I just joined reddit a couple days ago. I should have joined a lot sooner.

I'm an introvert, but I have quite a few natural alpha characteristics. As a kid I stared down bullies who thought they could pick on me because I was often on my own. almost none of them actually had the guts to pick a fight, and when they did I made my point then let them run. I discovered agree and amplify on my own during my Freshman year of high school, but after that I began to cave to societal pressures little by little. I got jealous of all the fun that the "popular" crowd seemed to have, and thought I would be better off if I were a little more accommodating. What I really ended up doing was become a beta loner instead of an alpha loner. As frustrating as it is to look back on all the years I've wasted, it's also a huge relief to know that I already have what I was looking for. I just need to push forward instead of hold back.

Well, I can't say those years were a total waste. I played the role of a beta orbiter, I did not succumb to their delusions. I kept an objective perspective, and analyzed the female mind in search of a subtler way to win their favor. I have yet to test any of the strategies I devised with the data I collected, as I seldom got so much as a foot in the door while suppressing my alpha tendencies, but I look forward to sharing the results.
