The world of online dating represents a bonanza of opportunity for the average person seeking romance. I use the term average deliberately, because for the first time, the internet has provided a means of equalization in the world of romance.

Before the internet came along, the average guy had to go out to places in order to pickup women. This meant money always had to be spent with no guarantee of anything, except your having to pick up the tab at the end of the evening.

I remember in my early days, B.I., ( Before Internet) where I would take a woman out to dinner, only to watch her order the more expensive items, running up the tab, only to get a hug, maybe at the end of the evening, going home alone with my receipt.

Now with the Internet, there is a hunting field like never before witnessed. Dating site after dating site has sprang up allowing you to choose, with the click of a mouse, your particular taste of woman. Athletic girls ? No problem. Recently divorced? A pot full of them. Free Spirits? Knock yourself out.

The problem however is that even though you no longer have to get dressed up in your Friday night's finest to catch, men are still making the mistake of bringing their old perceptions of how to relate to a woman into this new online environment. Meaning, in the new bottle, they are still pouring old wine. It will not work.

The secrets of the Alpha Male are many, but one of them is that he behaves in a way that no matter what the environment, i.e. at the club, in the bar, or even online, his Alpha Male character is conveyed, causing immediate recognition. And as they have for eons, women unconsciously respond. Thus continues the species. And whatever you do, get it out of your thick head that being an Alpha Male hss anything to do with looks. I know guys that rank as 4's, consistently dating 7's, 8's and even the occasional 9. Why? Because they do what all Alpha Males do, whether they know it or not.

What are the characteristics of the Alpha Male? Just what is his pattern of approach, response and methodology that can have his voicemail full of women, even though he is an average Joe, 15 lbs overweight and drives a 5 year old Toyota that needs brakes? It's not money or looks, nay; it is his Alpha Male behavior.

Chief among all characteristics of Alpha Males is that he is divorced from caring about the outcome. His words and actions say that he simply doesn't care if he gets rejected. And therefore he is free. And because he is free, he does not convey even a trace of desperation, which a woman can smell a mile away.

And, the flip side? By not caring about the outcome, you now display confidence and self valuation. And when you show that you value yourself, ah my friend, she now will respond by valuing you, and the fun begins.
