I wanted to come here and hear it from you guys! I love hearing different viewpoints.

I know I can google or search around here, but I felt the desire to make a thread.

I pretty much stopped using that Alpha Male term now that the meaning has been ruined by internet gurus. At this point even dudes with a nasty attitude problem or a huge ego call themselves alpha. Instead of thinking in terms of alpha versus beta, I’d rather think in terms of emotionally, spiritually and financially strong and assertive yet respectful male vs weak and dependant male who has to fight for respect instead of commanding it.

Alpha, beta, sigma don’t mean anything at this point.

From a sports analogy, an Alpha is someone who usually is the more capable member in a social setting and whose then able to then lead and inspire the people around him.

Someone that is looked up to and can set the standard

In your opinion what it means to be an Alpha Female? Asking for myself :slight_smile:
And is there a difference between Alpha Female and a baddie or is it the same?

I guess because such a simplistic question is not one that would ordinarily be asked, for many reasons. Although on some levels, it needs to be asked and answered, for those those who don’t already have their own answer to it, to know how to best proceed with these subliminals. You need to know what is the best form of a man to you in order to be that to a woman. That being said, what is an alpha male to you?

I love to ask simplistic questions and also love to find simplistic answers for complex questions :grinning:

Make the complex more simple.

TBH, my first thought was that of an egotistical tough guy who feels bigger and better than everyone else.

Then I thought it’s just a term that doesn’t mean anything to me.

Maybe a man who’s balanced in his feminine and masculine energy, cultivates emotional mental physical and spiritual aspects in balance… probably very wealthy and successful in some form of business or businesses. The head of a company. Etc.

Now my views are seemingly changing.

Love noticing the differing meanings we all add to words labeled titles.

Edit: the guy I have been seeing on & off for a year has been called an alpha male a couple times & didn’t know what it meant himself.

According to Urban Dictionary, a baddie is a girl who is always slaying the game and always on fleek . Basically, a girl who is extremely put together and looks phenomenal even on her off days.

Edit: So maybe you can be a hybrid ~ alpha female baddie :woman_superhero:

I feel I can relate to both descriptions. I just went on a journey through my past experiences with different male types according to urban dictionary :joy: fun!

The term “Alpha” gets thrown into a lot of groupings it seems. Don’t think there’s one wrong answer on here.

The last sentence says everything. Basically, put a hot high value man in the environment and all that female alphaness flies out the windows. :joy:

Glad that was a joke. Male and female “energies” are a big joke designed to simplify a much more multi-faceted situation.

The idea of the “tough guy” is a … I suppose you would call it “archetype” of someone who uses discipline to stick to their principles. Sometimes it is done the right way, sometimes it is completely f’ed up.

Ultimately, what you probably mean when you think alpha male in a positive context, is just a man who has a way of managing his own masculinity in a way that is acceptable to you. Nothing more. And that is going to be different to every woman who is encountering a man. What you need to decide is what do these qualities mean to you so you can figure out how to react to them. Everything else is just subjective to other people.
