I was thinking about why the term 'alpha male' would be negative to some and my thoughts went to dogs because the term 'alpha' usually applies to a male animal. Blackfoot was the first person I ever 'met' that applied the term to a human male. I always thought than an alpha male dog is usually an uncompromising @ss and so that's where the negative connotation comes in for me.
