The Alpha Male…
A woman needs to feel attraction for a guy beyond friendship. Women are attracted to confidence and masculinity. If you are nervous, anxious or hesitant around a woman, she will sense this fear and it will turn her off. The men who were successful in passing along their genes were the ones who embraced risk and succeeded in their quests.
Women that love these traits are team alpha male. Men who failed the challenge, or who were too risk averse to attempt it, ended their genetic lines with their own deaths. Women select long-term mates according to a long list of alpha male characteristics. Those include alpha traits like social dominance, physical prowess, and symmetry. They also include what might be called beta traits, including ability to provide, kindness, honesty, demonstration of love and affection, intelligence, compatibility, dependability and industriousness. In the current era, the omega male at the very top of the dominance hierarchy – the most alpha of all alpha descendants, are highly problematic as husbands and fathers, as reflected in rates of marriage, infidelity, fatherhood and divorce. Proceed with extreme caution. Be aware of why you are attracted to those alpha male personality traits
