What Women Really Want In Relationships And Marriage Part 5 The Man Of Their Dreams And What He Looks Like

Edit Posted by Unknown with No comments
No discussion of what women want could be complete without discussion of the Alpha Male. Female readers sound off about what they think about the Alpha Male. In short, they WANT him, NOW!

I have tons of e-mails (mixed metaphor, anybody? LOL!) from women about their reactions to the alpha male, his personality, behavior, bearing, leadership, etc., and since alpha male behavior triggers automatic, biologically-based attraction response, this is indeed something very important you must understand if you truly want to be a man who knows what women want. I'll give you some examples...

Check these out:


David,

Where can I get a man that will propose to me in a dip at the end of a Flamenco? I watch that dance sequence in "The Mask of Zorro" all the time because it's better than any romance novel at getting me juiced up. It's just too hot for words! And that fire in Aleandru, and the determination in Delavega, they are so smooth and so hot, and just take charge of everything around them, as if no matter how bad things have been or could get, they own the world they walk on! GAWD! Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to tend to something... ;-)

David,

Just some affirmation from one of your female readers... I loved what you had to say today about the Alpha Male! And from this female's perspective, you're right on target. There is nothing sexier than a man who knows what he wants and sets out to get it, but still takes care not to trample on others to get there. It sounds lame, but "careful determination" is high on my list of traits that I'm looking for in a mate. I want the man who will set out boldly in the direction he desires, who will make sure he has gathered all the necessary data and considered all the important points of what his next step should be, so that when he makes each step, it is bold, sure, and determined. There is nothing wimpy about this man, because even though he's careful and considerate, he is those things in a way that comes across as prepared and in control, not insecure and second-guessing. He has all the facts, and he operates from logic and knowledge -- he IS the Alpha Male. From this gal's point of view, you've got it nailed! Thanks for your insights!

Hi David!

I have your book, and I've been reading your newsletter for a long time now, and I'm starting to wonder why you've not yet been on "Oprah". I keep forwarding your stuff to my guy friends, and some have said they've subscribed. The others just don't get it. They continue to cower before the women around them, feeding us B.S. compliments in a sorry effort to win our approval, never realizing that if they want our approval, the first thing they have to do is stand up and stop seeking it.

Then they have to listen. They need to recognize when we're serious about something and when we're playing, when we're really having a crisis and when we're just testing to see how much drama they'll put up with, and when we're testing to see if they're going to act like men or wimps, they need to calmly tell us to "put our big girl panties on" and straighten up. When we're having a real crisis, we want a man to be strong enough to hear the outpouring of a problem without trying to jump to our rescue, and then tell us get on with handling it, and let them know if they can be of assistance, instead of getting frantic with us and assuming that we're frantic because we can't handle it ourselves. We can. We handle ourselves differently than men, but the vast majority of us do handle ourselves. It takes strength and brains to be that man, one who can recognize the difference between expressing crisis and a plea for help and being considerate enough to act appropriately, and those who are that man are the most desirable of all.

They also have to have themselves together enough to have fun with us. We don't like being around sappy, whiney dorks, or boring sticks in the mud. We want to be with achievers, as you call them, who get things done and feel like they've earned a good time, and can have one, and bring us into it at will with laughter and enthusiasm. God! How we hate to hear the words, "I don't know, what do you want to do?"

Yes, we're hard to understand sometimes, and most of us know it, but more and more of us are getting past that dime novel idea that men should just know everything. We're realizing that we don't really want them to "just know," but that we do want them to recognize it when we tell them, however subtly we may express it. To that end, many of us are starting to speak out in forums like this, because the time for improvement is at hand, and we all, men and women, deserve better.

Whoever these women are, they either have or will have a good man. The first certainly seems to be saying that she'll accept nothing less than a true alpha male, one who is strong, but earns his way through the world - he doesn't just beat somebody over the head and take what he wants, he works for it, knowing that he can earn it and is worthy of having it. In Objectivist philosophy, this is called "rational self-interest," and is the cornerstone of appropriate human behavior, especially for anyone wanting to be happy and enjoy self-esteem, because such achievement is self-esteem's only source.

The second seems to be confirming, albeit more verbosely, everything the first says. In short, they want this "alpha male" in their life, and aren't leaving us to guess who he is and what he looks like anymore.

When you've finished "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage," you might want to follow it up with one of Ayn Rand's novels, like "The Fountainhead," or "Atlas Shrugged." They are incredibly well-written, and project man as a truly heroic being, strong, logical, motivated, walking tall and moving through life with a purpose, an image that every woman wants to see every time she looks at her man, not just because it's exciting, but because they are "biologically wired" to recognize such characteristics and respond to them - it's called "attraction." (Now there's a clue!)

I've included pages upon pages of instruction and examples of how to be this man in "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage," and Gentlemen, the women are constantly saying, "Hell YES! This is what I want!" so pay attention! The choice is yours; choose well, and jump immediately to http://www.makingherhappy.com, because life is just too short to spend it bored and wanting.

In the meantime, live well, be well, and have a wonderful day!
