They show the big, bad tough side.<BR/><BR/>It is strange because with writing, we have the ability to show thoughts.

And that's probably what bugs Kimber about them in books, too. <BR/><BR/>That said, I have met some men "in real life" that come across like some of the bad (for me) alpha males I've seen in fiction -- men who think they have to dominate every conversation or argument and just assume others will bend to their will and/or big personalities.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-40372822052560256232008-03-13T21:42:00.000-04:002008-03-13T21:42:00.000-04:00This is my third time trying to leave a comment to...This is my third time trying to leave a comment today.. blogger is killing me. <BR/>And each time the post has gotten shorter. <BR/>Love alpha males but only when done well.

I ...I don't like the romance alpha male that much. I LOVE (and do love, the hubby being one) the real life alpha male. Those are the guys I write about.<BR/><BR/>If you want a good book on real life alpha males written by an alpha male, read<BR/>What Men Don't Tell Women About Business: Opening Up the Heavily Guarded Alpha Male Playbook by Christopher V. Flett.<BR/><BR/>That book spoke to my heart.<BR/><BR/>BTW... a common myth about alphas is that they don't like push back. SO untrue. Alphas LOVE push back. Nothing makes us happier. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and another. True alphas don't need or use the physical to dominate. That's a Beta male trying to be an alpha trick. Very tacky. Alphas dominate through strength of personality.Kimber Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658012405712901099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-80753238096054638522008-03-12T11:24:00.000-04:002008-03-12T11:24:00.000-04:00David Cook!

He's technically a great singer, he knows his own identity, and he can make any song his own. The guy's a star. Is he getting better looking too or is it just because I'm digging him so much???? <BR/><BR/>Ever noticed he's got great arms? tee hee<BR/><BR/>I love the Alpha Male discussion. Sorry to relate it to animals, (but we're all animals aren't we?)... I see this a lot with horses. My old gelding -yup, gelding though he thought he was a stud!- was often the little guy in the herd but he was never picked on. He'd take over if given the slightest chance. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes an alpha isn't what you'd expect.<BR/><BR/>Maybe our guy with the lefty guitar and the emo comb-forward, our strong silent type, is more alpha than we realize!<BR/><BR/>(I love the male hero characters in novels. Love reading them and writing them.)Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-81938010671713064472008-03-12T08:00:00.000-04:002008-03-12T08:00:00.000-04:00Excellent post and you're right.
