Alpha Male

Man Series, Part 4

Other Parts of the Man Series:  

Merriam-Webster:

Dominant male; a male tending to assume a dominant or domineering role in social or professional roles.

Quintessential Voyage:

Male who resides in a dominant role in social situations and relationships, not to control or manipulate but rather to lead and protect. 


Alpha Male has this negative connotation to it nowadays. This has nothing to do with being antiequality. Hell, there is no reason against there being an Alpha Female. 

An Alpha is the leader of the pack, they exude this feeling of confidence that makes people want to follow them. In modern society, this has little to do with brute strength and bullying, in fact usually the alpha establishes dominance through intellect and emotional strength. An alpha should do what they can to groom future alphas, and they encourage strength throughout the pack.

Here are ways someone can prove to be an alpha from primal to modern:
  • Physical strength and stature
  • Emotional stability and control over their reactions
  • Self-Confidence 
  • Creativity and intelligence
  • Nurturing, developing, and enabling
How do the Alphas in your life exhibit their dominance? What abilities to they demonstrate? What are their strength and weaknesses? Do you think you can be an Alpha?
