Alpha literally just means "most attractive." And "attractive" is defined as whatever women want it to be. If women were fucking math majors, then TRP would say things like, "zomg he got 2400 on his SATs! So Alpha!"

...and, here's the really crucial bit: math majors would then start acting like jerks.

See, it's not being a jerk that makes a guy attractive. It's that getting what you want easily and often tends to spoil you. When people say that women like jerks, they're confusing cause and effect. It's like saying that being a douchebag makes someone rich. That's backwards. The truth is, being spoiled and rich often makes a person grow up to be an entitled douchebag. Women like whatever they like, as is their prerogative. But the reason they like certain things comes down to very old instincts. Certain behaviors (I don't mean being a jerk, but being dominant for example) conferred selective advantage.

There is variation in every generation, of course. There are indeed women out there who love the meek math major. The core blue-pill lie is to point to those outlier women as proof that the majority of women's preferences aren't really a majority. I honestly don't know why they do that.

On the flip side, there are men who start thinking about this stuff and conclude, "ah ha! I'll just be a jerk!" They are missing the truth too.

That said, there are certainly women who are now trained to associate "jerk" with "alpha" - in the same way that Pavlov conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell. Nonetheless, the underlying instinct was to salivate for food. Just as the underlying instinct in (the majority of women) is to figuratively salivate over certain behaviors in men.

Those men, finding that they can get away with being jerks, often become jerks. So it's possible that women are conditioned to that. Nonetheless, your best bet is to offer food - not ring the bell. Ringing the bell will get a reaction from a subset of individuals, namely those that are conditioned to it. But every dog loves food.

So the part is, how do you become what women want?

• Genetics: alphas, in evolutionary psych are men with the best genetics. Now the way we judge good genetics is by looking at someone. And before you start crying and thinking I got an ugly face. Realize, that there is a lot you can do for looks, take care of your skin, get into lifting, lose weight. The average American male is fat and unfit, you don't have a lot of competition before you start standing out in looks.

• Do fun and interesting shit. Every time someone asks how can I be a better more interesting man the advice is to read books well. Well from my own experience you don’t need to be a Renissance man to be fucking girls. What does work is if you can get girls into parties, go clubbing or in general do activities that women like to tag along into. This does not mean standing alone at a club either, it means actually dancing and being fun to be around. It can be being one of the few guys that have a car in your college/highschool. I know a rather ugly looking Indian dude that is on the Bhangra dance team for his school, and he bangs hot Indians girls pretty easily, because of this. Play a sport, and I am not talking about Fantasy Football. Sell pills.

• Have a good paying job: Every guy here laments at becoming a “beta bucks” thinking man I hope I don’t get stuck with a post wall hag. Realize this much, if women didn't find money attractive, then women would be fucking alphas till they die. The nerdy Asian doctor that is now getting attention from women after completing medschool would never get attention and likely stay alone for the rest of his life. Also if your job is the only good thing going on for you, then don’t be surprised if the only women that are interested in you when looking for a beta/bucks. If you read Michael's story, the way he describes himself is by his career. Look at me I have x money now, in x place. Reading that it's not surprising that he didn't get laid in college; he didn't have an identity outside his career.
