> [@Zealous](#): > > As I said earlier, the concept of an being Alpha has been distorted beyond proportions. People have the idea that an alpha is merely the leader of the pack and HAS to dominate whatever supersedes his path. Being is alpha a WAY OF LIFE, a true alpha does not have to be beta at all times as once again, if he is congruent with his inner beliefs and knows the difference between his direct and indirect intentions, as well as being in control of his state of mind, actions and reactions and lastly, of his decisions. An alpha has the ability of increasing his value whilst increasing the value of others around him instead of deducing the value to make himself feel better, which is far from alpha. The equivocal value increase of both you and others creates a Paradigm Shift. In conclusion an alpha is truly a MAN. And thats what women truly die for, A real man. Well said. I couldn’t have put it any better. ---

The equivocal value increase of both you and others creates a Paradigm Shift. In conclusion an alpha is truly a MAN. And thats what women truly die for, A real man. We used simply call such a state of being a _man_, in contrast to being a weenie, pussywhip or nutless fool. But I suppose popular culture evolves and “alpha” sounds more lofty than man. I prefer to think of myself as a man and not an alphabet (or character from a dog pack hierarchy). Okay Kuhuna kinda tickles mah pickle. Back in the day I often referred to my college roommates as boozers and stoners. Of course now it’s more PC to label them as substance abusers. Seems to elevate them to a higher realm of existence. Mankind = Alphakind. Manhood = Alphahood. ---

> [@Gegogi](#): > > Most things are not plain black and white. Agreed; context is important, as indicated in the following recent report. “…women prefer low dominance in most circumstances, but prefer higher dominance when such behavior is appropriate or necessary in the current social context (e.g., an explicitly competitive interaction). In sum, women’s mate preferences for dominance may be so highly context specific that trait rating studies that do not specify contextual factors may largely mischaracterize the effects of dominance on men’s attractiveness.” Full text 2009 article at the following URL: [http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/topics/courtship/target%20specific%20mate%20preferences\_lukaszewskironey2009.pdf](http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/topics/courtship/target%20specific%20mate%20preferences_lukaszewskironey2009.pdf) James V.
