      Luckily, no. While an alpha male generally has all or most of these symptoms, they could be caused by many different conditions and so having these symptoms alone would not be enoudh to give you that diagnosis.

        IMO, one of the traits of “alpha males” is that they identify themselves as such. So if you’re not convinced that you’re an “alpha male” yourself, you probably aren’t one.

        Also, ironically, they very often are in a cultlike following of some other (in their mind) “alpha” guy.

          To create an alpha male, you start of from someone with anxiety. Then you boost that anxiety by overexposure to various exaggerated examples of masculinity. After that comes the next phase, selling the solution. Tell them they can be alpha if they just follow these people’s recommendations and buy those products. Guide them into a peer group of like minded victims to keep them alpha and keep them buying and done.
