Let's remember that the alpha male here in the United States is the president.
Alpha males aren't necessarily bad. Only in specific social circles can they be.
I know a guy whose first instinct when around women is apparently to try to be the alpha male. He usually ends up looking like a complete prune... it's pretty embarrassing, really.
As for why women want a bad boy... my take on it has always been that they want the excitement that that kinda guy brings, as opposed to the safety and security that a nice guy would give her. It may also be an unconscious biological thing - an aggressive, powerful guy is more likely to be able to defend her than a meek, submissive type.
