Forgot to mention the polygamous species; species which both genders f**k everyone equally! tend to be peaceful species , same size between sexes; they do have a lot in common with the monogamous species.

I think the term "alpha" is a bit misused :

https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/articl ... alpha_male

In fact it tends to foster behaviors in men that are very unhealthy. I am very very confident but I am by no means "alpha". I have had men try to assert dominance on me and it never ends well for them (another cool ability I have looking people in the eyes). I never have had a desire to dominate other men or be submissive to them.

I know that in some species there are things that may seem "alpha" but the human race is not one of them. The sooner we get this idea out of our heads as men, the sooner we can get the idea of submissive women out of the culture. Confidence, humor, being easygoing, emotional strength, kindness, backbone, intelligence... these are the traits that human females choose for a partner (it actually differs based on FCT, but that is too much to explain). They are most often attracted to taller men (I have a theory of tall grass to explain this) but even that goes out the window if you are confident and short.

As far as birds go, I don't see that much "alpha" behavior there just the more fit males having more offspring. I can't wait to be a bird on here that is endemic to my area... it seems they are all eastern North American birds :(

Just my 2 cents... did you know I am a millionaire?


Yeah your points are valid Chain. The term "alpha" is a matter of convenience more than accurate description of all males given the label.
