Yes. I even regret my describing my husband as an alpha-male, though it is distinctly true of his approach and personality. Using the title "alpha male" sounds snooty, but I've figured out that beta males are as attractive, valuable and powerful as alpha males, every bit as much, just in different roles. They are both equally tops, but in different ways; in (to my mind) a healthy romantic relationship, the male is always the alpha in that particular equation, if he is married to a real woman.

But I'm a sexist, plain and simple, I acknowledge it. Alpha or Beta, I like to think beta most of the time and alpha when I need to be ... but hell, I have no idea!

On the Normie scale of Dude, there’s the Alpha, which is a guy like Cruz or Trump or James Bond or Ahhhnold in an action movie.

The beta is the Pajama buy type. In my own mind, Beta is a thing to me placed in the woods with steak tied around it’s neck as it is net drain on the species.

Then there’s the average dude. Not an alpha, not a beta. Just what makes the world go round. Some are remarkable without being truly Alpha, some are pretty poor without being Beta.

I guess we all have our own definitions when it comes down to it. Different descriptors for basically the same thing.
