Hello! Welcome to this new website and to the

Alphamale Living Project!

So, what is Alphamaleliving.com? The inspiration for this project is based upon my personal recovery from some of life’s most negative ass kickings and pitfalls. This Alphamale Living Project is being constructed to help men like me recover and regain purpose after surviving life altering events. Alphamaleliving.com is a channel to pass on the skills and life lessons that I’ve developed and successfully used to cope with and get through tough times. This is a place for men with our Alphamale personality to find refuge and find ways to heal.

I’ve come to realize that there are several different types of personalities. My personality type is what I call the Alphamale. In my opinion, and in my classification of this personality type, the Alphamale possesses several strong and desirable characteristics. The Alphamale may be adaptable, intelligent, brave, loyal, kind, funny, ethical, realistic, empathetic, thorough, wise, honest, disciplined, trustworthy and faithful. We believe in the rule of law and we believe that our Individual Rights come from our Creator, not from a government or a king. We believe that all men are created equally, but the outcome of their lives is based upon their free will as individuals. The Alphamale may have some vulnerabilities. He may occasionally be anxious, argumentative, stubborn, idealistic, rigid, untrusting and cynical.

The main driving force of the Alphamale is his desire to lead and protect his pack. The Alphamale‘s most basic pack is his family unit, but his pack could also be a specialized team, a business or any type of group that depends upon his leadership and his guidance. The human Alphamale is similar to the pack leaders found in the wild. The quality of life, success and even the survival of the pack is the responsibility of their Alphamale. Often, it is a brutal and ominous burden. The Alphamale is NOT a Lone Wolf. The Lone Wolf is a predator and one of many threats that the Alphamale must protect his pack from.

The Alphamale personality is similar to the personality of the Sheepdog. The main difference is that the Sheepdog generally protects a large herd of unaware followers. The Alphamale’s pack dynamic is much more intimate. Many Alphamales have backgrounds in the military, law enforcement, first responders and in the skilled trades.

My life journey has taken me down many roads. Some roads were full of beauty and bright colors and some roads were very dark and treacherous. Many times I was blindsided by fate, and thankfully more often than not, I was spared catastrophe by just close calls.

I know that others have faced, and will face, much worse situations than me. Some Alphamales will find my hardships to seem like walks through a park in comparison to their true calamity. I get that. I’m not the most brutalized or jaded man in the room, but I believe that I have been blessed with a skill set to help others. This project will allow me to share my knowledge and the knowledge of other Alphamale personality types through articles, interviews, discussions and examples of our success. I hope that this project will be around for many years. I want to help our kind recover from their negative circumstances and learn new skills to survive the inevitable challenges of life.

Lastly, let me introduce myself. My name is Rick. I’m a Christian, husband, father, son, brother, friend, American, former police officer, lifelong learner, college professor, teacher, coach, realist, optimist, pragmatist, fighter, gardener, horse rider, dog trainer, SCUBA diver, traveler, vehicle driver, guitar & bass player, laborer and now blogger and podcaster. I was born way back in the 1970’s. I currently reside in Northern Illinois, USA.

In conclusion, I have a mission and a drive to help people. I feel a divinely inspired obligation to pass the lessons that I’ve learned onto a wider audience. I KNOW that, right now, there are Alphamales struggling with life challenges that are detrimental to them mentally and physically. I want them to know that life is worth living and there are ways to navigate through some common difficult issues. I have experienced feelings of isolation, loss, abandonment and worthlessness. These states of mind are super heavy in the moment, but they are temporary. There is never a reason or time to give up. The Alphamale forges through these circumstances and comes away stronger as a man, as a pack leader and as a person. Now you know what alphamaleliving.com is. If you feel like this is a place for you, let me welcome you to our community of Alphamales.
