Respect like the Godfather...

[Hank Moodie]

Whats happenin boys,

Every guy loves the Godfather. Its one of those movies that makes you want to put on a huge ass gangster ring and have people kiss it .... PURE RESPECT MUTHA****A!

Ive hit up the trilogy and it made me think?

Im a guy who follows Alpha Male philosophy and Im pretty much respected by other Alpha males in my community based on the way I talk, behave, and the activities that I do like working out, sports, etc.

But what really gets a man true respect and loyalty?

I currently live in residence UWO (1st year) and when i hang out with people on my floor I can see them treating me as high value when they are around me but I dont see that bond of brotherhood and loyalty thats present in the godfather. In other words I get a feeling that these boys might not back me up in a fight, even though i wont need it but still.

Think of the community im talking about as a social food chain. AFC's at the bottom and Alphas and players at the top. How can one get to the top of the chain with people (girls included) respecting him with close and respectful friends on the side? How can i create the respect and brotherly type loyalty found in the Godfather?

In other words.... how can I become the "GODFATHER" of my community and social circle.


Spit out your Wisdom boys, im all ears.

Well as far as "true respect",it comes from truely respecting YOURSELF FIRST. When you truely respect yourself and others see this about you,then they'll either respect you as well,or YOU WILL cut them OUT OF YOUR LIFE for disrespecting you.

Look man,while it's good that you have this new found appreciation for the "Godfather" movies,they're just that....movies. You're trying project what you saw and liked on film onto people in real life. Doesn't work that way.

You want WISDOM? Here it is.....


The Godfather is a MOVIE. It's a film. It's cameras,lighting,sound,actors and actresses. All that "respect" and "brotherhood" you saw were actors following a SCRIPT. Everything they said and everything they did was practiced and rehearshed over and over again until they got it right,or edited to make it look that way.



Seems to me that you're trying to get people (both men and women) who are just going about there normal lives to follow and act out this movie you like. Sorry man,there's no script in real life.




So watch the movies,enjoy 'em. Hey,there may even be some things you can learn from some films,but when you start expecting friends,family members,or even random strangers to start behaving like FICTIONAL CHARACTERS in some movie you saw that got you all pumped up,that's where you set yourself up for disappointment my friend.

Actions speak louder than words. Never tell people what your capable of or can do. Show it through your actions.

Always do what you say. Be a man of your word.

humbleness goes a long way. Braggers are usually the ones that are all show no go/they can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. If you're rich, than you're rich. What does it really do if you tell the world you got money? It doesn't get you any more of it, if anything you'll have less of it.

Have people people know you are reasonable and they can get on your good side, but let them FEAR your bad side.

People are always going to take advantage of you or atleast try. PEACE does not come for free, it is fought for and earned. When you fvck someone up, make sure you only have to do it once. Send the message the first time around. (i wouldn't recommended this one). I always stood by this one but it have gotten me into trouble.

If you want people to follow you and believe in you, you need to take the lead and succeed. Success doesn't always come naturally. It can also come persistence and perseverance.

Respect is earned. You can't demand it or ask for it.

HA i think youre a little lost bro. I hate putting you down like this but i think your missing the point clearly. Im not saying I want to be Vito Curleone and head of the mafia. Weve all seen Alphas who are just at the top, who have other people looking up to them, close friends who are always backing them up and auras which make people with higher authority even show respect. Man I even remember this one kid few years back before I moved that made everyone feel as if he was their brother, everybody respected this guy even people who would just meet him. I don’t know if it was the way he talked or acted or the image he had? But he was definitely close to what im describing.

So don’t give me a speech on having self-respect or taking the movie too seriously, its not even about that bud.


Keep the comments rolling>>

Find and keep your true friends, they will watch your back and you watch theirs. However, you don't know how they will act or how you will trully act when trouble knocks on the door. You might just turn your back and run, so might your "friends". Untill then you might not be the Alpha you think you are.

In the Godfather there were all sort of betrayals etc... So the film captured that side the human nature perfectly.

One thing you will notice about the Godfather. He gives. "You ask me this on the day of my daughter's wedding". He gives and he takes. People who only give are seen as weak, people who only take are shunned, or destroyed eventually. Knowing that you will take care of your people but not let anyone run over you is the key component of respect.

Of course the godfather also rules by fear, intimidation and playing to peoples base motives such as greed.

