Are you an Alpha Man?

Are you an alpha man or not? Is there anyone else in your group who is the main focus? Do you want everyone around you to think that you are the most charming and dominant person? Well, let us tell you the 10 signs that decide whether you are an Alpha Man or not.

1. You must have exceptional leadership traits

The leadership traits of an alpha man are invincible. If you are an alpha man you will dominate any group in such a way that everyone will listen and follow your lead. Everybody around an alpha man is certain that whatever his plans are for the group the outcome will be beneficial for everybody. His leadership is trusted and others feel honored by working with him!

An alpha man’s leadership constitutes creativity, intelligent decisions, confidence, trust and teamwork. They are passionate about their work. Alpha men do not imagine themselves as the only expert and always keep on learning with full zeal and zest. Show your passion for your work and you will ultimately be respected by your peers.

Critical thinking is another very vital requirement of being a good leader. An alpha man’s critical thinking makes him different from his fellow beings. He analyzes the situation efficiently to proffer viable recommendations and solve the issue. If you wish to lead any group you need to have some naturally gifted leadership attributes in you.

2. You are not complaining at whatever life is throwing at you

Living a happy satisfying life is the wish of every man in the world but the number of satisfied and happy people is very less. On a daily basis you see many people crying and complaining about their hard times but you will never see an alpha man complaining about his life. They are always content with whatever life has given them. However the consequences are, they will never lose their temperament and maintain their image in front of others. Surely they have some problems too in their life but they keep their problems to themselves and don’t cry in front of others about their life. They actually know that complaining about problems won’t solve it for them. People always observe the calmness and composure on the face of any alpha man even in bad and stressful situations.

If you are an alpha man, you will never complain about how tough your life is or how you are passing your tough days. You will solve every problem yourself and will not curse your life in front of others. If you want to become an alpha man, be happy with your life and never complain about your problems in front of others. Crying about bad situations and hardships of life will neither make your life easier nor solve your problems. It will just add a bad impact on your social life and people will start running away from you as they see you as a person who always keeps complaining. Alpha men efficiently use this technique and therefore  impress others. Mistakenly thought, a lot of people start to think alpha men have no problems in their life and are living a perfect life instead.

3. People value your opinion

One of the very significant signs that you are viewed as an alpha male is people approaching you to seek any advice. All your friends, relatives, and other known people come to you to have your suggestion on any matter and whatever you tell them, they will value your input. They know whatever an alpha man will say will be something useful and logical. The decision of an alpha man is always given top priority.

In addition to normal advice, people will also come to you to seek fitness advice as well. An alpha man always maintains the best shape of his body and others see him as a man who is physically very strong and fit. So, people want to know the tips on how to become physically fit looking.

The opinion of an alpha man is also not ordinary because before speaking any words, he thinks beforehand and gives a detail oriented answer.  His every decision, opinion, and advice is logical and leads towards a good conclusion. So, if you want your opinion to be valued amongst your peers, you must gain sufficient knowledge to do so.

4. You are a confident man

An alpha man is a confident person who has a clear set of rules that he follows in any condition. He confidently shares his opinions and thoughts without being worried what other people think about him. He presents himself with confidence in every situation which helps him handle the worst scenarios effectively. He is the kind of person who can never get rejected from a job interview because the interviewers will love his level of confidence. However, if he gets rejected he does not care and moves on immediately. He sets himself apart from other people with his exceptional grace and confidence. The term confidence in this scenario doesn’t mean that an alpha man becomes a fake person and then tries to impress others with confidence. No,  not at all! He is always confident because he knows, he is fully original and authentic in all aspects. Being original helps him in improving and maintaining his confidence in front of everyone. A fake person may be confident but his confidence will only hold good for a short period of time because he will be having a continuous guilt in him about his fakeness!

5. You are a self dependent person

An alpha man is a self-made person who has a high level of self respect. He loves his self-respect more than anything in the world which is why he tries to become self-sufficient as early as possible. When you ask him about his dreams and goals he will let you know that his only goal in life is to be self-sufficient and to never be dependent on any other human being. He would probably prefer death over being dependent on someone else.

An alpha male does not have a lot of expenses but whatever his living expenditures are, he wants to pay them himself. Even in times when he needs to borrow money, he will prefer working some extra hours on the job and earn the required money. He will never select the easy way out. He likes complicated problems being solved by himself. He is too proud to accept help from his best friends or associates even.

When he decides to be in a relationship, even with his love he would only prefer giving. He does not like to be emotionally dependent on someone else which is why he keeps himself safe from heartbreaks and drama. If you are a self-dependent person, the probability of you becoming an alpha male is definitely higher.

