"The Secret Formula to Attract Girls"

The article "Dating Expert Details Ways Guys Can Attract Girls" by Carlos Xuma, details ways that men can attract women. At first glance, one would think the article would run down a list of shallow and materialistic necessities, but it actually provided some interesting advice for the male specie. In order for a man to attract the opposite sex, the "dating guru" reports that he does not have to possess six figure salaries, drive a nice Porshe, or look like Brad Pitt (Alpha male physical qualities), but rather have qualities like confidence and the ability to provide (Alpha male traits). Women, are biologically programmed to be attracted to guys who "make them feel safe, secure, and able to provide for them," Xuma says. The secret formula to attract girls is to worry less about outward appearances, and instead worry about developing alpha male traits and characteristics. 

This article relates to "Brave New World" chapter four part two because it details the secret for men, who may not have the alpha male looks, to attract women. This relates to the section of the chapter because although Bernard is an Alpha male, he does not LOOK like the typical alpha male, which is in turn making him develop some sort of Napoleon complex where he has to scream, shout, and demand things in order to feel bigger than what he really is. Bernard's small stature has even began to effect his ability to attract women. If Bernard were to read the aforementioned article, he would be able to see that it's not about his looks, but rather his inner qualities that will make the ladies come running. 

Question to the Group: 

Do you think that if Bernard were to work on having the inner qualities of an Alpha male, as stated in the article, that he would be able to get more women?
