H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I is the best example of the perfect alpha male.  Becoming an alpha male is one of the highest achievements a man can ever have.    They’re cool. They’re confident. They walk into a room, and everybody stops and notices. When they speak, other men listen. Men want to hang out with them. Women want to go out with them. They’re alpha males. Standard psychological definitions fail to do justice to the alpha male. He dominates history; his brilliance and charisma lay the foundations for every city and every civilization. He is self-made, self-serving, self-glorifying, and you’re either with him or against him.   He doesn’t compromise on the issues at hand, and if you turn out to be on the opposing team, he will break you before even considering your surrender.

There are many who say they follow the footsteps of Our Emperor, however, their behaviour is far from Our Majestys’ own teachings or characteristics.  As we become the repairers of the breach and builders of city walls and devote or life to kingdom building, we urge all followers of Our Mighty Emperor to STUDY his teaching, STUDY his speeches, emulate his life and practice self discipline so that we are worthy to be called children of The Most High.   Not sure where you stand and if you an apha male?  Read on.

An alpha male has certain unmistakable characteristics. A natural leader, he is a pack-builder. He leads, provides for and protects his pack (his significant other, his buddies, his teammates, and so on). Its not just about learning how to be smooth with the ladies, there is so much more to the Alpha male lifestyle.  Its all about living a life full of fulfillment and self actualization. An alpha male lives inside all men, its what makes us manly as men. Its the Big Difference between us and the ladies.  And women love it!  They find it so irresistible. Its what really attracts them to men. A woman will say she wants a man who buy her flowers and listens to her stories and cares and bla bla bla (all that sissy stuff) but at the end of the day she will fall for the alpha male (Usually found in Revolutionaries) and break all her rules. This is because for women attraction is not in the head; its in the heart. Its how they are wired – To fall for Alpha Males – And they can’t help it. This is why you want to become an alpha male.

Here are the 25 Traits of an Alpha male:

1. An Alpha male is very comfortable with himself. He always radiates confidence. He does not fear anyone, he does not really care how people think of him. Confidence is him. He knows he is more important than anyone else in his life.

2. Is very passionate in life. He knows what he loves to do and follows his dreams. A true Alpha male has goals and ambitions, and really high ones. He follows these to the ultimate end, and ends up living a fulfilled life. (And women love passionate men with ambition. They see these kind of men becoming very successful in life and in their subconcious minds this is a qualifying factor in choosing a mate that will be able to provide for their future kids.)

3. Failure is only a minor setback for a real Alpha Male. Its only part of the process, he is learning. He is moving. He will always bounce back from failure, learn from the experience and move ahead with life. Nothing holds him back, after all, he is the Alpha male. Nothing can put him down. This is how he overcomes the challenges in his life.

4. He is always composed.  An alpha male never loses composure, he is always himself, thoughtful and calculated. He won’t be carried away in emotional spasms.

5. Driven. A real Alpha male is very self- driven and self disciplined. Once he decides his target, all his attention will be at achieving his goal. He will do everything persistently to achieve what he wants. This is also why Alpha males drive women crazy, they are men of their own, they don’t need to be told what they should do. Women prefer men who make the decisions.

6. High morals and values. A true Alpha male is not what we will call a ‘loose’ man. He has high moral principles. He is not abusive or arrogant and does not look down upon others. Many people confuse Alpha males and Bullies. But generally, while bullies are very agressive on the outside, alpha males are very calm, calculated and controlled people.

7. An Alpha male is a natural leader. He is always looked up upon to provide direction when needed.

8. An Alpha male is a Problem Solver. In a company or organization, he will always be put in a challenging position and because of this, he will be highly regarded and compensated. He will always be the best at what he does.

9. Dress- Code- Smart. Not that he really cares what anyone thinks of how he dresses; that is not very important to him. But he still dresses the best way possible, always. Its just part of his nature, after all, he wants the best in life! He doesn’t have to but he knows he should.

10. He believes in growth. He knows that change is an internal process and takes time. He does not blame anyone for his mistakes because he knows that he has the power to make his life better and become a better man. Life for him is all about constant growth. This is the real essence of a man living a life of purpose. Every successful man in history knew this. That life is learning process. It is only an arrogant person who thinks they know it all. Humble yourself and learn!

