The term 'Alpha Male' can be defined in both a classical and modern sense. The classical definition derives from the animal kingdom and represents a physical form of dominance over other males. The alpha male lion, for example, claims sexual rights to all females, fights off other male lions to enforce it, eats first after every hunt and dominates a vast territory of land for hunting rights.
In a modern/human sense, younger males (teens, early 20s) will subscribe to the classical form. Like a lion, they will often be the strongest, most intimidating, hit on all of the women beta males want, are usually the first to have new sexual experiences and often dominate a set territory in thier 'hunt' for new women, such as local nightclub scenes.
Older alpha males, however, will evolve the classical traits of stength, intimidation and dominance beyond the physical by gaining power over men through thier very means of living and professional reputation. A powerful business executive, for example, will hire, promote, demote and fire others according to how well they serve his own interests. Rock stars, famous actors and other individuals of 'power' hold very simular capabilities over others in thier respective professions.
Younger alpha males who cannot mature into the modern form will usually cling to the classical form of alpha-maleness for as long as possible.

Mike Tyson was the alpha-male of boxing until Evander Holyfield defeated him, while Bill Gates is currently the alpha male of the software industry.

The alpha male is an act that is performed by males usually in their teens and twenties who act tough, are loud, and have to be the center of attention or they feel insecure. When a man is successful and in his thirties he no longer acts this way because he has grown up and realized that the entire alpha male act is phony. When was the last time you saw a rich, successful man try to pick a fight??? Never. The only guys that do this are the losers that go to bars to take their anger out because they are angry inside for going nowhere in life.
35yr old alpha male at the bar,"I'm bald, fat, I make 7 dollars an hour and I work a job I hate...what are you looking at? Do you want to fight? I need to kick someones ass today because my boss ripped me an new asshole for burning the fries at McDonalds and I need to take it out on someone."

An alpha male writes definitions of "beta male" on urban dictionary. They always feel the need to talk about how alpha they are. They guzzle cum to get extra testosterone. Closet homosexuals. We all accept you for yourself, "alpha male". No need to hide anymore. You can come out of the closet.

"Straight" guy that is frustrated about his secret love for men, so he shields his homosexuality by hating on women. He's not over five foot and goes to the gym every day to feel more empowered. Probably has mommy issues, which leads to his really big hatred for women, and "women belong in the kitchen" mindset. He loves hating on "betas" for respecting women, but he only does it because he really wants to be a top.
Person 1: Dude, this whole feminism thing is ruining women.
Person 2: What? So you're an alpha male or something?
Person 1: I guess you could call me that.
Person 2: You're gay, Brian.

A tool that will do anything to be the center of attention and be the dominant male. A phony act insecure people put on.
