Top 30 Traits Of An Alpha Male

They’re cool. They’re confident. They walk into a room, and everybody stops and notices. When they speak, people listen. Guys want to be like them. Ladies want to go out with them. They’re Alpha Males

“…Kobi you know the painful truth, Alpha Males are jerks, but I just can’t help being attracted to them” – Vivian 

Ever since October 2003 when I first heard this statement above from Vivian who happened to be my friend’s girlfriend [now ex], I decided I was on the right path, I put those words on my heart and I inscribed them on my mind and I never looked back or cared anymore about my friend – T.C Mek’s consistent preaching to me about turning a new leaf, becoming a “nice guy” and all those “wrong advice” he tried to feed me with back then in order to have me conform to his own Beta Male lifestyle. Thank God I didn’t listen. After all being “a nice guy” couldn’t save his girlfriend from falling for me a few months later …[well that’s a story for another day].

ALPHA MALES – Who are they? How do they think? How can I be like these guys? Am I an Alpha Male?

I’m sure some of you gents started asking these questions right from when you entered high school. Then you used to think about what you could do to get the attention of that cute female classmate of yours and have her start “talking” to you the way she does to some other cocky guy in your class that clearly had “no interest” in her affairs.

I’m sure some of you gents started asking these questions right from when you entered high school. Then you used to think about what you could do to get the attention of that cute female classmate of yours and have her start “talking” to you the way she does to some other cocky guy in your class that clearly had “no interest” in her affairs.

The simple truth I’m here to tell you gents is this: Women are more attracted to Alpha Males than any other kind of man. 

Women love Alpha Males who are by default passionate men with ambition and this in their subconscious mind is a qualifying factor when it comes to choosing a man that will be able to provide for them. They are hard-wired to fall for Alpha Males and just like my friend’s girlfriend told me, they can’t help it. It’s not about what they choose, it’s not in their head, it’s just how they are. Just like attraction, it’s NOT a choice.

This my friend, is one good reason why you should resist being a Beta Male and instead strive to become an Alpha Male.

True Alpha Male guys almost invariably end up with the most desirable women

A Beta Male, on the other hand, is another breed of the male species, a lower-key variety, of less-dominance.

UrbanDictionary defines a Beta Male as: “An unremarkable, careful man who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma, and confidence of the Alpha male”

Are you one of the many struggling Beta Males? or you are somewhere in between an Alpha Male and a Beta Male, then this article is for you.

Y’all should sit up or simply relax in a comfortable position, cos I’m about to show you guys how to become an alpha male and show you, ladies, how to spot them. Enjoy!
