Read @bigdave17 and @RichardTheFrog threads, just be opposite of that.

It just means top guy, women want the top guy, whatever that entails. Could be the best actor, the best basketball player, the strongest guy in the gym, the most socially influentual guy in the bar.

I don't believe there are any definitive or universal traits that alphas have, they're all different. And I don't believe it has anything to do with the red pill.

Caesar from Planet of the Apes. Tony Stark. Thanos. Han Solo. James T. Kirk. Benjamin Sisko.

I actually love this topic because it’s a never ending discussion. That’s why it’s easiest to just pic characters.

To me, Alpha is the embodiment of leadership. Leaders must be confident, powerful, intelligent, unwavering in their resolve, and exercise higher levels of emotional self control than their peers.

When I think of alpha I think of James Bond and John Wayne.

I'm sure Tom Cruise is alpha, too, but he is still an annoying douche.

Tom Cruise ?

Only in movies.

He was mentioned in the Neil Strauss book "The Game." The quote I remember is:

Everyone must be thinking about what Tom Cruise is thinking about!

They both r fakes.

Using techniques to mask their inherent passive nature.

When push comes to shove they'll both break.

Does someone has to be an immoveable Alpha to be persuasive and influence?

Alpha is just an idea rooted by observations by men who has dominants traits that's inherent in both motivators and doers personalities.

But it doesn't automatically mean that they r great men.

You can copy but you'll still come off as fake when challenged.

It's easy to recognise a dominant personality and likewise with a passive.

"True Alpha" is one who has 100% trust in himself that he will handle whatever comes his way. Any situation he is in, he comes out on top.

Agreed, except he doesn’t always come out on top. No one always wins. The alpha is best equipped to overcome adversity in the long run.

Yeah no. These no such thing as being “too Alpha.” Someone who is macho 24/7 doesn’t have the slightest clue what being alpha actually means, which was the basis for the thread. Alpha and macho are not synonymous.

That depends.

If an intellectual such as urself defines it as such and generally live life as such then u r alpha (in ur mind).

I think it's fairly evident that most people seem to have their own unique definition of what alpha means. Which just contributes to it being a basically meaningless term.

"1.4 informal as modifier Denoting a person who has a dominant role or position within a particular sphere. "

Alpha is simply dominance. If you're a top tier lawyer, you are an alpha lawyer. You get the most resources, you are looked to as a leader, people turn to you to get things done. If you're in a relationship with a woman, you're the leader. You handle the relationship, you lead it, you're competent and she looks to you to get things done. It also means you compete with other men in those spheres. Can this other guy provide more protection, more money? Does he have his life more sorted out? Is he better in bed?

Think about a friend you have who is doing really well in their career. You admire that person because they are succeeding. They are dominating within their sphere of influence. That admiration is what women are attracted to, in part. Women cross culturally and universally do not date down in social status.

Where people get confused about alpha, is associating it purely with physical dominance, tyrannical dominance only, or creating a binary in which you can only have alpha traits. That sort of caricature of alpha might be attractive to some women, but it's not necessary for success with women in general. It's likely it is harming your success with other demographics of women, potentially women you might want to date.

Not many men make it to the absolute top of physical fitness, career success, etc. And there are 3 billion women. Thinking you need to be the epitome of "alpha" to get women is insanity. You just need to be competent and aim at women within your social sphere. There are good attractive women within all spheres of society. Just because you don't have a shot with Angelina Jolie because you're not Brad Pitt, doesn't mean you're not alpha enough for women in general. Don't fall into the trap of creating all or nothing scenarios that trap you in your state in life.

Yes it is a meaningless term.
