terrible; ironically, we hurt more than we help if we take helping others to extremes.

Does someone with white knight syndrome last in a relationship?

While a white knight may earn brownie points early in a relationship, not everyone is a princess who needs saving. A relationship built only on wanting to come to someone's rescue has little room for actual love. If you're constantly saving someone, can they ever learn anything about the real you? Not only that, there are other types of relationships out there - people who practice relationship anarchy make it so that a white knight has little place in it.

How has social media furthered the savior complex?

Social media has made it so that the people who are oppressed and troubled have more of a voice, meaning that more people, especially those with savior complexes, can hear it. Ironically, social media has proliferated the idea of helping people in need... and in some cases, even to the point of harming the people doing the saving in the first place.

How do you know if you have a savior complex?

The easiest way to know is to look at what you're trying to do or would do and see if those things are being put to extremes. Are you helping people while neglecting yourself? Will you do anything to help people? Are you doing it for the wrong reasons? These questions will reveal whether you have a savior complex or not.

Is the white savior complex similar to the savior complex?

Both the savior complex and the white savior complex are about the same, but with a distinction: a savior complex can develop in anyone. Still, a white savior complex specifically targets white people. The white savior thinks that, because they are white, they are much more capable and talented than people of other races, and thus ironically looks down on the people they're trying to save.

In Conclusion

A savior complex can be a serious problem, not only for the person who has it but also for the people whom the person tries to save. After reading this article, you should now know just how severe it can be. For those who suspect they have a savior complex, there is value in backing off and letting others handle it - so don't take it all on yourself to help others.

We’re here to talk about another useful topic today, and it’s about secrets. We enjoyed watching Troom Troom Select’s video 11 Girl’s Secrets and Hacks Guys Don’t Know About. We were inspired to make our own video of the Top 5 Girls’ Secrets That Guys Don’t Know.

5 Girl's Secrets That Guys Don't Know

I know you’ll be psyched to know the number one secret that guys do know about girls. Let’s see if Larry knows it too. Come on!

5. Caught Off-Guard

via: Pexels / Ketut Subiyanto

Gentlemen, there are lots of things girls wish guys knew. What I’m about to share is one of the most useful things you’re going to need if you want to get the girl. Girls will never tell you this, but they like to be surprised and caught off-guard.

They will tell you that they don’t like flowers or surprise dates. They’ll even tell you that a date at home with movies and pizza is all that they need. Trust me that is not enough.

If you really want to make her feel special, do all the things she won’t ask you to do. I know it may be counterintuitive to do the things she says she doesn’t want, but these are the things she’d appreciate, one way or another. This is one of the attractive hacks that you can do to captivate her completely.

If you want to know how to make any girl fall in love with you, take some notes. Start with working on spontaneity. Surprise her with flowers, just because! Plan an intricate date with her, doing all the things you enjoy or maybe doing something new together.

Bring her lunch or coffee when you know she’s having a particularly stressful day to make her feel better. Do it on a non-stressful day to make her feel even better.

There are lots of situations that you can use to make her feel special. Even when it feels like the cheesiest thing, do it anyway. This is why this is a thing that guys don’t know about. Women don’t want to ask for it because it embarrasses them. It also ruins the authenticity of the gesture when they have to ask for it.

She’ll say she’s alright with simple things, and most of the time, she means it. But there’s also nothing wrong with enjoying surprises and nice plans with the person you like. Give her a chance to enjoy your company. now remember, this is top secret. So don’t mention it to your girl.

To know how to make any girl fall in love with you fast, check out this video.

4. There are a million ways to say no.

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

Gentlemen, listen up. There are things that ladies go through that guys don’t know, and for that, we have to be extra sensitive to them. Learning how to say no is one of the most difficult things that women have to learn. Guys don’t know about the effects of saying no to people who make unwanted offers because they’ve never had to deal with those.

