ALPHA
On February 21, 2012 by Shark
The question had recently chanced upon me; how do we define the
“Alpha Male?” It has never come up before, but I can’t say I’m surprised. The concept is taken for granted and given a certain degree of flexibility. We hear the term “Alpha Male” and we mechanically imagine a prototype figure with very specific characteristics depending on our unique perception of masculinity. But if you REALLY try and DEFINE what it means to be Alpha, in a universal sense, the complications quickly become evident as you realize the obvious exceptions in every representation.
“He has money” ⇒ Tyler Durden is poor
“He’s hilarious and easy going” ⇒ James Bond is not
“He’s extremely masculine” ⇒ Was Rudolph Valentino?
“He always has a positive impact on the world around him” ⇒Fascist dictators?
“He’s Loyal” ⇒ Bill Clinton?
The above was a quick demonstration, but you could imagine the problems inherent in each paragon. The most commonly accepted barometer at this point, and possibly the one closest to perfection (until now), is a scale that uses a man’s ability to procure p*ssy as a means to measure his degree of Alphaness. In some ways this makes sense. A man’s primary objective is to reproduce, and a women’s primary objective is to find an Alpha Male she can both reproduce and utilize. BUT…
(a) Were not SEVERAL of the greatest luminaries in the world virgins?
(b) The primary goal of game (as expressed in this blog) is to defer women to only compliments to one’s life, this perception shifts them back unto the center
(c) This standard only assumes dominance over women, NOT dominance over men. An Alpha can be purely dominant over men but oblivious to game for other reasons.
(d) The comparisons between men become extremely hazy. Bill Clinton slept with less women than many of the other Alphas you can think of, but 1 on 1 it would be no contest.
So after a few minutes of thinking of the various ways people define Alphas, and even the traits they assume to be FUDAMENTALLY Alpha, which, in reality, are far more ductile than they think; I’ve come up with a solution.
Power.
I like it for the very reason that it’s vague, and overly obvious in some ways. It is all encompassing and allows us to use the term Alpha more liberally. Each Alpha, regardless of their exceptional qualities, has one thing in common. Power. Even that socially awkward philosopher is powerful, in the realm of knowledge. And that lazy fat Alpha who sits at home, drinks beer, and yells at his wife has power; via indifference (or in this case, the LACK of the power the world asserts over him).
Note also that depending on who’s idea of “Alpha” you’re taking on, everything changes. Over here I emphasize qualities like ambition and standards like a good physique, but these are NOT dominantly “Alpha Traits.” They are MORE COMMON in Alphas, the same way feminism is more common in fat women or inflated egos in American women, but just to be clear, they are not fundamental. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have them, only trying to avoid that same totalizing approach I aptly criticize elsewhere.
Think Alpha. Become Alpha.
. then she like well he said we should just take a break but he doesn't want me fukking on that break.
. She hits me back tells me its over with him I'm like meh w/e. holla at me if you want. She hits me back and says she has problems (ya don't say) and shouldn't be dating for awhile. Okay thats fine. She a cool chick and she shaped like pinky so I was cool with smashing in the interim but once a nikka I never met started infringing on my personal space wtf. It was a interesting experience and showed me I really have reached a stage of immense indifference with women to the point I don't even care if its exclusive or not but I'm not doing this shyt again
. Told her once you get your life right hit me up and if we both still single we'll see what it do. But just you, none of this fu fu poly shyt. Had to ask her like did you ever stop and wonder that a lot of your issues stem from the fact you are poly?
