Sure, but there are situations when fighting is inevitable. If you are under the illusion that a high smv will keep you from any aggression you are up for a rough awakening.
In reality, any man should know how to fight and defend himself.
[–]1randomperson1233212 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
From what I understand, the OP does not consider being ready to fight the same thing as being aggressive. Fighting by itself is not a sign of aggression.
Force != Aggression
The initiator is the one being aggressive. Taking him out, with or without force is self-defense. It's a way to assert yourself.
There are various ways to be aggressive. Trash talk, initiating physical contact, ordering people around, the silent treatment, and various other actions can also be used in an aggressive manner.

In my experience you have to show certain level of aggression to intimidate other males into not fighting (and even then sometimes its inevitable). If you are too calm and pacific in a confrontational situation, other males will interpret it as a sign of weakness and will push on. If you rise to their level and become confrontational and aggressive a lot of the time they back off, after testing your aggressive frame.
You have to think this situation is one in which people are making possible life and dead decisions in milliseconds with very limited information and full of hormones pumping. This is not a person meditating at home, making a list of pros and cons to decide if he is punching you or not. You have to appeal to his primal instincts, and showing strength or weakness is key.
Think about two dogs about to fight each other over a food, f.e. One dog becomes aggressive, start mauling, showing teeth, faking a push forward... Then the other responds with soft tones, moving modestly, trying to appease the other dog. At first impression who would you think is getting the food?
I know reddit is full of nerds that have avoided violence all their life and that want to believe getting a high paying job will turn them into awesome alphas (and there is something to that). But violence is part of life and sometimes inevitable. Any man worth being called a man should know how to fight and handle violent situations. The rest is just male hamster-ing.

Specially if you consider angry betas and white knights.
[–]Mckallidon3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Agreed. Powerful men get what they want mostly via charm, influence, negotiation etc. violence is how incompetent people try to control.
[–]GrandPriestofGame2 points 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Yeah, the difference between a world leader and some drunk at the bar.
[–]SunTzuArtofWar0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
So you would consider Genghis Khan to be a "beta"? The most violent person ever
[–]Mckallidon0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
What is your criteria for most violent person ever? And no. Why? The man was a leader. He stood on the shoulders of giants. He didn't get to be who he was by only killing people. The man had to have a base of committed supporters to execute his vision which usually involves persuasion and negotiation. It doesn't matter if he was so badass because 10 schmucks will still kill a badass they don't like.
Fact is he was quite visionary for his people and articulated large new ideas that people got behind. Success is never an accident. The guy was alpha as fuck and fathered more kids than anyone else because of this. What you obviously don't understand is that strong leaders use violence last whereas the weak use violence first because that is all that they have.
Look at violence and criminality in the US. Mostly people shaped by having no power or control in most aspects of their lives, because they're largely the bottom of the food chain and asserting it in taboo ways. Obviously this isn't an apples to apples analogy, but fact is the less your hands have to get dirty for your benefit, the more alpha you are. The violence of Khan and the violence of a street thugs are also very very different in motive, execution, outcome, etc than a butthurt chump trying to yolo. Personal violence is the scope of the author's idea. Aggregate political violence is irrelevant for the what the author was discussing. But, I will still point out getting lots of people to kill withyou for your ends is obviously alpha and not beta.

What the fuck?
Check the holier-than-thou morals in at the door. Initiating Aggression and taking crazy daring unnecessary risks is the definition of the alpha animal, what makes him different from the more timid and risk-averse beta herd. The betas have a much safer life, compared to the alpha.
We can observe that there's no problem in the West of too many males being too aggressive, there's the opposite problem instead. Yet posts like this are created, in a desperate attempt to re-write the red pill to be more moral and seem acceptable to the "good guys". Missing the point dude, it was not supposed to be acceptable or wonderful.
Explained another way, the beta male herd always wants to feel like it's bad to be alpha, bad to be a predator - this is an expression of "slave morality" and it's so old, that Nietzsche's "Geneaology of Morals" already addressed it nearly 200 years ago. Now you've gone and restated that creed of cowardice, except using TRP alpha-beta language. It's pointless mental masturbation with a predictable outcome: we are the good ones. Fuck that.
And fuck no, aggressive male behaviour is not somehow inherently uncouth, and fuck no, it can't be shamed using TRP's own language.
At the end of the day, who even gives a shit whether "godfatherchimp" from TRP thinks what a man did was "very, very beta"? It's a useful distinction (between alpha and beta) to explain certain things, put them in stark contrast for newbies. But it's irrelevant in the real world. Alpha and beta are not moral categories. Alpha does not equal "good successful man". Alpha equals aggression, a born bully, a risk taker with balls of steel and no brakes, whose escapades will probably not end well. The only reason TRP cares about "the alpha" is because of women's built-in obsession with those antisocial characteristics. We dont' worship the alpha, they do - we just use their tendencies in order to get more pussy. It's done by putting on a grandstanding alpha-show when needed, and then rolling it back when no longer necessary or beneficial.
The ultimate proof of what I'm saying to you is just watch how women react to your sanitized, noble version of "alpha" vs the dirty and ugly shit that the red pill tried to explain to you. They will turn up their cute noses at all your noble alphas ("eewww, creepy"), to worship the big, brash, brainless bully or the cunning and extremely aggressive sociopath instead.

