Eb,
If they don't exist for Alex...ok.
If I want to refer to someone as an alpha, to me that person is an alpha.
Alex doesn't get to dictate that distinction.
Here's what I mean.
True story.
Someone I have worked with for many, many years sent me a text recently.
I am retiring and they told me I am a "great man".
It would be sort of wierd to say that to myself.
To that person I am great. Nice compliment. I don't get many.
Eb,
My definition of an alpha might not include crapping on people.
I can think of other labels for that person.
I believe alpha types definately do exist.
They're not always male.
