It's not anyone who posts very frequently. There are participants here with more mongering experience than you or I have in one finger. People who have traveled the country and world and are comfortable in any mongering situation.
They don't review and post as much, because they don't feel the same need as the journeymen to regale others their adventures. Often they show up as comments on reviews, subtly guiding the conversation and correcting misconceptions.
That's what an "Alpha" looks like to me. But like the term "simp", "alpha" is terminology that has become wholly detached from it's original meaning.
@baristafan I don't know how you haven't figured this out yet... but I am incapable of not over-analyzing shit, especially as it relates to the club.
I don't want to name any names for several reasons but the biggest one is the true Alphas know who they are and don't need or want the recognition or attention.
Margaret Thatcher said "being in power is like being a lady; if you have to tell others you are, you're not."
Being an "alpha" is the same.
Anyone who calls themselves an "alpha male" is just a fucking try-hard douchebag tool.
Anyone who thinks too hard about what "letter" they are is almost as much of a tool.
@mickey - LOL! Forgot about him. I'm sure Peggy the 60-year-old dumpy Planet Fitness Receptionist is flicking the bean to him in the ladies' room on break.
Just in case you didn't know, the guy who originally came up with the whole Alpha thing for wolves retracted every bit of it. It was based on observing wolves in captivity, not ones in nature.
So if you think of yourself as an "alpha", you're comparing yourself to a wolf in a cage.

If youre looking at it technically, its Founder. The alpha is just the leader or owner of the organization or business.
If youre talking red pill alpha, you could argue for multiple users
IRL alpha, also multiple users
Regarding wolves, lions, gorillas etc, there can be multiple alphas in the group. Usually the older, father or grandfather is the alpha.
