Guys like these can be total alphas or scared little neurotic girls. You can never know unless you know them well.
 

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

This depends on the context of the definition of 'alpha'. Most of the time people define the concept as the leader of a group. He has a large internet following, so he is to them. For me, I couldn't give a **** who he is.

JP still gets a lot of hate, but you can tell he's hungry. That's why he's knocked out every person he's fought. People can debate whether the people he fought were "real fighters" blah blah.. but that doesn't take away from the hard work and dedication he has. He's trying desperately to shed the old Disney channel persona and make a real name for himself.

I have a feeling that Jake's career is gonna be a lot like Justin Timberlake's. JT used to be clowned on and was known as the "boy band" guy and wasn't taken seriously for a long time, then years later he's built a successful name for himself and shed that old boy-band image. You can also say the same about Justin Bieber. These guys just take it on the chin and keep going, which sounds like a pretty alpha trait to me.

Edit: Another example is Drake. "Wheelchair Jimmy" is now the biggest hip-hop artist on the planet.

The fact that he was a Disney persona is why my trust in him is still low. He has the build and reach, but I, too, am one of those guys who thinks he's being paid to fight paperweights or fallguys. It's just my intuition telling me knowing how the boxing and entertainment industry works. I'd be a fool to think otherwise.