Jails are overflowing with "alphas" such as these. Lack of impulse control is the distinction here. Noninitiation of force is a cornerstone of Libertarian philosophy.
Learning self-defense gave me an unflappable frame; when aggressive fucks test me and I don't flinch, they usually turn their attention elsewhere. I count this as an alpha win.

That's what I thought too. Great comment.

No, it isn't. Though TRP is a sexual strategy, it doesn't treat sex as an end in itself, but as a tool for men to become a better version of themselves. There's no rolling back the alpha, that's what separates PUA from TRP.

I never said anything about morals. How the fuck are you an endorsed contributor? Take your straw mans elsewhere.
[–]1randomperson1233214 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True. There is more too.
Submitting to aggression is also "beta". The way this submission happens can be obvious, though it is mostly subliminal. Depending on the context the same actions send different messages, like silence for example, it can be a "you win" message or a "you're not worthy of my attention" message.

I think you are confusing anger with aggression. Indeed, angry aggression is exactly as you say. Anger is the enemy here. However, ruthless pursuit of your aims is something different. This also applies to violent aggression. Women hate it when men to that stupid mindless posturing and fighting shit, like they are a contest for m'lades affection. However, they LOVE violence that is on their behalf, meaning it promotes their goals.
So, I don't necessarily have the gift of narrative that some of the big name posters here, but I do have a lifetime of experience I can share. So I do that. Take this or ignore this. I have been in a couple fights over women, when I was rather young, and none of them resulted in anything good with the woman in question. Mate guarding and mate acquisition just doesn't work.
However, there was this one time at a rather large party where this guy was being an utter dick to his girlfriend. Big guy and thought he was the bees knees because of it. I was manning the margarita blender and got to hear all this bullshit, even over the... well blender. It was just bringing the tone of the place down. It got to the point where other conversations were stopping because they had to listen to this. Eventually, I was done.
I turned towards him, being on the other end of a crowded kitchen and yelled, "just stop. No one wants to hear this. None of us. Stop." I have a pretty loud voice. He does the classic what are you going to do about it bullshit. He steps. And I set upon him like a grizzly woken from hibernation a month too soon. It took two off duty cops (friends) and a marine to get me off him. (Things were a lot different 30 years ago; men got to resolve their differences the old fashioned way without all the drama, as long as things were fair.).
He and I eventually buried the hatchet on the indecent, as all men should do. He moved on. I moved on. But before that I fucked his ex, her three friends from the party, the host of the party (who ended up being a short-term gf, that might of gone long term if it wasn't for her poor birth-control regimen adherence) and five of her college friends that were at the party, including the chick obsessed with peppermint schnapps but couldn't figure out why she drunk puked all the time. Three of them specific cited the incident as a something they liked.
TL;DR: anger bad--yoda is right. fighting for women--bad. fighting for common objectives--pussy wet.