Women, on the other hand, deal with this all the time. because of that, they get creative when saying no. A quick-thinking woman would use all the tips and tricks to get out of an uncomfortable situation.

Let’s paint a picture of the hacks women use to say no. If you invite her for drinks after work, she’ll invite your other friends to come. If you invite her to have coffee with you, she’ll say she has acid reflux and can’t go. If you invite her to the movies, she’ll say she hates them. Even when you just ask a girl’s number at the bar or at a coffee shop, she’ll think of numerous ways to make you go away.

She’ll either pretend she has a boyfriend, or that she’s already waiting for a date, or that she’s not into guys. You wanted to know women’s tricks to avoid men, right?

You’ll know that she’s not interested when you hear her making more excuses to say no, than ways to say yes. Gentlemen, if she’s not interested in you, you’ll see it in the way she treats you.

A girl’s secrets should not be hard to read, especially for guys who know how to use his instincts to identify those attracted to him. You’ll know that she’s trying to send you away because she will literally use every excuse in the book to avoid spending time with you.

3. Looking like a 10 out of 10

via: Pexels / Andres Ayrton

This is one of the many girls’ secrets that guys don’t know. Girls love to dress up and pamper themselves on any given day. But, they won’t ever tell you that they do more when they know they’re going to see the person they like.

If you only pay attention, you will see that she does something slightly different when she knows you’re meeting with her. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t notice anything because sometimes that’s just how good she is at hiding it. If you were to ask another woman, she’d probably notice about ten things different about another girl.

It may be the way she does her eyeliner or the way she styles her hair. Maybe you’ve commented on her fashion sense once upon a time and she styles herself the same way when you see each other. She’ll never admit it, but she’ll go out of her way to make you notice her, if she really likes you.

Do you know what will make her like you even more? Recognize the little changes she makes. Let her know that she looks great with her hairstyle. Or, tell her that the new outfit she’s wearing fits her well.

You could also say that she did a great job with her makeup that day. Take it even further and ask if she did anything different with her eyes or her lips. You’d be lucky if you get something right, but even if you don’t, merely mentioning it will make her feel really good about herself.

These are the things guys do that girls like, so make sure you do this often. Girls love being complimented, and that’s a fact.

2. Are you a manly man?

via: Pexels / Alice Pereira

Gentlemen, whether we admit it or not, our masculinity is important to us. Its value is even more intense especially for guys who grew up with fathers who wanted them to be extremely masculine. But here’s a secret that you might not know about girls...

They don’t love it as much as you do. So if being macho is a big part of your personality, it may be time to reassess your choices. Let’s say you make fun of other guys because they like wearing pink or they listen to female artists on the radio. And when you do, your other guy friends laugh along with you.

Now, that might make you popular among boys, but most of the time, not for girls. Another example of this is when you equate femininity to weakness. When another man shares his insecurities or emotions, a typical macho man would shame him for it, saying that he should stop being like a girl.

Gentlemen, if you want some useful tips for guys, listen up. If being a manly man hinders you from being a decent and respectful person, then it’s not worth it. Don’t say that it’s part of your personality because anything can be unlearned if you try.

She won’t be attracted to you for being this kind of manly. She’d likely be more attracted to you If you’re a respectful person.

1. Copycats aren’t thieves, right?

via: Pexels / cottonbro studio

Have you ever heard a woman compliment another man right in front of you? Something like, “Hey, I like the pants he’s wearing. Those are great pants.” Or maybe, “He has a really nice haircut. I wonder which salon he went to.” You might not have known it at the time, but it’s a hack that women use to influence you into copying that same style or item she complimented.

Normally, you’d think that the woman you’re with has her attention to you. That’s why this hack is so clever. It makes you think of what you need to do to get her attention. This is also one of the hidden signs a girl likes you.

When she wants you to be the best version of yourself, it signals her attraction to you. If she didn’t like you, why would she even bother?

