Do you guys still believe in the "Alpha" nonsense?

"Alpha" and "beta" are easy ways to describe different men's relationships with women, and how they respond when their boundaries are violated. Anyway, having money makes personal development easier, you don't want to socialize with people who drag you down, "being in the gym" is hard work and pays off in more ways than making you look handsome, and I don't know much about partying but I won't knock it till I try it.

 

Yes I do still believe in "this alpha nonsense".

 

Thank you @Pureheart

 

You used a cargo cult definition of "alpha"

 

An animal in bed is not the same as a pet in bed. Ideally you got both.

 

Out of interest, what is your definition of "Alpha" @Pureheart ?

 

If I may, I would like to offer an alternate version of the definition of an "alpha" individual, which is shown in this blog article:

If that's your version of reality, surely since the "ideal" and "reality" are so different, it would be unfair to keep defining the word "alpha" as used in the "real" context.

My interpretation of an "alpha" individual would be that there is no difference between an "alpha" and a "real" individual. (ie Alpha does not equal arsehole)

 

Unfortunately, it's not whether you're for alpha or against it (your definition is rather subjective, anyway). It's how to be alpha in a way that doesn't compromise your true personality. I believe it's perfectly fine to have a sense of arrogance or cockiness. You think Bill Gates or Warren Buffett didn't remind themselves every day that they were the greatest, hardest working men in their industries? They ate, slept and shit the alpha mentality. But it's finding that perfect equilibrium so that you still maintain the initial fiber of who you are.

I am NOT an alpha. I can honestly say that I defer to others both professionally and in my personal life. But I'm always fighting to be number one. And the thing about being the best is you can never get comfortable. Someone is always looking to take your spot and you have to put them in their place, so to speak.

 

That's cool. I do not consider myself to be "alpha" either, but I think it is something quantised that people can aspire to in order to improve themselves and just generally be better human beings.

 

I'm so Alpha that I'm above this convo.

YOLO

I strive to be alpha while still being kind at heart.
Your defiition of alpha is very subjective.

 

They're easy descriptors that people can understand without having to put too much thought into it. They can be superficially useful, sometimes. But I think that 99% of the men who fantasize about becoming "Alpha" have no clue about how to actually win people's respect--women's respect in particular. And their attempts to act "Alpha" are recognized for phony posturing, and held in understandable contempt. This is where sites like PUAhate come from.

I think it's understandable for sexually frustrated adolescents. Hell, I had a trace of it when I was 17-18, but I grew out of it. When a guy in his mid 20s (or older) believes this, though... I wouldn't say there's no hope for such men, but it's a pretty sad situation.

Tl;Dr: A leader is someone who simply excels, and earns admiration because he deserves it. The stuff being sold as Red Pill "truths"/PUA game/whatever it's called now wins no admirers, because it appeals to men who fundamentally despise themselves. Don't be one of those men.

 

Youre alpha if you like to paint and are working to paint better
you're alpha if you want a good body and hit the gym everyday
you're alpha if you want to have a good GPA and work for it
everyone on nofap is alpha cause we're ahead of all those who still love porn


Alpha Is the man who has his shit together. Its not the loud rude arrogant man yelling orders. All those men are actually beta possible omega
