What if you're not Alpha material?

deadgod1 · 2014-08-19T21:28:31+00:00

I hope this question gets taken seriously. We have a lot of focus here for men to increase their SMV (and rightfully so, I think this is great advice and sorely missing from the magic-pill game-is-everything PUA mindset).

But what kind of viewpoint should we have when our SMV is still not high enough to objectively match the female's SMV?

I know you might say I/he is lacking in confidence, but my frame here is that you can still be a confident man, and through raw intelligence know you are objectively lower SMV. It is literally possible.

e.g. 18 year old skinny, feminine, charming and sweet blonde (objectively a 9) vs 40 yo male, 5'7, has been working hard to improve his build (lifting), but not amazing yet, not incredibly rich (objectively a 7).

Is the red pill answer "lift more", "learn BJJ", "read more sir humphrey rollo-heartiste the 3rd until you have some dalai lama enlightenment moment", "work your way up your local pecking order by being the best insurance salesman you can possibly be! (modify to suit your current occupation)", etc?

Is it to have the dark triad narcissistic/psychotic trait of not intelligently realizing he is objectively lower SMV?

Is it to man up and be more confident? This is essentially a BP explanation. Let's assume he is already confident and would never ask these questions in the presence of the female he's interested in.

Is it to know he is lower in SMV, and not give a fuck? <- I'm guessing the answer is here, but would love some thoughts on how others deal with this. Right now at my stage in development, it is a major road block for me, I feel like I don't 'deserve' the female, because my SMV is objectively lower, and through TRP I can recognize and accept her instinct of wanting the Alpha Fucks (it's perfectly reasonable, better protector, better genes, etc).

You see the steam coming off this post? That's because its fresh bullshit. What you are feeling is doubt my brother, and you are experiencing this doubt because you are focusing on negative aspects of yourself. Or what you perceive as negative anyway.

"You say you're not a bastard? Then I'm not a dwarf. Know yourself Jon Snow. Know exactly what your are and wear it like a badge of honor. That way, nobody can hurt you with it." - Tyrion Lannister

Take your misfortunes and make them your strengths, be proud of who you are no matter what you are. Love yourself above all else. Take nothing seriously, nobody can hurt you if you are affected by nothing.

First you need time to think, take your time and evaluate your situation and the methods you will use to improve. Use your free time to focus on fitness, lift weight or bodyweight it doesn't matter which. Care about nobody or nothing but yourself. Just make sure you work out whenever you can, the endorphins will transform your pattern of thought from negative to positive. Your confidence will peak and this is when you start planning for your financial future.

I'm in my late 20's. Last year, my lowest point in life, I was working a sewage pipe clearing job using the clam bucket system making shit money with no hope for my future. I had to use public transport smelling like shit every day. I was a broken man, but after a while, I started getting angry, very angry. TRP helped me channel that anger.

I'm now working hotels, clubs and restaurants mixing drinks and run a business on the side. I couldn't be bothered with women, I next them as soon as they bitch, I fuck their friends, cousins and sisters on the side if I can. I'm too busy to care about their feelings. I make more money than the lecturers who booted me from college and the father who denied me a roof over my head when I had to beg him or face homelessness.

I will never be that weak pussy again, and neither will you.

I remember all the people that kicked me when I was down. I remember them. And so will you.

The funny thing about life is one day, the people who deny you dignity, one day they will need something from you. They will stand at your doorstep, their hands extended. But you will treat them as much a stranger as they see before them.

I'd love to type more but I'm in a hurry, I hope this comment helped you even if in the smallest way my brother.

Alpha is an idea. One that most never reach fully, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is whatever level of self improvement you're capable of. Get more fit, make more money, become more social. Whatever you can do to get closer to alpha.

