And of course, in a win/lose situation, the losers will always have a grudge against the winner. And eventually, there's gonna be enough losers to take down the winner...Falcon said:Doesn't the alpha mindset seem to imply that there is a win/lose situation? shouldn't we strive for a win/win situation? When you dominate someone it is win/lose, when you cooperate and work together it is win/win.
I'm not sure about wolves, but in many species the alpha male is the only one who gets to fvck, and he gets to fvck all the females. You know, so his superior seed can be replicated and the betas inferior genes consigned to oblivion.DJinTraining06 said:Umm I think we're forgetting something here. The alpha male wolf wasn't the only one that was getting action from female wolves. they all were. So being the alpha male is not important in gettin women.
yes, and when that happens, the beta males usually go behind his back and fvck all the girls. so he is still no the only one.Nighthawk said:I'm not sure about wolves, but in many species the alpha male is the only one who gets to fvck, and he gets to fvck all the females.

No it's actually the beta males that go on dates with their 'girlfriends' while the alpha male actually fcuks no strings attached.Raikojo17 said:yes, and when that happens, the beta males usually go behind his back and fvck all the girls. so he is still no the only one.
If this is true, then how come there are still more betas over alphas after all these generations? If alphas plant their seed everywhere shouldn't there be more 'alpha genes' around?Nighthawk said:I'm not sure about wolves, but in many species the alpha male is the only one who gets to fvck, and he gets to fvck all the females.

I'm not doubting evolution or natural selection. What I am trying to find out is if it has been taken out of context.Nighthawk said:Evolution and natural selection are not analogies.
Let's break it down.I agree with you. I have seen so-called dating gurus trying to advise men on how to become alpha. The end result is that you have these new generation of men running around trying to act dominant and getting their feelings hurt in the long run.
Alpha isn't something that you put on like a coat. It is my belief that my genes are from the Hunter Gatherer genes. We are the ones who produced this mythical alpha male to guide our small families and tribes to better hunting grounds.
I've been told that women can smell my pheremones and can smell when I'm horny. You can't duplicate this with fake pheremone creams or sprays.
You either have it or you don't.
The grain society people first came out into dominance about 500 or so years ago by killing off the hunter gatherer folks do not have this. It's been bred out of them.
They do have something similar to the original alpha male. Some kind of nice guy running around kissing babies and being liked by everyone.
True alpha males if they haven't learned to adapt to modern society end up locked up or living on the outskirts of society.
The ones who do learn to adapt usually end up being entrepenuers and leaders of their industries.
You can't fake higher serotonin levels and all that.
You can't fake a natural agression or burning need to control.
What he says is in actual agreement (sorta) of what I said. But notice, he knows the materials of these gurus, so chances are, he probably got the idea from the gurus in the first place. It is an assumption that I have made, but it doesn't really matter. Let's explore what else he has to say.I agree with you. I have seen so-called dating gurus trying to advise men on how to become alpha. The end result is that you have these new generation of men running around trying to act dominant and getting their feelings hurt in the long run.
Look here! Who here knows their family line all the way back to the 'hunter/gatherer' days? I sure don't. I'm sure many of you don't. But he does! There is an incredible amount of pride in this statement.Alpha isn't something that you put on like a coat. It is my belief that my genes are from the Hunter Gatherer genes. We are the ones who produced this mythical alpha male to guide our small families and tribes to better hunting grounds.
Who would do that? No one goes up to somebody and says "Oh hey, nice phermones, I can definitely smell it!" Also, how would he know if the creams or sprays wouldn't work. Has he tried it? The whole idea that he knows there are creams out there raises a flag because I want to guess that he might have been interested in phermones at one point. (Much like how he knows what the gurus have said! It must be because he has sought out help to get women! :crackup: )I've been told that women can smell my pheremones and can smell when I'm horny. You can't duplicate this with fake pheremone creams or sprays.
Not only is this guy now an expert in evolutionary theory and ancient history, but he is also a history expert! He also knows his family line hundreds of generations back! Then he mentions 'serotonin'. I wonder, did he get his serotonin levels checked? Can you even do that? The only thing right now that he has an excessive amount of is pride. What's really appalling is the last statement.The grain society people first came out into dominance about 500 or so years ago by killing off the hunter gatherer folks do not have this. It's been bred out of them.

I'm sorry but if you have a burning need to just control you are insecure. One thing I learned at sosuave is that it's not about controlling others, but about controlling yourself. If this guy isn't successful in life, his whole reality will come crashing down. Because how can he not succeed? He's so sure he has the 'alpha male' genes. The mythical blessing. What happens if he pans out to be an average joe? He might go postal or fall into depression lol. It's funny, because what he actually did in this post is show that he is one of those guys that he mentioned in his first paragraph! Can you say this guy has taken it to far?You can't fake a natural agression or burning need to control.
There are some things he brings up that would be very hard to prove. I can't say much with that stuff. I merely wanted to point out his huge inflated ego which is caused by this 'alpha male' mindset. I'm surprised I couldn't make it clearDJF or John said:Falcon, before I make a response to this, answer this for me,
" Are you agreeing with the guy or disagreeing?"
I mean, I thought the guy was really "right on" in his post. You didn't think so?
Yes I agree, which is why I don't even think in terms of alpha anymore. Yes I am striving to be confident, etc. but I have basically blasted the term away and out of my head. That is why I say it is the worst label of all. Look at all the confusion it has caused. Look at the excessive pride it can cause. I wish I can write more, but I need to get some sleep. I'll be back later tomorrow. As for now, does anyone else see what I am trying to point out from that example I used?SnakeCharmer said:In Automotive Mechanics, the term "Differential" is a LOUSY term to describe the action that the pulling axle performs. It does not differintiate the power, it uses the power efficiently to move the vehicle. It is not called an "Efficiential".
In Plumbing, the term "fitting" is often a LOUSY way to describe the couplings that connect two pipes. As they simply do not "fit" well enough without the glue. To be a fitting, they would not need glue. They are not called "Glueings."
In cooking, the term "seasoning" is a LOUSY term to describe making the food mopre tasty. But, it is not called "Tasting".
Simply stated, the terms involved in any skill are unique to that skill. When overanalyzed by someone with little else to occupy their time, any terminology can be misconstrued.
Don't waste your time defining words which need no definition; instead, BECOME the embodiment of those terms, whatever they may be.
The Alpha Male term may not be the best one for the situation, but it does ring true. Translated it basically means The First Guy, which would imply needing to be the man standing on top of the heap of the other sissy men who like to knit.
It has nothing to do with having been in prison, nor does it need to be tied to some animalistic terminology. For cryin out loud, it is just a term to explain who can get laid, and who can't. Which category you fall into is much more important.
