In human societies alpha male can mean very different things. Some use the term to mean the guy who seems most at ease with women and can essentially marry or date any woman of his choice. In this sense the alpha male is often good-looking, has a great build, and may have a relatively high socioeconomic status. These distinctions may be less noticed in human groups like high school settings. Generally the alpha males (or a group of alpha males) are the cutest guys, usually muscle-bound, sometimes the “jocks,” while beta males may be less assured around females and may participate in less “male” activities.
The guys who join math teams or play chess at lunch are usually the beta males and may be thought less attractive by girls. It should be noted that “nerds” (and here we use the term fondly and affectionately), are becoming increasingly popular. As long-term mates or “boyfriends,” they stereotypically on average tend to be nicer and more respectful toward girls. This article also does not imply that all attractive males are necessarily alpha. Alpha males are more about exhibiting traits that are essentially masculine or “macho.” Many attractive males are beta to the core when it comes to relating with people.
In work settings, the alpha male may be a natural leader, exuding confidence. But he also may be contentious, demanding and difficult to work with. This is thought to be in part due to the alpha male attempting to retain his stature, however unconsciously, as alpha. Being the top salesperson, the quickest worker, the most aggressive boss may contribute to remaining at the top, and the alpha male has a tendency to respond aggressively to any attempts by others to outshine him.
Though leaders in a company are excellent to have, alpha male characteristics in the workplace may not always be seen as positive. Aggression and disregard for others are not necessarily inspiring. Some people better lead by being “beta” and having good communication skills, sensitivity toward others, and downplaying their strengths so they can showcase the strengths of others.
In adult social settings, alpha males again may be judged not so much by aggression, but by their ability to get the most attractive women as mates. This is the primary reason for alpha behavior in other animals.
The alpha male in adult society is likely to be confident, attractive, and wealthy. Questions remain as to whether the alpha male can retain mates, since relationships often require ability to compromise, to discuss feelings and to be sensitive. Some alpha males have these characteristics typically thought of as beta, but many of them lack such traits. You can certainly point to prominent alpha males in our society who seem to have poor track records with women, either involving themselves in a succession of failed relationships or marrying one woman after another, with no marriage lasting for very long.
The Alpha Male term is commonly used on the hit TV series Survivor (17 seasons). It's applicable to the muscular, stronger males who may dominate physical orientated challenges. They usually don't get voted off in the beginning (need them for team challenges) but they get voted off in the middle of the show (so no-one faces them at the end). The personalities all vary: some are quiet, low key while others are very abrasive, confrontational. Regardless, these guys stick out in the crowd based on their nice physical features.
As humans, we share similarities to other animals, and thus can reflect social behaviors, such as being an alpha male. The Alpha male, where it is present in non-human animal groups, is a being that has characteristics of "leading the pack" in their evolution. Wolves do it because physical prowess and strength, amongst other things, shows that the species will essentially continue to live and succeed. Alpha females support this idea as well. In human animals, female and male roles can both lead to this succession. Alpha roles should be defined in humans as leaders that promote communal succession (thrive, grow and prosper) that harmonize environmentally with our ecology. Managers are not leaders. Corporations are not leaders. Dominators are not leaders. I suppose this might suggest that these leaders would be a yin\yang balance of beta and alpha for humans.
Then everything includes itself in power, Power unto will, will into appetite; And appetite a universal wolf.Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida.
In everything there is a leader, someone in charge, that person who runs things, the one who stands out from the crowd or pack, that special person whom everyone always seems to look up to and wants them to lead. That is the alpha or number one male. Make no bones about it; the alpha male exists in all species of animals, especially those who cohabit in groups.
At a glance you may think that a pack of wolves or a pride of lions is nothing but a motley collection of wild beasts with no order or system to them. But there is method in their seeming mayhem, as there is a hierarchy, a disciplined order that is never broken, for if it is, punishment will be meted out, swift, just and sure.
Even those wild dogs of Africa, perhaps the most feared hunters because of their tenacity and ability to relentlessly pursue prey until they catch them or the hapless animal simply drops from exhaustion, even they have a social order with the alpha male being in charge. After the hunt, he eats first, and naturally gets the choice cuts. Well, so it is with man, with the alpha male standing out from the rest of the pack, and getting the choice pieces of life, the biggest slice of the pie, and of course the best women. Speaking of women, nature is an equal opportunity employer as some species do have the alpha female, but they are not as numerous as the alpha male. But back to the women.
Didn't I tell you, the alpha male gets the choice females, for that's one of the main perks of being alpha, you get all the fine women. It's good to be the alpha. So throughout history, there have been many notable alpha males, kings, emperors, princes, presidents, dictators, prime ministers, popes, dons, any man who runs things, is in charge, is an alpha male. Some are born to it, others achieve it, while many have it thrust upon them. But those are the obvious ones, the alpha males in the public spotlight whom we read about or see all the time. There are countless others who exist, and here's how to spot them.