VegasHostTre · 2014-08-19T22:16:13+00:00

Nobody can completely capture the essence of Alpha. Those that have are probably in jail. But if you want to spin some plates, know that you are in your late 20's and on the verge of an automatic SMV increase just by being single without kids. The Cock Carousel riders will be actively searching for Beta Providers, you take advantage and fuck them, dangling the potential for a relationship like a carrot to a rabbit. Just workout and be patient and the plates will come.

mordanus · 2014-08-20T03:19:38+00:00

It isn't about making the cut into being an alpha. It is about making yourself into the best version of you that you can be. You are going to have certain limitations that you can't fix so you are going to have to compensate for them in other ways.

Do not settle for mediocrity in yourself. Push yourself to be better. If you don't have enough money then figure out how to do better. If you aren't physically attractive then figure out what you can do better. Your choices are not so limited. Do not tolerate beta bucks unless you want to be a miserable piece of crap that is just so grateful that your wife decided to let you sleep in her bed. No touching but at least you didn't have to sleep in the garage again. No beta bux

AFPJ · 2014-08-19T21:29:14+00:00

Get away from using "RP" / "Alpha" as interchangeable with "good" & "BP" / "Beta" as interchangeable with "bad", the echo chamber of tools without mettle is big enough as is. The anthropological (real) definition of "Alpha" is leader of men; positions within male groups are assigned based on merit in relation to a particular group's mission. What are you good at? Find a group that does it, join & you'll naturally gravitate to its higher echelons, ergo acquiring status.

If you don't like your options, improve yourself or change your environment. Why the fuck does everyone here want to be "Alpha" anyways? There's more to life, centering it around the other gender is best left to women. Any society comprised mostly of people trying to get ahead by "one-upping" others, which RP's rat race to Alpha is a reflection of, will cannibalize itself. Being "Alpha" in a crumbling society won't save your children, move to a different country.

A place that properly values/rewards you (a "Beta", if you will - this isn't a bad thing) makes your problems vanish.

aresta · 2014-08-19T22:14:10+00:00

A couple things I suggest doing. If you haven't been lifting, get into lifting. Second, try to move up in your career the best you can, explore new opportunities, take classes online. Third, network, make new friends for your social circle, make friends at work. There are a lot of advice online and subreddits to learn how to be more effective in those areas.

Now, if we are being realistic, you won't be getting a 10/10 girl. This doesn't mean you have to settle for a desperate 35 year old single mom either. Find a girl with a good personality that is like a 6/10, not obese, average looking, doesn't have kids. I know right now this sounds impossible to find but when you expand your social circle it will be much easier.

In my highschool, majority of the guys didn't graduate college, most of them weren't good looking. However, a lot of them have found cute wives and are living a happy life. It is possible dude, and you are going to have to go outside your comfort zone.

atleastitsnotaids · 2014-08-20T00:23:20+00:00

You definitely don't want to start feeling bad for yourself. That will poison all other aspects of your life and kill your frame and your motivation to improve yourself.

You need to improve what you are able to improve, cultivate value in your life, start spinning plates and constantly try to upgrade them whenever possible. become as good in bed as is possible.

your best bet is to go balls out in maximizing social proof. If your goal is fully to sleep with and potentially date objective 9's and 10's, you're going to need to 'trick' them into believing they are missing out on something. the best way to do this is to always be seen showing other girls (and male friends) a good time. When you finally get your shot at one of them you need to be all systems go, never show hesitation or doubt, and fuck them better than they have ever been fucked.

At that point the ball will be in your court to see if you can keep her around. she may later decide you are too short or too boring and want to upgrade to someone 'objectively' better than you (I.e. taller, wealthier). It will be up to you if you let this crush you, or if you bounce back.

This is all formulaic 'red pill' advice. My personal advice to you is that you should stop giving so much of a fuck about women. Unless you are planning on getting married and starting a family, I don't see what there is about women that has you so bent out of shape. I'm assuming you are just looking to fuck them. It is fun and confidence boosting to fuck the best looking girl around, but when you really step back and look at it, how much more fun is it to fuck a 10 than a 7. It may sound vaginal of me, but sometimes the best looking chicks aren't the most fun in bed. And even if you are looking to marry and have kids, you should be much more focused on finding a suitable partner and mother than just a hot piece of ass. When you stop caring so much about women and start focusing on just building a fun and rewarding life for yourself, taking the opportunities that come, fucking when you can and shaking it off when you can't, you'll notice that you aren't chasing so much as filtering out women as they come to you. this will give you the abundance mentality and remove your rejection aversion, and this will unconsciously make you much more attractive to women.

