An 'alpha male' is not some profligate wretch, but since you seem to be equating alpha with someone possessing criminal qualities, lets call him the 'alpha-beta' male. Someone who is 'honest, caring, loyal, polite guy', along with being strong and protective.
And how can a relation be A RELATION with out these 2 ???
One who is not willing to protect is not a MAN, to begin with.
I am unable to see the point beside, being macho turns ppl on.
