Are alpha men psychopaths? No. They are taking usually perceived negative traits and turning them around to benefit their patient. Can you imagine the precision of a surgeon who is emotionally involved with a patient? They wouldn’t take the risks needed to perform life saving procedures. Think of it as glorifying any ruthlessness you may have to exhibit… it’s done for the greater good. I’m not saying be an asshole. I’m saying be confident and pay little attention to what people may say about you.