But her complimenting other guys is really just her way of nudging you into better style and taste. She’ll be really proud to be standing beside you if you look like a million bucks.

If you find that girl who goes out of her way to make you feel good, keep her and take her advice, all the time. This is her way of telling you that she likes you. If you want to know more hidden signs a girl likes you, check out this video.

Top Secret That Guys Should Know

Now, you’re all set with the best girls’ secrets that guys don’t know. It’s time to share the top-secret thing that guys do know, or should already know. Gentlemen, women may say that they don’t care about appearances and that your personality is what matters.

But you should already know by now that it’s important to be at your best if you want a girl to like you. Pay attention to your hygiene, guys! Get a nice, clean haircut. Trim and groom your facial hair. Iron your shirts and wear clean shoes. Make an effort to smell good, too! Getting the girl involves a lot of your effort, and it’s time to start now.

Conclusion

Do you have any more hacks guys don’t know about girls that you’d like to share?

Now that you’ve learned all these girls’ secrets that guys don’t know, it will be that much easier for you to get the girl. I don’t know about you, but I think Larry really enjoyed learning about the female mind today. Be reminded though, that this is only the first step to getting yourself a girlfriend.

A little dash of freaky wouldn't hurt anybody, and this list of quirky questions to ask friends is a great way to engage with your followers or send an anonymous question to the person you've always wanted to talk to.

1. Do you think exes can be friends?

Exes being friends isn't always a bad idea as long as they promise not to have any funny business in their relationship. Trust me. You wouldn't want to start a friends-with-benefits dynamic with your ex.

2. Do you find it hard to trust people?

Any person with trust issues would answer yes to this question, but if your Snapchat friend is as gullible as me, he'd probably answer no very quickly.

3. Do you think we spend too much time together or too little?

This is a great question if you're trying to maintain a Snapchat streak with a friend. If they think you're not spending enough time together, it will be a great excuse to keep sending messages to each other.

4. If you could have only kisses OR cuddles for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

If it were me you were asking, I'd say getting either one of them would be awesome.

5. What brings meaning to your life and makes you feel good?

Aside from collecting followers, of course. Everyone has something they look forward to, so this Snapchat story question will get you a lot of interesting answers.

6. What talent do I have that I don't even realize?

32. Do you believe that people should change for their partners?

Relationships take compromise, but no one shouldn't force change. It has to come from you genuinely.

33. How do you know when you're in love?

I know I'm in love when a person compels me to be better than I am. I'm hard-headed, and only a very special person can make me want to change.

34. What one aspect of the relationship would you change if you could?

Relationships aren't supposed to be perfect, but we should all try to make them the best possible.

If you want the no-nonsense approach, the simplest way to ask a question on Snapchat is to upload an image, add text using Snapchat's native in-app editor, and then monitor your inbox for answers.

2. Use a Third Party App

If you're feeling a little extra or want to ask questions without putting yourself out there too much, you can download a third party app such as the YOLO app or NGL app. You'll need to download these standalone apps and connect them to your Snapchat account by logging in with your Snap credentials. After downloading, you'll be able to post a "questions" sticker, which your followers can tap on, type in, and submit their responses.

How safe is Snapchat?

A review from Common Sense Media reported that Snapchat is generally safe for teens 16 and up mainly because of its age-appropriate content and marketing campaigns.

Is Snapchat for dating?

Snapchat wasn't really designed as a dating app, but it's social media, so you're free to do anything you like- add a friend, slide in their DM's, maintain your Snapchat streak, and then invite them on a date. Just don't send any unsolicited and inappropriate pictures. Please keep it in your pants, boys.

Why do girls use Snapchat?

Girls use Snapchat the same way guys do- it's fun. Plus, the filters are just way better and cooler than Instagram.

Can anyone see Snapchat?

Only your followers can view your snaps on Snapchat. You can also customize your privacy settings by clicking the "My Story" icon on the upper right corner of your screen.
