You can still be a strong man today and succeed(women, money, lifestyle)
you just have to be smarter about it and be more agile.

Apollo, these are great points. I would then go to say that having a high social IQ is paramount to everything here. The ability to recognise the social environment one is in and adapt enough to recognise the cultural/social values present and manipulate them in order to become leader of that particular pack.
