Here are 10 alpha male traits - these alpha male characteristics belong to all natural leaders, and confident men. If you really want to change yourself and want to become an alpha male then read the following traits and see which ones you lack, then adjust your behavior to make up for these lacking areas; An Alpha Male:
Never Qualifies Himself: He makes no apologies, doesn't feel the need to explain his behavior. He doesn't have to as he is simply comfortable in his own skin. Alphas don't boast about their acomplishments - it is like the old saying "a rich man doesn't need to tell you he is rich" - people boast to gain status, but if you already have it you don't need to boast, and alpha males already have it.
Talks Slow: Talking fast is a way to qualify yourself to someone - essentially you are scared they will stop listening or get disctracted by something more interesting, so you get your point out quick so they will listen - it has the opposite effect, and it shows your lower status.
Doesn’t Look Around: He's the focus of attention - he is unconcerned with what other people are doing.
Is The Focus of Attention: He is centrally positioned in the group, everyones body language faces him and is positive towards him.. Expect to be the focus, step up and you will start to take on this dominant role.
Take The Glory: When you tell a funny joke they take it one further and steal the laugh, when you do something cool they congratulate you for it and give you their approval. An alpha will generally ridicule bad ideas, but when he hears one he likes he will add to it, or put his own spin onto the idea - thus making it his own and keeping leadership of the group.
Are Never Impressed: They can be self centered and are often unimpressed with the achievements of other people. Their standards are high in every way: they are high achievers and they have seen success before, and met people already with your "achievements", it takes more to impress them.
Enjoy a Challenge: They enjoy making friends with beta males, but with another alpha guy they often become “enemies”. He needs to be at the "top of the food chain" at all times and will compete with another male for the dominant position - if he really is alpha he will even enjoy the opportunity.
Don’t Answer Questions: They often give a non-sensical or a basic response to questions you ask them where you are trying for report - by asking you to “guess” they are controling the frame and lead the interaction.
Don’t Care About You: They are self focused, you are there to entertain them, but they are above you - he believes world evolves around him and everyone is there to help him, entertain him or sleep with him - as he chooses.
Can Show A Nicer Side and Get Away With It: This goes back to not caring what people think. he can be nice / genuine / down to earth if he wants to and on the occasions that he is he gets even more credit for it - he isn’t a geek trying to be nice for validation, he is a cool guy who has a down to earth side sometimes.