No, I'm defining "aggression" as the libertarians define it in the Non-Aggression Principle
[–]AnjaJutta0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
There is always a duality in these interactions. You think he lost his cool too fast and is a beta, he thinks he gave you a shit test and you buckled.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I always try to defuse situations getting into fights is pointless because I don't know how to fight and I don't want to play into others hands so to say.
[–]SunTzuArtofWar0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
What would Genghis Khan, or Atilla do if you were flirting with his girl? Or Scarface?
Recklessness, aggression, dominance are alpha traits
Many rapists are ultra alpha males, they don't give a fuck about anything and that includes the law. Genghis Khan is the most notorious rapist in history
This is the red pill, we are suppose to see men (alphas and betas) for what they ARE, not some idealized version, that's blue pill
With regards to killing, you think Caesar, Napoleon, Charlemagne, Leonidas, Atilla etc do "beta" things?
[–]godfatherchimp-1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Some of his actions were beta...like raping women because he wasn't sexually attractive enough to them. He should have lifted more.
It is impossible for Chad Thundercock to rape any woman because any woman he wants to fuck also wants to fuck him. Rape = aggressive beta behavior
[–]SunTzuArtofWar0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago* (3 children) | Copy Link
Aggressive beta is an oxymoron, aggression is an alpha trait, betas are passive.
Genghis Khan doesn't bother with "attracting" women cause he just doesn't give a fuck. He fucks whoever he wanted with or without consent. If he ran into a smart mouthed "Chad Thundercock", he'd just kill him. He bend the world to his will in which consent, attraction, and seduction were irrelevant to his goals. That is the definition of alpha
Why does the master of the world need to care if he was "sexually attractive"? He just didn't care
Alpha does not mean the abundance of sexual attraction, it's simply a combination of aggression, dominance, narcissism, confidence, recklessness, rebelliousness, and power
"A Streetcar named desire" demonstrates an abusive, rapist alpha male, in the original story his wife goes back to him. Plus he is a chad that commits rape anyways.
[–]godfatherchimp-1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Beta males most certainly can be aggressive. There's a difference between being aggressive while holding frame and being aggressive while losing frame. Alphas do the former and betas do the latter.
Genghis Khan doesn't bother with "attracting" women cause he just doesn't give a fuck. He fucks whoever he wanted with or without consent.
Chad doesn't need to give a fuck about attracting women either and fucks whoever he wants. The difference is that he always has consent because his SMV is so high. It is logically impossible for Chad to rape women. If your SMV is high enough, you don't need to rape any woman. Rape is a beta action. Why is this so difficult for you to comprehend?
If he ran into a smart mouthed "Chad Thundercock", he'd just kill him.
Or Chad would kill him because he's superior in every way. You are forgetting that Chad is the alpha archetype, he is basically a superhero. And let's be honest, the most likely circumstances that Ghengis Khan would run into Chad is because caught Chad in bed with his wives.
Those are alpha traits yes. But definition of alpha is being sexually attractive to women. Women are attracted to those traits.
[–]SunTzuArtofWar0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Chad does not fuck whoever he wants, because not every girl will fuck him. High SMV means more women, not all of them. Look at Khal Drogo on GoT, high SMV alpha chad, but he commits rape just because he feels like it.
Even Dicaprio got dumped once, that doesn't make him a beta male.
Not to mention vikings, huns, legions, and barbarians etc are all alphas and they committed rape on an industrial scale. Women love legionaries, but they still raped.
Unless you are meaning to tell me that all the rapists in history were just alpha males that went "beta", which doesn't make sense at all. In addition aggression, and dominance are both alpha traits.
Chad's SMV is effectively infinite, so every woman wants to fuck Chad. That's what it means to be Chad.
I never said that guys who get dumped are beta. Just because you're an alpha male doesn't mean you don't have some beta characteristics or can't do beta things. Every man has beta characteristics and does beta things. No man can have infinite SMV and be alpha 100% of the time like our archetype Chad Thundercock.
Some rapists are alphas, some are betas. But rape itself is a beta action.

Wrong. Things like fighting over women are natural. Everyone knows you can try your hardest to pretend you don't need any particular woman and that by doing this they'll EVENTUALLY flock to you, but it never works this way.
I've been on a dry spell and do too much reading here (in a bad way) and the only thing that has helped me mack a chick and line up sex was taking the advice of: 1. Be irrationally self-confident and 2. Always choose to be bold over timid. From the 16 laws of poon (funny name). Read the sidebar
That beta at the bar doesn't see a superior who he knows he couldn't touch. He saw you submit to his aggression by trying to do nothing, and he took it as a win. He also got his girl back from you, who you must have only begun talking to by being at least a bit bold and taking your risk. Keep doing that.
