First off I don't care what other people think of me I'm pretty open about my lack of self esteem. However that don't make me an alpha, just disinterested in social shit as it's not benefiting me at the moment.I use to be insecure and shit but in the last year I've matured 23 and come to terms with myself just trying to figure out at the moment how to fix my obsessive nature. Anyhow I think alpha's are like being rich great to be shitty to support. I love arnie think he's great just wouldn't wanna be the guy supporting him.
And remember alpha's a social definition so it would automatically include a social context. I think what your a adressing would be the real man Ideal, little self concern with his own personal appearance, or what others think of him. You'll find this was the norm with men past 30 back in the day had nothing to do with their role in the group.
I'm a strong beliver the contrast between a nice guy like xerses and a guy like groink is that imtimadation, and manipulation are not in his tool kit. Remeber this was a word taken from the animal kingdom to define men who took the role of alpha animals, and not some sort of philosophical ideal. Point is alpha males are the type of guys that gets what he wants,(logic would imply someone loses.) focus of attention (by taking it away from others), terriotorial, and gets the women again(less pussy to go around, as unless your poping women out of thin air someone ain't getting laid.
Remember I don't think these guys are bad quite the opposite it's part of a healthy soceity and they only do it because women embrace it. Again there nothing wrong with being a nice guy. There costs and perks either way you can't have it all. (basic relization of men that your ego can't consume all happens around 25 for mostmen.)
