5 Alpha-Male Characteristics You Should Develop

1 - Watch Your Body Language

Stand and walk tall. Maintain eye contact with people. Studies have shown that the more eye contact a person makes during the conversation the more dominant they are perceived to be.

2 - Your Voice

Control the conversation. People who use a soft and quiet voice can sometimes come across as being submissive.

3 - Speaking too much

Okay, controlling the conversation doesn't necessarily mean having verbal diarrhea and talking the hind legs off a donkey! Don't use unnecessarily long sentences! Brevity gives the impression of being self-assured. Keep to the point.

4 - Be Relaxed

Leaders are calm, collected people. Don't be belligerent with people.

5 - Excessive Smiling (Don't do it!)

Of course, be happy, but this doesn't mean you have to grin like a loon constantly. Beta males (opposite of Alpha Males) smile to show they are not a threat to people. Alpha males only smile when there's something to smile about.

Your life will improve considerably if you learn to become the alpha male. Not just in personal relationships, but also with work.
