Being the alpha in a group of men RPwisdom February 15, 2019 7 upvotes /r/RPChristians Physical 20years old, 202 lbs, 21% body fat, Can’t do many of the main lifts due to 2 ganglion chats in my left wrist. Over a year ago I did 235 x2 on bench and have gotten bigger since then. Reading Books TRM I, TRM II, Modles by Marc Manson, Sidebar: for singles section, 100s and 200s Currently: reading through John and To Live Is Christ To Die Is Gain Spiritual Gave my life to Christ 2 years ago Bible reading: have always struggled to be consistent in this area. I’d say I average around 2-3 times a week Prayer: I have made it a thing to pray in the shower. I’ll usually have a long 10-15 minute prayer session about 3-4 times a week where I just bring my everything to the Lord and struggle forward through stuff Haven’t shared my faith much. Am going through Young Life training currently to mentor and share the gospel in the future. Finances Currently a sophomore in college majoring in Management of Information Systems and Finance with a 3.46 GPA Fortunate to have my father paying for all of my expenses for my 4 years How does one maintain being the AMOG within a group of guys. I’d say a majority of the time I’m the alpha with in my college household of 6 guys (including me). I’m really good with AA but it seems like the only tool in my arsenal. An example 5 of us went to play sand volleyball and piled in my friend car. It was 10 at night and I wasn’t looking to play super long before starting I say “best 2 of 3?” met with minimal reaction. “K, 2 out of 3 it is”. 2 of 3 set ends and talks of more volleyball begin. Me: “We played 2 of 3 as agreed” Driver: “I drove were going to play more” Me: “good things there’s Lime scooters (rentable electric scooters) right over there” proceeds to put on shoes and others begin to follow Friend 1: “I’m kind of done also” Friend 2: “I see that Friend 1 and u/RPwisdom are the pussies” Me: “yea, I think I’m actually on my period I need some vagisil” (yes I know vagisil isn’t for periods but it was funny) group laughter a minute passes and still talking about playing more volleyball as we drive back Me: “We played our 2 of 3 that I stated before we started” Driver: “Honestly, I just drown you out sometimes” group chuckle At that point I was got. What am I going to do there? AA that and say “yea I drown me out too”? Looking for your insights as to how you handle groups of guys.
