Per BF's observations and discussions on various threads, I thought it might be useful to have a focused discussion with concrete examples on being "alpha male." The point is well made that the level of alpha male-ness can and should vary from R to R. What is being manly in one R could be abuse in another. But perhaps by focusing on particular situations, we can gain understand of how best to be male and thus encourage our "LD" wives to open up in the best way that we can.
I see this thread as taking on a Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess flavor. I don't know if any of you ever read that book, but it is wonderful, and how I really learned how to play. He would set up a situation with the pieces in a particular spot and say "Mate in 3" and you would either have to figure out how to do it, or stop it. Instead of focusing on boring opening strategies, he focused on the middle and end game tactics which are what ulitimately win games.
So, anyone can put forth scenarios and others can perhaps point out how those actions could be percieved as alpha, beta, or omega male by the W. We've all been doing something like this at times in our own threads, I just thought it might be a good reference to have a thread that focuses on it that we can refer back to later.
Just a thought, hopefully useful, especially if BF hangs around and/or Stig comes back. Anyone care to volunteer a situation they were in recently?