Tl/Dr just stop caring, it's not helping

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T00:01:01+00:00

I have a buddy of mine who is short, a little over weight and definitely older. However he thinks he's a mob boss. He carries this air of authority and power, and it's palpable.

What comes out of you is a well-spring of your inner thoughts and "heart", if you want. If you can truly believe you're a powerful person who deserves respect, you will find that this attitude will leak into your reality.

Bolshevik-Slayer · 2014-08-20T01:20:39+00:00

Alpha material is about attitude, not about how tall you are or about how much money you earn. I learned this at an early age.

For example, I used to reel in girls during high school, after my freshman year when I learned how to grow some balls. However, if you looked at me, you would have considered me the last person to hook-up with girls. I had one of the worse cases of acne. It was to the point where sometimes I would kiss a girl and my lip zit would get in the way and bleed. I had a super-nasally voice which some of my friends made fun of me. I was skinny as a rail and could hardly do a pull-up (but I was one heck of a soccer of player).

Girls were not fawning over me at first nor throwing themselves at me, like they did with more developed and hotter males. I was rejected numerous times, but I never let that rejection turn me into a beta. I developed a no shame policy and kept trying.

I forgot if I was a sophomore or a junior, but I remember working with one of the hottest senior girls at the local supermarket. Guys loved her and she dated the most popular guy for awhile. She hardly knew me.

One day came where my parents were going to be away for a little a bit and I was going throw a little party. I decided to invite her. When I say I decided to "invite", I decided to hold a conversation with her while I about to piss myself in sheer nervousness and surprisingly, she said that she would come and gave me her number. I called her, had a nice chat with her, but she never showed up even though she lived about a half a mile away.

The fact that she didn't come did not matter. The fact that I was brave enough to ask her, get her number, and have a conversation did.

I developed a no shame policy while becoming a confident motherfucker with full blown acne, a nasally voice, and a skinny body.

I become so brave that I would start hitting on girls with boyfriends, especially this one beautiful red-haired with a 6'6" boyfriend. I could never get her to leave him, but I enjoyed flirting with her, and her with me.

The sad part, is that her boyfriend knew about it. I was blatantly calling her to the point that she would put him on hold while talking to me.

It wasn't until he had a enough, pinned me against a locker and threated physical violence that I laid off. After all, he could kill me.

I notice something. As I attracted more girls, it just amplified. It is the initial stage that is the most difficult.

Later on, I got fucked up by a girl during college, which took me a few years to recover. However, one of my best friends was shorter than me and less good looking, but he reeled in the girls. He had the right attitude.

One of the beauties of being a male is that attitude and personality go a lot further than pure physical beauty.

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T10:47:36+00:00

I see 3 options here work harder work smarter or settle and honestly work smarter in many cases is akin to settling.

Harder means try harder like Treat it like survival depends on that shit hard, pull no punches with yourself or those you need to do something for you.

Smarter means getting crafty if your current situation is suck find something else you can do and make more money at you work for ~50K per year at a distribution center? Go to the community college and get some certifications in welding and make 20k more per year easy, with better job security, save that 20k and every two years buy a new cheap rental property, learn to manage them don't pick a bad neighborhood just for a better deal. You may not make 6 figures today but by 40 you will no problem plus inflation and that is attractive to most women also the power she feels you have as landlord. there are other options just don't settle for the daily grind, get inventive, learn a second skill try making money on a hobby don't just put all your eggs in one career basket. Consider revising your definition of success so that you can be happier. Honestly I could bag a hot chick at a 9 maybe a 10 but sorting through the few that would go for me is harder than picking a 7 that has a better personality and respects me more I don't want to waste time chasing unicorns and empty headed butterflies.

