Is Being An "ALPHA-MALE" Genetic

[JezDuffield]

:yes: I want to know if you think that being an ALPHA-MALE is genetic or not, are you more likely to become one if your Grandfather, Father, or other members of your male family have been or are already one, what I am saying is if your own Dad and Big Brother are successful with woman should you be yourself, is ALPHA-MALEISM and LOSERISM passed down by the guys families. :yes:

Its highly debatable, but many aspects of your personality are genetic.


I was watching a 60 Minutes show about if homosexuality is genetic. 2 twins were born, one liked cars and trucks, one liked dolls. The one that liked dolls now is a confirmed homosexual. Can you say part of his personality was dictated at birth ? Sure.

So is alpha-male genetic ? I'm sure there are some cases where thats true.

Many times, however, your environment dictates your personality. I'd give it a 75% environemnt, 25% genetic.

Have you ever seen a case where a single 50 year old Dad wasn't a real ladies man yet the 15 year old son who lived in the same house as him was a real cool dude who could pull all of the hottest babes, I have seen this, but I have always wondered why it happened.

Well, was actually watching a program about war and **** like that, and they said that being an Alpha is genetic, (as you can clearly see in nature, there is only 1 leader of the pack because he dominates the rest; genetically more superior). These Alpha's (interestingly enough) are said to be the ones in a war that will kill without hesitation / feeling remorse (1% of the people doingthe killing is what they said). You can become Alpha by being superior to others around you, which can also be environmental, I'd say 75% genetic, 25% environmental

If this is the case would you consider the former Ugandan President and Dictator of the 70's "Idi Amin" or "Big Daddy" as he made his countrymen call him a true "ALPHA-MAN" as he said that we were all "WIMPS" "LOSERS" and "WUSSES" living in the democratic Westernised Worlds system yet he was a "REAL-MAN" in his words because he had established a "HAREM" of gorgeous woman whose lives he completely dominated, if he saw a pretty young white USA journalist he would just ask his henchmen to bring her in, this obviously upset the USA Government of the time, but he called us in the West wimps because our woman controlled us, was he right in his assessment.

I've never seen an "alpha male" who didn't have good genes - tall, muscular, good looking, etc. - so there's no doubt in my mind that there's a strong relationship between the two.

There may not be a specific gene that codes for alpha behavior, but when you have so much going for you, there's nothing to discourage the behavior like there is for lesser physical specimens.

In fact, the people around this man might actually encourage alpha behavior, even indirectly by instinctively adopting a submissive posture.

Answer Is Here

:yes: I want to know if you think that being an ALPHA-MALE is genetic or not, are you more likely to become one if your Grandfather, Father, or other members of your male family have been or are already one, what I am saying is if your own Dad and Big Brother are successful with woman should you be yourself, is ALPHA-MALEISM and LOSERISM passed down by the guys families. :yes:

Sorry, but the answer is, YES IT IS GENETIC. However, if your not genetically alpha male, it does not mean you can't learn the alpha male traits and behavior (which females are attracted to).. because its NURTURE over NATURE ... you see the begginings of alpha male in kidergarde and then grade school, i.e. those guys that are alpha male in the class, and then later on get high school girls... However, as you know, you still can have revenge of the nerd, such as getting good job and money (yes money buys confidence, a tait of alpha male), and then the dork gets hot as girls etc...

Hot Babes often ask me on MSN if I am Good Looking in the Classical sence or Good Looking in the Rugged sence, can anyone tell me what the difference between being Good Looking Classically or Ruggedly actually are.

Hot Babes often ask me on MSN if I am Good Looking in the Classical sence or Good Looking in the Rugged sence, can anyone tell me what the difference between being Good Looking Classically or Ruggedly actually are.

Classically: Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan
Ruggedly: Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris

 

[JezDuffield]

My girlfriend told me that, Brad Pitt and Mel Gibson, were both good looking in the classical sence but in the rugged as well, yet she told me that, Leonardo DeCaprio, was only good looking in the classical, and, Charles Bronson, in the rugged, but she said that, Robert Redford and Tom Cruise, were only good looking in the classical way.

it's too hard to say if it's genetic

if your father is a true alpha male I would think that his son would learn his alpha male traits from him

but if the kid never met his alpha male father he might be less alpha

Hey what's up with all these alpha male threads? I can't keep up. Just posted this elsewhere:

Being an alpha male is not genetic it is a way of thought that men have developed...it's looking in the mirror and saying "im the Sh!t...and walking like your the sh!t and also talking like your the sh!t...an alpha is nothing but a man who is completely at ease with his insecurities thus makes the women feel intimidated and extremely attracted to him...that's what an alpha male is

 

[DarkLight]

...an alpha is nothing but a man who is completely at ease with his insecurities thus makes the women feel intimidated and extremely attracted to him...

You phrased that interestingly.
I learned something from it. Thank you.

And I would have to agree in that being an Alpha is due to character shaped through environment... over genetics.

Being the alpha male is definitely not genetic. It all depends on who you are hanging out with. If the guys you roll with are less experienced than you are, then you become the alpha male by default, showing them the way.

My father is the king of the Alpha Males. He made 125 citizen's arrest living OUTSIDE HIS COUNTRY, invented a new gun which was published in major U.S.A gun magazines in '93, invented a three wheeled car at 18 and is a gun nut who carries a gun everywhere he goes and even talks back to the cops (who respect him because he befriended them). His father, though, was the biggest wuss you'd meet.

Now me, as his son, am nowhere near the Alpha level he is but i noticed that although it ain't easy to be my father it CAN be done, as i've adopted some of his traits WILLINGLY.

Genetics have alot to do with it, but when conditions are harsh, it's adaptive to develop these behaviors. Go to an upscale neighborhood and check out the kids. Most of them are scrwny white pale momma's boys. Now hit a ghetto... Man, those guys look and act like they're on steroids. The high fat content in their food increases teststerone hence can promote Alpha male traits, unlike the salad eating home-cooked food the upscale kids consume.

i don't really think it's genetic. while growing up as a kid, i use to go around looking for fights, and nobodies opinion mattered but my own. as i got older in school, i was constantly told i was a loser by teachers , i was banned from dances and i always got expelled. after awhile i believed all those things they said. soon i started becoming quite and shy.

it took me many years to break that shell. it's all in the environment your in.

Being an AlphaMale is about feeling comfortable in your own skin and not being worried nor concerned about what other people might think about you.

Every night I spend half an hour affirming positive thoughts about myself into my subconscious mind, saying things like "All of the hottest babes are attracted to you, love you, want to be with you, are attracted to you like a magnet" and "You are powerful charismatic irrisistable to attractive woman, you speak in a powerful voice, you succeed in everything you do", these I repeat to myself over and over again before I fall asleep in my bed.

I don't even try to attract woman as they have become naturally drawn towards me since I have been doing this, it is amazing, it really does work.

Every aspect of my life has changed since I have been doing this, my life is fantastic now, I don't only attract the hot babes, I also enjoy and succeed in all other areas of my life.

Being an AlphaMale may have some genetical attatchments to it, but I have been empowered to learn it by just affirming these positive thoughts about myself into my mind, it was that easy.

I don't even have to try to attract a hot babe, I don't have to think about cold approaches, or being ****y and funny, or asking them for phone numbers, or worrying about pick up lines or anything like that, I just do what I do in my everyday life and hot babes just come into my paths, as well as carreer opportunities and so many other magnificent things.
