Victor, to me, the "Alpha" male is severely overrated. I see most "Alpha" males as insecure and hiding weaknesses. "Alpha" is a psychological term created to study animals. (You know...like gorillas and monkeys.) Humans are a little more complex and much higher on the food chain.

You might be surprised at the intelligence, skills and physical abilities of a sogannant "Beta" male. When asking a "Beta" karate master what color belt he has earned (ranking) he will always tell you, "leather!" He needs no label to be comfortable with who he is. Only those who imagine themselves as "Alphas" need these labels.

Labels do not occur to real men; they are relaxed with who they are. Women who flock to the sogannant "Alpha" male get what they asked for; not usually what they wanted. The “Alpha” imagines himself at the top of the heap; the "Beta" doesn't care.

The superior woman who is able to discern the good qualities and recognize the intrinsic value of a sogannant "Beta" male has exactly the qualities of perception and appreciation for which that man is also looking. She will probably get what she is looking for; and so will he.
