Took a combat hunter's course a while back which focused on reading people's body language and understanding human instincts, both males and females. And while this course focused on identifying the confidence level of another person for the sake of interrogation or combat, many of these principles can apply in chasing tail.
1. Your body language is the biggest signal of confidence (or lack thereof) and you can subconsciously influence another person's behavior using your body language. It's called "Mirroring" and if you have established a good rapport with the individual, they will often times begin to mimic your movements if you have demonstrated a sense of dominance. Body language is also the best indicator of what a person is feeling or what they are planning to do next following your encounter. The next time you're with a woman, if she begins to mirror you (you scratch your nose, she scratches her nose), congratulations. You're dominating.
2. The pitch in your voice and the speed of your speaking are huge indicators if you're lying as well as whether or not you are a confident individual. A higher, faster pace is more appropriate for an anxious person while a lower, slower pace often correlates with a more confident person, or someone who is telling the truth.
3. Our instinctual physiology and the way our anatomy responds to a situation is much more responsible for our natural level of confidence than our cognitive ability to "act" confident. What this means is that our bodies naturally increase in heart rate during a time of anxiety which in turn will affect the pitch and speed of our verbal communication, the sweat in our palms, and the darting of our eyes. While we might be aware of what is happening, it takes a lot of practice to train yourself to respond, instinctively, differently to stressful situation (i.e., being confronted or approaching a good looking woman).
4. Majority of women are born with a different physiology than a man. Men can see better at night as a result of having to evolve as hunters. Women ovulate. Men have a larger capacity for muscle building as a result of higher testosterone production. Men communicate naturally with sensory information (this means sight, sound, taste, touch) and make a reasonable decision based on the processed information. This means men feel, and then we think but never at the same time. Women are capable of feeling while thinking (so, logic + emotion). For this reason, the course paints women to be less reliable and more apt for hysteria (I'm sure there are some benefits, too).
Women were not built as equals to men, and this has nothing to do with religion's interpretation. As far as which gender is better or more dominant is something I'm sure you could argue for days. At the very least, men could kill more women than women could kill men in a melee. So there's that.
You want to know if you're truly Alpha? Go get shot at and then report fight or flight. Report which condition you went based on
Cooper's Color Code. It's very surprising who actually has a pair of balls to act on. It's not always who you'd think. And that says more than how well you can attract the opposite sex.
If you survived an apocalyptic event, would you be a -1 or a +1 to the rest of the community? I think that matters more than determining who's "omgsoAlpha".
