the plight of the alpha female

Is it our downfall to be an alpha female after all?


As a little girl, we all had big dreams but as we reflect looking at our lives over the years....should we have simply been good at cooking, cleaning and finding a rich man?  


The alpha female possesses traits that get her ahead in life:  dominance, confidence, and a take-charge attitude. The alpha female is ambitious, strong and achieves her goals.  All of this sounds good, or even fantastic on paper.  But the bottom line is that these alphas are charismatic and charming women that get what they want in life.  But in the end, does all of this become intimidating for men?  Is it too much to have someone you date who is just as plugged in, successful and worldly?  


I have wondered, my friends have wondered and some men will actually admit that this is somewhat true.  This leaves us with what?  There is a small percentage of men who are successful, confident, comfortable enough and eager to take on the alpha and then there is the rest.  Sighhhhh.  One can only hope that there will be an increased appreciation for the alpha and all that she brings to the table.  After all, we can bring the same level of ambition to all tasks.....
