I'm not sure this means anything at all, just that it was interesting to observe. I would consider myself and the other men I hang out with to be of the alpha mindset. We all share a love for fitness/lifting heavy things, we enjoy looking at sexy women, and embody the traits and qualities of a leader. Outside of our group of about four or five guys who are on the same page with regards to these topics, other men are always asking our thoughts, looking for advice, and are basically the followers of our leadership for lack of better phrasing. Since I began my LTR, every once in a while my girlfriend will say something about one of my friends along the lines of, "He's an asshole," or "He's such a womanizer," or "He sleeps around too much." You get the picture. Keep in mind these guys are not in LTRs at the moment. I think this is hilarious mainly because we treat women the same in terms of the Captain/First Mate style of leadership. She just for some reason doesn't see it as clearly because we are "dedicated" to one person while these guys are dating and sleeping with other women. I may not be sleeping with other women but I always laugh to myself when she says something about one of my friends and I know I have done the same or similar to her with great results.

Just throwing this out there for discussion or relation to similar findings.

Also I am on mobile so not sure how to add flair and this was kind of thrown together sloppily from a random thought.
