I'll make a spoiler of my view, which would be enough for long-timers in here:

The notion that "Alpha" is "a type of guy" is a female one: it's essentialist, and has been popular due to an admittedly overrepresentation of far-right thinking in the red pill. (I'm not criticizing it, just stating it as a fact).

The TRP sidebar has a more fluid definition of Alpha and Beta being sets of behaviours which invoke female reactions, which is another, more accurate way to describe them.

I believe Woujo hit bullseye when he connected the Alpha to the leader of the primal tribe. There's a primitive core in the female attraction system that makes them receptive to such a kind of projection. Sadly, there's a remnant of this in men, too, and we see it when men emotionally submit to leaders.

Now, because we live in extended societies and not primal tribes, there are several contexts that have different nstural leaders. The situational Alpha is the only real-life instantiation of an "Alpha", if we exclude the delusional Alpha.

What an AFC needs is not how to "become" Alpha, but rather an actionable way to achieve a state of positive emotions and non-reactiveness, as well as free up their capacity to lead an interaction. RPS wrote about captive audiences, how you go about making your own bubble in which you can be "Alpha", when you don't have the advantage of a 8 or 9 physique.

"Alpha" is a state where System 2 thinking is not invoked. It's being in flow.

Therefore, any man enters and leaves that state, depending on the circumstances.

That's why entering a relationship while being too alpha, usually beckfires. Either you get burned up, or the woman does, trying to pick up after you when things that demand System 2 thinking get left behind.
