The Alpha FeMale

There used to be a school of thought that there exists an Alpha Male. He of the Adonis-like body and chiseled good looks that every woman lusted after. The Alpha Male was the king of the jungle and the lord of the manor, the metaphorical “quarterback,” if you will. The Alpha Male was given instant respect and attention by everyone. The Alpha Male was so physically imposing and talented that other males were forced to cower in deference. As society has evolved however, the might of the Alpha Male has started to wane. Smaller, weaker men have learned to compensate by being more “sensitive” and “well rounded,” causing many Alpha Males to be denounced as bone-headed Neanderthals.

This leads us logically to the rise of the Alpha FeMale. We have all known many Alpha FeMales in and around our lives. They come in many different shapes and sizes (in fact there is a controversial study that asserts every woman is a wannabe Alpha FeMale). This particular brand of diva is like a moth in that she has an irresistable attraction to the spotlight. The goal of an Alpha FeMale is to make sure that everyone in the room knows she is “the sh-t.” Obviously, the existence of an Alpha FeMale is a lonely one because in their subtle quest for dominance, they are apt to offend and affront other females (with the exception of their close knit association with a few good friends who are then referred to inevitably as “my girls”). We now live in a matriarchial society where women are empowered by intelligence, cunning, good looks, Oprah and Tae Bo. This has led to intense competition within the female community for attention and respect. The Alpha FeMale usually achieves her victories over others by doing anything and everything to make sure that every guy in the room notices her and only her. In this childish but effective manner, the Alpha FeMale asserts her dominance while simultaneously snubbing the noses of every other female in the room. The physical dominance of the Alpha Male has been replaced by the bewitching enchantment of the Alpha FeMale. Elite Alpha FeMales are able to beguile both males and females, much to the chagrin of the few who are not caught within her grasp.

If you have any doubt about the validity of these statements, take a moment at your next social gathering and watch to see who is playing the game and who is slithering her way centerstage at every possible opportunity. There my friend is an Alpha FeMale, whether she knows it or not.
