Back to the alpha male thing. This must be what we call the A-type personality on this side of the pond. A-type is someone who likes to run things, dominate, expound, pontificate, take charge and so on. Found among non-com officers, Catholic priests and university professors, as well as Nancy Blackett. A great example is Jeremy Clarkson, of Top Gear. Notice, however, that the term doesn't apply just to males. Some of the most domineering A-types I have known have been female. Confidence to the point of arrogance is the determining factor. They just have to run things their way. Is this what you mean by "alpha male"?
