Re: The 'so-called' Alpha Male ... or is it a silly child ?

I seem to be attracted to the opposite in life, would think an alpha male very dull in comparison to my knitting, rug making, baker who is happier cuddling our chihuahua and being a lovely kind dad to the kids.

I've had to remove that link because I'd not read it through properly and I disagree with a fair amount of it, especially the bit about all men wanting to be one !

I think it was describing the male chauvinist pig and can not believe that anyone with a decent brain would aspire to that.

Some blokes were originally "Beta Males", but are now Alpha, due to being prescribed Beta Blockers.

I remain confused for the moment.

Decades ago, I thought I knew one and we couldn't stand each other and in later years, I discovered that he had had a lot of problems in his life.

He is also gay, but I didn't know at that time.

Re: The 'so-called' Alpha Male ... or is it a silly child ?

5. There can only be one female alpha per cluster.

What happens when there are two female alphas in an office? One word: Disaster. Or, maybe two words: Disaster and Drama. The female alpha with the higher degree of alpha-ness usually takes charge and the second alpha female backs down–well, seethes, plots revenge and then backs down. In social groups most of the female drama comes when there are two alpha females competing to be the social conductor and non-alpha females (or alpha females to a lesser degree) are not sure who to follow.
