Was talking to someone who did pick up about alpha behavior. I said that if you are unaffected by another dude and made fun of him then he would look bad. If he can't return your jeer at him or sounds like an idiot when he trys to come up with something witty, then i would have won the battle. Am i correct?

In theory, yes you would have won that "battle" but the person who is alpha is the person with the strongest frame. Sometimes looking at the person with a look of disapproval and not even responding makes you look alpha because you above his childish games.

Not necessarily. It's one good way to look at it I guess. But some guys try to talk crap to me and if it I don't like it alot of the time I will just ignore and turn my back on them and it makes them shut up usually and them look like idiots.

It's kind of like saying to them "you are a social retard why would you say something like that".

But be careful, don't do this on a guy who is actually aggressive and wants to fight, you don't want to be sucker punched.

Or sometimes somebody will say something to me that I actually find quite funny and I can't help but give it to them that it was pretty good. And it doesn't seem to effect my standing.

It's hard to take anything and say "always do this" because sometimes it doesn't apply. Just don't become the idiot who goes around giving everyone crap for no reason to make yourself feel good, it has the opposite effect except to maybe young, impressionable people.

The problem is you could take the same things I do and try to use them as a 'technique' and not have it work if your beliefs and confidence are not there.

in my opinion, alpha males don't have the need to establish dominance over another guy. the only time you disrespect somebody is when he disrespects you first, then you stand up for yourself like a man. you don't just go trolling on people just so you can feel like you have bigger penis, that's insecure and beta. honestly if someone disrespects me, i would be ready to fight, although i be scared sh!tless in my head haha. so don't go around disrespecting people for no reason.
