Passive aggressive behavior is not even close to being alpha. Women and manginas are passive aggressive. Don't be like that if your goal is to be alpha.

[–]redpill-hardmode7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Caring. That's it!

Pa assholes do it to elicit a reaction. They care.

Alphas do it because they are selfish. They don't care about getting a reaction.

Passive aggression is faggyness. It's the opposite of masculine.

Alphas are direct, assertive, and even aggressive-when they need to be. They do this when setting boundaries as to how they like to be treated when someone attempts to "step on them" and when voicing their intentions.

Being passive aggressive is cowardice, if you want to sum it up in a word. An example would be if someone asked you to do something you didn't want to do, say yes, but not do it. An alpha male would just tell them no. Another one would be talking shit behind their back (most people, including myself, are guilty of doing this. Do your best to not do this).

Those are a few examples. There is a link on Purearchy regarding what it means to be alpha. I'll get the link.

Edit: Here it is: http://puerarchy.com/2013/11/04/being-alpha-doesnt-necessarily-mean-being-popular/. It isn't necessarily about passive-agressiveness, but it will give you a better idea of what it means to be alpha.

Q: What's the difference between being alpha and being a just a passive aggressive asshole?

A: SMV.

Leadership. Passive aggressive assholes will never be a good captain.

The passive aggressive asshole is the only nigger that would answer that question.

[–]1cray-cray-cray-3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Never fails... y'all are always so racist, that a nigger can't say nigger without a bunch white knights deciding they're offended by the word. Get used to it, pussies. The world will keep quoting movies and keep saying words that offend you.
