Being Alpha is the goal of ever man on r/theredpill if it wasn't you wouldn't be here, many of us have been kicked around in life and burned by women who took advantage of us when were betas or simply didn't act in an Alpha way. The key to being Alpha I have realized is self control, allow me to elaborate.

Say your girl says "Hey honey let's see (insert chick flick here)" but you would rather see (insert action flick here). Now, if you have no self control and are ruled by emotions then you will be swayed by your fear of a negative reaction to say "Okay babe, I'm down" while inside your mind you're thinking fuck my life why can't I be drunk. That running from a negative emotion is a lack of self control. If you have superior self control and do what is in yours and her best interest you will swallow those unpleasant feelings and say what you actually feel.

This ability to not be swayed by emotions will make you alpha, I guarantee it.
