I think the whole Alpha Male thing is a load of balls, they say it harks back to our days of survivalists wanting to mate with the most women, but the way I see it modern society and social situations are a hell of a lot more complex than just clubbing another male over the head and shagging his missus.

The things people percieve as alpha are easily replicatable and every bloke has the power to do them, even my gay friends can do things most people would call "alpha behaviour" and they're camp as christmas.

I think the solution is to break down exactly which characteristics you are after mastering to be what you call "alpha", and work on each one of those seperately. Confidence being the main one, but also body language and making sure everybody is always talking about what YOU want to be talking about.
