204: The Allure Of The “Alpha Male”

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

Today, Matt answers a question from a listener who feels she is independent, successful, and ambitious, but is only meeting guys who fit a more "beta" male stereotype (who take the backseat in a relationship), rather than the driven "alpha" guys she would like to meet.  Matt talks about some practical strategies to meet the right kind of person for you, and how to think about the qualities that you value and seek out in a relationship.
