Alpha? Or Rude?

[spinaroonie]

Long story short, I had an argument about with my AFC buddy (whom I've known since high school) regarding his pickup skills after another unsuccessful night out on the town. He still tries to tool me at times (a holdover from my more AFC younger days) but I flat out told him he's not qualified to give me advice. He's 24, 115 lbs, and still a virgin which has made me lose a lot of respect for him. I genuinely want him to do well.

spinaroonie,

I am not upset, in hindsight I find it rather humourous that you blamed your shortcomings on me. For someone who is giving me advice vis-a-vis youtube, you yourself fail to adhere to the advice of others. I realize now that you are undergoing your own personal crisis, whether it be depression, or quater-life anxiety you simply desire a girl-friend and as your friend I understand. My only question is why don't you ever approach anyone, and rely solely on me, esp when I tell you I am not even trying.

I admit that I am a very animate person, but you spinaroonie are arrogant at times, and look downly on others. If I am to work on controlling my animation I suggest you work on your arrogance.

Peace

How did I handle this?

Wait, you're worried about handling things in an 'alpha' way to your MALE friend?


...wow.

 

[Exhumed]

Yeah that's pretty humorous...although you still shouldn't take too much **** from your friends without dishing it out in return lol. So I guess being "alpha" around your friends matters slightly.

I would have been like "Look at this link I found, I think we can use this, etc." rather than saying YOU need to improve your game.

But your friend sounds like a douche. Perhaps it's the lack of contractions used in his grammar.

He even writes like a virgin.

I don't see anything wrong with this. The very definition of alpha man indicates you are a leader of men, not just women. How difficult a task would it be to just dominate women? The true test of alpha is whether or not you can lead other men.

That said, spinaroonie's friend is obviously so sadly beta that it can't really be any challenge. He could have taken a more tactful approach though.

Agree with you on the alpha = leader of men.

Curious - what is it about his writing that betrays the betaness?
