Alpha women have always been around, but today they seem to be everywhere. Our society now encourages an alpha woman to be herself rather than trying to fit into an outdated mold. Women’s liberation, feminism, civil rights, whatever you want to call it, well, it’s having an effect.
Back in the day, women were taught to be wives and mothers. Very few professions were open to women. She could become a teacher, nurse, cook and a few other things, but the top jobs, the best paying jobs were reserved for men. HE was supporting a family, after all.
That’s all changed. Women participate in all types of jobs, they love sports, they work out and they develop their talents. And that just an average woman.
The alpha female will push herself to the max. She wants to achieve, to win. She’s confident and she more than holds her own in competition with the guys. She puts in the effort, she does her homework, and she knows what she’s talking about.
She plays office politics and she’s good at it. She keeps herself fit and trim, she dresses well and stays attractive without looking cheap. Not above flirting with senior management, either.
In my experience, the mature alpha woman’s personal life is, contrary to legend, usually pretty good. Most often, she’s in a stable, loving marriage, sometimes with children. Her husband is also in a successful career, and they both work long hours, but the lifestyle fits their needs.
The younger alpha is another story. She may go from guy to guy, not willing to invest in a long-term relationship. She often lacks the finesse of an older alpha, but makes up for it with long hours, a hard-nosed attitude, and lots of attention to male supervisors.
My opinion is based on personal observations, not scientific evidence. To get my prejudices on the table, I like alpha females. They are a challenge, they keep you on your toes and they can be a lot of fun.
Maybe that’s why I started this blog.
