Do we have any alpha males/females on this board? You guys know ths types, the ones who always have to dominate any social situation. If there's two of one gender in a social situation you'll know it cause there will be arguing. These types always have to be in charge and control the conversation/plans, and generally make themsevles very known to others.If you dont' know one, you probably ARE one. It seems like there's always at least 1 of these folks in any group of people. The males are especially aggravating. The ones i've known are often leos or capricorns, but they fall under other sign. Anyway, whats with these people....why are they so annoying!! I guess they make good politicians or leaders but blech they irrritate me. IP: Logged |

at BRyes my mom is a Leo/Pisces and is TOTALLY THAT!!!!! and my Libra uncle is like that too. he says the most judgemental things in this totally 'my way or the high way' tone and has to dominate the room with his boring monotone speeches even if there are 15 other ppl around him. i bet if he ever met even like einstein he wouldnt shut up and give the guy a chance to talk..... grr now im so p-issed I think i used to be a lot more obnoxious in my childhood becoz my mom encouraged that, the behavior that was like herself. In reaction that, when I Realized that, i went 180 opposite, and will try like crazy to integrate everyone into conversations now, even if its not possible or jus plain weird. Love SG IP: Logged |

In defense of Capricorns, there are quite a few of us that are mellow. In fact, I would probably only display that kind of alpha-maleness either when provoked, or when surrounded by people who are very loyal to me. Neither happens all that often.Aries, I believe, are frequently alpha-male types. They're often loud, and talkative. They are ruled by the the warring god, and love a good fight. They often push for their way, and openly sulk when they don't get their way. My Aries roommate tries to take advantage of me whenever he can mostly by taking or using my stuff without regard for my wishes. There are three Aries in my immediate family, so I feel like I know them fairly well. I would venture a guess that you could find that alpha-maleness in Scorpios as well, but I don't get to study them enough to know for sure. Perhaps, the Cardinal signs (Cancer, Aries, Libra and Capricorns) just are all too full of themselves. I could see myself in that group at least to some degree. : ) IP: Logged |

libras think they're the best thing since sliced bread ..DEFINITELY TRUE......mostly the men though....libras think they are perfect for some strange reason... I have NOTHING against capricorns, one of my favorite signs....I think aries and scorps tend to go towards alpha too sometimes, many caps are quite submissive...i've seen alphas of most signs, minus virgos and pisceans...

Most alpha guy I know is Leo. I wish they didn't have that streak Leos, because other than that I'd like them.. but I can't take the EGO :| It's bad and usually sadens me to see it. I know, I'm a sukLibras, hmm a lot of people say they see that in Libras. I never see it. Capricorn girls, the ones I know, are very jovial and the life of the party usually without being egotistical or alpha like.. IP: Logged |

Well..... I dominate.. but I do it in a playful way... and if someone is having a great time without my two cents, I go with the flow.. it isn't all about Me this Me that.... But I definately have alpha tendancies. I am not an alpha though, I see a situation and don't immediately think. "They need me!", But if the good times aren't to be had, I will make them, damnit. Even if it takes acrobatics!Hmm.. in other words, in the heirarchy, I am noticed and usually hold position.. even if I think I m blending. *It's actually because you said if you don't know any alphas, you are the alpha....

I've mostly seen leos and gems as alpha-males...I actually mentioned one leo(w gem asc & cap moon) at this forum, who can also be called an alpha-male...very annoying to be around.IP: Logged |

Oh yeah .. I agree with the Libra thing ... Every male Libra I know has this arrogance about them that annoys the crap out of me ... The are so aloof and think they know EVERYTHINGI have lots of guy friends and the ones who always seem to take center stage are Leos .. i think least likely would be pisces, aqua and virgo (they generally in their own little world where they are the kings and have no need to stand out or take charge) Just look around and see who are the bosses and managers and find out their sign Scorps are just power hungry and Aries always have to be in the mix IP: Logged |

Aquaintance-wise, the biggest alpha female I have come across was a sun Leo moon Virgo. She was way too alpha for me. Alpha males... I'll have to think. Well, I'll nominate my dad (sun Capricorn moon Sagittarius with Libra rising) - his way or the highway describes him down to a t. The biggest alpha male I've met was through my sister-in-law. I don't have his birthdate so don't even know his sun sign but he looks very Leo/Sagittarian and acts it too so I'm just hoping I'll find out his details to check up on him. His ego is HUGE in a kind of nice way but he's very loud and dominates every gathering. Friendly though. Very friendly. Just loud! Plus he has a huge mane of lovely hair which again makes me think Leo. Touchstone IP: Logged |

I meant this post to be more just about how annoying alphas are...and really how to deal with them...but hey whatever!Someimtes if you don't pay attention of acknowledge these people they get extremely upset, but then acknowledging them can be such an intense experience that you want to avoid them. But if you avoid them then you get punished. It's a lose lose situation. My way of dealing with them is to SHOWER them with false attention when i first see them, then basically ignore them for the rest of the time unit. How do you guys deal with them? The worst alpha i've known is a capricorn. Gemnis and scorpios follow in second. Leos I think are natural alphas and don't really try for it, and therefore they don't annoy me as much. I feel like geminis and scorpios struggle to maintain alphaness. In fact many gems and scorpios i've met have a kind of "please love me pleas appreciate me" thing going for them. Kinda weird IP: Logged |

Why did that crack me up lol. Yes, acknowledging can really be an intense experience. Because it's very hard to get rid of them once you acknowledge. They become leaches, some of'em anyways. I just try to walk away in the quietest way possible.. I wait until we get to a reflective surface, so they stare at themselves and forget I'm there, and I make a run for it IP: Logged |

Almost the same thing here...I really just avoid, don't talk to them at all, it's a total waste of time...and it's kinda fun to see how much they "suffer" when they don't get the attention they crave..the guy I'm talking abt(leo sun/cap moon/gem asc), can never sit still, always HAS to talk, impatient, loud, and he also ALWAYS has to interfere in other peoples work...the guy has a lot of social phobias etc...maybe a little off-topic here, but one day us guys went out to have a little fun, so we all decided to bring some other friends with us all well, but as soon as leo/cap/gem heard about this, he refused to participate,and almost panicked about "ppl outside the circle" participating:S...really, when he's around us, he's always in the mood to the something, loud, obnoxious, arrogant, always craving attention, insulting other people when he doesn't get any attention etc, but this day he just refused to participate and be the "outgoing" person he acts like. My point with all this?: Alpha-people(the obnoxious ones) have social phobias! IP: Logged |

It's a lose lose situation. ________________________________agree with you there BR, these alpha ppl jus dont realize that they are bugging the heck out of other people. they think they are gods gift to us mere mortals...they love to hear themselves talk. they just want other ppl to breathe, thats good enough... i can get so irritated that ill get that little twitch in my lips if someone extremely alpha-ish is around. then ill go and drink something ice cold and try to ignore them, or pretend that the last 15 minutes did not happen. i repeat this to myself. _______________________________________ "My way of dealing with them is to SHOWER them with false attention" ______________________________________ for some reason I thot u said "my way of dealing with them is to shower with them" i was like whoa....i had to read it a couple of times to really see what was there. love SG IP: Logged |

An unanswerable question.....If you shower with an alpha, do you still feel dirty? IP: Logged |
