Ten Characteristics of the Alpha Female

The Highly Successful, Self-Confident, and Independent Woman

The alpha female is supreme among other females. She is also the queen among them. Other females often look to the alpha female for leadership. However, there are some females who feel threatened by the alpha female because this female tolerates no nonsense and does not believe in gameplaying and upmanship. Now here are the ten characteristics of the alpha female:

(1) She is not embarassed to ask for what she wants. Her motto is life is for takers and participators. Being indecisive and wishy washy is not in her vocabulary.

(2) She enjoys being on an equal or superior spar with men. She believes that men are just other people, no more. She does not believe in playing the weak damsel in distress. In fact, this affectation would sicken her to say the least. Any man who is threatened by her is easily and summarily dismissed. Her motto-little boys need not apply!

(3) She is not passive in pursuing any type of pleasure. She is often the initiator regarding seeking all avenues of fulfillment including sexual. She is proactive regarding approaching her life and believe that life is for the active and aggressive!

(4) She does not mind being wildly and uninhibitedly feminine and sexy. To her, being feminine, beautiful, and sexy is analogous to being independent and liberated. She clearly does not view being beautiful, feminine, sexy, liberated, and independent as oxymorons.

(5) She does not mind if a man earns less than she does as long he contributes to the relationship and to the household. She does not subscribe to the outmoded paradigm that men must always outearn women. She often does not mind being the breadwinner in the family if need be.

(6) She believes in having a career to establish her self-worth and independence. For her, a career means power. To her, there is nothing worse and more debilitating than to be a stay at home wife and mother.

(7) She thrives on being in responsible positions and being in charge. To reiterate, she believes in being a participator and contributor in life, not just a passive spectator. If she does not contribute, she does not fully feel alive!

(8) She does not believe in the concept that one become less agile with age. To her, age is just a number. She is the type of woman who often remains vital in her old age. She just does not succumb to stereotypes regarding aging. Think of Betty White, an octogenarian who keeps going strong and gets more feisty and stronger with each passing year!

(9) She does not believe in complaining and whining. To her, complainers and whiners are toal whimps who should be horsewhipped into sanity and maturity! Shall I say more!

(10) She takes no quarter and believes in no excuses. This is totally self-explanatory. Her motto is each person has what she strives for and deserves. Nothing more and nothing less!

Now you have my synopsis on the ten characteristics of the alpha female. The alpha female is totally unique among other women! In fact, she is a prototype of the 21st century woman!

I never gave myself a Title before...Oh yes, I think of myself as a Wife, a Mother, a Grandmother, A Lover and a Friend and of course a Writer. So I guess another title would be an "Alpha Female". Good subject GmWilliams, and informative read as well.
