"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Trump... Epitome of alpha.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Trump is one of the most alpha men I know.

He knows who he is, and isn't afraid to be himself. That for me is the most defining trait of an alpha.
I was re-reading Pook last night and he defined "Alpha" as just being yourself and confidence nothing more than being comfortable in your own skin,Trump is certainly that.I always thought that was Pook's best teaching next to "eliminating desire."

Not only being yourself, but loving yourself. Knowing your worth.

If you think Trump is alpha, I have a bridge of bull**** to sell ya.
Oh look another liberal that hates Trump no matter what. Shocker.

I'm guessing you also think Obama WAS an alpha, and knowing you, for one reason only. Another shocker.

What you purposely ignore is that his wife only stays with him because of his status. He's not naturally alpha among men, only among the betas in the democratic base. Trump is actually respected around the world, while Obama was laughed at.

They are shell-shocked. He is destroying global institutions... he is the equivalent of the Mongols, or the Vandals. It's like when Machiavelli's 'The Prince' was published - the whole European order was stunned into silence. It was a paradigm shift. Some may interpret it as progress, others as regress. I think it's regression, and you'll see America slide back into another depression/ crisis.

The thing is, with Nukes in the world, nationalism is not an option. Global institutions have to evolve, otherwise it is war.

It's really all about pride and arrogance [insecurity], and the worst kind of patriotism... and the fact that America can not age gracefully. Economic competition becomes a 'national security' issue... and the American administration become war-mongers. God help us.

Nope, you won't find any U.S. politicians that are alpha. The nature of the job is pandering and deception.

Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin are laughing hysterically at this.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Who is "following" Trump? There are many more liberal sheep in this country, than Trump sheep. Most of the people who support Trump were working, instead of out "following" someone. Those people, like myself, are not sheep.

The liberal frame is a feminine frame.

One essential feature of the masculine frame is a desire for rational unity. A 'meta-frame', that states that politics is irredeemably polarized [between liberals and conservatives], falls short of this ideal.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Trump lacks tact, he lacks maturity, he's a bull in a china store...hardly the Eiptome of Alpha male.
This is an example of how people have tried to make "alpha males" into perfect human beings, which they are not. At least early members of the community recognized this, moreso than they do now. They realized that many alpha males were actually @ssholes, jerks, and sociopaths. They don't have to be, but they may well might be. Alpha males are just people, who have risen to a certain position either by luck, or through their own skills.

Alpha males do not have to be people that you would like. They do not have to be mature. They do not have to possess admirable traits. They do not all possess identical traits. They do not have to be good people. And you certainly don't have to agree with their politics.

I don't know or care if Donald Trump is an alpha male or not, because I think the obsession the Manosphere has with "alphas" is ridiculous. My guess would be that he is, however, considering he's rich, and he's the president.

Let me explain...laugh if you want but when I'm faced with a decision in the dating world I often ask myself 'how would the charming Bond address this' and it works for me. I guess I could use a real person but I don't know any personally with that tact and charm with women. So when you used the word Epitome it's what I was thinking - a calm, collected, confident, tactful guy and someone that has the looks to pull it all off too. And that is definitely not Trump.


Not true at all! A lot of people can get chit done...most dictators do/did...do you consider them as Alphas? To me an Alpha quality is more about 'carrying a big stick but speaking softly' or...speaking less and doing more or having the charm where people just believe in you.


I guess that depends on who you consider an Alpha as I said above. An Alpha in a pack of wolves builds and grooms his pack to work together as a team, and he's well respected. He doesn't divide them up. Our country is more divided than ever, racism is at its peak in the last 15+yrs. I can go on and on about the economy...the whole tariffs thing which is putting the iconic American companies like Harley Davidson out of business and we have yet to see how any of this has helped our bottom line. Alphas also don't have hours on end to be posting tweets all day long. That right there is a childish/beta attention seeking behavior.


At 43, you are far too old for such nonsense.

^ That. I enjoy discussions and I don't mind being corrected if I'm wrong but I find it frustrating when one can't even have an intelligent discussion without it becoming personal. Even if we don't see things the same way - it's ok because if we thought and functioned the same exact way we would be robots not people.
If u were born inherently dominant, u would understand the term "alpha".

U can learn to be dominant, show u r dominant, walk like one, talk like one but ur true colors will be on display for all to witness when tested by a naturally dominant male.

And I now know you.

I'm not in the mood to get into the whole alpha debate about Trump but I can tell you this much first hand. My daughter and I went to a Trump rally in 2016. We were within 6 x feet of him. The man has a presence like no other. A commanding, dominant, and positive presence like I have seen from no other human being. The positive energy in the room was off the charts. People were mesmerized; men, women, and children. Call it alpha. Call it whatever. But I was there and there was definitely more to it than just a guy talking to a crowd.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
