Lauliza, that is my point. All sorts of people, from shy and introverted to adventurous extroverts get married and are in relationships, so to say people in general only want one thing is kind of outrageous. That's like saying employers only want one thing, when in truth, what an employer wants depends on the job. What a potential mate wants is dependent on what they value.

On a personal note, this alpha male stuff is super outdated. Especially since women make their own money, are independent, and take care of themselves, 'alpha' male is not necessarily something we're looking for. And I've dated some men who could be considered alpha male types and I am so not interested in that kind of man. Doesn't mean I don't look for someone with their own confidence, but I don't need someone to dominate, and that's usually what alpha male refers to.
