If you’re really asking what it means, an Alpha is a strong leader. They don’t take commands, they give them. If they want something, they take it. They consider themselves superior to the weaker beta males, and feel that it is their duty to lead the betas, or that they are doing them a favor by pushing them to be more like an alpha.
Although, a lot of the time, the people who claim to be alphas have none of the redeeming characteristics, so they just act like entitled assholes.
Correction - when you say “an alpha is a strong leader,” you mean, “some people think an ‘alpha male’ is a strong leader, but that’s not based in reality.”
If you’re really asking what it means, an Alpha is a
pseudo scientific myth that has been twisted and then adopted almost exclusively by toxic men to try and boost their own ego and justify their shit behaviour