11. With women he always poses a challenge. No, he is not chosen by women, he CHOOSES them! He does not throw himself at women and start acting needy with women. For him its the other way round. They really have to impress him and earn his attention.

12. A True Alpha male is not bossy. Not at all. He likes to listen to others’ opinions. If he is in a position of leadership he will let everyone share their thoughts and collectively find the solution. That’s why his co- workers love him! His team always wins.

13. He is not afraid to face his faults or admit when he is wrong. For a real Alpha male, there is nothing wrong with admitting when he has done something wrong. Its all about moving on with life, finding a solution, moving forward. If he wronged someone, he will politely admit and apologise, without making a big deal out of it, then move on to the next best thing.

Signs You’re Not An Alpha Male

Are You An Alpha Male? Well Not If You Do Any Of These 10 Things

The changing world presents a continuing opportunity for an alpha male. Where other guys see change as crisis, an alpha male is in his natural element. He continually observes cause and effect, and turns every opportunity to the advantage of his pack. He loves to win, and is good at it.

He is unconcerned with his image — he just goes about winning the game at hand, whatever it may be, and others follow. They copy his style, speech and look. An alpha male never copies anyone else.

Often laid-back until there is a need for action, an alpha male is fearless in a necessary fight. And he is the best leader of men there is.

But there are some things an alpha male never does. This is a list of the 10 dead-certain giveaways that you are not an alpha male.

10. You Get Her To Pay For Dinner

An alpha male never takes advantage of other people and their kindness. He works hard to provide for himself, and doesn’t feel comfortable being in other people’s debt. If his date tries to contribute, his first instinct is to calmly take the check and say, “Let me get this.” According to recent research, 77 percent of people in straight relationships still that on a first date, it’s the man who should pick up the tab.

9. You Never Apologize, Even When You’re Wrong

An alpha male has no hang-ups. He simply says, “I was wrong. I apologize.” And then he sets out to rectify the problem as best he can using the means available to him.

8. You Suck Up To Leaders And Seek Their Approval

An alpha male doesn’t suck up to anyone. In most situations, he is the leader. And when he isn’t, he’s respectful, but not afraid to speak his mind if the situation calls for it. He gets ahead through effort and hard work, not through buttering up to the right people.

7. You Gossip

About your boss. About your buddies. About your girlfriend. You don’t mind pointing out other people’s failings and weaknesses and having a good laugh at their expense. An alpha male never betrays his pack, but he doesn’t feel the need to belittle others either. He doesn’t need to build himself up by tearing people down.

6. You Panic In A Crisis

An alpha male’s natural element is change. Rapid change is simply an interesting challenge to him. He goes into a special kind of ice-cold, almost detached state, quickly sums up the situation, does due diligence if time allows for it, and acts immediately and decisively based on prior experience. His heart rate might increase a little bit, but he isn’t scared.

5. You Act Before You Think

An alpha male may act with lightning speed, but he always thinks before he does so. He never runs to the corner and goes off in all directions; he knows that well-considered actions are the ones that bring positive results, not knee-jerk reactions.

4. You Blame Others

An alpha male takes responsibility for his own actions. He doesn’t seek out excuses to make himself seem less culpable; he knows that his hard work and persistence will eventually turn the tide in his favor, so he doesn’t sweat owning up to his mistakes.

3. You Lie

To your boss. To your buddies. To your girlfriend. An Alpha Male isn’t a liar. He’s a stand-up guy; he shoots straight. He doesn’t have to slither out of a mess he got himself into. He does what’s right, and lets the chips fall where they may.

2. You Betray Others To Get Ahead

An alpha male never betrays a member of his pack, and he doesn’t stab his coworkers or acquaintances in the back either. By conducting himself in a gentlemanly manner, he gets the respect he deserves — and that pays off much more than whatever benefits he would get from throwing others under the bus.

1. You Bully People

An alpha male isn’t afraid to take on a real fight when it’s necessary — and only if it is necessary, since alphas aren’t “scrappers” — but he won’t think twice about taking on someone far bigger/stronger/better-situated than he is if the matter being decided is serious. Due to his fierce drive, chances are good that he’ll win — and if he doesn’t, you can bet he won’t blame anyone else.
