Shannon, have you read any David Deida?
He wrote a book called way of the superior man.
It is based in spirituality but is extremely pragmatic as well.
From what I have read on the forums, and what I am experiencing more and more, is that
your version of the healthy Alpha male
is what Deida would call someone who has access to their masculine 'essence'.
Now of course there not exactly the same but the idea of a healthy man being completely free to
follow his own path/purpose, acting on it from his own intentions, loving life independent of being 'needy' etc.
anyway the point is that it would seem a woman who is in touch with her 'feminine essence' is extremely different than a man in touch with his masculine essence, almost polar opposite-in a healthy way.
For example would a completely natural authentic healthy woman behave like a completely natural authentic healthy man? I dont really know, but I highly doubt it. When I have seen woman like this there like radiant bubbly super happy joyous creatures, and its not that there not completely capable of being self sufficient and purpose driven, often more capable than most men lol, but they have evolved beyond thinking that where its at for them in terms of fulfillment. So my suggestion would be to include the strength and self sufficiency but def. include the stuff, not the looks obviously , but the qualities and energy that make a women seem like a natural healthy radiant women. (The qualities that make women glow and make ur day brighter for just being around them, as opposed to a better looking girl who is super independent but hardly draws anyone in [...edited by admin])
So anyway, I'm not a women but there is my 2 cents towards making a program that I might buy my next girlfriend for Christmas

1. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
2. A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions... Success and failure are for him answers above all.
3. I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more then to be than a good dancer.-F.N.
