Definition of the American Alpha male as of post 2015.

[Mercury]

You hear a lot of talk these days of Alpha males. Well, for those who are curious, in America, an Alpha male today is defined as a man who is tough, hard, intimidating, a bodyguard who will shove all other guys away and will even use deadly force without warning. An alpha male today in modern-day America is also highly pursuing, bold as a lion, is not afraid of going (back) to prison; yes, even getting taken down by a SWAT team for approaching a woman and asking her out. They know it's a capital felony under Federal law to court and pursue a woman. They know flirting is a capital felony under Federal law, grounds for SWAT and FBI/Homeland Security involvement, but many American Alpha males have already done many years, even decades, in prison for violent offenses such as armed robbery, shooting, car jacking, assault with a deadly weapon, and even firearm attack on a law enforcement officer. The vast majority of American Alpha males today are in gangs. And a lot of American Alpha males also make 6 figures and more annually and can easily afford to live in San Francisco and even Los Angeles.

....is not afraid of going (back) to prison

Not really sure what is your definition of 'alpha male'

I call such men you describe above 'bad boys'.

.....even getting taken down by a SWAT team for approaching a woman and asking her out. They know it's a capital felony under Federal law to court and pursue a woman.

The risk for a 'bad boy' to be rejected by a female is rather small, many women admire such guys, this was my observation while I was still living in Europe - many Western women are 'bored beyond belief' as they do not miss anything in their life and welcome 'bad boys' as an exciting alternative. They run after them, wait in front of the prison gate on the day of release.

Violent street criminality and the huge prison population in USA is shocking. Many places in USA are not safe at all.

And a lot of American Alpha males also make 6 figures and more annually and can easily afford to live in San Francisco and even Los Angeles.

To be a criminal does not mean you are poor, many gangsters made a fortune out of drugs, gambling, nightclubs and introducing prostitutes to clients, robbery etc. Crimes sometimes pays.

Because like the extreme vast majority of American Alpha males as of 2015 and later, the extreme vast majority (more than 90%) of American women born after 1985 are also in gangs. Many American women born after 1990 have, themselves, even participated in violent crimes like armed carjackings, drive-by shootings, dealing illegal drugs, some have even been accomplices in homicides. I've seen so many women that you thought were so much better than that, and then they join gangs, like MS-13, Latin Kings, Gangster Disciples, and even terrorist organizations, like the Outlaw Motorcycle Club which has perpetrated numerous terrorist events, including 9/11 and the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. And those women quickly became toxic, spoiled, selfish, and twisted, consumed with evil. They quickly became totally unapproachable and even unsafe to approach. Young American women have become extremely violent-minded.

I do not think that more than 90 % of American women born after 1985 are gang members - why to exaggerate the present situation?

However USA has clearly the worst violent ready females. It is true that women often participate in criminal activities and I remember some comments from US-police investigators mentioning that there is no longer any difference between male and female criminals - drugs, robbery, forgery, up to killings etc. etc.

There is also no difference anymore regarding domestic violence - in some research it was found that US-women are AT LEAST as violent as men - despite being the 'weaker' gender, but this is near-balance - as men are often only using their hands and sometimes their feet, while women quickly resort to weapons like kitchen knives, throwing heavy ashtrays, beer-glass bottles causing serious injuries.

Females are also the leading gender regarding child mistreatment.

RE OP.

Sod all that macho rubbish or trying to emulate it. Would the sorts of girls who find that attractive be right for you? I don't know if you've seen any of Paul Elam's stuff. He talked about becoming the 'alpha male' (faking) and mentioned a) he didn't like what he's become and b) didn't like the sorts of girls he was attracting.

A real alpha male is someone who's not afraid to be himself is is willing to draw boundaries and being willing to walk away. That's the healthiest attitude I've seen on the 'alpha/beta' nonsense.

Ignore those PUA types. Their brainwashing tactics are not so clever.
