Generally speaking there's two types of Alphas. The natural Alpha and The learned Alpa. The Natural Alpha is one who steadily rises to the top in his youth. High School/College is a concentrated environment. You don't have to be an Alpha in Society. You simply have to be an Alpha within your school or college. Naturally some rise to the top by way of superior Genetics, better social conditioning by way of family etc, while others fall a little lower down the trough. With this comes the benefits of the Alpha, like being the prime selection for females within your given sector.
Then there is the learned Alpha, The learned Alpha never Naturally rose to the top, he had to climb his way to the to. He had to figure what traits made a person Alpha and obtain by way of hard work. He had to learn what behaviors made a person Alpha by way of hard work. Over time, bit by bit he manage to climb his way to the top of the ladder.
In some cases the learned Alpha climbs the ladder in High School/College. But more often than not it is a much longer process. On paper you would think that the Natural Alpha and the Learned alpha are the same. But one came by way of nature and one came through a long process of learning the exact mechanisms that make a person Alpha.
Natural Alpha vs Learned Alpha
You see, most of us here aren't Natural Alpha's and never will be, in some way or another we have had to learn and work to be where we are. At this point being a natural alpha is simply not a prospect. The Natural Alpha has had to face far less adversity to be where he is. He's never had to build himself from nothing. He never had to develop a strong frame. Build up game. He never had to learn what makes a woman tick. He never had to learn what woman are truly attracted to, how to manage them. He doesn't know what effect his actions have on his woman's behavior. He's never had to learn these things because woman have come to him naturally. He knows something works with woman, but not what exactly. This is where I feel the learned Alpha has an advantage.
The learned Alpha on the other hand had to build himself piece by piece. Adding skill after skill to get where he is. He had to learn how to have a steel frame. He had to learn how to game. He learnt exactly what moves yielded what results. He knows exactly what woman find attractive. He had to lift, he had to dress better. He built up his confidence, knows when to invest and when to withdraw. The learned Alpha had to build up his toolkit from nil and therefore knows damn well how to use them.
Biological Drivers
What drives a Learned Alpha to develop himself? What could drive a Natural Alpha to develop himself?? To understand that we have to understand what drives a human being.
We have three primary biological driving forces as human beings, that push us to play the game. Eating, sleeping and fucking (procreation). Money is crucial as it generally affords you two of those driving forces, eating and sleeping. With easily accessible modern structures such as housing and supermarkets, as long as you have a steady stream of income, eating and sleeping has pretty much been taken care of. We don't have to stress where we will be resting our head for the evening and we don't have anxieties about where our next meal will be coming from.
This leaves sex. Which is the ultimate end goal. Eating and sleeping is simply required to keep us functioning enough to have sex and pass on our genetic material to the best possible mate. Paying for sex is an option, but these don't evoke our pair bonding mechanisms. There's the cultural stigma that prevents prostitutes being the most desirable carriers of our offspring. Secondly, when paying for sex we are not choosing a woman that we want to have sex with, we are choosing to have sex and then finding a woman to pay to fulfill that. The fact that they are offering their pussies up so easily immediately triggers our warning signals that these woman are not high status. There's very little about these encounters that make us want to procreate with these woman, which is essentially the foundation of a biological driving force.
This leaves us being driven to roam the wilderness to find a suitable mate. We are in our peak position when we are able to pick our mates at will. This is the goal. The less abundant quality mates are the more driven we are to change ourselves. To improve ourselves, to get to the point where we can select better mates form a larger pool. On the contrary the more abundant mates we have, the less driven we are to improve ourselves, we have less incentive to.
This is why a Learned Alpha is made and a Natural Alpha is born. The Natural Alpha lives early life with abundant options, leading to far less of a need to develop himself. While the learned alpha lives early life baron, forcing him to evolve, in order to obtain a quality mate.
