Alpha Women We have had considerable said here about "strong independent women". Unfortunately I can't call it discussion since most of it has been in the form of out downs and arguments from men who find the term threatening or offensive for whatever reason and rebuttal from those who are offended.. Like it or not though society has changed drastically over our life times. Those women who find themselves single either whether by choice or circumstance no longer have to fill the role of victim or looser and are able to be successful in life. The attached article summarized the qualities of today's successful woman, whether attached or single. The best part is that we no longer have to be judged by our relationship status. PLEASE NO REDUNDANT HILLARY COMMENTS. WE ALL HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ON HER FOR VARIED REASONS AND BY NOW WE HAVE HEARD AD NAUSEA HOW THE OTHERS FEEL. BESIDES NO HUMAN, MALE OR FEMALE COULD POSSESS THE QUALITIES DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE AND SURVIVE IN POLITICS. TOO BAD BECAUSE SUCH A PERSON WOULD BE A PERFECT LEADER. 21 Ways An Alpha Woman Stands Out From Everyone Else By Jade Small June 28, 2016 LIFESTYLE 1. Naturally confident, followed wherever she goes. Never loud or abrasive, she naturally attracts positivity. 2. Effortlessly moving forward, she seems to “have it all together” where others may fall apart. She let’s life take the wheel, nothing works when you force it. She’s balanced. 3. She never buys her way in. She’s naturally liked because she treats everyone with class and respect. 4. Never a pushover, she tells it as it is – harsh truths mean others see and accept her honesty. 5. Able to handle what she dishes out in return, she’s never afraid of the truth. 6. She learns from positive criticism and simply moves past negative criticism, always able to differentiate. 7. Using common sense as her guide, she knows when to speak out, but also when to stay humble. She knows that either done poorly may negatively affect the outcome. 8. Styled by no other than herself, shes confident. She never follows ridiculous expectations and is happy in her own skin. 9. Knowing that insecurities feed gossip and judgement of others, she refuses to be intimidated by other women, regardless of their looks, achievements or success. 10. She is confident that she is the best version of herself, so she competes with no one else. 11. Well educated on how to walk away from harmful situations, she knows when to get out of bad relationships, friendships and business deals etc. 12. She knows the clear differences between compromise and handing over due to fear, boredom etc. in relationships. 13. Never using people for selfish gains, her motives are clean, giving without expecting anything in return. 14. Surrounded with a firm support group, she expects others to believe in themselves as she does in herself. 15. Putting problems into perspective is easy for her. She assesses the situation fairly and keeps things simple. If things get out of hand, she manages as best she can. 16. Effortlessly communicating with those around her, she leaves no gaps for error or misunderstanding. Her motto being to ask before assuming puts her in first position. 17. Committed to what she wants. She puts her blinkers on and goes for it. She does however know how to accept failure – it’s part of life. Instead of feeling held back, she sees every failure as motivation to do better the next time. 18. Putting her emotions into perspective, she’s on top of things. She isn’t afraid to admit that at times, she’s vulnerable and weak. She also knows that strength comes from these darker places in her life. Never denying her feelings, she rather embraces them. 19. Balancing work and play is a walk in the park for her. She understands the healthy need for both, keeping her focus where it should be at the right times. 20. Learning from her past, she has no regrets. She treats each life lesson as exactly that and embraces the opportunities she’s given to improve. Never allowing herself to be crippled by the past, she’s strong and firm, always looking at things from a new perspective. 21. Bad days are a norm for everyone, she certainly doesn’t allow them to govern her outlook. Possessing great strength and faith, she knows how to pull herself out of a rut and immediately pushes back at life. She knows that a better day will soon be upon her. All she has to do is ask for it. Spiritwoman ^i^ |

I agree about it being unisex. A good leader is a good leader and gender should have nothing to do with it, even if many make it all about it. Spiritwoman ^i^

Excellent points.... and I agree that this would also apply to alpha men.

We guys have a lot to put up with, don't we?

For some reason this post made me think of the music from the Mary Tyler Moore show.  It would take a super woman to be that perfect but us mere mortals try out best. Thanks Spirit.Elaine Shuel

I'm sorry Spirit but the list of 'alpha' defining qualities seems unreal and even vain/conceited. Who this 'perfect' creature and why the need to self define if she is all she is purports to be? Perhaps I have misunderstood its meaning.

Hahaha, me in a nut shell.  You know I'm joking, right?

I don't care for Alpha women at all. I've been involved with them and it was always frustrating. Just not my type, I'm more attracted to introverts, soft women who are incredibly strong in quiet ways and make far better leaders than this list suggests is needed. Spiritwoman ^i^

Believe it or not I am not all that familiar with 90's Women's stuff. That was a time in my life when I was too busy doing to stop and think about gender concerns. I like to think I was somehow very fortunate mot to have to when so many I knew then did. Spiritwoman ^i^

I never knew much about her prior to the debates and still don't. However she lacked the drama of her competitors which may have contributed to her lack of popularity. This election's characters were so far off the wall they completely distracted us by their antics. Spiritwoman ^i^

I'm not sure the list was intended to be completely achievable, just goals and guidelines. Spiritwoman ^i^

I love alpha women! The only problem I have ever had with them is where to set boundaries. There are some things that are none of their business, and they shouldn't stick their noses into them.

I'm not sure anyone consciously strives to be an alpha other than politicians but then in their minds they already are. I see it as the qualities being something to set as a goal. I don't know about others but I strive to be a better person each day. Without guide posts self evaluation is not possible. The catch here is deciding what is a better person. Who's guidelines and evaluation do you use? For me I look at something like this article and decide what I feel will help me improve and grow. It's an internal process and hard to explain. If we are still breathing we should have things to strive for. Without that we just give up on life. Spiritwoman ^i^
