@dastrovia:
There is a generalized assumption that any one involved in these forums is interested in 'Personal Development'. I also did not say it 'makes one an Alpha' it simply signifies the activity of an Alpha complex within the person (whether it is dominant or not depends on your involvement). Personal Development (among many other things) is concerned with deliberate personal achievement which can and only is driven by a complex that has 'drive'... Alpha, or the Animus.
The Anima within a person is the feminine complex and the Animus is the masculine complex. Each person has different degrees of activity from these two complexes depending on their growth experiences and how willingly they engage with the Animus inside (or Alpha as we are using it in this thread).
Both complexes exist within each human; men and women both have the Animus and Anima.
Some men willfully engage their own masculinity without hesitation, this manifests as the 'Alpha Male' in a positive format or negative (depending on upbringing and developed beliefs). Women do this too, but I rarely see it dominating women, usually only acting with some form of determination and drive for specific goals.
