@KeithDJohnson It's also ignorant. The term comes from a since-debunked notion about the social hierarchy of wolves. Debunked long enough ago that there's not much excuse for not knowing that by now. I mean, if you're going to call you're something, you should at least take a minute to look it up.
So guys who call themselves 'alpha males' are basically saying, "I'm either ignorant or lazy, take your pick."
