How to Identify the Legendary Creature "Alpha Female"

Some more on my research:
Say your at a party or even a dinner party. It might be instinctively obvious to you who the alpha female is, but if not, there are some surefire ways to identify her:
• She'll reach out and touch someone (or everyone), without permission, and without reserve.
• It will seem that her mother never taught her that it's impolite to stare. She's not shy about boring holes through anyone, for any reason.
• Eye contact is one of her power points. She'll never lose an Old Stone face contest.
• Interruption is common. If she's got something to say, she will ensure that it makes its way into the current conversation, no matter how irrelevant.
• She might not be pregnant, but her pauses will be. When she stops in the middle of speaking for dramatic effect, she's creating verbal cliffhangers that will keep her audience hanging on for dear life.
• The alpha female's opinion matters to the group. Whether a joke is told or a new idea is pitched, everyone in the group will usually look to the alpha female for her reaction before they display their own.
• She'll use time to create power. If the group's in a hurry, she'll find an old boyfriend to talk to. If everyone's hungry, she'll go the restroom and hold up the ordering. If there's a fire, she might reapply lipstick while she's waiting for a beta male to come along and lower the fire escape. By forcing those around her to adhere to her schedule, she's demonstrating her power.
• When with other females, the alpha female will generally walk into a room first. This marks her as the leader.
• If she's hungry, she'll eat. If she's thirsty, she'll drink. Unless she's completed finishing school, and passed with flying colors, she will never feel compelled to wait for others to start.
• She'll stand or sit tall. She rarely slouches.
• She won't fidget, dart her eyes, chew her fingernails, breathe shallowly, or jump when someone taps her on the shoulder. Her breathing will come from low in her torso; it will be barely detectable.
• She'll impersonate Barbara Walters often…asking lots of questions of others, but divulging little about herself.
• Like an extra in a breath mint commercial, she'll move in for the close talk. She's not trying to kiss, she's simply taking her slice of space from others, because she deserves it.
The alpha female generally gets lots of attention. That's part of her power…her power of attraction, her power for steering the conversation, and her power for convincing everyone else what she already knows: that she's right.

There was 1 person I had in mind when I researched this topic. But there was 2 people that inspired me to write them. You know who you are.

In my experience, Alpha women are never difficult to identify at a party, or even in a workplace, or anywhere, for that matter. (although it would be easier if they had tails in the air for quicker identification) They are usually not masters of subtrefuge, unlike the Alpha male, who of course.....hunts them for sport.

The attributes of the Alpha Female above are pretty much on the spot and at a party, is likely familiar to everyone. But here is the catch... How does she respond outside the party, outside of her comfort zone? For example, does she display the same characteristics on the streets of Salvador, a small town country bar or any other unfamiliar environment.

Perhaps not, but a true Alpha is vigilant and also prepared to be a vigilante. My point being... I have met a lot of Alpha's that are actually just insecure and it is hard to tell from a single meeting and without experiencing diverse environments. I'm talking about both men and women, but there is a difference there too. Men who are pseudo-Alpha are easier to spot, they are the ones quick to fight.

Just my thoughts. I am not Alpha, but I do pay attention and clearly you do too. I enjoy you blog, thanks.

A true Alpha adapt to any situation she will control any room she or he is in from my perspective. A true Alpha isn't insecure she/he is confident in everything she/he there is wanna be Alpha out there that show those characteristic you mention but a true Alpha doesn't show weakness to anyone. There are Alpha that are quick to fight yes I will give you that but if they are confident enough they will use there heads instead of there fists.
