it's unsexy!
a female with a chip on her should is more like an arrogant man, nobody likes to be around them. who's going to cook my dinner and turn the lights on before I get home?
I have dated an alpha dog realized fast it's not my thing.

CassaGo, I played a LOT of soccer and, sadly, must admit that I am a lesbian.

I think that being an alpha dog, shot caller, bossy or whichever way you want to phase it, is a sexy trait to have. From my limted experinence in life, I've noticed that people who have this type of personality never seem to have trouble attracting the opposite sex. However, it can be a bad thing if you are overly ambitious by always wanting your way and not showing any considereation for others. If your like this then you may not have trouble getting a date or finding people who are interested but once they get to know you they will start to despise you.

OMG wow cabin fever you can't even make a friendly little joke in this forum without my height being attached.... and by the way, us vertically challenged people of 5'3 don't like to be called short - lol

The other OMG is that i didn't think that being active and playing sports could really be pigeoned holed into a sexual thing - being a lesbian because of a sport you play - HOLLY WOW! never thought being athletic, competitive made ppl think that but hey if that's how the narrow mind works!

Lighten up ppl! Most women our proud if they can stand on their own to feet! When I see the words independent and its attached to a woman I think to the men she is really try to get across that she is "emotionally" independent....not cling won't wine and ask him to do things that she can do etc. Men on the other hand look at that word or "alpha" and get this perception that this means a pushy, chip on their shoulder type of person who is only out for oneself etc.

Again, two different languages (male / female) trying to understand each other.

these comments from the guys are encouraging. I have found that the males who are intimidated by me, aren't my type anyway...don't have the same values I hold or many other things you need to have a real relationship.
I know myself well enough that if I can't be me
well, I just can't be.

Turn on to me. I tend to have a low stress attitude, so I prefer people that are high stress, high maintainance.

I'm in such poor financial shape that I'd love to meet someone in better shape. I want to raise a kid or two but I can't afford to do that as a working dad if I want to send the two I have to college. Odd heh? I've always had this strong parental instinct but only got to raise my own kids for 2 years before the big D. I'm starting my financial life over for the 3rd time due to a ruined buisness in divorce then again from a physical disability.

Alpha personalities have this quiet confidence. Those who think being "alpha" means being loud, bossy, obnoxious are not conveying the "I'm an Alpha" message. They're conveying: "I'm desperate to prove that I'm not a Beta".

And about dumbing down yourself to avoid "intimidating" men ... A chick who thinks I'm an idiot, what could be sexier than that?

Only men who suffer from low self-esteem and self image have problems with strong women.

Although you say one thing, your words convey another meaning. I read your meaning as: "It is ok for a woman to say she knows what she wants as long as it coincides with what I want."

And I add: While there is nothing wrong with a MAN "knowing what he wants" and being able to "hold his own," one that tends to be code-speak [sic] for a control freak insufferable biotch with 10,000 tons of attitude, not one gram of it is good.

Except I changed your grammatical errors; I am an insufferable grammar Nazi.

All the men who complain about dominant women, leave 'em alone--it is just THAT simple.

Methinks this is true--for both men and women.

It's a fine line that's for sure.

I can handle it but she had better be smart enough to ebb and flow with it. Really smart ones will know what they want, tell you, make a forward move and then let the guy make the real power move. Because they know that is traditional and too often the other way has failed too often for them.

For me to accept I personally need to know there is more there than just attitude or physical attraction. Which is partially why the last time an Alpha Female made moves on me I was not impressed enough to join her after her shift was over. Attitude is like EGO -- Everyone's Got One. Intelligence isn't.
