Not at all! No one can be the best at everything. Part of being an alpha is understanding your own strengths and weaknesses. You know when to delegate something to someone else or let them take over because they're better at it than you are. On top of that, a true alpha is always seeking to learn and better themselves—you can't do that if you already think you're better at everything. No matter how much you know, there's always room to learn something.

Question

Should an alpha male keep facial hair, or smooth shave?

Community Answer

It depends on the man and the type of face you have. Experiment with both and keenly view other people's reactions and how they view you. If you do keep facial hair, keep it neat and trimmed. The "right look" varies with the era and local preferences, so bear that in mind too.

Question

Are alpha males emotionless?

Community Answer

Not at all. Alpha males are comfortable with themselves and their emotions, which they express in a healthy manner. They're not concerned with what other people think, they've got their own self-esteem.

Question

Does an "alpha male" really exist? Many girls say this is very stupid concept "made by a man child."

Community Answer

It's simply a concept of being a leader. Some men call themselves "alpha male" when they want an excuse to be a jerk, which is probably what these girls are talking about.

Question

Wouldn't following a guide mean that someone is a leader rather than an alpha male?

Community Answer

Not necessarily. Someone can take advice from others and then use that advice to become an alpha male in their own life.

Question

How do I become an alpha male if everyone looks to a female in our friend group as the leader?

Community Answer

Start making yourself known. Even though you should talk less and listen more, you need to make yourself known by coming up with great ideas and sharing your thoughts confidently in decision-making. They will notice your alpha male sense. But this doesn’t mean being a jerk to the female!

Question

If I encounter another alpha male, do I have to fight him for dominance?

Community Answer

No, definitely not. By simply standing your ground you can be seen as the bigger person. If another alpha tries to fight you and you refuse, you will make them feel week and stupid.

How do I become an alpha male if I am small and still have a high-pitched voice?

Yes, you can. Use a T-pose to intimidate other students in the bathroom stalls. Use a base tone to deepen your voice and assert dominance as an alpha male.

No, cheating on your partner doesn't make you an alpha male--it only makes you a unloyal partner and a cheater.
