But then again, that’s my point—Alpha males are exciting.

Very exciting.

Alpha males are not necessarily the big, strong, football players that most people stereotype them as (although bulging biceps are never a bad thing). Rather a true Alpha male is of a strong and overpowering personality.

They are the leaders of the pack, the rebels, the bad boys.

They stand apart from the rest of the Beta males like a wolf in a pack of sheep.

I’m not saying that Beta males are baaaaaaaaad, just different.

They are the reliable, sweet, sensitive guys. Some are even cute and cuddly.

But, as I have said before, most women are attracted to the dangerous Alpha males. Their cocky grins can often set a girl’s heart aflutter from 10 yards away.

"Oh my, what big feet you have`85"

Little Red Riding Hood didn’t know what she was missing.

Unfortunately, Alpha males don’t often stick around for very long. After all, they aren’t known for breaking hearts—and straw houses—for nothing.

The big, bad wolves of the world are fun. But it’s the sheep who are safe and secure.

A Beta male may not whisk you off to Rome, but he probably would make you a mean spaghetti dinner at home.

Beta males are often more reserved. They respect women and are sensitive to their feelings.

Unfortunately they can get too sweet. Sure sheep are cute, but they aren’t really dream material—unless you are counting them.

Amazingly there is a third category. A rare crossbreed recently discovered and categorized (by me)—the Gamma male.

The Gamma male is a wolfy-sheep, or a sheepy-wolf; however you want to think about it.

To all appearances the Gamma male may seem like the average Alpha or Beta, but if you look closely he just may surprise you.

A startling mixture of raw, sensual cockiness and sweet, respectful adoration, the Gamma male combines both good and bad from the separate species. A definite catch.

This stunning combination may seem like a dream come true, but I warn you, it is a very rare occurrence. If you think finding an Alpha male is hard, just wait till you have to search for an Alpha-Beta.

Despite their rarity, Gamma males exist, even at Elon.
