No -- but I HAVE noticed that men who call themselves "Alpha" tend to be overbearing assholes looking for an excuse for their actions.

@ChipmunkErnie they call themselves alpha. Do you think that they really are?

@Temporallube According to the scientist who coined the term, his research was mistaken and there really is no such thing. BUT it does fit in well with pop psychology and self-justification.

@ChipmunkErnie @QuixoticSoul Agreed. I think labeling oneself like that, is wishful thinking/ego boosting or to cover some insecurity.
