In Gamespeak, an Alpha Male is a Man who Women in aggregate would choose as a mate based on him possessing the full suite of traits Women have shown to find attractive. Very often, these traits can and often do run counter to conventional notions, such as a prestigious job, vast wealth, or “leading man” looks, although these things certainly don’t hurt.

So, to demonstrate the above, I thought to ask the ladies in the forum who they would choose if it were up them:

Denzel Washington, or Tom Hanks?

Clive Owen, or Will Smith?

Seth Rogen, or Anthony Anderson?

Michael Vick, or Ben Rothlisberger?

Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama?

Daniel Craig, or Idris Elba?

Dirk Nowinski, or LeBron James?

Jamie Foxx, or Matt Damon?

Eminem, or Black Thought?

Lenny Kravitz, or John Mayer?

Bruce Lee, or Steven Seagal?

Jason Statham, or Wesley Snipes?

Take a moment to think of your idea of the hottest NFL stars past and present. Let’s say you could come up with a list of your Top Ten. Question-do either Mannings (Peyton and Eli) appear on it? Please give say, three names from your list.

Now, real quick, do the following names appear on your list of Alpha Males:

Steve Jobs

Warren Buffett

Bill Gates?

Would this name be on this list:

Sean Connery?

Please feel free to elaborate on the choice you made and why you made them. What is it about the choices you’ve selected that “do it” for you? What is it about the ones you *didn’t select* that knocked them out the box?

Note to the Fellas: Please yield the floor to the ladies on this one. Let’s give em till sundown at least, OK? It’s important to allow them to speak.

Ok-let er rip…
