People here seem more interested in belittering and acting cool and disecting faults instead of concentrating on what they should THE GOOD... The sitting down = GOOD, the interaction with the girls = GOOD etc.
absolutely untrue, the fact of the matter is this. Lets say we were in a bodybuilding forum and this guy made a video of him trying to show how to be physically intimidating, then when you you download the video it is a pencil neck nerd trying to flex, although he might know how to lift his arm up to flex, it looks completely unnatural and like he's trying too hard, and his nasally nerdy voice sounds like that of a girl. You'd laugh and be like WTF this has got to be a joke.
Then you see his friends which also look like nerds and you are like WTF does this dude even go to the gym.
What is misleading is that if you are beta and don't feel congruent with the alpha character (not sure if certain people have control over this) it will shine through you will be challenged and put in your place.
I think the only people who think this is a good example of how to act are the people who have no social experience in high status situations with powerful and very alpha individuals.
They read the bible or some other website and see OOOOOOO lean back? oooooo look around the room? ooooooo walk at a slower pace. Then see the video and go WOW that guy is doing that. They don't get it yet.
There is much more to it than that. The subleties of body language that we can't put our finger on usually come from our internal state of mind. I don't know how to explain it but I'm sure plenty people know what i mean.
Not sure if this has anything to do with it. But he doesn't not look very masculine. His stature especially where his fat lies on his body looks like he's got high estrogen for a guy. Maybe some test therapy would zap it out.
The problem here is that if people take this video seriousely and start to walk around exactly like this guy. And aren't alpha in the ways i described above. They are going to be laughed at or put in their place by a truely high status person. Plain and simple.
This is why some of us have dissenting view points that this is a good example. We aren't knitpicking subleties. We are saying what we are saying because of what is stated above.
