In many comedies, the straight man is the alpha male and the comic is the AFC- examples- Dean Martin = alpha, Jerrry Lewis = AFC, Bud Abbot = alpha, Costilou = AFC.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Worst examples of AFC'S in Movies....

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Very true, but remember his role in the movie is to provide a contrast with the other guys. Definitely an archetypal AFC, but the movie was anything but.MikeYikes122 said:

Another movie that deserves recognition as the worst movie of all time goes to "along came polly" with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller.
It was disgusting and sad. Please NEVER watch that movie... EVER!!!

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
true stiffler was THE DJ 
well for starters: Every male character in a romantic movie is an afc.
The fact that they get the girl at the end is no excuse because well everything is a movie and the chocolate lobby wants to turn us guys into softies who buy the girls chocolates and flowers >> im on to you!!

Good points, but AFC stands for AVERAGE frustrated chump. Milton is far far from average and not in a good way. A better example from OS would be the main character before he gets hypnotized.BlakeW5 said:

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
It's only in AFC movies that an AFC gets the girl...and an AFC is so AFC..that he thinks after watching that AFC movie AFC is the real way to be...
Guys, we are reaching totally at a new level of swearing using this word AFC...

Howard in "In The Company of Men" - his direct opposite is Chad. Anyone wanting to see two extreme examples of opposite sides of the spectrum needs to watch this movie.

The character played by Patrick Dempsey in Sweet Home Alabama. She picks the masculine country boy over the preppy city guy.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is the best scene from Swingers:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmcJ7Zg5ko&feature=related
"I don't want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone's *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you're not sure whether or not you like yet. You're not sure where he's coming from. Okay? You're a bad man. You're a bad man, Mikey. You're a bad man, bad man. "

I just watched some of that movie "Redline," and I gotta say that was soo painful to watch. I mean the way it went from allright to the brother dying (I think he was the best in the movie) and then the girl taking over and just screwing the boss at the end was just sooo bad.
I mean I can see what you guys are saying by the "Brainwashing," of movies these days and now I can see it in "Stomp the Yard," as well.
I guess once you can see how bad society is and how men are portrayed in the majority of movies you can see WHY the male gender is going downhill.....damn.
