Alpha Male Behavior

Alpha male behavior is based on the alpha male’s genetic predisposition to be the leader of the pack, to be the best protector and defender of himself and those he loves and with whom he is in community. Their behavior is based on the their  strong propensity to survive.

Alpha male behavior includes:

The ability to stare down another
Letting others know who is boss, through words and body language
Intimidation, when necessary to get one’s way
Take-charge attributes, such as giving orders in a confident manner that tolerates no argument
Competitive behaviors, such as one-upmanship language, always paying for the check at dinner, sometimes teasing derision
Driven busyness
Bossiness
Intolerance for disagreement
Impatience
A “my way or the highway” attitude
High standards

Their behavior can be an asset in the workplace and in the community. In the workplace, workers want a strong leader, a boss who appears self-confident and competent. Community members want these attributes in firemen, policemen and their mayor.

However, alpha male behavior can be a liability in personal intimate relationships and in marriage. The very same alpha male behavior that is admired and paves the way to success in the business and professional world can destroy a relationship. Even if 80% of what they do that is positive in a relationship, if their alpha behavior occupies 20% of the relationship, that is enough to blow it up.

One aspect of being an alpha male is that they do not think of their behavior as a possible cause of repeated relationship failure. Part of their behavior and thinking is just to think that he hasn’t found the “right woman”. Only after several failed relationships and as they contemplate spending lonely and alone do they stop to think that their behavior may be a liability in their marriage or intimate relationship.
