A Bit More on Adult Bullying

This article details several ways to tell if a man's behavior is alpha-male behavior or bully behavior. Not going to outline them here, but give highlights instead. Also note, the article takes a few liberties and sometimes portrays effective leader characteristics instead of true alpha-male characteristics, but that only because of the scope of the true concept of the alpha-male.

How they are similar:

"
[Alpha-males] - They see a situation, make an assessment that is logical and will usually work, based on prior experience -- although this process is often lightning fast -- and act.

[Bully] - also assertive, decisive, direct, not afraid to express himself, and often gets things done on his own terms.
"

Differentiating by traits

"
Bullies are grandstanders. They love to have people see them vanquish the person they are attacking.
vs.
A true Alpha Male is strong, smart and a pack builder. He leads, provides for and protects his pack. And he has fun doing it.
"

Very fascinating read.
