Alpha male and beta male are pseudoscientific terms for men derived from alpha and beta animals in Greek ethology. The term alpha male is often incorrectly used to define any domineering man, especially bullies.
John Danaher talks about what are various alpha males in our society:
“Primates have alpha males that rule a group. Humans don’t have a real Alpha male but have individuals such as political and sociological leaders who have a disproportionate impact on the direction of a community.”
He also stressed the importance of technology and numbers in determining if a community will be successful over another.
GSP added something interesting which is a great analogy for Jiu-Jitsu:
“I’ll beat the Alpha male, the 600 pound gorilla by putting him where he is weak. In a swimming pool where he can’t swim.”
