Alpha Male Role Models

Problem is, alphas probably don’t want to hang with you because they’re busy killing it at life.

However, you can start by getting to know some of the bigger dudes at the gym or in general. Get to know dudes that hang out in your social circle or places you frequent.

The more connections you can make the higher your chances of finding someone you’re looking for.

Alphas don't emulate.

Don't put posters of other men up, hang a big mirror instead.

Let's take an example of the classic Alpha, James Bond. He is Alpha because he is capable. He is capable in his job and in his everyday life. Some of his capabilities include: Hand to hand combat, physical strength, marksmanship, stunt driving, fashion and grooming, scuba diving, poker, general social skills, pick up, dancing etc, etc, etc. He is an expert in all of these things because he learned these skills by practicing them. That's the part they don't show you in the movies. You have to develop job skills, social skills and everyday useful capacity through study, repetition and practice. Once you develop this you are accomplished, confident, capable and ....charismatic. (please note: these are all skills used in and developed in the real world. Not online skills. Being able to play video games is not a useful skill.) If you are accomplished, confident, capable and charismatic in life situations,... bingo, bango...ALPHA.

So now we answer the question...what skills should I acquire to make me Alpha? What should I do? - It doesn't matter what you do, just DO something. Acquire job/career skills, acquire physical skills, acquire social skills. Then improve on these skills. Never stop improving. Never stop striving. We are each different. Our abilities and interests are different. Just start doing/learning. Do lots of it, never stop.

But how do I start? Usually young men acquire job/career skills through education, then first job, then learn on the job, then get promoted etc. Physical skills are generally acquire through childhood sports participation to lifting in the gym to hobbies etc. Social skills acquired through friendships throughout your life, participating in sports and clubs and activities.

One final thought. In your post you mention your feelings three times. Feelings are for girls. Doing is for men. Start doing.

Alpha is a variable term and I don't think it means much. This sub constantly prattles on about dudes lifting but most of the dudes I've met who are ONLY obsessed with lifting are about as interesting to speak with as a granite countertop. They're uninteresting shitbags. Maybe they can pull, but they don't actually have anything to bring to the table. I'd rather pull and also be interesting, which means making my life about more than lifting.

I think the real alpha males are dudes who aren't disgusting and say/do exactly whatever the fuck they want. Bill Burr and Chris D'Elia are the closest I can think of when considering men in the current zeitgeist. A lot of stand up comedians are what I consider actual alphas -- they do and say what they want and lead actively interesting lives.

If you want some older examples, Steinbeck was an alpha male, although I think most on this sub would disagree. But he was a novelist, a war correspondent, a marine biologist, an ecologist, a world traveler and smart/funny as fuck -- what else is there?

Jocko willink, look no further. Stay away from these philosophers trying to break down what the word means yadada.

I’m on this same path, op. The only advice I can give you is ignore Hollywood alphas and look at guys who are alpha in real life. Mike Tyson, Don Frye, Conor MacGregor, etc.

The other thing is, we ain’t gonna learn anything just by watching them.

I installed a spotlight above my sink in my bathroom, the downlighting is on point. Then, I turn off all the other lights in my room/bathroom, and I strip down to my Tommy Johns. Quickly, I drop and do a few dozen pushups and pullups, then I brush my teeth slowly in front of a very clean mirror, alternating which arm is curling the toothbrush into my gullet and which is palm-on-the-sink's-edge: looking at my capped delts, bulging traps, ripped pectorals, and bulging triceps... then I repeat: I'd fuck you.... I'd fuck you...

Sorry what was the question?

For me, Tupac Shakur. That dude was the epitome of the alpha male.

The best advice is this: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

If you were thrown into a third world country, you wouldnt ask this. You would man up because your survival requires it. You wouldnt have the luxury of comfort because you wouldnt survive.

Think about it

How much can you bench? What's your squat and deadlift?

An alpha male is the man that has sex with lots of women, and is desired by those women longterm. That's what defines alphaness, and nothing else.

The problem with your approach is that you cannot check or verify that a purported man is alpha.

Lots of people write books about fictitious alphas, which are entirely taken from their own sets of beliefs, ideologies, blue pills and wishful thinking.

You have to do what many PUA did at the start: observe alphas on the street, and befriend them. Alphas are the ones surrounded by women, picking women all the time.