Settling: I'd settle for lower looks if she's meets what I'm willing to go for. I'm not saying settle low don't settle below a five ever unless you are a 2 and by 2 I mean disfigured in the face. I want a 9 or a 10 with black hair, blue eye's and pale white skin with full red lips and no more than 5"3' and that's real fucking specific maybe I should let in 8s and 7s it's hard for a commonly considered average or ugly girl to look bad to me if she's got most of those features, Big ears? don't care. Bad teeth I'll pay for braces. iMaybe I'll accept blonds and even different ethnicities because I'm being to specific I like Asians, maybe I'll learn some Japanese, teach English there for a while and move back here or Europe to teach Japanese.

You can do stuff to change your SMV even if you are a balding 29 yearold amputee it's just going to take effort and you might be better suited to get LTR pussy than Player poon.

First comes physical attraction (Do you see guys in worse shape than you in porn for couples and women? No? Try harder.) Second is social attraction (How you dress, speak, act and how you are known.) Third is provisioning attraction (money/wealth) Fourth is parenting/responsibility attraction (Doesn't get women in the door but will draw them into a sustained orbit if they think you are a sure bet.)

We can all do more in those categories. You might not get taller but you can increase your value in different ways, start by wearing lifts and then graduate to owning something that makes women think you are powerful.

You are not shorter than this guy:

Peter Dinklage

And he seems really alpha to me.

Yes, he's an actor, playing an alpha role. It's not much different to play an alpha role and to live one.

mbillion · 2014-08-20T18:20:16+00:00

Play the cards you are dealt. Not having money is something you can fix, not fixing that is just making an excuse to stay in your current role

Invalidity · 2014-08-19T22:13:54+00:00

You were dealt the hand that you were dealt.

Let's list out factors which affect your SMV: 1) Are you short or tall? 2) Are you white? 3) Do you make or have a lot of money? 4) Are you famous? 5) Are you submissive or dominant?

Of all the things I listed, only 2 of them cannot be changed. The other 3 you can work on, maybe being famous seems like a long shot. But in general, there's still plenty you can work on, on yourself.

If you want a fox instead of a whale, you've got to work to become a fox yourself. One good start is to get into a gym and start working out. While you're doing that, work on developing a good career. With personality and character, you'll have to break out of your mold and work towards being dominant.

This post is the equivalent of buying an estabon guitar, letting it collect dust and asking a musician message board what you should do since you can't play like hendrix yet.

AdmiralVonJackass · 2014-08-20T01:45:29+00:00

There is a different story about life. One that nobody ever tells. It starts off the same; young boy has dreams, pursues them without end. Something is different than the stories though. You can't play the notes fluently. You can't hit the ball that hard. You can't make sense of this math. In short, you are mediocre. You can choose to keep floundering at your craft, driving yourself mad with inadequacy. Maybe one day you can teach children or old people about it at an evening class, just to watch them surpass your best efforts in weeks due to natural talent. And as you watch them make the choice to walk away, you can choose to be baffled, or recognize their wisdom.

You are either great, or you're not. Walking away when you are a resounding failure is not quitting anything that was adding value to your life, but rather creating an opportunity to find peace.

Commit yourself to your projects, and put forward your best work, but do not enslave your mind to their outcome. Life is bigger than a single pursuit, especially that of the vaginal approval of an "HB 9"

Some of the most alpha muythafuckahs i would not lay a finger on are short.

i have this sergent at my unit (can never get hte spelling right but fuck it). he's fucking 5'4 or something but he's JACKED... even though im taller than him when i look at him i feel small. he's just a BAMF dude. dont let shortness get the better of u thats the whole point

I can't fuck good because I'm 25 and need hip replacement (next month or so). Never learned how to fuck, only good sex I've had was 3 drunks girls riding my dick. All I can think about is fucking a girl so hard she falls into a coma. I'm not bad looking, I'm confident and have that zest or charm whatever but since I stopped drinking I'm not sure how to proceed. Buy sex toys.. Or a swing? There are some seriously hot girls interested in me, but I'm purposely not escalating because I'll end up ruining any future chance, or a bad reputation.

ogrethebuffoon · 2014-08-20T04:27:42+00:00

You say you don't have a lot of money as if that's a chronic disease you can't get rid of. Work on that and you'll feel like much more of an alpha. Invest in yourself and learn how to create more income with your own businesses.

