How to be alpha if you are short?

Being tall is an advantage, but is not a necessity. Look at the great leaders through history, a lot of them was short(Less than 5'8)

An alpha male. Like these guys: Alistair Overeem, Brock Lesnar, Vince Wilfork, etc.

Those guys are all huge as a career. If you want to be like them you'd need to get into MMA or whatever.

If you don't feel like a "real man" b/c you're not like those guys though, then you have some psychological issues you need to address. Being 'roided out to the max is just one aspect of manliness and no where close to the most important.

Royce gracie was 6 0 and he destroyed everyone. Whats your point? Being tall doesnt make you good at fighting lol. If you want to fuck everyone train mma and buy a gun.

5'8"? You're not even short

I'm 5'9" and when I wear shoes I am 5'10". I don't feel short at all when I am walking around campus. Most guys are my height or shorter.

Even if I was 5'4...I still could be an alpha. Keep reading...

Look over some Peter Dinklage interviews. He's assertive, wealthy and has a sense of humor, basically the three essential Alpha qualities.

This post just screams newbie

I'm 5'6" on a good day.

How do you stay alpha? The same way tall dudes, bald dudes, jacked dudes, rich dudes, fat dudes, skinny dudes, Asian dudes, Indian dudes, white dudes, all dudes who act alpha: hold frame like a champ, lift hard, work on your goals, and generally be high value.

Just because, if all things equal, a tall guy would win out doesn't mean you play a different game.

Shorter dudes are generally better fighters, so if you want to be a guy who can fight, go be it. No one's stopping you.

No, you don't always look "up" to people being short. 5'3 here and I do not.

I pay more attention to body language and keep enough distance that angle up/down is not relevant.

And no: super-tall people won't "beat the fuck" out of me if they want. First thing I'll do is break their knee caps (no muscle: can't build up to protect that) and next thing is something more dangerous if the fight is still on. If it's still on after that someone's ending up in the morgue.

I'm 5'7", so shorter than you. Sure, there are some girls who will absolutely positively NOT date guys that are shorter than 6'. Big fucking deal, there are 7 billion human beings on the planet, so, no shortage of women of fuckable age and hot bodies who WILL date shorter guys.

The mother of my son/ex-fianceé is about 4 inches taller than me. Most of my other LTR's were taller than me as well. And that was when i was a skinny ass near-beta. After i've redpilled and hit the gym, i'm having less and less problems landing girls that are both hot AND taller than me (as it is my preference).

So long as you take care of yourself(hit the gym, dress well, use good cologne), hold frame and have a tight game, you ARE alpha. You could be shorter than that and be alpha as fuck.

Do you know who is 5"7', same as me? Tom Cruise. And, if you look for it, you'll find many more big-name actors, musicians and performers who are about our height as well. Don't let it get to you.

Don't get stuck on wanting to be tall. STAND tall, and you'll be taller than NBA basketball players.

Brock Lesnar wouldn't beat up Overeem if Overeem messed with him.

Overeem would not beat up Ben Rothwell (shorter than AO) if Ben messed with him.

Haha I kid.

But posture and powerful frame reigns supreme always.

Look up Fedor Emelianenko who dominated the land of the giants.
