Is Gordon Ramsay a good example of dominant frame?

YOU USED SO MUCH OIL IN THIS SALAD, THE US ARMY IS GONNA TRY TO INVADE THE PLATE!!1!

Ramsay is on record as treating folks better the longer he knows them. On a three day shoot, he'll give assistants and grips a cursory nod at most when passing them in a corridor, day one. Day two, he may exchange a word or two, often all business. There's no time for anything more, not on a shoot. On the third day, whilst packing up shop, he'll shake hands and profess It Was Good Working With You, *insert assistant's name*

A truly powerful dominant male dog would just lie on his stomach, watching you approach his gate, neither growling nor barking unless you cross his boundaries

First off, as I said before, if you watch Ramsay's British shows, you will realize that 90% of his bluster and yelling is acting for the US cameras. If you ever watch many "reality" shows, you'll soon realize there is very little "real" about most of them.

Secondly, I disagree that all alpha males have the same personality type. I don't believe that they are all zen quiet peace lovers until threatened. I believe that there are as many different personalities as there are alphas. Chefs are notorious for being temperamental. Ramsay may have even built his TV character around this idea. He is an alpha male because he is a leader, he is at the top of his profession, and he has authority and uses it effectively to ensure his standards are met. He's also athletic (with soccer, boxing, and karate as hobbies) and in good physical shape. He is also a celebrity, which gives him access to perks that only fame can give. He has the credentials.

And this may not be particularly relevant, but women freaking love Ramsay, if you haven't noticed.