The alpha male exudes confidence, that's the most important quality. Without confidence and a great deal of self-esteem, one cannot be an alpha male. With this confidence oozing from his every pore, the alpha male assumes, rightly or wrongly, that the world is his, and everything in it is for his taking.
All before him, especially women are there to do his bidding, and they should be happy, just to be in his company. When he enters a room all eyes shift towards him, women stare in awe, men in dismay and jealousy, for the alpha male is perceived as a catch by women, but a threat by men. "Who is that man who just came into the room?" "I don't know, but he must be somebody, for he acts like he owns the place." In stark contrast, a non alpha male can come and go all of twenty times and no one even notices.
But the alpha male is special. Try and think back to your childhood, or even to the teenage years, and you'll see that alpha males were a breed unto themselves. We’re. they were always appointed form prefects, team captains, class monitors, president of this, chairman of that, executive officer of so and so organization. Anywhere they went; the same guys kept getting leadership positions, while others were just mere drones in the social hierarchy, there to take up space, to follow orders, while the alpha male led. The alpha males were missed if they were absent for even one day, whilst some boys could be absent for an entire term without their absence being noticed. Such is the aura of the alpha male.
With this confidence, the alpha male can approach any female that he desires and put argument to her, usually with a high success rate. This is not to be confused with stupid brash arrogance which is a turn-off. The irony is, women love confident men, and confidence is necessary to approach women, so the alpha male simply cannot lose. Haven't you noticed how some men always manage to get the prettiest, brightest and best women, all the time?
That's because they are alpha males and women are drawn to them. In stark contrast, many men, even with the biggest houses, fanciest cars, large bank accounts, still can't get quality women, but resort to 'buying' pretty, trashy gold-diggers instead. Even in the jungle the females will only mate with the alpha males, for they know that the lineage will be strong.
Some societies call it class, and a classless person who wins the lotto and becomes suddenly wealthy is still a classless person, but now only with money. So you can't become an alpha male through instant riches, it's cultivated. Nobody wants a second-rate, yub-yub, pop-down, low-life man, but would rather be with the alpha male. So the alpha male gets the pick of the females and sires their young. The females are in their power, have no control and are inexorably drawn to them, like the moth to the flame, as they lose control. "I just can't help myself, I know that he has a history with women, and that he uses and discards, but I just can't help it, I'm so drawn to him." Such is the allure of the alpha male.
The alpha male knows how to dress. Not one for gaudy, garish, outlandish, outrageous clothing, he is the master of casual yet elegant understatement but can step up to a stylish suit when necessary. Usually it's those alpha wannabes who dress like peacocks on crack and would be called poppy show by the older folks. With nothing to offer, they depend on their loud clothing to make a statement for them. The fabric screams, "See me here, I'm right here, look at me." The alpha male does not do that, and is usually a picture of sartorial elegance, always well put together, well groomed, and properly colour-coordinated.
You will definitely not see an alpha male in a green shirt, red pants, brown shoes, polka dot tie, diamond socks and a pink handkerchief hanging out of his back pocket. That's no alpha male, that's a secondary joke. Even so, alpha males do not spend all their time grooming themselves and trying to be the ultimate metro sexual. Alpha males are real men, and know that it's natural to buss a sweat now and then and get down and dirty. Alpha males are usually into sports and recognize that the body is a temple and must be respected and kept in good condition. In most cases the alpha male excelled in sports and did well at the prep, primary and tertiary levels. Usually they still participate long into their working life, still finding time to run up and down, adhering to the principle that a fit mind and fit body go hand in hand.
Masters of time management, the alpha male has others looking on in awe and saying, "But how does he find time to do so many things?" Alpha males have a joie de vivre, a zest for life, a positive attitude that invariably lands them in top managerial positions. Alpha males are always in demand, leading some people to say, "But how him so lucky, always getting those great positions?" But it's not merely luck, for the alpha male creates his own luck and turns adversity into opportunity. Take away all that he has, and he will acquire it all over again, plus more.
Alpha males are not overconfident, but also know their limitations. They know what they can do and what they cannot do. So what they cannot do themselves, they delegate to others. That's why alpha males are good managers. Now it's not a question of being handsome, tall, muscular, bright or overly educated that makes an alpha male, but rather an air of confidence, a sense of calm, high self-esteem and a penchant to take charge of situations. Like I said before, some are born to be alpha males, others achieve it, while some have it thrust upon them through situations beyond their control and just have to assume the mantle of confidence, leadership and authority. The alpha male is a special person..
