These guys are right, you can’t BE Alpha all the time, but by means of a solid, layered foundation of women’s prior emotional perception, your gestalt perception can be one of being Alpha all the time.

This is a great point, and one I hadn’t yet considered. Men have to work toward creating an overall sense of being “alpha,” confident, dominant, in control, but don’t have to constantly project only alpha traits in order to do so.

And in fact, trying to do so can blow up in their faces. For example, winning someone over requires at least a combination of alpha and beta skills, though the overall effect is perceived as alpha. Drawing solely on alpha traits not only isn’t going to win most people over, it’s going to create a lot of adversaries, which could very easily lead to being overwhelmed by all the little battles you’re forced to attend to.
