THIS is why you need to get your ass to the gym

I just want to preface my analysis of the video by saying, if you are not working out and staying fit, do it now. Among other things, they found that bigger males are immediately perceived to have an alpha status, while smaller males were perceived as beta. As such, these beta are treated worse (i.e. get the short end of the stick) primarily by alphas but even by women/and other betas.

If you don't have time to watch all 45 minutes of the video, please watch the first 20 minutes, and pay particular attention to Naftalie. He isn't the tallest man in the group, but he is by far the most dominant, that which I attribute primarily to his physique, and a little bit to his personality.

Something I noticed about Naftalie, was that he rarely if ever looked nervous, even though he didn't necessarily have the same level of knowledge or expertise as his group mates, he kept a smug grin on his face almost the whole time. Later, we see when a female enters the groups domain, Naftalie displays his dominance over his other team mates by both being first to engage her, and then putting his arms around them during a photo shoot in a bid to win over her attention. Also please please note, that Naftalie is jacked as hell, and displays all the confidence of a man who is stronger than his group mates.

The real reason I wanted to post this video is because I wanted to show that even if you're not the best looking, tallest, or have the best teeth, you can still display alpha characteristics in a group. One of the easiest ways to express dominance, is to display strength, and what better way to do this then through a fit body? Secondly, dominate the space you are in; tactfully and smugly. Finally, be a man of action, the Alpha male always acts, he does not dilly dally or defer to Beta, he acts. Must these actions always end in the desired result? No (See the part where Naftalie gets ignored when trying to approach said girl), but would you rather live with the consequences of your own decision, or the consequences of someone else's (Or even worse, the regret of indecision)?. Am I saying to be a brash idiot? No. But become a man of action, and you'll notice that you will gain more respect from your peers and superiors/subordinates alike.

tl;dr: Be a man of action, and for all that is holy and true, do your God damned dead lifts, squats, and over head presses.

EDIT: And don't be an idiot like I was, and neglect the bench press.