I had a band director in high school like this. He WAS the Godfather. He had this aura about him. People knew not to mess with him. He had high standards and awarded the people that met them, but humiliated those that didn't take him seriously (in one case, even having him removed from the class). He didn't talk a whole lot, but when he did people listened. He would do things and then not explain them, leaving people to wonder what happened (like it was with the student that was removed).

He was bald and average height, maybe a little shorter. He had a very biting sarcasm and his jokes were good. There was a warmth about him that he mostly hid in public. Most of all, though, he was really on top of his game. He knew what he was doing. And if he saw that you worked hard and that you were making sacrifices for the band, a bond started to develop. Being on his good side was the most rewarding thing of all. He had power because he was an adult and we were students, but he had respect. He was liked and feared at the same time. But when you started to develop a bond with him, it was like he was taking you into his circle, like he saw you as an equal, a man striving for excellence, rather than just another idiot.

Later I found out that his favorite movie was...The Godfather.

But what really gets a man true respect and loyalty?

Do you know why people join gangs and mafias? It's because they get something out of it. People pursue their own self-interest. They only kiss the ring as thanks for what they already have received, not because they enjoy the devotion. Respect and loyalty come from putting people in a better position than they were before they met you. People respect you because of what you have done for them in the past, and they are loyal to you because of what they expect you to do for them in the future.

Make an offer to your boys that can't refuse.

no one who is the man says they are the man. no one who is on top has to ask how to get on top. They just do it. What I am going to do is outline the thought process between the fake alphas that predominantly post threads like this and real winners. My example will be rather specific, but its something I happened to know a lot about.

teh alpha - How do I act in order to get to the top of my social group? How can I manipulate people to get better gains? All this theory says I should be walking in front, talking louder, taking whats mine, screwing lots of women. While i can't back this up, i have read plenty of posts about it and think I can do it.

Winners - I have put together a good college career and am eyeing a shot at the pros. What needs to improve is my two way play, skating, and willingness to get in the corners and win puck battles. This summer I plan on hitting the weights hard and putting on weight so I can stay on the puck easier. In an effort to be less of a pass first guy, I also plan on shooting 600 pucks per day to improve my shot speed and accuracy. It'll be a long hard road, but if I show up to camp in august in top shape, I think I have a shot at the show this fall..

What is the fundamental difference between the first outlook and the second? Which person do you think is a real "alpha". Posts like this epitomize the whole fake #1 culture that is saturating this forums. It looks stupid. No one who is a winner has to say they are a winner. People who ask how to be winners are looking for the shortest way there. Lazyness not only won't vault you to #1, it'll just make you look dumb for trying.

Be a man and put in the work. Real winners aren't going to relinquish their reigns to fake winners who talk about how great they are. If you want to get into a career of lip service, get into politics.

The first guy sounds like an inquisitive mind. He is sharp, cunning and will do anything to get on top. In this case he wants to be the best socially.

The second guy is talking about ice hockey? and has career goals that are different from guy 1. He wasted his time and money in college which will not be used in his sports.

It's all interpretation. There is nothing here to say anything significant about guy 1 and guy 2, yet you are bashing guy 1 because he fits your stereotype of 'fake'.

I dont like people who make posts like these that are not very well thought out.

My argument was meant to illustrate the different mindsets between true winners and people who have to say they are winners. Perhaps a more relevant example would have been to post a few of the fitness logs in the H&F forum. I posted on something I happen to have some experience in. I digress. We have one group that advocates achieving goals and bettering ones self, and the other are newbies who are 'alpha this and alpha that'. Sorry, but I honestly don't believe there is merit at focusing on being on top without actually being a man of merit. the whole PUA community (mystery method) is focused on creating fake value and to a point this ideology is carried out here. Rotely memorizing how to be 'that guy' is retarded and nerdy.

A number of years ago we had a crew up to my neck of the woods to go into the city and enjoy the night. Most of us were friends, but a few tagged along just because. Thats cool. One of the kids must have been reading the PUA material and the DeAngelo C&F routines...no joke. The kid was a tool and kept trying to be ****y/funny and was a jerkoff to all the chicks. He tried being the leader of the group and thought he was going to get the girls. We all were pre gaming and enjoying the time, and he would step up and try to 'lead' the group to rush out to the clubs. Me being a man of the simple life just sat back and watched him try so hard and fall on his face. I ended up chatting with all the women he was hitting on, and hooking up with one while he slept on the floor in all his alphaness. I am not a #1 like he tried so hard to be, but I was the one who wins night in and night out with women and in life.

F-it. The pretenders can have their coveted alpha title. Their results speak for themselves. I prefer results. Winning > pretending.
