Can two alphas in a relationship make things work?

Yet even with all this going for them, Alpha males typically do not marry Alpha females.

Here are 3 reasons why Alpha male and Alpha female relationships can be tough.

1. Alphas want to lead.

The biggest challenge Alpha/Alpha relationships face is deciding who is going to lead. For an Alpha guy, there can be only one answer to this question — and the answer is him.

2. He loves you, but he will never love you more than he loves himself.

Other men may put you on a lofty pedestal high above themselves. Alpha men will love you, but never more than they love themselves.

There will be no games played.

3. It's nature's way.

In nature, when two Alphas meet they fight for dominance. In a relationship between an Alpha man and an Alpha woman, the most common fighting ground is mental.

Alphas of all genders are extremely intelligent, which means that Alpha guys have the same exact problem you do. They know what they want and they are willing to do anything to get it.
