My 2 cents addition, is that the alpha male is WHAT women Dream about, the handsome, charasmatic, suave, in control being... YET, in REALITY, they want a man they have ultimate control over. as example... from the original post, you obviously, have a PLAN... you have your looks, your life, and your muscles (body) under control. you're also planning on joing the Military!... I'll discuss this more, ( BTW< GOOD for you, I'm going into the Marines, aiming to be a Sniper..)
I've lived in a college town for about 7 years, and WATCH this ALL THE TIME... its actually amazing to study...
this GD hippies, friggin PUNKS, that have no major goal in life, other than to live life as long as possible off mommy and daddy's money, and avoid a job, get more chicks for a few major reasons...
1. they have no life. not being a D*ck, but, this makes it very easy for the woman to control them... you on the other hand have tons to keep you busy, ie, AWAY from them. PLUS, you are MUCH more likely in their mind, to find someone better and leave them.
2. You're, as you describe yourself, an alpha.... ( heheh,, or Delta, army humor!) I feel that I am too, you're faster, stonger, braver, than most... this is what women think they want, but truthfully, they want a fixer-upper, someone they can mold to them, someone that thinks they are a goddess, someone that is amazed that they are with them, and isn't going to stray.
3. more on the military, some women, being fragile creatures as they naturally physically are, are afraid of this... they think that this makes you more prone to violence... war=violence... hippie=peace and love. YOU have to show them the Noble side of why you're choosing this path.... TIMES HAVE really changed man, women see the military as taking their men away from them, and some women would be afraid to start a relationship just because of that, they dont want to fall for you, to have you leave for god knows how long, to god knows where, in danger, and the possibility that you may come back... you may be looking for short term fun with the ladies, but they typically will think in the long term...
4. you THINK too much, these so called 'rules' don't apply to a true Alpha, you see it, you want it, THEN go get it. that is a true alpha mentallity. what do you think a Ranger would do? wait for rules, and follow, or would you rather become a leader. WHAT Do you think allowed us to Storm the beaches at NORMANDY, the true ALphas lead the way, Plowing over everything that stood in their way... apply this to your dating.. if you feel you are an alpha, make it known, have no fear in your approach, and remember there is no way you will retreat.
AS FOR This smack talk about the Military... I HAVE to add in, I'm looking into the Marines Sniper program. they EXPECT 20 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups in under two minutes, and a 3 MILE run in under 28 minutes... 1 mile in 7 minutes... if you think you can do better, show me... I'd love to see that! I don't understand the LIBERAL crap that is talked about the military, not only here, but abroad. yet I'm on onside of the coin, so I am biased. I want to not only defend our country, I want to follow the ONE Tradition that is LARGER and older than our country... the Marines were founded a year before the government. and yes, I'd love the chance to be given BIG guns, and blow some country that opposes us into the stone age, but hey, where would we be now if it were'nt for individuals like RSWARREN, and myself, that are not only interested in improving our lives in the military, but also protecting our own people, some of which don't even appreciate OUR sacrifice, our willingness to DIE for what we feel is right, and moral, and the people we love...
Hell, man, kick A$$, do what you gotta do, and good luck as a Ranger, and as usual, when you Go, Come home. be safe, and good luck!
P.S. one more military 'joke'... its kinda stupid, but hey, its funny to me... so I thought I'd share it...
I saw a bumper sticker the other day, it said,
" USMC SNIPER "
" Don't run, you'll just die tired "
