You are not every woman Calipoppy. Not every woman wants what you want. I didn't plan on marrying or having children. I'm happy I have, but I could have been happy unmarried without children. It's just how it worked out.

He's too scared of women to cheat on me
He will usually do what I want to do
I make more money than he does so he isn't going anywhere
He's 'easygoing' (read as: he's a pushover)
Wow, you're judgmental. You're stereotyping. You know nothing about this man. Could be true. Could be false. You really don't know.

Its weird how a man's worth is almost exclusively tied to his ability to please or garner the attention of females, yet the same is not true in the reverse. Labels for people based on courage during pursuit of a relationship are lame. You either have what it takes to get things done, and to support a family or you dont. It doesnt make you some alpha human or anything else, just because you arent scared to do what you want to do, and do what you have to do. It makes you an adult. Ive come across enough men and women who adopt the whole "alpha" mantra, and when push comes to shove, they cant withstand any pressure whatsoever. Not only that, many of the men society considers alphas are typically losers who die young in an effort to be billy badass 24/7...lol..and then their wife moves on and shags some "beta" male after her widowed status makes her feel vulnerable and alone.. There's no prize for being some worldbeater type dude. I say, if you want a family, and are able to have one and support it and protect it, then you're just the man (or woman for that matter) you should be whether alpha, beta, theta or whatever else you want to call it.

I take care of my husband. He takes care of me.

My husband is a big guy and in shape, but he has never been in a fight in his life. He wouldn't have a clue what to do.

Again, we're not all you Calipoppy.

I'm an alpha female and tend to pursue. I also am totally comfortable being single, so I never come on too strong (can go days without talking or weeks without seeing the man I'm dating).

I have, and will continue to go after I want, when I want it.

They are also real people with personalities, aren't they?
And obviously there are women looking for them. Fetch.

Maybe we should just forget about the labeling, alpha male, beta male, omega males. Does it really matter?

Most women want men like your father, grandfathers, uncles, great uncles, cousins, These are great men with very desirable wonderful qualities. Miss, calipoppy.

Great men are great men. Alpha, Beta, Omega, A, B, or Z It really doesn't matter what "label" we give to these men. We just want them!
I can agree with not labeling men and accept that not everyone wants the same thing.
