Curious what it means to be an Alpha Male? Asking on someone’s behalf!

Plenty of those threads already.
And just as many different definitions.
I think an important is the development of one’s “will”.
Which is basically if I say I will do something, or I decide to do something, then I do it.
Saying I will do something and then not doing it due to copping out, that diminishes the will.

Shortest answer would be an “assertive and kind leader who is not a bully.”
Actually the term alpha, beta etc males were labels used by people who study animals like chimpanzees and wolves. Among them who was identified as the leader of the pack, most loved and respected was labeled Alpha and so on.

In simple terms, I would say a man who is congruent with his masculinity and expresses it with his actions and behavior.
But maybe this is a definition of masculinity not an Alpha Male.

[In the future if you think someone might be trolling, please flag the post rather than announce it.] There are zillions of articles on the internet which talk about this subject. We have loads of threads on this same subject here in the community.
As this thread reveals, it is mostly a kind of Rorschach test for people to project their notion of manliness.

(But the fact that it’s a myth doesn’t mean you can’t use the concept or draw inspiration from it. On the contrary, some might argue that this is one of the main purposes of myth.)

Alpha males don’t really exist. It’s better to become a man of virtue and discipline.

I believe there are multiple definitions of an Alpha Male.
The “Alpha Male” is just a label, a marketing jargon these days, lol.
There are some traits that all Alpha males have in common, but my own definition is quite simple: A mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually strong/healthy man who lives his life according to his own desires.
Some alphas are wealthy. Wealth definitely helps to live your life easier, but it’s not a requirement, IMHO.
I believe that if an Alpha wants to become wealthy, we’ll get there, sooner or later.
It’s not easy to become one, though. Subs definitely help you become one faster, but you still have to go out there and take action.

Although I’m surprised this thread is still open, that’s pretty much my perspective too.
If there is something that I would define as alpha male, despite the many definitions out there, when considering a positive definition, I would put it down to a man who is indeed a man who accepts who he is without shrinking away from his physical or mental or spiritual shortcomings, who strives to become the best version of himself he can be despite his limitations, who has principles he lives by and never compromises his actions to suit this whims of others but lives by his principles even if that causes him personal suffering and pain.
Such a man appreciates the nature of woman but does not assume that every woman he encounters will fully embody her potential, and strives to help her accomplish her own even if it means they never mate, because a person who follows this path need not fear to be short of suitors, because their very character will attract the kind of woman they would want to be with.
To put it more simply, as Marcus of Babylon 5 would say: they live for the one, they die for the one.
