Congrats, you're alpha

I have said this before in other threads but I am a firm believer that you are the sum of your own experiences.

You have to take risks in life. It's impossible to play it safe 100% of the time anyway. Now this isn't to say that you should be reckless, but I believe in taking calculated risks.

I own a motorcycle. My family and friends call it a "donor cycle." And yes, I am at greater risk to be involved in a fatal collision. But I do my utmost to be a safe rider, I avoid unnecessary speed (most of the time) or stunt riding, and really, that's all I can do. I have no control over if somebody kills me on the bike, all I can do is ride safely and try and be aware.

I skydive. I'm learning to SCUBA this summer. I rock climb. I party (yes, that kind of partying). Do all of these things expose me to risk? Absolutely. But how are you really living if you never risk anything, including your own safety?

You have to challenge yourself in this world. Fear is a shitty reason not to do things. As we all know, fear is what keeps us from approaching that HB9 who's been stealing glances at you all night. Fear that you would fail is what kept you from pursuing your dream of becoming a world-famous musician, or artist, or writer, or rocket scientist. Fear inhibits us. Fear can end up controlling us.

I say fuck fear. It's not real anyway. Danger is real. But fear isn't. When I ride my bike, I acknowledge that every ride could be my last. But you know what? I don't care. I'm doing something i love doing, and if I died doing it I'd be glad I got to experience the rush of riding so many times before I went out.

Being an alpha is about grabbing life by the horns. Challenging yourself and your preconceived notions of what you can do and taking risks is a big part of that. And let me tell you something - upgrading your WOW character to lvl 80 isn't going to make you a more wholesome person. It isn't going to make you more attractive to the opposite sex. But being a man of action - a man who goes out and does what he wants with his life - that's attractive. And that's what leads to success in all aspects of your life. Especially with women.

I hate the way "Alpha" is so rampantly misused on this sub. That aside, the one thing most people here need to do more - most people on Reddit, I'd wager: forums do attract certain archetypes - is get out of their fucking head.

Set goals, but keep them to yourself.

Something I read years ago. US military would send peeps to the Rockies for training. End of day, young fit 'alphas' and 'wannabe alphas' flagging and the middle aged climbing instructors still full of vigour.

tptb thought it must be acclimitisation, so they had some recruits stay there for months. Nope. The grey hairs were still outperforming the young bucks.

Turns out, the reason the instructors were doing so well physically compared to the trainees was that the instructors LOVED rock climbing. Every step was a pleasure to them. To the young bucks, every step was one less hassle on the way to 'accomplishment'.

You may be "alpha" and have "plates", but do you have any strong connections? I'm not saying LTRs, just women in your life that you have good, solid, uplifting and fulfilling connections with.

That could be what's missing.

Anyone who thinks that Alpha is the finish line doesn't realize that it's where the journey really begins. After years of game and TRP, (and a few hard hitting lessons that, yes, all women are really like that) I finally feel myself on the first vestiges of Alpha. Not "hey look, I can run solid game", but "the solid game is who I am". However, this isn't even square one. Seeing the world through new eyes makes you re-orient everything, which you need to do before you can even take action. You have to rediscover what life means to you, because it's sure as shit not the Disneyesque ideal you held dear for so long.

When did a beta ever do anything great? Become Alpha, then your life starts

alpha lion with his pride of 5 or 6 HB9s pumping out his kids... hes still fighting off the wannabes until eventually one day some young punk is going to catch him when he has a flu and his ankle is playing up...

All true. I'd add that being Alpha is not what you do, but what you are, how you think. Alpha is a mindset. It's putting yourself above all else, and doing what you want to satisfy your desires. Do you want a HB9.5? Improve yourself until you're able to get her. Do you want another one? Go for it. You think you've found the mythical HB9.5 marriable unicorn? Marry her... at your own risk.

Life is all about taking risks, all about doing what you want despite what other people say or think about you. Yes, that means even doing something the Red Pill says you shouldn't really do. As long as you have the Alpha mindset and are aware that you're going against good advice and that you're doing it at your own risk(I.E, you're not deluding yourself), then you're good to go. Nobody can really tell you the contrary if its something you really want.

So, if you really are satisfied with women/sex, guess what... Sex is really good, and it's really important, but it ain't everything. Lucky for us, life is all about discovery. About learning what makes you tick, what makes your heart pump, what makes you truly happy.

And if you're really Alpha, then you don't even need me or anyone else to tell you this!

In another post people were talking about the journey of life, completion, ect. The kind of feeling you're talking about is an antsy feeling one gets when he reaches a milestone, and from there expects completion. One needs to remember that there is no completion, you always need a task, goal or mission. Yes your life will be better at that point, but that does not mean you can just chill out until you die. Depression WILL ensue.

Philhelm · 2015-02-25T19:25:38+00:00

Honestly, I don't give a shit about what's Alpha or Beta. If I had to categorize myself, it would be Beta Prime. What matters is that I'm not happy with my current state, and that I am trying to improve it. To that end, at the age of 34, I am applying for law school. I already have experience in law, so it seemed like a logical next step. One day, I want to pull up to this office in a Ferrari so that I can race my present employer in his Astin Martin. Maybe not, but something needs to happen and the Red Pill has helped pull me from my complacency.

Thanks for this post, been feeling this a bit lately and starting to set new goals. It's so tempting to just stop and be like wow, I'm the man now. Let me relax.

MoneyStatusLooks · 2015-02-26T19:19:49+00:00

The reason why people feel off when they achieve their goals is normally because the goal was not furfilling in itself.

Having plates, takes work and is pure hedonism. It's great, but no one goes through life just spinning plates. Most guys develop a mission, a proper mission with a good/worthwhile goal. I am not saying that spinning plates is not a worthwhile goal, it is, but at the end of the day, it's not something that is going to bring lasting satisfaction forever. There's only so many dumb bitches you can fuck before it gets boring.

I think an alpha represent highest point of bell curve, so once you are at the top the next comes is the fall.
