Giving below some of the Alpha Men of our times, who have set examples for us to follow. Choose your role model:

1. James Bond - No, he is not a hackneyed name. He is a true Alpha Man and we can really learn how to be an Alpha Man by studying any or all the stars that have played Bond over the years. Each one of them have carried their own brand of charisma, physical appearance, glances, presence, style of delivery of speech and most importantly none of them ever appeared “desperate” for women.

If you recall, in all movies, Bond is initially rejected and resisted by women, who think him to be a quintessential glib-talker and a professional Player. But ultimately it is his supreme confidence and die-hard stance that get him all that a man desires, women and government secrets!

2. Mel Gibson - Whatever your personal views are about this man, it is undeniable that he has left behind the mark of a true Alpha Man. From the enticing charm displayed in Lethal Weapon, to his body beautiful in Braveheart and Maverick, to the tall, strong and silent strength in The Road Warrior, you can not help but admire him. Also important to note is his typical alpha trait of hard-core aggression and initiative: he gets his movies made!

3. Richard Burton - A man who redefined style and manhood in totality. Hard to find another man who can add so much rugged, earthy style to such ordinary, everyday activity like smoking and drinking. And talk of feminine attracting charm - his eyes talked! I remember reading a photo essay of him next to his Lady Love Elizabeth Taylor. The photo caption read: “exuded complete, utter manliness”. I could not agree with it more. What I call a complete man, see “Where Eagles Dare” to get a glimpse of the way he carried himself.

4. Abraham Lincoln - If you ever feel disheartened by failure, pick up an autobiography of this great man. He met several failures and turned each one into an opportunity till he became one of the greatest statesmen America has ever had. His stand on honesty and strength of character, is a lesson for all of us. And when it comes to women, he proves that the most deplorable one also gets laid.

Did you know that the level of interest and attraction which a woman feels for you is inversely proportionate to the rate of your availability? Amazing but true, women do NOT want a man to be AVAILABLE at her beck and call. She calls and you answer the phone all the time. What impression does she get? That you don’t have anything to do but to answer phones! Here a little pretension helps. Even if you don’t have anything to do, pretend you are busy, pretend you have thousand appointments, and pretend you are racing against time. Remember the rarest species of cats are photographed and talked about - not the pet in your backyard.

Here are some general principles of availability:

Make sure you are available ONLY TWICE A WEEK to meet up with her. If timings clash, sorry, wait till next week. If she is genuinely interested in meeting you, she will change her own schedules

Use the voice mail more often when you are dating. You leave her guessing and hankering for more of you.

Don’t be near your phone on Friday or Saturday nights. What a useless man you are, you should be at the most exclusive pub or rollicking with your “numerous” other friends that evening.

Play hard to get and forgetful when it comes to returning her calls. Otherwise you give the impression; yeah I was just waiting for your call baby.

During the very initial days of dating, speak to her only on the phone and that too basically to fix up the next meeting date. If she prefers to prolong the conversation, you politely ease out, promising to catch up with her, when you actually meet.

Make 90 minutes your Cinderella hour. Never give her the impression that you really don’t have much to do before or after that slot. If indeed you don’t have anything to do, take a stroll, go for a movie alone, but limit your meeting time to just 90 minutes. Of course you can be flexible, if the date hits a high note and you both are truly enjoying yourselves. Choice is yours.

Some say that dating is almost extinct. For the older single, dating is desired but yet also viewed with a bit of skepticism. Will he show up? Will she expect me to pay for dinner? And then there is the stilted conversation that has its own shaky movements like an old automobile that’s ready to expire.

Is there an easier way?

In my workshops, I have encouraged women to find their passion - not just as a possible way to meet new people and men in particular, but because it enriches their lives. Finding what fulfills us is empowering. One woman admitted that she liked to help others but was shy. I thought this was an interesting observation because she could turn it to her advantage in meeting new men. I suggested that as she was actually doing something within a group, it could possibly ease her discomfort in a new setting. She already had been doing that to an extent in a group she has been a member of for years. I encouraged her to revisit another group that caught her eye years ago but had discontinued attending. She seemed open to the idea.

Since dating can be intimidating to many, involvement in a group can be a much more comforting thought. I like groups that focus on a project such as Habitat for Humanity or a local soup kitchen. When we volunteer ourselves, we have a wonderful opportunity to meet other generous souls. These are the souls worth knowing.

Taking classes is another very good thing. Learning creates a lively environment which can open the door to interesting conversations. When our minds are stimulated, it leads to different perspectives. Good conversation can easily lead to continuing at a coffee house or restaurant. Those are the kind of interactions that are memorable and affective.

If you are in a place in life where you want to meet someone special, try different approaches but get involved with a group. It certainly beats sitting with someone who is telling you for the fifth time how his toilet problem stumped the plumber.
If you are someone who is suddenly faced with the prospect of entering the dating world after years of absence, here are a few tips:

  • Look at dating as a way to meet new people and learn new things. Our society is filled with information and dating provides one more way to acquire knowledge. Even if you’re not attracted to the person sitting across from you, you may learn about a new restaurant, an interesting vacation destination, or how to invest in the stock market. Take these nuggets of information as gifts for entering the dating world.

  • Be prepared to pay your own way. Some men will offer to pay for a dinner or coffee, but not all men do this. If you really want to make an impression on a man, offer to pick up the tab. He will be pleasantly surprised and even if he insists on paying, he will secretly be touched by your offer.

  • Look your very best. This may go without saying but I’ll say it anyway. The simple fact is this: men are attracted to attractive women. You don’t have to look like a fashion model but at the same time, you want to present an attractive package. Splurge on a fantastic hairstyle, make-up, and choose an outfit that flatters you. Not only will this give you a boost of confidence, you’ll send a message to those around you that you think of yourself as a luscious, desirable woman. Believe me, men notice.

Dating can be a fun, casual way to get to know people. Give others the benefit of the doubt, though. The first date is ripe for embarrassing moments. It’s typical that both parties are nervous. Even if you didn’t feel that elusive “chemistry” on the first date and the person asks you for a second date, go for it! Many couples have said that their first dates were disastrous but they gave the other person a second chance. Today, they’re still happily involved.

So take a deep breath, and start discovering great places for those first dates!
