It is both. It is alpha and dominant, but can also be seen as hypermale. Society likes averages people. Look you don't want some softy 5'2" average body with gorgeous skin and soft brunette hair aspiring artist who can't speak to someone on the phone in public, and you also don't want some chick that has a robust voice, is too competitive and thinks its weird to act feminine. Thats why supermodels like alessandro ambrosia have masculine features that we find attractive; height, strong jaw, good muscle tone; but the classic female features we do too; plump lips, soft thick hair, beautiful skin. I'm with hellouser that it is too hypermale. Go to a super liberal town and you are taken as too competitive, too serious, too alpha and want to be better than the other guy. I'm not like most on here that think society despises bald guys, but I do think it holds these stereotypes mentioned and that is why I take a DHT inhibitor.
And to the OP's original question I do think somewhat for unknown reasons. For me I think it was stress and the fact I wanted to grow up too fast and have a career. Hairloss put that all in perspective and luckily am able to do something about it, and now don't have the extreme pain of feeling like a 55 yr old man in my 20's.
