Today I'm going to share the story of a natural alpha from my personal life in order to illustrate why being a natural alpha isn't enough to succeed in the modern world. Edit - To clarify: I define a "natural alpha" as someone who possesses the physical traits typically associated with an alpha but has no understanding of game or social dynamics. I will be discussing the importance of understanding game and TRP theory and why simply possessing alpha physical traits isn't enough to succeed. While this isn't a novel concept for TRP, this post is illustrating an example from my personal life reinforcing the concept. The post is a combination of a retrospective look at events as well as an evaluation of events currently taking place.

When I was 15 years old I decided I wanted to get big. I began working out at my local gym and eventually met Viking Bro (VB). In retrospect, VB appeared to be a natural alpha. He squatted 525 as a freshmen in highschool and towered amongst the treetops. VB was 9 years older than me however we bonded and he became a mentor to me. He would tell me stories from his college days and all the girls he got with - I always asked him "how" he got the girls and he said it simply happened. He didn't know how to articulate game but him being naturally alpha allowed him success with women and to learn how to game them subconsciously.

Fast forward two years, I am smarter and stronger. I haven't yet found TRP at this point however I am beginning to move in that direction. VB starts talking about a girlfriend he has - this is unusual because he typically doesn't talk too much about girlfriends. Fast forward another six months - VB tells me he's going to be a father. I tell him congrats etc. Fast forward two months, VB tells me he is going to propose to her because he doesn't think it is "alright" to have a child and not be married to the girl. He liked the girl so it was ok, right? Fast forward another two years and I see them fighting on facebook despite living in the same house. He constantly is working to please her - he moved jobs so he could be closer/home more often with her and their child.

Now, lets look at this from a red pill perspective and learn the mistakes the natural alpha made and how his girlfriend locked him down. To begin, VB would always talk about his family's businesses (in the millions) - letting women know you are loaded is potentially setting yourself up to be BB in their mind. While VB was initially an AF, he likely became BB in this girls mind once she started dating him and how he would talk about his families wealth. Next, VB trusted the girl he was dating with birth control. You should always wrap your shit up unless you want to risk having a child. VB also allowed himself to be pressured into marriage by his family/GF because "what would society think?!" if he didn't. VB's girlfriend was 28, several years older than him, and about to hit the wall - is it a coincidence she forgot to take her birth control and locked down a natural alpha right as she was hitting the wall? I'll let you answer that question for yourself. Next, VB was a AF but had no idea how to function inside of a relationship. He could game women all day but similar to PUA - just because you can game/sleep with woman doesn't mean you possess the inherent qualities to retain control within a relationship. VB caving into his girlfriend and changing jobs to make her happy is evidence he didn't understand frame or game within the context of a LTR/marriage. It is very clear that he is putting her before himself as her FB pictures are all of her and his are all of him/her. He also constantly posts pictures of the work he is doing for her, landscaping, painting etc., for validation from her/FB - not a good move. VB may be a natural alpha but he only understood marriage as it was taught by society and this is backfiring tremendously. While I cannot speak to the girls motives, considering how rich VB's family is and the fact that their marriage is going through some moderate turmoil at the moment - unless VB starts instituting some frame control/Alpha tendencies within the context of his marriage she may be planning on leaving with the kids now that the honeymoon period is over. She would be incredibly well off considering how much money VB has behind him.

In short, being a natural alpha is not enough in the modern world. Anyone experienced with the red pill would have seen her moves for what they truly are. Being a natural alpha provides a huge advantage in social interactions however one must also understand the "why" behind social dynamics instead of simply the "how".
