Most people are familiar with the Alpha male, he is dominant, strong and competitive. But he’s not the only man of interest. The Omega male also seems pretty amazing.
When you think of a successful man, you general think of the alpha male, and other types don’t seem to get much attention. This is a shame, and it’s time to recognize other male types as well.
Types of Males:
1) The Alpha Male
The alpha male is who you think of when you hear the word “cave man”. He is an attention seeker with a rather large ego. His goals are strong, he must be the strongest, fastest and more resilient. Competition is a must, and he will compete against anyone in any area. He is “top dog”.
