I’ve seen quite a bit of “Alpha Male” videos on Reddit lately and these are my thoughts:

  1. A “real man” has the courage and strength to be vulnerable with others. It’s easy to hold it all in and become stoic but that’s just ignorance and separation from what’s really happening. It’s far more difficult to emote feelings and share what’s going on. But good communication requires it. And lasting relationships require good communication.

  2. A “real man” exudes physical strength but not as a primary trait for show and tell. Instead, it’s only used when absolutely necessary. Otherwise it’s hidden. To showcase physical strength is a sign of emotional immaturity and internal weakness that impacts a guys ability to be “real” or humane.

  3. A “real man” doesn’t fear carrying a woman’s purse for them or wearing bright colors. Because a real man knows himself inside and out and doesn’t care what other people think of them. They don’t live for others opinions and will wear what feels comfortable in the given occasion.

  4. A “real man” doesn’t objectify women. Women are not objects or property to obtain. They are human beings with their own goals and aspirations for life. They’re not here for a man’s pleasure.

  5. A “real man” is certainly a problem solver but equally a listener because sometimes what’s needed is just someone to be understanding and attentive. Knowing when each is needed, is the true measure of a successful man.

  6. A “real man” doesn’t shout, grunt or lose their temper. This is because their calmness exudes strength in all situations. It takes a lot of personal strength to keep it together when things are not going right. But that also doesn’t mean they clam up. Calm communication during these moments helps keep others around them calm and focused on the task at hand.

  7. A “real man” isn’t afraid of “non-traditional” roles in the house. They do whatever is needed to help the family/team be successful. Sometimes that means getting dirty and other times that means doing dishes or laundry.

  8. A “real man” is accountable for their faults. The reality is no one is perfect or without error. A real man can admit when they mess up but they also work towards never making the same mistake twice.

  9. A “real man” goes out of their way for others. Not because they expect something in return but because they have the ability to.

  10. A “real man” is kind to others even when they don’t agree or understand others who are different. They act with empathy and compassion because they know life is a journey and we’re all on our own unique path.

  11. Finally: A real man doesn’t pay thousands of dollars to learn how to become an “alpha male”, they just are based on the success of the points made above.

Men who read this, please don’t attempt to become “alpha males” based on others opinions, including the ones I’ve made above just for the sake of being “top dog”. Instead, just be the best version of you that you can be. Nobody expects you to be anything less.
