LET ME START BY SAYING THIS IS SIMPLY MY STORY ABOUT MY TRANSFORMATION AND HOW I DISCOVERED THIS SUBREDDIT AND THE TRUTH THAT IT IS SIMPLY OVERFLOWONG WITH. When I first discovered this subreddit, it was in a negative way. I'd been lead here through an insulting post referencing TRP. At first, I too was ready to have all sorts of negative things to say about you guys. But then as I read more and more posts, finding myself unable to stop digging, unable to stop clicking every blue post I could find, I realized that I'd swallowed the red pill a long time ago. When I was younger I was definitely beta. Very shy, timid, quiet , an overall pushover. But as I got older I became more confident. I became daring. I started training in MMA, I played football for a Season ( I got tired of losing due to other people sucking at their positions) and I started having an actual sex life. But until reading the posts In this subreddit earlier today I hadn't realized that I had transformed to , what I would call, a "quiet strength alpha". Without even knowing it i had established my role as alpha of my group of friends. Now at first glance im not such an imposing figure.I'm only about 5'9 maybe 5'10 at best and 22 years old .Usually about 150-155 pounds mostly muscle , very low body fat. (Out of shape for now due to a few months of complications with my heart and Inability to do any fitness training). So I'm not exactly a big guy. I'm considered very facially handsome by many of the women I know. Without sounding too cocky, i don't really have to put in effort to get laid. Some of my friends are big hockey players, another is a wrestler who is also bigger than myself. And overall i'm not very alpha looking. But i have a fighters spirit and i have the training behind me, so whenever the dudes decide to have some friendly competition and try to tap eachother out or do some friendly sparring type of activity, I absolutely dominate. But I don't do it to be dominant, I just love martial arts and I'm a competitive person, so I never really put any thoughts into the fact that I'd pretty much established that I was the last one to pick a fight with. Yet I stay humble about it, and am always willing to teach others. I don't like to be cocky, but I'm not afraid to step up to the challenge and deal with whoever is willing. I've always been a kind hearted nice guy who has a soft spot for a pretty face and some nice eyes. But after a 4 year relationship with a particularly difficult girl, my views changed for a little while. When I became single, I would get drunk at parties and hook up with as many girls as I could. It's amazing how proper posture and a little but of assertiveness can really bring in the girls. I gave up the sweet talking, and the chasing, and it worked so well. My main strategy was to talk to a girl for a few minutes, establish that I was attracted to her, and then just move on and keep partying, knowing that the girl would wonder why I wasn't all over her and she would then pursue me. It worked like a charm , and my best record is 2 girls at one party on a washing machine. I didn't get them at the same time though, I finished with one and then when we were done I went and got another, without either of them realizing. As I started this type of behavior , I realized that some of these girl had boyfriends or partners or whatever. But I just didn't give the slightest fuck. I knew one girl who would blatantly flirt with my I FRONT of her bf. He's a nice kid but a total pushover. So one night I made out with her while he was gone, just because I knew I could. I dropped my sympathy for these weak guys who just let these girls walk all over them. These are girls who honestly are fun people and nice when you get to know them. But they have these betas trying to tame them and it's become so apparent to me that assertiveness, dominance , and Confidence are some of the things that we as men will fail without. I will never live any other way.I had started out a shy little boy, and unknowingly taken the red pill. And I had no idea what improvement I'd made until I read the posts in this subreddit. I'm glad to be a part of this community and I look forward to further enlightenment!
