What is an Alpha Male?
What is an Alpha Male?
Everyone wants to take charge of their life, providing themselves with dominion over their sphere of influence. Men are no exception to this rule.
If you’ve ever watched any TV show about animals, you know that many animal groups (like lions, wolves, elephants, etc.) have what is known as the ‘alpha male’, or the dominating male figure that sets the pace for the rest of the animals in the group.
This male leader takes charge; it decides where to hunt or where to graze and when to pick a fight or when to run. The other animals in the group seem to follow what the leader does, and or the most part, respect his position of authority.
They also protect the people around them, especially the ‘women and children’, from roaming males that might have entered in to their land.

It’s Good to Be King
Being ‘alpha male’ comes with a lot of responsibility. In the case of lions, the alpha male has unlimited mating rights with all the lionesses in the pride in exchange for protection.
He gets the first choice at meal times and always eats first. In fact, he can enjoy all of his Kingly duties, as long as he can hold the position and protect it from any other male that might be interested in taking it from him.

Humans and Animals: We’re Not So Different Alpha males are few;
that’s why you won’t find more than one alpha male in a group. Any growing or nomadic males that are interested in taking over an animal group will have to face the Alpha to a fight, one on one, for the position in the animal pack.
This doesn’t mean that he’s the only male in the group; the other males (beta males) are simply submissive to the overpowering presence of the alpha male and don’t challenge his domain as a result.
Most females of an animal species prefer an ‘alpha type’ male males that exhibit certain characteristics that prove he’s not only strong, but smart and protective enough to keep their group safe.
Human females are no different; on some base level, most women are attracted to the types of men that exhibit the same features as an Alpha in a pride of lions.
Having the ability to have offspring with an ‘alpha’ that is strong, smart, and quick are all desirable traits to have in a lion cub, and just like the lionesses in the pride, human women also locate men, ‘alpha men’, that exhibit the same sort of qualities to not only protect their children, but also pass on those traits through the generations.
So, what the difference between being the ‘nobody beta male’ and the Alpha male who calls all the shots in their life? According to the Cambridge dictionary, an Alpha male is the most powerful and most successful in any grouping; this is why every man wants to be that man and has the potential to be the Alpha that they desire so much to become.
Although the Cambridge’s definition may seem simplistic, it speaks volumes in it’s simplicity. Being the Alpha isn’t about being the most arrogant or insensitive.
It’s not about manipulating people or being selfish. Being an Alpha is about taking charge of your masculinity, to live like the man you want to be, and being in control of the situations around you.

Be an Alpha
Many women prefer men who ‘act like men’. Unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, where you have to prove that you are the Alpha by kicking everyone’s ass to hold your position, being a human Alpha is significantly more involved.
You won’t have to show off your manly prowess by fighting (lions), running fast (wolves), or dye your skin a bright color (peacocks). As a human Alpha, you’ll be required to have a strong ability to connect with and lead people by displaying your expertise in a certain field, using your life experiences as an example to teach and guide others, and being ambitious enough to show theses fine aspects of yourself to the people around you.
The Alpha is in control, and this helps put people at ease and feel safe. A human Alpha exudes confidence and an overpowering charisma. It’s these characteristics that command respect from the people around them, regardless of gender, and draws women to find the Alpha more attractive on a primal level as they look for good, strong genes to pass on to their offspring.
The Alpha is the kind of guy who gets ‘first class treatment’ everywhere he goes. His attitude and confidence demand respect and superior treatment without even asking for it. He is the guy who gets the bartender’s attention at the club without having to flag him down for a drink.
He is the kind of guy who people ask advice from, even if he has no real knowledge on the topic because he exudes an aura of power and authority by the way he carries himself. The way he looks, the way he talks, and the way he is around other people is what makes him so special.
It’s not just about ‘getting laid whenever and wherever you want’; it’s about taking responsibility for your actions and mastering yourself to the point of being in control of everything around you.
You can be the best pickup artist there is, but a real Alpha will ‘take your pack’ from you every time if the people around you don’t respect or trust you. An Alpha’s pack know that he is someone that can be counted on, even if it’s hard, and he won’t back down in the face of a challenge.
Unlike animals, Alpha men know how to draw the line between arrogance and confidence. He can differentiate between being assertive and being unnecessarily aggressive. He doesn’t boss people around, but rather, leads by example.
He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and he has 100% loyalty from his pack because he is completely loyal to them. His influence comes from within; he doesn’t have to make people around him feel bad about themselves in order to lift himself up.
He’s not threatened by others. After all, he doesn’t have anything to prove. In fact, he’s likely to help lift others up, too, because a strong ‘pack’ is good for everyone involved, Alphas included. An Alpha lives on his own terms and does not let the circumstances around him dictate the kind of life he should live
. Every challenge presents an opportunity to an Alpha, and in his life there are no obstacles, only new windows of opportunity.
He isn’t the kind of guy who whines all day at work because he got a flat tire in the morning; he fixed it without a problem.
If he didn’t know how, he doesn’t make excuses for his inadequacies because he finds solutions for every obstacle that comes his way.

The Alpha and his Women
To many men, approaching a woman in most scenarios is overwhelming, daunting, and sometimes even brutal. Alphas don’t just fantasize about the woman they want, they show he why she’d be a fool not to be with him.
Men that aren’t Alphas justify their cowardice at approaching women is ‘another guy’; we’ve heard it all before, ‘How can she like that guy?’ Are you that guy? Are you unlucky with women?
Do you feel like you are pitied by those around you? Are you manipulated or taken advantage of in your work space or your life? As an Alpha, you’ll have the confidence to the women you want to be around.
If you can challenge your inner Alpha and are confident of yourself, you’ll find women drawn to you. You’ll be the ‘hot guy that everyone wants’ instead of looking at the ‘hot women that you know you have no chance with’.
Alpha Doesn’t Mean Asshole The kind of Alpha we are discussing in this book isn’t the guy who will step over everyone to get what he wants. Being an Alpha is not about being arrogant or bullying people around you.
An Alpha shouldn’t be close-minded, domineering, or so macho they don’t care about their appearance, either.
Don’t misunderstand; being a considerate Alpha doesn’t mean that you should be so accommodating that other people (especially women) can manipulate you.
If you want to be an Alpha, you have to be the guy who has the perfect blend of power, charisma, charm, humility, and demands respect from everyone the moment he enters a room.
He is the ultimate picture of security, good health, masculinity, strength, and confidence with a life that is exciting surrounded by perfect order. In short, the Alpha knows how to keep his shit together, without whining about it.
