espécie de prazer.


Explanation:
"High" em inglês significa algo como sentir uma sensação alucinogena. Então aqui ela sugere que "caçar mulheres para tais homens, traze a eles uma sensação de prazer anormal (assim como o resultado de uso de drogas, "being high" = estar bebâdo ou "chapado").

Vamos então a frase inteira se me permite:

"Just remember that men like him are alpha wolves, OK? For them, chasing women gives them some kind of high.\"

"Apenas lembre-se, que homens como ele são como 'Lobos-alfa', certo? Para eles, caçar/ir atrás de mulheres lhes traz um certo prazer alucinante/anormal/enlouquecedor. "

Espero que eu tenha sido de alguma ajuda, sinta-se livre para usar o último termo conforme desejado.
