Who doesn’t love an alpha male? He is tall, elegant, classy, persuasive, in control of his surroundings and most likely he is behind that major corporate merger or fallout he reads about. But he is a man of mystery, especially when it comes to dating and love. These days, our American culture has all but crucified the alpha male, who is generally seen as stocky, muscular, with sharp facial features, a hairy chest, and dark, seductive eyes. Ads now show more beta men: smaller, feminine, more passive.
Every man wants to be an alpha male, but few are chosen. Bill Clinton is the poster boy for the modern alpha male. Donald Trump, Sean Combs, CEOs, Executive Vice Presidents and the like can be alpha males. George W Bush is not an alpha male.
Alpha males are difficult to contain and remain committed to. But they are providers and they find meaning in their role as men, and they need a woman who can complement their role. He is not the typical man. Alphas can be quiet, reserved, reclusive, and disengaged. They are best when asked to lead at work, at home they tend to “give in”, but he is a quiet force. Another thing about alpha males is that they don’t talk much. He believes that no matter how confident and assertive a woman appears, she can never be more of a man than he is. An alpha male is not intimidated at all. He welcomes you.
When an alpha female sees an alpha male, she can smell his unique pheromones from a few feet away. She is taller, walks differently and feels totally vulnerable. She wants to be conquered. That’s what an alpha male can do.
What the alpha male loves, among other things, is the alpha female. She is the one who protects the genetic integrity of his gene pool. He understands that. He understands his mating needs with a virile, protective and financially secure male. She understands the value of success not only at home, but also in business, because that’s what matters most to her, it’s what makes her love her alpha male, and he knows it. The drive, the passion, the goals is what he feeds on. It’s his engine oil. In the mating process, the Alpha male, when there is no Alpha female (because there are few) will choose what is left. The alpha female’s role is to crush her female competition and make the alpha male accept her by “genetic monogamy.”
