Honestly, the idea of an alpha male is hot af. Someone who is confident, ambitious, determined. He's a grey character because he stops at nothing to get what he wants; he's used to bending the rules to his advantage.
I don't like the manhandling that alpha males are associated with. I prefer it when they use their power more intelligently. The shrewdness is what makes it so thrilling. Why do you like to see a tiger or an eagle hunt? Sure you feel bad for the prey, but it's the planning and the sheer power displayed by the hunting animal that gets you awestruck.
But yes, at one point it gets boring. There's too many alpha males in media rn; it feels suffocating 😪 There's a different kind of charm to caring, sensitive males, and right now they feel more refreshing than ever. When life gets tough and you wanna sit down and enjoy a show, these are the type of males who make you feel hope and comfort.
So yeah, this is a girl who will continue to love ASR but whose favourite will always be Neil Khanna from Naamkaran ❤️❤️
I have always loved alpha heroes, but only in TV shows, movies, and books. I know how to differentiate between real and reel. Such arrogant men in real life make me want to slap their brains out.😆
Anyway, I have some theories on why we are obsessed with such heroes
1. The obvious, opposites attract. Even though as I got older I learnt what a lie this was, because we want a soulmate who can share our common interests and understand us, it is quite difficult to create such a bond with someone who has the opposite personality. I only realized this after marriage.😆 But just like every teenager, I also used to believe that opposites attract. Good girls tend to run after bad boys because they are hard to get, and vice versa. It is human nature to run after what we can't have.
2. Relatable. I feel these characters are more relatable because real life is full of such flawed and toxic men😆 Good men are rare and hard to find. And I feel even married women who face problems in their marriage/relationship can relate to the FLs more and understand their pain.
3. Intensity. Alpha males always love more deeply, are more romantic, it's fun to watch them turn from egoistic jerks to romantic heroes and see the passion come out☺️
