What women often say what they want, in terms a beta husband are at odds of what they respond to when they are in the presence of an alpha male.
If by “Alpha,” you mean Gary Cooper in “High Noon,” you are right. Women don’t respond well to bullies and control freaks (unless that have “daddy issue” mental illness).
Funny, but most men who think of themselves as 'alpha' and act as though they are are kind of pathetic and laughable losers.
