Wow that an alpha! Did you know that wolves only display alpha behavior and hierarchy while they're in captivity? The author who originally wrote about alpha male behavior in the 80s realized this later and has spent the rest of his life trying to walk back his findings because human males in captivity have been trying to emulate his flawed findings. It's very ironic that self proclaimed alpha males are actually just saying that they're imprisoned in some way and are coping with that by trying to desperately find some kind of control in a fake air of "confidence". It's pathetic and sad really. Actual men are empathetic and looking for an equal partner instead of someone they can bludgeon into their way of thinking because they're so insecure.
