"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

[PIC]An alpha male greeting a chick

"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.

Yes I know he's a rockstar, I know the girls he's been with, I'm a fan. Don't take it so personally.
 

"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.

the same guys who say:

"alpha males have money" did tyler durden have money?
"alpha males are light hearted and funny" is james bond light hearted and funny?
"alpha males have integrity and strong morals" charles manson?
"alpha males are in shape, active, healthy" bill gates? steve jobs?clinton?

this can go on forever

alpha isnt so much a set behaviors or characteristics. its a mindset above anything.
Nah, alpha isn't a mindset, it's a position. As you note with the above questions, not all alphas will fit neatly into a "one size fits all" package".
In many cases, the mindset will result in achieving an alpha position.

Although it can work it reverse as well. If you get the position (by falling into it, or having it handed to you, being born into it, having skills that get you famous, whatever), the position can lead to the mindset. The alpha mindset that PUAs talk about is largely an abundance mindset - that's why they tell you to spin plates. Because experiencing abundance will put you in the mindset.

this is a perfect example of the pigeonholed subjective definition most guys have of "alpha"

he looks like a freak, therefore he cannot posibly be alpha lolol

alpha isnt so much a set behaviors or characteristics. its a mindset above anything. a mindset that results in power. power that equates to mastery and control over ones own life. its not something tangible. having money doesnt make you alpha. being ripped doesnt make you alpha. having a silver tongue doesnt make you alpha. the mentality that manifests those things makes you alpha. even so, thats merely one facet of alpha. just because you have power over other men doesnt automatically grant you mastery over everything else including women.
What is your definition of alpha?
Bill Gates?
Steve Jobs?
Clinton? That bytch don't even swallowed and he was the president.
James Bond,Tyler Durden? Are you fvcking kidding me? Those are fiction dummy.


How about Genghis Khan? Or Alexander? Patton? Grant? Bolivar? Caesar(not the chimp)?Roosevelt?

The expression "AN Alpha" is a misnomer. That implies two Alphas might show up.

There can be THE Alpha and we can try to be MORE Alpha, but since Alpha is a relative term, saying "an Alpha" is like saying "a Better".

Alpha means the best guy in a given group.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

as far as my barometer for judging alpha within the context of this forum is success with women.
This brings up a thought. Somewhere out there, I'm sure there is some alpha male who struggles with women. Maybe he is the dominant male, but maybe his social skills are crap and maybe he is one ugly fvcker. I'm sure they must be out there.

Yeah, the best guys in a group who are not THE alpha are the upper level betas. And it is not a bad thing to be an upper level beta. You get many of the rewards of the alpha, without as many of the risks.

Sorry, there are no second place trophies here.

Alpha is absolutely defined. It refers to the leader of the pack. It was once believed that the lead wolf dominated. Whether that is true, the term remains. It means the best man in a given group.

Is everyone here so desperate to declare themselves Alpha that now we are welcoming a multi-Alpha environment? That's like saying there are many MVP's. Not every usher is the Best Man.
