Alpha Males

Alpha males, unique creatures whose definitions are different depending on who is using it. I am thinking of those men who have attractive, looming physiques and personalities. The kind of guy no one can ignore.

They stand out wherever they go, are generally natural leaders and very dominant people.

They can also be pretty demanding, sometimes loud, used to getting their own way and rather intolerant of people who get in their way, which is not to say they are mean, or cruel.

They are never shy and retiring unless they decide consciously to be that way. In fact, they are most likely to be the one running any show they are at, whether it is theirs, or not. It is just not in their make up to be anything except what they are.

I think alpha males have to be born. I don't think you can manufacture one no matter how hard you might try. They seem to have an innate sense of who they are built right in and it is unalterable, no matter what happens in their lives.

Being comfortable around one requires a certain kind of woman. First and foremost she must understand who he is and then she must be able to support him while remaining very strong herself. Not necessarily an easy thing to do, because he will have no part of someone who does not respect him and yet his respect requires strength of character.

Brilliant, strong, funny, dominant -- alpha males...
