This is where jungs archetypes come in. Unpacking the mold as they say. Lol

The concept does not match reality. It is shallow and categorical to fit an archetype. It is a sign of lack of complexity and lack of maturity. Most alpha males and alpha females are millions of facets. This leads to the demise of the false honeymoon effect because the concept does not value the person because it values how well one fits into the mold or seat. It is where cheaters arose. The slotting into categories is caste system mentality.

Do they categorize other people? Is there a fundamental lack of complexity and nuance?

It is called one of the hallmarks of narcissism. The cheaters way. The desire game.

Remembering men and women have lost much of their abilities through desensitization because of environmental conditions that cause a foreign barrier with none to point the way. Microbe and hormone probs lol
