Is it better to go out with a guy who is at the top of your league, or one who is at the bottom of the next league above? No such thing as 'one human being superior than another' of course - but you see my point! Your time starts now, you lovely-lovelies! Many thanks! Fifthquadrant. Reply to this Question

Its a guy who is mentally and physically superior to other males.

In my view an alpha male is a babboon.
A man who will start touching his crotch and getting fidgetty if another man overtakes him on a roundabout, and who will square up and use intimidation on lesser males.
They are un-evolved humans who believe in "leagues" and tell their girlfriends how lucky they are.
[Although I think the whole league thing is a lot more common in America since your society is far more class based. Any Yanks willing to clarify?]
What I want in a man is someone who is confident and strong and can act like an alpha male if the situation demands it, but is also a gentleman and will back off if he's more likely to succeed that way.
Brawn is nice to look at but brains are more important.
If I wanted a true "alpha male" I'd go and hang around the prisons on release day.
Good Luck!! xx

 'Alpha Male' A Man who is confident in ANY situation... shows no insecurities. A Leader. Extremely intelligent, Not necessarily successful, but stives to get there. Not afraid to take chances. Has a mind of his own. Outgoing.
Out of your league means "Too much to handle"
I would rather date someone who is at the "Top of the league." I like this kind of guy, because I like being with someone that I can look up to. I don't like being in the "Lead", but I like having a "say" in decisions. I can get pretty fiesty if a man tries to be too much of an "Alpha" with me.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 October 2008): This question had me really stumped. I had an arranged marriage. The first thing my mom told me on seeing my husband in person was "Don't marry him. He is way out of your league." By that I think she meant 1)He is much better looking than me 2) He is of a higher social strata than me 3) He is much more successful in his career. She was worried that after a few years he might find someone better looking or in any way better than me. Seems like "the out of league" advice didn't work. It's been 5 years and he is more in love with me than ever. So it's better to go out with a guy who you genuinely respect and love forgetting the "league" factor. Yeah at times his family might not accept you due to the league factor but it's up to us to prove them that we genuinely love the guy they care so much about. According to me a nerd or geek who would treat me with respect and love is much better than an arrogant and conceited alpha male any day.