Learned Alphas, Natural Alphas, Biological Drivers and how it all comes together
Most of us here would be Learned Alphas, and we're better off for it. A learned Alpha's curve for life is an ever rising one. We never had an abundance of mates to choose from in our formative years. We continually had to add to our tool kit. Bettering ourselves every step of the way. We are conscious of the decisions we make and why we make them, because of this we can now direct our life in any direction we want. The Natural Alpha's curve on the other hand is more of a declining one, he's the hare. He gets the head start in life. He gets the easy life early on. For a short period of time. because with nothing to drive him, he stagnates.
Life is a long journey and although a head start can be great while it lasts, it's also one the most limiting factors in a your life. You've never had to work your ass off for everything that comes to you. You've never had to outwit and out maneuver life and those around you to get where you are. When life is easy you get lazy and complacent, you think it will always be that way because it's all you've ever known. You stop developing yourself. A prime example is HB10 women. Nothing is more intellectually useless to this world than HB10 women. With a buffet of mates drooling after them, life comes so easy. They never have to develop themselves. The problem arises when they splat against the wall at 30, without anything to offer other than their looks. And on a life scale of 70 years, this is an early hurdle, and very late to start the development.
The Natural Alpha has his wall too, when high school and college are over and he has to venture into the real world alone, he arrives weak and unequipped. He no longer holds the head start. He's now become the tortoise. Your early years are where your development is most crucial, it sets the tone for the rest of your life. It's where your mind is most malleable, like a sponge and able to absorb and internalize information and lessons. It's in these years that it's crucial to be developing yourself, not riding by with ease on your winning lottery ticket. When the wall arrives, The natural Alpha has to spend the next 50 years trying to play catch up, learning everything you now know already. That life won't always look out for you, people wont always love you for who you are, people and life only care about what you have to offer.
Adversity is lifes greatest teacher, and we should be thankful we've encountered it early on, but only if you overcome it. Not everyone becomes a learned Alpha, infact most don't. Most crumble underneath the weight of adversity. They look at the challenges in front of them and decide it's better to not take part at all. These are the incels and neckbeards who give up and wallow in the position they were born into. They complain why they're there, blame others, never taking responsibility for the direction their life takes. These are the tortoises that never leave the finish line, they don't even take part.
Any man who ever achieved anything faced adversity. It molded and groomed him for the success he would enjoy later on. Elon Musk, Jack Ma, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates. These are people who have shaped and are shaping our world. I don't think you could say that any of them were natural Alphas. None of them were drowning in pussy in their formative years. None of them had a plethora of mates to choose from. What they all faced was lifes greatest teacher, adversity. It drove them to achieve the things they did and put them in the positions they are today. Now they are all able to choose mates at will. They've ascended the biological ladder.
Being a Natural Alpha doesn't come without it's downsides though. Every failure is a direct result of your input. You are responsible for your self. Once you see how the world truly is, there's no going back. There's no fantasy that we all deserve something just because we exist. That women will love you for who you are. There's no entitlement. You become blatantly aware that your success is directly correlated to what you do. People only like you for what you can do. They only like you for what you offer them, and how you make them feel, but at least you know that you are in control. You control where your life goes. You control who gets to be apart of it. You can do what you want to get what you want. You have the tools to do this.
None of this is to say a Natural doesn't get pussy or isn't deserving of it. It's to say he doesn't know why he gets it. He hasn't had to face the harsh truths that people on like him for what he has to offer and not his great personality. He doesn't know that if he falls down that ladder towards average, people will start to disappear, he hasn;t had to experience that sting yet. Because pussy/people/friends have always been in abundance. He's never had to learn why. He's still blue pill. A learned Alpha knows exactly why he get's pussy, because he understands the sexual market. He's been forced to.
With that being said, do we want to be a Natural Alpha, who breezes through early life. Sitting on his genetic and social lottery ticket, getting all the girls in high school(mate selection), getting invited to all the parties. Being the popular kid everyone wants to be friends with. Or would we rather be the Learned Alpha, who didn't get anything for free. Who climbed the mountain step by step to the top but know's the route like the back of his hand. And if he ever falls, he'll know exactly how to get there again, because he's got a backpack full of tools and a mind full on wisdom.
You decide.
