I am just curious I have heard this expression before. Like on Survivor They say I'm voting him out because he was an alphamale. What is one?

An alpha male is usually the most dominant animal in a group. The term is usually reserved for animals and not really applicable to people, though I suppose in the setting of Survivor it might be.

In a pack of animals, like wolves for example, there is often both an alpha male and an alpha female. The alpha male will often mate with the alpha female, and he will also often get to mate with other females since he can dominate the other male wolves in the pack.

Yeah, Bootsy (as always

) is right. The alpha male is the most dominant male in the group.
If I were to be in a 'Survivor' or 'Big Brother' type situation I would undoubtably be omega female!