And lift.

cowboysfan3000 · 2014-08-20T05:12:29+00:00

Single father. Broke AF. No job atm. Not great looking . I have a big scar on my face.i do workout everyday. I am cool with my body. I'm 30 im very optimistic about my future. I don't expect to ever pull nines. I'm okay with that. I'm happy if I'm pulling 6 or 7s which is what I've always pulled I just don't want to be that vulnerable sucker.

example. I started playing pickup ball in my early teens . I was horrible, I didn't even know how to do a basic layup. I'm still bad but I've easily played thousands of hours of basketball and have improved so much. I can do stuff I never thought I could when I first started. So while I still have a "league" and have to play within that league I've improved 10x.

.for me learning all this is good. Now its just putting in the work. Attitude.

Overkillengine · 2014-08-20T11:39:41+00:00

The real question:

Are you going to use it as an excuse to do nothing of worth, or are you going to use it as motivation to better yourself?

manslutalt · 2014-08-20T12:30:27+00:00

So what are my options? Beta-Bucks? MGTOW? Eastern bride?

None of these seem too pleasing.

Dude, have you tried them Eastern girls? I find them very pleasing.

But to answer your question: Do your best. Push yourself every day. If some days you fall down, get up the next day and continue climbing. Improve your SMV, any improvement is better than none. Improve your flirting skills. Again, any improvement is better than none. Stop doubting yourself and keep improving yourself. You will not become perfect, but you will be good enough.

adrixshadow · 2014-08-20T12:58:28+00:00

You don't need money to get sex.

You just need aggressiveness and lots and lots and lots of rejections under your belt.

That said nobody can tell you what to do with your life, whether its to improve yourself or pursue pussy or whatever it is your decision.

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T13:14:50+00:00

Woah dude wait a second. There is one stupid idea here that having wealth and looks is required to be alpha.

I know guys probably shorter then you and with less money, and they are Alpha. It is about being you and keeping your frame. Having yourself and your personality. Goals. I met number of short guys who were alpha.

Strong men is strong men. You have so many examples.

Other, you are in 20s, you still can achieve anything. My friends dad was truck driver until 41, then he decided to become neuro scientist and did so.

Only thing you can not have now is some gold digger

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T13:25:11+00:00

Being short is good because when you act alpha your showing your physical self is not a barrier to who you really want to be. You dont need alot of money. Theres a top post atm about the seven deadly sins of beta. Greed is one of them. As long as you have enough to keep you fulfilling a healthy and enriching lifestyle thats fine. Everyone has the potential. Never idolize someone to an extent where you think you cant reach their level. you CAN do it.

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T13:40:08+00:00

Your options is to man up dude. You really think that every alpha man you know was born into perfect conditions?

I think most of them was worse then you. We call that shit life. And you are about to give up? My balls hurt reading this.

You should travel the world a litlle bit. And see how young male today is living. Unemployment rates are big everywhere, lot of guys miss a lot because not enough money. Whole fucking generation is working in service. Our generation is fucked up with poverty. There is upper class and poor. It is no wonder that so many guys are fucked up today. But I know so many of them who are changing things.

Take my story, if you see this. I was born in poor country in transition from eastern europe. Holes in education and CV ensured that I can work just shitty jobs. I had a choice to stay in my country or to change something. I took my bag and camed to Germany. Dude, first 8 months I was sleeping on the floor. I was working 11 hours a day. I did not know German. I remember a month where they shut my power off. I do not see this as low points. It is life. Forward two years, I am good. 5 years, I will be better. But even when I had tough immigrant life, I was improving, reading, and chasing girls. I did not lose a fucking hope once. ONCE.

