When people grow up, they carve their own paths, they make their own stories, having people around them as characters in an epic about their lives. And in turn, they are also just characters in somebody's epic. So I really don't know what people mean when they say ''alpha males''. I always think of wolves when I hear that term. Girls each have their unique preferences in guys just as guys have in girls.
i'd like to think this is the case.
however, in adulthood, it doesn't go away. instead the dynamics of the phenomenon just shift.
in the workplace, there are alphas and betas (male, female, it doesn't matter). we've all seen the guy who gets all of the promotions, the raises, the praise of his supervisors...yet he deserves none of it based on his performance.
what does he have? charisma, charm, presence, confidence...ALPHA
even in the broader societal sense, there are alphas...you know...THE HAVE'S as opposed to the HAVE-NOT'S...yep, they drive Hummers and ride your ass when you are out running errands, they walk directly at you on the sidewalk and force you out of the way, they interrupt, talk louder, and at the end of the day...they force their will on the people around them...ALPHA
it never changes. i deal with "grown ups" every day...and they are usually worse than kindergarteners.
