Body language: is it alpha to lean on things?

Jesus, dude. You're taking this alpha thing the wrong way. Let me make it very simple for you. It's "alpha" to DO WHAT YOU WANT. If you want to do it, do it.

Listen, you might lose a few sexiness points in a girl's eyes if some judgy bitch sees you leaning on something the wrong way, but dude, if you are constantly judging all your actions, deciding which one is good enough for you, "Mr. Alpha", to display, you MIGHT come across as confident on the outside, but inside you'll be insecure as shit and that is DEFINITELY not alpha and WILL eventually shine through. So just do what you fucking want and don't worry about shit.

There you go. I just saved you from ever again wondering whether something is alpha or not.

You're overthinking it. State of mind that naturally produces dominant body language is what's important. But since you've asked - it depends, the devil is in the details. To illustrate:

YES, if you do it like this.

NO, if you do it like this.

are you leaning because you are chill and dont give a fuck? or are you leaning because you are weak and submissive and trying to minimize the amount of space you control?

my general rule: if everyone else is standing, sit. if everyone else is sitting, lie down. think about a lion just chilled out saving his energy.

and now with this anti-manspreading campaign, with subway posters and feminist blogs shaming guys who take up excessive space, i make sure to sprawl out as much as possible. submissive betas do as they are told. an alpha is spread eagle across 4 seats.

If you're getting this much into the minutia of what Alpha means you are way ahead of me in the game.
