 The alpha male and masculine power
I alluded to the alpha male idea because it seems as though dominance is a part of it, but it seems to me to be the sort of unaffected, unselfconscious dominance one might call “natural dominance” rather than the theatrical, affected, dominance I see in many a BDSM ‘Dom’.
Alpha males have significantly higher levels of seratonin, this effects the limbic system (which controls your basic emotions and instincts fight, flight, fear, and well sex).

 Alpha Male
Thus, the position of 'Alpha Male' means the male in charge of all the other males in his social group.
The position of Alpha Male is seen as one of the most socially desirable (in wolves as well as humans) as having it enables a male to make decisions about how their social group/pack is run, to exact submission and obedience from subordinates, and generally to control things and boss others around at will.
The power of the alpha male is matched only by that of the alpha female, who is just as in control as the alpha male is. Though in human society, individual ego and desire for authority often exclude the possibility of a partnership at the top.

One of the unforeseen pleasures of writing this series of 18 chapters on Alpha Malehood is the barrage of email I'm getting full of Alpha Male inside info, not to mention guys just walking up to me to tell me their Alpha Male secrets.

 Guardian | Our tribe's alpha male no longer
We somehow expect the tribal chief to be the strongest in the pack, an alpha usually-male who gives off the scent of raw physical power.
This is most pronounced in the US where, as one Democratic speechwriter once put it to me: "There is a subtext of male violence running through all politics." Arnold Schwarzenegger's victory in California seems to confirm that wisdom: voters pick a leader who, on some level, they believe could defend the tribe.
Small wonder that, as Robert Dallek has uncovered in a new biography, John F Kennedy went to extreme lengths to conceal the truth of his desperate ill health: he understood that political power and personal strength were indivisible.

 Notes on Alpha Males, NiceGuys(TM), and Jerks
It is my contention that most human social groups have a male domination hierarchy of some sort, with the more self-confident males near the top and the less self-confident nearer the bottom.
Another thing: A number of people have either said that Alpha Males are defined as the most physically attractive males or that Alpha Males and Jerks are the same thing.
Alpha Males are the benevolent socially dominant males of a group that tend to be leaders, care about people, and that everyone in the group tends to look up to, including the females, and Jerks are abusive headcases who socialize in order to conquer people.

NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown said as far as he was concerned, the lab "is still the International Space Station." Brown "fully believes" that Shepherd's request to use Alpha "is not unlike a call sign for a F-16 pilot." However, call signs in the military tend to be claimed by individual pilots, not their aircraft.
Jeff Vincent, who at the time was the head of NASA public affairs, recalled that a list of pros and cons were generated for each name and presented to Administrator Goldin.
To him, Alpha implies "the first," which he believes is a slight to the 15-year-old Mir space station.

 Hugo Schwyzer: Recruiting the "alpha male" and other thoughts on teaching men and masculinity
Alyric, you are misrepresenting the MBTI to say that any male, no matter what his Type is, is "not all that representative of masculinity." Surely if a man has certain characteristics or qualities, they are, by definition, part of "masculinity"; same thing with women, and femininity in my view.
If I may, Lisa, an alpha male is simply the guy most of the other males “look up to.” Essentially, he’s the cool guy in the group.
But with males, people tend to think of the alpha male as a jock when technically that isn’t mostly the case.