6. You have control over your life:

Alpha men are mentally and emotionally strong who do not allow anybody else to take control over their life. They make their own decisions and never regret them. They  do not let anyone invade their privacy to prevent emotional meltdowns.

Alpha males have strong rules and regulations allowing them to have control over their life. They do not take pieces of advice from other regular people unless the particular person is also viewed as an alpha man because they know if something goes wrong they cannot blame anybody else. These individuals take complete credit for successes and responsibility for failures. Alpha men even own their failures with pride.

They want  things to be in a particular way and  go above and beyond to do everything according to their choice and desire. If you have control over your life you might be an alpha man!

7. You have ambitious goals

If you have ambitious goals in your life and you are trying your best to achieve them, this could be a sign you are on track to becoming an alpha man. Alpha men always aim high in their life and want to attain the maximum standards. For that purpose, they keep their heads high and keep on working hard in the smartest possible way. They never waste their time on other unproductive tasks and keep on struggling for their ambitious goals and ultimately get what they want to become successful.

Many people do not have highly ambitious goals because they assume they can never reach them. But alpha men are always confident and believe that they can achieve everything and anything in life which makes them so different from others. Their high aim in life and then extreme hard work ensures their true success in every field of their life. They are never happy with satisfactory things because they want everything to be extraordinary in their life. Being an average person is never a wish of an alpha man. A continuous struggle in life is the key feature that makes them entirely different in their group. During these struggles, he learns leadership traits, dealing with being under commands, being unique, being authentic and powerful. Without hard work and struggle, no one will be ever able to achieve so much. If you have such highly targeted goals in your life and you are burning for them every single day and more importantly working towards them, again, it may be a sign that you are an alpha male.

8. You are inspiring for others:

An alpha man is a continuous inspiration for everyone around him. People get inspired by him due to his charming looks, intelligence, authenticity, honesty and valuable opinions. He is not merely a man of words rather he is also a true man of his actions. He proves his worth by doing the same thing which he guides others to do. His life journey is an inspiration and people want to follow the path he has walked on.

If people wish to become like you, if they want to copy you and if they adore you for your perfection, then surely you are an alpha man. If women around you wish you have a look at them, you are the man which everyone wants to be! Inspiring someone is not an easy task in this world of social media. Maintaining an inspiring personality is the wish of everyone but only a few are successful in maintaining that. Even your slightest mistake will ruin your complete image in front of everyone. So, beware and always try to keep your grace and keep on inspiring others.

9. You take care of things and people around you:

An alpha man is never a disrespectful man. He holds his self respect and also respects others. Though he remains in his grace this does not mean he has no factor of respect and honor for others. He expects everyone to give him respect and also gives everyone due respect. Firstly he is self dependent and never takes things from others but if he takes or shares anyone else’s belongings he takes extra care of it and returns it in the same condition. An alpha man is a man of his words and a man of honor. Being a leader of his group, he takes care of everyone. He tries to understand their problems and gives them a feasible suggestion. An alpha male tries to play a positive role in his society and never becomes selfish. He thinks the only way successful is to make everyone around him happy and comfortable with their life.

10. You are an Authentic person:

Being authentic in today’s world is considered to be an extremely rare phenomenon. Everyone, either a man or a woman, tends to copy the lifestyle of others without using their own brain for innovation. People watch and observe the fashion of celebrities on TV or social media and just opt for it as their fashion. This matter is just not limited in terms of fashion, but has also left its impact on each and every industry related to life. Hence, we can say that everyone in this world is just a copycat and has no authenticity of his own anymore. Mere following others blindly is common. In the race of following others, people forget their own identity, they lose their own character and become useless in the eyes of others.

On the other hand, if you are an alpha man, what others are doing and following will not bother you at all. The Alpha male makes and invents his own way, fashion and lifestyle while being authentic. His fashion will always be unique and decent. He keeps on remembering who he is and always tries to be the same original person. Never become a fake person just in pursuit of impressing someone, if you ever want to be an alpha man. Let the world be impressed by you and follow your  own lifestyle and fashion.

Final Words

Making your personality worth discussing is a very difficult task in this world of social media. Maintaining an invincible personality for a longer period of time is even more difficult. Every famous personality faces a lot of criticism too and only few of them survive this criticism. If you are an alpha male, you will never be concerned about what others  think  about you. You will be living a busy and responsible life, providing value to the world and therefore being viewed as an alpha male.
