What for you defines a (human) alpha male?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) August 13th, 2011

This question and some of the answers to it made me wonder what exactly is an alpha male in human terms. I did a little searching and found this that says alphas do well with the ladies and are usually good looking with a decent social status, then I found these six characteristics that seemingly have nothing to do with sex or good looks. So how do you recognize someone as an alpha male? Both men and women, do you tend to want to hang out with alphas or put off by them? Bonus question: Men do you consider yourself alpha?
