First off, being alpha is not a permanent thing. It's a temporary thing. It has its up and down cycle. Testosterone levels go up and down. It isn't always high. People fail. People succeed. When men succeed, they manifest a lot of alpha traits like extreme confidence and an unshakeable frame.
One thing is for sure though. Most alpha males went through the fire. They got burned, recovered and somehow managed to become alpha by going through extreme pain. If a person is too trusting, he gets burned every now and then. If he doesn't trust anyone, he can't have people on his team who will gladly die for him come hell or high water.
It's a matter of calibration and testing. Your alpha friend builds trust slowly until the girl proves herself to be trustworthy a lot of times. A girl who tries to earn your trust and qualifies herself to you on the regular is better than a girl who does not need to do a thing to earn your attention or get your trust.
When a girl works hard to win you over, she becomes more trustworthy versus a girl who does not make any effort at all.
