DATING IN QUARANTINE: Can a man be an alpha male and have emotional intelligence?

are you sure you know what an alpha is? it's not necessarily muscles. it's attitude. and i don't mean dominant or arrogant. it's more about confidence and competence. we don't over react. we make good decisions and have measured responses. we don't let anyone run us over, but we don't use arbitrary threat displays. theres the true alpha.
the dude that flashes the muscles - well that's a threat display, along with many other behaviors.
but also, we usually don't do emotional love, precisely because we understand the chemical nature of it. for that reason, you wont get in all the way - but the advantage is we wont show you weakness so you will always be able to respect us. by weakness, i mean for example, when we're sick, we don't whine. when we experience loss, grief is a relatively private experience. we show gratitude, forgiveness, appreciation, humility - these come with true strength. there's more.

Depends on your definition of those things, and your own personal tastes. Generally speaking, men find that women are ruled by whether or not you find us attractive. Doesn't matter how emotionally intelligent or alpha we are, if we don't look like some calvin klein caricature, y'all don't give a shit

Shut up Meg.

I appreciate your response but to be honest now I'm feeling more conflicted. Maybe I don't know what a true alpha is then..even though I see that term being thrown around on here so often. I mean, showing vulnerability is not the same as showing weakness. But I do agree with many points you made. (Except maybe that not complaining when sick bit..I've never been privy to that phenomenon lolol)

Sure. If he's ghey.

attractiveness is subjective. A sense of humor is very attractive as is confidence. You can take the "hottest" dude and if he isn't confident in himself or has a good personality /sense of humor then he's just a bland pretty boy.

Lol

Well placed!

Get off my thread, I was here first you troglodyte.

Again, y'all say that, but in practice, y'all don't act that way.

This is how I feel about females.
You all play so hard into this roleplay business and miss all the real things.

Alpha males can be quarantined?

No no no. Alpha males do the quarantining, and the beta males get quarantined...

Eh even a bear needs to hibernate ;)

You don’t. That's why a guy shares this stuff with close buddys. They never tell it to side piece or main squeeze because it always and i mean always gets used as leverage.

I guess statistically yes, that would seem the case. Taking care of oneself and doing the best with what you got does go far.

Valid. Bitches be tripping, i agree.

This quarantine would be more interesting if instead of getting the covid we turned into zombies. Just freaking get it overwith..

You don’t want a man / you want a gal-pal in a male body

Get over it

Do the research - or at least READ the research

Women say 10,000 words a day
Men say 2,000 words a day

Ya need to find some gal or Facebook friends to say the extra 8,000 with

Women feel closer to someone after TALKING with someone

Men feel closer to someone after DOING AN ACTIVITY TOGETHER

So all your babbling doesn’t make him feel one tad closer to you

Actually he is thinking “Does she ever shut up?”

Going on a hike - bike - fishing - camping - building - farming - activity WILL make him feel closer and he does NOT have to TALK about it - he FEELS it

I had a boss once that had superior emotional intelligence .....

The most manipulative and insightful person I ever met - he knew peoples buttons within minutes and used it to make millions ... a wonder to watch him do it .... but ended up with charges of fraud and abuse of power ... haha - he sure had power over people

Find a REAL man ... not a criminal Mastermind

Let him be a man and he will have heartfelt feelings for you - that he shows by DOING things not babbling like a schoolgirl

I have an alpha male that doesn’t suffer whiners and fools

How to tell if he is alpha ?

Watch him in a group of MEN ... friends or coworkers

The ALPHA gets treated like a leader - people want his attention - offer to bring food or drinks - LISTEN when he speaks ... recognize he has the answers - respect his opinions - RESPECT of a group establishes alpha

He is only interested in an ALPHA FEMALE - one that is INDEPENDENT in her mind and pursuits and manages her own life and MOODS

Alpha man likes pussy but doesn’t want a pussy

His woman has to get the same respect from the same people

Grow up

From someone married to an Alpha and managing her own challenges

what is your star sign op??

You were actually making valid points even though they were peppered with random vitriol. Lol I guess the title of the thread got lost in translation. It's dating in the time of quarantine, you know..FaceTime, zooming, Skype. Non of which really lend themselves to activities, but your points are not lost.

aries

BLB, get a life.

No wonder why you're so hard 2 please. Do you think you can go on ALONE without being in a relationship??

So many angry people on GLP.

Edited because I have no idea wtf happened.

ANyWaY

I might be hard to please. Or I might not be. A star sign ain't going to do shit to tell you any of that.

angry sex is the best sex lolz

you make a good point. Ha!

I'm sorry BLB, do you go by 'strella' now?

Sounds like you shouldn't have too many problems in relationships and dating even in quarantine..Not unless you have a Water moon or rising sign..
