I believe that some authors, myself included, are moving from the fairy tale, but still wonderful Alpha male, to Beta in an effort to 'keep it real'. Maybe that is a reflection of society as we finally, and thank God for that, realize that 'perfection' is beauty,and owns flaws and that beauty truly comes from the inside. Physical perfection is too simple and can be boring. We feel for, understand better and know the Beta male. In my humble opinion.
