A very interesting interpretation on the question "What is an alpha male?" by a man who lives with a pack of wolves.

I was at a party in December and I had to keep grabbing a girl and her friend pretending I had to introduce them to my friends or show them something because they were giving off "save me" body language; some annoying guy was hitting on them and not taking the hint. Apparently the guy (quite big and muscular) finally had enough, and walked right up to me and grabbed me around the neck and tried to start fighting with me.

I was in hindsight intrigued by my response; I had done absolutely nothing, just stood completely still and calm almost curious to see what he was going to try and do. Needless to say, I had about six people immediately jump on him to free me.

This is spot on. There is little difference between being an Alpha and being a leader.

seriously true. All the guys that act all tough and douchey and front all the time...quality girls see right through that.

Key phrase: using others for mutual or personal gain is alpha.

Very cool.

Remember that the Alpha is often not the strongest of the pack, but the one that others have a inclination to defend. Leadership is not a position but rather a disposition.

The alpha member of a group can behave in a variety of ways. The vicious hunter or the savvy scavenger. The tattooed tough guy or the mysterious musician.

I linked it so the video starts at the alpha male part but if you guys have time you should watch the entire thing from the beginning. It's very interesting.

There are no alpha wolves as we traditionally think of in wolf packs. This is what he means. There is always a "leader" or point wolf on hunts and ambushes, but it changes week by week and is very fluid.
