quasi introspective rant. much better than hw.

[Guest]

i am pshylogically predisposed to pickup. genuinly. i think i inherited it based on my rearing. im 22 now and do my own thing, but when i was in my younger teenish years i did not have a pleasant relationship with my dad. thats not to say that i did not have everything i ever needed nor a lack of love etc...this is not an emo thread nor the desire for self pity. now that i am fully independent, we get along great. now that ive clarified that i will just cut to the chase. my dad is an "alpha" male. i am an "alpha" male. two "alpha" males in the same house did not work for us. (my mommy told me this) our relationship has improved out of more mutual respect, but i am begenning to believe that our conflicts were strictly based on similar personalitys. there has been a quasi recent thread with a similar message but from another angle; and i am partial to imput provoking threads as opposed to monolouges. would a project dallas work? is my own interpersonal discovery relavent to the constant war / cock measuring threads? ive discovered that alpha is great, it is me, but constantly attempting to show the world your the king shit results in tensions, fights, and perhaps also unhappiness when you review your week. it is for this reason that i wonder if it is even ethicaly propper to attempt to become a true "alpha male". improving ones life is the goal and we know what works for the ladies. the cliche fake it till you make it works in everyday life but is it not difficult to fake something that you truly are far from? i think that by over-focusing on alpha one can easily miss the point, draw others away and in turn lose themselves along the way. factions form from familiar faces with like minded fhilosiphies. thats why we are here, and resultantly there is an amount of respect / understanding present here that by definition is contratory to full on alpha by definition. i understand there are members of this forum who unlike me know everyone face to face but it does not seem as if many are truly more alp than others with the exception of the learning curve between those who started yesterday vs years ago.

this did turn into a rant; as i am procrastinating homework for online govt. but there it is from the desk of UTOP / MAG

I would suspect most on this forum are not "natural" born alpha's.

alpha isn't about knowledge and where you are at on the learning curve. No degree of alphaness can be judged via a forum either.

by trying to be alpha, you aren't alpha. To me there is almost a calm around a true alpha, and a intangible deference to that individual without the alpha needing to proactively claim that.

Hi Sir,

I think you need to learn what being alpha is. I must say from reading your post I wouldn't consider you alpha. I know that sounds harsh and I am not trying to come off as a dick.

See to me a true alpha respects everyone around them. They don't have to do macho shit to prove their "alphaness". Their distinction is already known by those around them by the way they act. Even in a sense that they are just standing there doing nothing they can be alpha.

You and your dad butting heads when you were a kid? That to me is lacking respect for your elder and more importantly your father. That makes you beta. And even if you don't want to call that beta it certainly isn't alpha tendencies. Being a dick is not alpha.

Anyways that is enough food for thought on this subject. I am sure I could go on and on about how I feel.

Goodluck

If you want alpha, look at Obama. Look at Richard Branson, or George Clooney, Bill Clinton, Putin, Tom Cruise.

Could you even imagine Obama "constantly attempting to show the world he's the king?" No, but he's probably one of the biggest alpha males on the planet right now. Being alpha doesn't necessarily mean butting heads with people or constantly being the loud dominant one.

If you ever doubt for a fraction of a second that you're an alpha male, then there's a good chance you're not...

Saying that is like saying an individual's personality can't come through on a forum either.

You're right TD.

So much context and substance is completely and totally lost via the Internet.

The only way to truly understand someone is to see them in different situations, which includes when they're alone...which case, we never really know anyone.

Are you kidding? That's all he's been doing. Waiving his dick around as he takes us to European Socialism...

Anyway:

Self-awareness very often destroys what you have just become aware of. Confident people don't 'think' they're confident, because a truly confident person doesn't have to say that to themselves, they just are. Once a man is aware of his humility, he no longer is humble. And, the same holds true for Alpha. If you state you're alpha, then you truly are not.

TD- whats your definition of Alpha then?
