A person who doesn't handle failure well. Instead of recognizing one's limitations to take an effort to grow oneself, this "alpha" copes with their limitations by adopting a foolish value system that is based on the observations of David L. Mech of wolves (not "African dogs", wolves) in captivity. He has since denounced that his discoveries applies to humans, because humans -- outside of prison -- do not live in captivity. In the wild, this same species of wolves have only the parent/child paradigm rather than this "alpha" crap that insecure men have adopted like it's their DC/Marvel comics super power, when their only "super power" is denial of the truth.
Therefore, an alpha is a person who does not handle failure well.
