Seems to be widespread across Asia. to show high status, men must:

1) Not speak, but shout. Preferably in an interrogative, aggressive manner with a voice rasping after decades of a 20-a-day cigarette habit.
2) Command and order women around as if they were misbehaving poodles. women are your property after all. A master-servant relationship is the only one appropriate.
3) Look serious at least 99% of the time. The world depends on your important decisions.
4) Shout when answering the phone. it makes you sound busy, in the thick of the action. Even if you are half asleep on the subway, barking down the reciever in an irritated way creates exactly the right impression.
5) Belching is a sign of virility and should be conducted at volume. So is sucking ones teeth etc. Taking liberties generally is good. in fact showing zero consideration to those around you can only elevate ones status.
6) Work. Doing as little as possible, while looking as important as possible is key. If you have a managerial role, make sure its never hands on. Keep a clear distance from the workplace and send your ill-informed edicts through messengers.

Ha ha, I know exactly the kind of annoying men you're talking about.

I notice these guys tend to be the heavy cigarette smoking and soju drinking type who are dead serious about nationalist pride and being important, but who are just full of hot air. Ignore them, because they are often asking for a conflict since they are aggressive and unhappy with themselves. These Alpha males you mention are simply guys with an inferiority complex trying to be competent through displaying aggression which occurs everywhere on Earth. You can tell by their hardened rough red blushed, often wet shiny looking faces who they are before you meet them. I get the sense often that they are tripping out over my presence since they feel inferior when someone very different is in their presence that they don't understand.

In school, I can tell which young boys are the aggressive alpha males or ones resisting insecurities over being the man they are or becoming to be as they often shout in your face, easily get exited, easily get offended, easily over react, spazz out, and say rude things despite your just right there 3 feet away and reasonably listening to them.