While I was living poor and fucked up, u know what I did? Learned a language, earned black belt in martial art, and having ton of sex. There is no excuse for being fucked up

Now I am earning quite a lot, but still shitty jobs. I speak three languages, have network all over the world, and I am educating myself for personal coach.

You are so young, and still can do whatever you want to do. Not to mention you are from America, I believe you guys have much more chances then rest of us do

It is up to you son

CruiseCruise · 2014-08-20T16:03:20+00:00

A lot of guys convince themselves they are somehow just inherently not worthy or essentially different from other guys and dont have what it takes to live well for themselves.

It's lazy. It's stupid. It's fucking cruel.

Focus on reality and on doing good for yourself.

And focus on where you can improve. and do that. It's enough.

This shit isn't about becoming a fantasy or a superman. (Yes, yes, i know, some guys on this sub are in a dream world. Okay so what? That's how it is everywhere, you dont need to let them define reality for you)

The whole point is enjoying being a man. Which is what you already are. You're already a man, just do that well and enjoy it. There's nothing unattainable about it.

Whatever the fuck happens with your life it's your problem.

Here are some points:

1) Are you doing the self improvements that ARE possible?

Build muscle, cool hobbies, dress well, etc.

2) You're missing the point about how to get women. Watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pStv5PyANyI

Then, after you watch it: Shut the fuck up. And watch it again. Then go do the shit he says and see what happens. and then watch it some more and get better at it.

This shit aint calculus.

[deleted] · 2014-08-20T18:18:42+00:00

Do what you want man, as long as you have no ragrets later. There are no short cuts in your goals in life. I'm short as well, I work my ass off daily to be the most all around man I can be. One could take the easy way out and just settle. Fuck that, I want to die knowing I did everything I could to live a fulling life.

In the end, there's no gauge of how alpha you are. I think being alpha is being comfortable being a man and with yourself. And other people will recognize that. Men and women. You'll know gauging on the respect and hate you get.

Set some attainable goals, you sound very unsure of yourself as though you don't know what you're doing with your life. Create a sense of direction in your life. Start improving your life instead of questioning it.

cooltrip · 2014-08-20T18:28:38+00:00

Sometimes taking things to an imaginary extreme situation can help you reason more clearly or easily. For instance, imagine you were born with some terrible physical deformity, like five arms or so, that lets you know you won't succeed in sex and you are not an alpha. What should you do then?

Well, my general advice would be: don't blame women for your own non-alphaness, and don't blame women for not accepting your unacceptable non-alphaness; BUT don't let women treat you bad, and don't be nice or kind to women who are mean to you and who treat you bad; be nice and kind only to women who are nice and kind to you, and who deserve your kindness. In general: don't blame women for things that aren't their responsibility; blame them just for things they're actually responsible for. Also, don't gift infinite kindness to a woman that gifts you just a little kindness; keep the correlations.

shutayooface · 2014-08-20T18:32:15+00:00

Who's more alpha?

The 6'2" good looking guy who marries a 9/10 ex-slut (his "soulmate") who then cheats on and divorce rapes him?

Or... The dumpy 5'4" guy who never pulls higher than a 6/10, but spins them as plates and dumps them when they get to be a pain?

Darft · 2014-08-20T19:28:16+00:00

What the hell? Just be the best you can be. Sure, there are a million types of "alpha" stereotypes that you will never be able to realize. It's probably too late for you to be a pro boxer, a billionaire, or any number of things.

Yes, since alpha is defined as being on top of the sexual and social pyramid in a society, you may never be alpha in the sense that you are in that elite %. So what's left?

You can still get a high quality woman who is reasonably attractive, will raise good kids under your leadership, and will remain faithful (as long as you maintain your upwards trajectory in life). You can still make a lot of money and if you want, be the guy who's 40 and stunting in the club, snapping up young girls who get wet for a guy in a nice car. You can still reach a position of power within your industry - not saying it will happen, but it could if you really committed to it.

You cannot likely get full sexual abundance like a high SMV celebrity, but you can get sexual options, plates, ONSs, LTRs. You can still behave in anyway you want - you can behave as alpha as the top 1% males even if you are not in that category. You may not be Elon Musk or George Clooney or whoever your idea of an "alpha male" is, but you share 99% of their DNA. You can behave as high value as you want.

