Bloomberg “alpha male?”

He’s a sniveling little pipsqueak with a Napolean complex. A butt pirate mommas boy. He had the little violin in the shiny leather case and waited for his mom to pick him up after school - or I mistake him for some other dweeb from my childhood. He would have had to shine my shoes to get on the bus with my crew of “alpha males.”

Well, this is America so you can say whatever you want. But, personally, I would not underestimate ANYONE who built a multi-billion dollar company. Again, I would not vote for him, but I would also not dismiss so easily.

An alpha male’s principal characteristic is that he leads a pack. In Bloomberg’s case, it’s a 20,000 strong pack. How big’s your pack?

A number of people have conflated the way some alphas spend their time - skirt-chasing, with alpha status itself. Now that alphas no longer have life-and-death power over the pack (i.e. the feudal system is dead) in the way alphas in wolf packs do, good-looking and/or charismatic men can always get tail. But unless they command sizeable packs, they are betas in alpha clothing. And they will almost never be able to marry and sire children with intelligent, good-looking and high status women.
