Alpha males are definitely the cream of the crop in terms of settling down, that is, of course, if you can find any thread of emotion in them. I have one and he is wonderful, but I question, daily, wether he cares. I don’t do this out of an underlying insecurity within myself, but out of response to his matter of fact attitude about life. DOn’t know how to handle him but he seems to be worth it to hang in there.

Hello Harry,

Thank you for your comment.

However, I have to wonder if your comment is solely in respect to the title and personal biases but not from actually having read the article.

The alpha male is an act that is performed by males usually in their teens and twenties who act tough, are loud, and have to be the center of attention or they feel insecure. When a man is successful and in his thirties he no longer acts this way because he has grown up and realized that the entire alpha male act is phony. When was the last time you saw a rich, successful man try to pick a fight??? Never. The only guys that do this are the losers that go to bars to take their anger out because they are angry inside for going nowhere in life.

Excellent post. It is true that alpha males tend to be “actors,” NOT “re-actors.” They take action on their own behalf instead of reacting to the whims of others. And then there are the “Meta Alpha” males, who are above even the alphas. These are the individuals with the greatest vision and creativity, who “see through” social, religious and politcal paradigms. But…they are rare.

I hadn’t read anything about REBT, but your description pretty much describes what I believe is the *only* way to get rid of fear.

“Having a weakness does not make you weak. But, fixing a weakness will make you stronger.”

I reallly like this statement. Basically it’s acknowledging that no one perfect exists, and by having weakness you’re literally being normal, but by fixing weakness you’re taking a step above… you’re training yourself to become something extraordinary.
