This. I consider myself an alpha female, but I've been with both a beta male and an alpha male... neither worked out. Beta males are worse, though. I can't stand when a dude is a complete and total bitch, because I usually end up feeling like his mother. On the other hand, the power struggle that comes with dating an alpha male is unbearable. In my experience, alpha males try to break me down. I can't win.

I don't so much want to control anyone else. I just want to be in control of myself. I can't take a dude who tries to, like Heather said, break me down and try to have one up on me.
