Top 7 Alpha Male Traits

If you want to become an alpha male it is important to always remember that alpha’s are made, not born.

Muscle can be built, knowledge can be acquired, and characteristics can be developed.

Let’s take a look at the top alpha male traits.

Confidence

Alpha males are filled to the brim with confidence. Sure they will have periods of self-doubt and moments where they will experience negative emotions like fear and anxiety, we all do.

However, a true alpha male will have the experience and ability to silence those thoughts by conditioning himself mentally to face those feelings head on and to push through and achieve his desired outcome.

True confidence is created by facing your fears over and over until you develop the ability to operate comfortably in any kind of uncomfortable situation.

Strong Body Language

A true alpha male is larger than life and unapologetically takes up more than his allotted space. He might put his feet up on the desk or clasp his hands behind his head or sit with his legs slightly spread in order to present himself in the biggest way possible.

He stands tall with his chest out and head up and will naturally take the lead when walking in a group. He will have a certain swagger and air of purpose about him that is hard to describe but is something that you will know when you see it.

It’s very rare that you will ever perceive a tiny skinny guy or a fat sloppy guy as an alpha male. I’m not saying it is impossible, but most people picture a jacked guy who is in great shape and can fill out a t-shirt properly.

Bottom line… Get to the gym!

Strong Eye Contact

One of the more subtle but powerful traits of an alpha male is his ability to intimidate and command respect simply by the way he looks at you.

Rarely will an alpha ever be the one to break eye contact first and if he does it is at his own discretion and not because he feels nervous or intimidated.

This doesn’t mean that he goes around “mean mugging” people in an aggressive way looking to pick a fight or that he stares at people in a weird way making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Alpha’s simply are well calibrated and know how to use this overlooked skill to assert themselves as strong and confident.

Cool And Calculated Responses

Many people will speak without thinking and often say things that they later regret.

Alphas are different!

They think before speaking and choose their words carefully, often leaving others in suspense, waiting for their response.

Now that doesn’t mean that you leave long gaps during conversations making people wonder if you heard them or understood correctly.

It simply means that they don’t blurt out everything that comes to mind and have the ability to keep their emotions in check when calculating their response.

Competitive

An alpha male trait that we can all agree on is their desire to win!

It doesn’t matter what the situation might be, if there is an opportunity to come out on top and dominate, they will.

Even if he finds himself in a situation that he cannot win, he will go down fighting to his last breath and will cross the finish line on one leg if needed.

Risk Taker

Playing it safe is what people do when they are paralyzed with fear.

Alpha males also feel fear, all humans do. The difference is that an alpha knows that conquering his fears and facing them head on is what will lead him to growth.

This doesn’t mean that an alpha male charges into dangerous or stupid situations like a moron but rather they take calculated risks and are not afraid of venturing into the unknown if they feel that they have a chance at success.

Face your fears head on like a man, you only have one opportunity to leave your mark on this world, will you capture the moment?

Does Not Care What Other People Think

An alpha male is comfortable in his own skin and doesn’t give a damn what a stranger might think of him. He is far too busy and far too confident to even have the time or mental capacity to allow the thoughts of strangers to enter into his daily mindset.

That doesn’t mean that he is delusional or conceited but rather he has developed himself and his lifestyle to such a high level that he simply does not have time to allow the thoughts of others to have any weight or bearing on his day-to-day life.
