They don't exist, those beta males that cuck themselves, nosebleed at the sight of skin of opposite sex, where they absolutely would never touch a girl for whatever the fuck reason, even when the girl clearly wants it.

Its time for alpha male MCs to appear, please fix the anime / manga industry.

Watch some 90s anime op. This trend is good for otaku, don't know why though, it's something some guys enjoy so it won't disappear easily. I don't like it personally.

kind of agree with this though.

imagine if the MC of Nisekoi is an alpha male, the manga probably ended up in 15 chapter. just man up, give 7-8 chapter of development, then blam, confess, the end.

there’s like a special attraction for beta males, i dunno why they always need to make the girls to be the one who proactive like boy make a real move or else, life isn’t easy as harem life, but well it’s fiction, can’t help it.

but for real though, skinship in Japan is a rare sight, they just following their own culture

if you want, you can see a lot in Shoujo manga though, you know, those 2 meter tall famous sasuke haired alpha boy that everybody likes in school that kind of type.

The issue your running into is because your not understanding Japanese culture. Since anime is solely intended for a Japanese audience we are unlikely to see many so called "Alpha" males as these would be seen as arrogant, rude and more likely to be a villain. Chivalry as it were is not quite dead in Japan as being humble/modest and prioritizing the groups well being over one's self. I know for a western audience this is a hard concept to swallow. However if we are to continue consuming this form of media... its nut up or shut up as someone once said.

Well, that is kind of a cheat since the visual novel industry does have a lot of alpha males.

OT: Eh, they are entertaining in their own right, but it's not like we don't get alpha males here and there. Also, alpha and beta doesn't necessarily involve how they interact with women.

In the animal kingdom: a physical form of dominance over other males. The alpha male lion claims sexual rights to all females, fights off other male lions to force it, eats first after every hunt and dominates the land for hunting rights.

Which is why I don't watch seasonal romcoms or harems. I also despise Gary Stus as well so I'm out here dodging both ends of the spectrum. Anime is so abundant and expensive to make that studios have to pander to make sales. If you keep getting beta males MCs and light novel harem trash, it's because the Japanese and international audience support them financially.

Okay I can understand most people viewing alphas as cocky douche males, but I don't believe this to be the case. Not everyone irl is an alpha nor a beta, but the way most males are portrayed in anime / manga is that of a complete weak minded wimpy male. If in the appropriate situation a woman throws herself at you, there is no guy that would decline such event, unless you are gay of course.

It wouldn't hurt to have an MC every once in a while with a spine. Doesn't have to be an alpha just a regular dude

How about watching anime whose appeal doesn't start and end with the MC grabbing pussy or not? Always worked for me, never had any of those issues you describe in over 4000 anime.

But if you're gonna stick with that kind of anime, you gotta accept the formula they use.
I probably regret this post by now.

Start watching stuff from the 1980s and 1990s, then, OP. Especially the ultra-violent GAR stuff.

Dirty Pair: The Movie, the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Century Orguss, Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D (he outright refuses because he's a BAMF and doesn't want to eat people), Fist of the North Star, Golgo 13, Crying Freeman, Ninja Scroll, etc.

When people start caring about the (male) MC and considering him as an actual character rather than a plot device to explore the various female characters around him.

So...never...

On a more serious note, there is definitely a paradigm shift in recent years (from my observation it started around 2005) from having more traditionally heroic MCs to indecisive weak-willed doormats. Recent anime chooses to focus more on the female characters since that's what generates more profit with otakus spending hundreds of dollars on figurines of their waifus.

In short, unfortunately most mainstream anime won't satisfy your tastes. If you are looking for more traditionally masculine main characters you should watch either older anime or more obscure shows.

I know from experience since I've had the exact same problem as you with anime for years now (since around 2005 as I said earlier). I've had long periods of time (year or two) when I don't even follow anime and then I've come back to it just to check whether this annoying trend has finally disappeared. So far...it hasn't.

When a large portion of the target audience isn't Betas.

People self insert onto characters they find similar to themselves. That's why harems with bland "nice guy" mcs are so common.

Can you actually name some recent anime where the male mc is a cuck? The only recent cuck anime I can recall is Kuzu no Honkai. A man restraining himself to a nude women is strength not weakness. If she knows her oppai has power over you are as alpha as a tv remote.

This is exactly what pisses me off. Why do people think all nerdy geeky people are betas? You can be nerdy / geeky and have amazing romance life, this isn't the 80s 90s when highschool jocks push the nerdy kids into the trash bin. If you are not a bit nerdy or geeky in todays world you will not go far in life considering everything revolves around technology.

you can enjoy anime, read manga, be a complete nerd and still go out of your house and enjoy life. Not everyone is a shut-in that spends most of their time on their room. Give the nerds some credit please

You got a legitimate concern but MAL community thinks that Alpha males = stereotype for
'toxic masculinity'.

Also otaku soyboys would rather watch self-insert CGDCT like K-on!than any manly anime.

As you've already known, Onii-sama is the deconstruction of beta male MC. In anime he is portrayed, at least, as alpha yet the vast majority of viewers are beta thus degrading Onii-sama as such for their own clouded opinion.

I swear anime over the past 10ish years has proven to me thanks to the the self insert retarded beta wussy crap is jap men are the biggest p***y weak ball-less good for nothing waste of space the world would be better if they were taken out of the gene pool. What a sad sack of shitshow losers i mean what kind of useless crapfest of a person could literally and honestly self insert themselves and see themselves as these pathetic beta 2 inch peck no balls ridiculous sad MC.

All I can say is these beta males MCs must really be representative of certain weebs for people to hate them so much. I admit that the sad life they have is pretty exaggerated. But I doubt every guy in the anime community have girls knocking at their door all the time. Nor have they always been confident when speaking to girls.

What’s frustrating is when female characters clearly expressed love interest with the beta males after spending some time together but those males never gets the hint and freak out.

Who came up with that rubbish? The most socially inept and introverts isn’t gonna act like that after spending time with each other so this is unrealistic.

Those are the very same betas who behave like lieutenants with everyone and beat OP villains for a living but will suddenly behave like a toddler when a woman show affection. How absurd and this is one major reason why anime always gets a bad ending.
