I would put myself in this category. In the respect, that I'm not really a traditional guy. I'm one of those very metro guys, (reason I'm considering LA) but this is just what I prefer. I'm simply not as confident as a regular dude.
I'll explain the differences. The usual alpha in the midwest is a hard-beer drinking, carhartt wearing, big, tall, white, toughguy attitude type. A lot are also into Affliction or TAP OUT gear. The more professional white-collar guys, are usually much more beta I've noticed, although I generally see them with hotter women.
Myself, I'm stylish to the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo (minus the fact I get most my stuff at Zara and his is from high-end labels). I'm not that tall, only 5'9. Weigh 160, used to bench 210 at the peak of my strength training. In very good shape. 1st degree Tae Kwon Do Blackbelt. Huge boxing fan (but hate trashy MMA). Played div 2 college soccer when I was younger. Although I never played football much, I can throw a consistent long range spiral. Drink of choice would be coors light or a jack on the rocks, and the occasional old-fashioned.
I also pride myself on having an "always alpha, all the time" mentality. Although, I realize in my younger days I used to exaggerate it a bit. A big part of being alpha is being naturally clever, which I've always been good at.
What I'm saying is, society has a narrow view of what is alpha and what isn't. Being a very stylish metro guy in shape, yet only standing 5'9 - I know I'm not seen as a traditional alpha. Yet I consider myself more alpha than most "very alpha" guys.
I have noticed here in the midwest, a "hot" woman above 25 is so rare (especially with no kids), they may have over 100 options at any given time. If you don't sweep one up late into college, the train has left the station. It can be done, but it's an uphill battle.
I seem to only find divorced pill poppers, unstable women, women with multiple men on the side, etc. Honestly, if a woman is hot enough, I'd probably continue to see her, but the ones I'm meeting simply are not good, the pool of hot available women is small, and people generally stick to high school/college friends making finding a new clique difficult.
I don't get along with the regular guys here as well, they typically have some sort of problem with me, off the bat.
I actually think being alpha, when you aren't what society deems as alpha, throws people into this confusion. A reason I'm considering LA, I think there are more "unconventional alphas" opposed to midwest stereotype it's alpha to be devastatingly masculine at all times.
To use a celebrity example, Johnny Depp would be an unconventional alpha in my opinion. Clive Owen would be a conventional alpha.
