The term "Alpha Male" often comes up in many threads, particularly here. At first, it seems obvious to me what an alpha male is... but then I realize I can't come up with any real life examples to help me build a solid definition. Additionally, it seems to me that everyone is using the term differently... sometimes it's to describe a jerk of a man, or a meat head, or an aggressive man and sometimes an assertive man, or just a physically attractive man. These all are very different, so I was wondering, how do you define alpha male?
It would also help to define beta male, as I've heard lots of claims about beta males on the forum as well. Again, it seems to carry many different definitions. How do you define beta male?
