It is theorized that some animal species live in their own social structure, which has an alpha male, the most well-known being the alpha wolf. Alpha males usually are the strongest ones in the group, which means they win most of the battles and have more opportunities to mate with available females.
It’s proven that the human species don't have an alpha male. However, that does not stop some men from identifying as one. Even though they are the only ones who think of themselves as “the strongest” as this Reddit thread proves. In fact, people have very interesting opinions about men who claim to be “alpha males.” And let’s just say that these opinions are very different from what “alpha males” think of themselves.

My insides run away and I immediately file away the thought of “oh so if he gets angry enough he’ll hurt me”

One guy had the audacity to say in group therapy that he does not want to be labelled as the „alpha male“. He just told everybody that he thinks he is an „alpha male“, but is „humble“ enough to say he is not. What a d******d.

Omegaverse.
Long story shortish Omegaverse is a sort of fiction genre that originated in the Supernatural fandom but mostly shows up in original Korean fiction now. The idea is that everyone has a secondary gender (alpha, omega, sometimes beta) and basically Alphas are strong and have uncontrollable lust, omegas can get pregnant (even the men!), and almost every Omegaverse fic is about some super hot Alpha getting some obnoxious Omega male pregnant.
So whenever guys are like "Hurrdurr alpha male" I'm just like "GAY KOREAN MPREG FICTION".

Puffer fish. Cute, tiny, poisonous, little fish that puff themselves up when they’re insecure.

I learn from the situation. What did I do to enter in a conversation and reach this point with another human being and how can I avoid it in the future?

Have never seen someone particularly successful refer to themselves with that term.

He has a small d**k, thinks he's Andrew tate and probably is a manifestation of the most fragile masculinity ever.

Smart people don't have to go around telling people they're smart.
Same thing applies. I don't believe anything anyone declares about themselves unprompted.
