**Disclaimer - I am a Red-Piller myself.

Now I know the standard archetypal dark triade is popular on TRP, and I've known some of these people in real life, but I think maybe sometimes people on TRP fall into the trap of thinking that this is the type which is the embodiment of Chad.

I'm 22 years old for reference. Most Chad's I know who do well with women and also with people in general, tend to be VERY positive people. Not in an annoying cheery sort of way, but just very grateful people, when you meet them, they make you feel like a million bucks. They have an attitude towards life that you just can't buy.

The biggest Chad I know is a black dude, who's about 6''2 and 200lbs, 13-14% bodyfat. He lifts and is good looking. But his attitude is just so positive and uplifting. It's like his love for life is infectious. He's very optimistic. I've met others like him, who are also extremely successful with women.

The dark triad types exist, but usually other aspects in their life are shit. Their familial relationships and relations with friends turn to shit. I've known these guys, I have them in my family, where they do great with women but completely fuck over and betray friends/other family members. REAL narcissists/sociopaths are NOT people to aspire to be like, they are all kinds of fucked up.. Whereas the more 'positive'/uplifting types, not only do well with women but just do well with people in general.

I suppose the main difference, is that the triad stereotype is someone who has very good social skills, appears likeable but has to pretend to like people and socialising. Whereas the naturally positive Alpha genuinely loves meeting people and socialising. Both may appear similar, but only one of them is genuine.
