Alpha, a loaded term to some, still has a place in our RP lexicon. To me Alpha = Frame, Game and Looks.

I've discussed RP carefully IRL with a few trusted friends. One who is a prototypical stem guy, benefited from this example how I explained my take on the role of the 3 biggies: Frame, Game and Looks vis a vis female attraction, through the lens of physics.

Looks are like Gravity:

  • it works at a distance, unlike the other attractors/forces, it throws a wide net as far as the eye can see and can influence a room
  • it's not the strongest force, at all
  • more is not "better" as most women have a looks threshold that is all you need to get past, "just enough" is where you need to be
  • if you are high in looks, great, leverage the fact that when you do get close to them, yes your power will grow at a square of the distance closed ;)

Game is like electromagnetic force:

  • the polarity difference between masculine and feminine- like positive and negative charges- is key to attraction
  • it works at close distances, you need to be able to be heard, not just your content but more importantly your tone, pace, OI, and confidence to be influencing the outcome
  • you can manufacture attraction through the use of push/pull, like generating a current when a rotor and a stator are actuated.
  • in a group setting, the ego drive of the woman to be the one to win your attention would be the permanent magnet you can use to your benefit; her awalt and hypergamy are traits you can rely on to predict her reaction to your game forces

Frame is like the (strong) nuclear force:

  • it functions at the closest distances
  • it is by far the strongest of forces
  • it's the most mysterious for guys to understand and cultivate
  • it defines reality and can truly be the force that changes your place in the world

In a way, in this order, like kids playing with a ball/rock, to playing with magnets/batteries, to eventually thinking about subatomic particles and maybe quantum theory - this may be the order you come into RP. It is critical you do not stop at gravity and EM, you must get nuclear if you are to be your best self and understand the power that Frame provides.
