As one who considers himself to be at least a partial Alpha Male, allow little old me to toss in a caveat that ONLY applies to me.

Over the decades I have not attained some of the goals mentioned in the essay. One of the reasons for this has been the strong desire from an early age to avoid others who want control over me.

Bosses, politicians, bureaucrats, so many entities that want to control me, including females.

Living as a “social animal” it is impossible to avoid all control by others but it can be minimized.

However, sacrifices must be made.

Thus, no female companionship within a marriage scenario. Oh, sure, tried the live together routine when younger but gave up on that over 20 years ago and have huddled within the shanty alone since then. Alone but quite happy.

Did not follow the proverbial money trail since existing within the corporate structure held no appeal and, at times, the mere thought of being a corporate droid led to repulsive dread of “being a team player” within the constructs of BIG business.

What I write of applies only to me, my psyche, my persona. Assuredly there are Alpha Males who fit right into “the scheme of things.”

But, to be what I am, outside the norm, free-thinking and happier than average from my viewpoint, some sacrifices had to be made.
