Trick question: both of them!
Isn’t it funny how our reflexive reaction to scenes of non-chivalrous behavior by men is to view them as intrinsically alpha? There’s something deep in our primitive subconsciousness that tells us “this cocky bastard must be the Grand Poonbah to be able to ignore polite convention and convince girls to wait on him hand and foot”.
Remember, girls are thinking the same thing. Which is why it works.

Baseball Cap Bro: Cigarette in hand, stronger pose, looking off into the distance while his woman quietly rows.
‘Beater Bro: Has glasses, relatively weaker sitting position. Looking same direction as his girl.
Baseball cap bro has the edge in this moment in time. And IMO, beaters aren’t a good look if you’re on the scrawny side.

No Way. They are not alpha. Maybe it is racial bias. But those are pansy ass wimps.
I may give the guy with a cigarette/staring at other man’s girl an alpha, but sure as hell not limp arm/grandma glasses back there.

Given that the scene is in East Asia, I think we could give grandma-glasses guy a pass.

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe both women are the guys’ sisters.

My immediate guess was that the guy who was looking at the other guy’s girl was more alpha. The other guy was too content with one girl, at least as far as that split second snapshot could suggest.

I’d give blue hat a slight edge for putting his woman in the correct rowing position, the other girl isn’t going to be able to generate any force from way back there.

Yes, stern first is ass backwards 🙂 He’s the one in the rower’s position, which means either they know nothing about rowing or he was rowing and now she’s taken over! lol

I’ll argue that the one with the cap is way more alpha body-language wise. The wife-beater wearing dude seems anxious.

Guy with the wife beater is in the rowing position. If his girl was rowing, she’s moving the boat the wrong way. The reality of the situation is that this picture was taken while he was taking a break, he’s clearly tired and slumped over. His girl is just holding the paddles still.
You’re missing the bigger picture by only focusing on their body language.

+1 on taking a break. Girl is going to be having problems rowing from that position.

Well, you´re welcome. Thought you´d like the pics the second I found them.
Though I used it rather to point out the thug love they all crave and mistake for alpha, even when it´s such an obvious facade.

It is the hardest thing to let go of notions like the man should always take the wheel, and that to let the girl row would be to give her the power. The old saw also applies in reverse: with great responsibility comes great power, or so I want to believe.
My cultural “programming” with feminist/equalist ideas is comparatively shallow . It was always only of an intellectual kind. My desire to be in direct control of the boat is much more emotional and deep set.

Unless they banged them on those boats, they are not alpha. I don’t see anything alpha in a man who agrees to go to this boring boat crap. Also, their seating position and limp bodies. Lean back, idiots.
What probably happened is that they were rowing for some time until girls screamed something like “let me try, I wanna row lol!”.
LikeLike
Agreed.
These are herbs whose “girlfriends” keep them around as validation buddies so they can play the male in their relationship like they do in their careers.
Saw a couple like this yesterday. Guy was a total dipshit holding his pants up as he watched “his” girl check the oil in their car. One sniff of actual alpha and she’d be gone in a flash, at least until that alpha showed any beta characteristics, then she’d be back with another herbly wannabe thug.

lol at smoking when the chick will be huffing an puffing for fresh air as she rows.

Yes, I’d say they both are, to some degree. One with the cig is checking another girl out, but his woman doesn’t look too happy and engaged with him. But at least her facial expression is submissive rather than challenging.
The one with wife-beater is skinnier and more energetic, and while he seems slightly slumped, let’s see you sit in a backless chair on a boat for awhile, and sit up straight without looking like a prig. Also, while he isn’t big, his arms seem defined and at least he ain’t wearing some libtard John Lennon type spectacles. Seem more like sports eyeglasses with unbreakable frames.

Is it really an alpha behaviour letting the women in the driver seat?! Most beta’s I know let the women drive their car’s while they sit in the passenger seat, most alpha’s still insist that they should be at the wheel.
LikeLike
It depends.
Alpha’s like to be in the driver’s seat by virtue of their own conviction in themselves. They know that they have better control, senses, and reflex, and have a higher chance of survival if they were the ones driving.
Betas would probably insist to be in the driver’s seat just for the merit of seeming Alpha. I wouldn’t mind chillaxing in the passenger’s seat if the girl knew where she was going.

I’d have to disagree and say that both these guys are beta as fuck. Physical things like rowing boats are the province of men. But then again, I guess now it’s all good for men to wear shirts with glitter on them and listen to soft ass emo rap (Drake). Women in love will let guys get away with a lot of shit, but abdicating the position of physical dominance isn’t one of them. Both chicks are pretty cute, but I can guarantee that they’re both candidates to end up fucking around on the side.

Neither. Rowing a boat in a situation like this can also be a demonstration of vigor and strength by a man. I mean, do you really want a woman to waste the afternoon rowing you across a pond when there are more interesting ways to spend time? From the looks of the women, their eyes would probably be drawn to a male effortlessly stroking past at four times the speed without breaking a sweat. Rowing a row boat does not make you a galley-slave by implication. And yeah, the guy in the wife-beater looks like he ran out of steam. His girl would be ready to leave after seeing an Alpha row past at ease and with speed.

The whole pioint is to have her pull her weight and yours. She does it because she thinks it is something she is doing for you. When at the right moment you give her the “here I got this I don’t want us to be late” and then you row back. Alphas don’t row shit and if they do it damn sure isn’t going to be with some chick in the boat unless it is to take her to some cove to hit that ass.