Women are attracted to perceived status. Mark Manson puts that as how you treat others and how you treat yourself. I don't know about the others but I can tell you obviously treat yourself like shit.

50 cent. One ugly dude. But he exudes primal masculinity and confidence rarely seen today. He is also practically hardcore TRP. He was homeless, noodle thin and the laughing stock of the hip hop community in his earlier mixed tape years.

He changed all that, he will never be Densel Washinton in the looks department, but he doesn't have to be. He wets panties with a mere glance. He has made tons of money but that's not what attracts women to him, its his pure alpha masculinity.

I'm short too. I have always been alpha, although I didn't realize it for a while. I have always had principles, always stopped before being too beta. On the other hand, I wasn't comfortable acting in the way that is natural for me.

Once I became aware of this inner alpha and started acting accordingly, things went well for me. With women too.

There's nothing there you can't do. Therefore the premise of your question is faulty. It's not about muscles or height.

Nothing wrong with Eastern brides though. And giving the woman false comfort by appearing beta-bucks is sometimes useful, a good strategy. Alpha is using your head, and more action than talking. Alpha is knowing the woman's tendencies and using that to get what you want. Beta is getting into a big discussion / shaming session with her, because it gives away your power.

The wife of an alpha will look back on their long and eventful marriage, in which she probably tried to get free a few times but couldn't, and realize that the guy was in charge and steering the ship.

Brother, stop being so binary. There IS not "Alpha" or "Beta" or whatever or rather, EVERYBODY is a bit of each.

I've got a number of things going against me. I'm quite short, like on par with average females. I don't have a lot of money either and I'm in my late 20's. I'm compensating but sometimes there's only so much you can do.

Except for the height issue- which is probably the source of most of your issues- money and late 20's is pure hamster-logic. Search TRP for the many threads on this issue. There are ways to compensate.

This is true for other negative features as well but why are you worried about that? Work on your POSITIVE features and build yourself up.

I get that not everybody can be the apex Alpha but EVERYBODY can move up the chain. Your goal isn't to be King Solomon but to be better than you are now. If anything would be an improvement then you should be able to change things rather quickly. Will you get eye raped by scores of hot women every day? I would guess not. Will you have the life that you deserve? That I can almost promise.

If you have any semblance of self-respect, MGTOW.

You should not care about women when it comes to your own status, and long-term happiness.

Leave women out of your decision-making, and think about what you can do to improve your potential career opportunities. You have a great career ahead of you as you said, and depending on your age and lack of financial resources, I'm assuming you're in medicine.

Besides, "alpha" is only what is attractive to women. That's right. "alpha" is a term for pussy-whipped men that serve women's needs, and is something many red-pillers need to think about. Why exactly does the dominating man make her pussy so wet? Because he can intimidate/initiate violence against other men that threaten her safety and power. It's all hard-wired biology, and you may find 1 or 2 exceptions in a group of 500. True alphas are the men that sit on their ivory towers and influence the masses of blue-pill men and women below them. True alphas are invisible, and we don't actually know who they are, because true power is invisible (Sun Tzu).

But seriously, the only thing women are attracted to is the amount of resources a man can provide, and assuming your career is great (medicine), then you could definitely attract a large pool of women between the ages of 18 and 25. Your looks only add to this, and can be improved on with physical exercise.

However, I think you really need to question yourself:

"What does Alpha mean to me?"
"Why do I want to attract women?"
"Is there any legitimate value to sex, apart from pleasure?"
"How do I achieve long-term happiness?"
"How must I quell my innate male loneliness if women are not the answer?"
"Why do I invest so much time and energy into the act of sex?"

These will lead you down an infinitely deep rabbit hole, and eventually drift you towards the study of philosophy.

This man was a sickly, short, asthmatic child. He grew into one of histories greatest badasses.

Its just a matter of drive.

all hail our lords and masters the automoderator!
