Tyler Durden - 10 Alpha Behaviours - For Breakbeat Important)

Topic:10 Alpha behaviours - for breakbeat (important) (1 of 36), Read 1135 times Conf:>> Advanced From:TylerDurden [email protected] Date:Monday, April 07, 2003 04:30 AM psychobabble just reminded me about something I wanted to post about. When I first came onto the board, breakbeat IM'ed me to ask if I had any insights onto what an alphamale really was, and what characteristics/attributes/qualities they had. I kept my eyes open for a long time, and compiled a mental list. I've been meaning to post this for a while. I think that this is really important, and I hope that people will read all of this. This post is about to get messy I think... confusing, etc. Alright, for me, as I've gotten good at PU, I've finally started to notice discrepancies between myself and NATURAL players. It's funny, because even though I can outgame any natural in terms of results, I often feel like I'm trying too hard. Like, even though I can outgame them, they can have a nice chill night and just be comfortable and secure, while my mind is racing a million miles a minute. Of course this is because I LOVE the game, and because I play it for the purpose of stimulating myself intellectually (once you get very experienced, your mind buzzes with info-processing while you're doing PU, as you rapidly compare past experience and game-theory that you've read, to events at hand.. This is why I play the PU game so much, and it is a similar reason to why I enjoy my philosophy curriculum at school). Still though, I've studied alpha behavior very carefully now, and I've noticed some characteristics, which you guys may or may not agree with. Here they are off the top of my head: ALPHAMALE CHARACTERISTICS: 1) NEVER QUALIFYING THEMSELVES. "Qualify" meaning that they never brag or even REMOTELY explain things... they don't say "I'm tired right now", or "I'm really hung over", or "My good clothes are at home", or "I used to be able to lift that weight, but I haven't been in the gym for a while.", or "I could do that, but I'm having a bad day." Similarly, they don't talk excessively about all the chicks they've laid, or all their girlfriends, or all their success. WHY? Because they don't even GIVE A FUCK enough about you to even tell you about it. They ASSUME that you'll think that they're the shit, because they ARE. TALKING ALOT / TOO MUCH IS VERY OFTEN INTERPRETED AS QUALIFYING YOURSELF.

2) NOT LOOKING AROUND. Think CLINT EASTWOOD. He hears a big bang or loud noise, and he SLOWLY turns to look at it. He doesn't let ANYBODY disturb him. He's in his own reality. I can remember walking into a class late one day, and not looking at the teacher WHATSOEVER. The girls started giggling, as I looked totally unconcerned at what anyone thought, and they started hitting on me after class. I mean I can hardly convey this over the net... The reaction was RIDICULOUS. 3) TALK SLOW. Think to when you are chatting some authority figure, or somebody who you admire. If you're like me, you'll increase your speech DRAMATICALLY. It's very obvious, and I've seen guys who are alpha start talking abnormally fast when confronted with guys who are MORE alpha. Talking fast is a way of QUALIFYING yourself to someone, because you are WORRIED that they'll stop listening to you and that you won't get out what you have to say. 4) BEING THE ANCHOUR OF THE CONVERSATION. Notice that when an obviously alpha guy is present, everyone faces their body language towards him. If you crack a joke, people wait for the alphamale to laugh as a sort of "approval" of the joke. He laughs, and then everyone follows. Also, an alphamale can crack a DUMB joke, but notice that everyone laughs. It's a laugh of SUBMISSION in many ways, as when I'm sarging girls they always giggle non-stop... (a lot of PUAs I've met will say "dude, you make girls giggle like nobody else.. this is ridiculous".. This is only something that I learned as I practiced ASF stuff, and it never used to happen. Notice that chicks LAUGH HYSTERICALLY when you call them "geeks/dorks/power puff girls"... Or they laugh when you say that if they're not rich you'll break up with them. Guys, this stuff is NOT FUNNY. But they laugh like its the funniest thing they've ever heard. Why? IMO, its because its a laugh of submission. These C&F remarks set you as ALPHA, and they giggle to submit. This is called going "girly-girl", and the ugly chicks always bash the hotties for giggling at the captain of the football team's lame jokes.. "see how she laughs at all his dumb jokes.. its so pathetic!" (even though they WISH that THEY were the ones who the cool-guy would be chatting up).. 4b) USURPING THE GLORY. Alphas seem to take ANYTHING that challenges their alpha status in the room and USURP it for themselves. This is a variation of being the ANCHOUR of the convo.

Basically, if you're not the alpha, and you say something cool, the alphamale might do something like "YEAH THAT IS THE SHIT... YOU COULD EVEN DO X,Y,Z...." Somehow, YOUR cool idea has become THEIR cool idea, and they've usurped the credit for your idea. 5) NEVER BEING IMPRESSED. There's this one dude, who whenever I hang out at his house (university frathouse type deal, with lots of guys living there), there will always be this little "alpha-subtext" deal going on. Like, I'll be showing the dudes there something, and I'll have ALL the attention. But will HE come over and act impressed? NOPE. He'll just go do his own thing, or just sit there eating his ravioli, unimpressed with me, in his own reality. The ONLY time he'll pay attention to what I'm doing is if its a case like 4b, where he'll usurp it for himself. Otherwise, he's NEVER interested. 6) ONLY HAVING RAPPORT WITH BETAS, EXCEPT FOR A FEW EXCEPTIONS. I've noticed that I can't get along with alphamales as well as I used to be able to. It's like a conflict in the room, where the heirarchical status is totally out of order. Alphas will often hate eachother, except that when they DO make friends, they are BEST FRIENDS. Or, they can co-exist, but have this sort of weird way of talking. Like they'll say things to eachother in ways that don't qualify themselves, so its sort of like a weird broken conversation. I dunno how to describe this, but I'm sure you've all seen it. Anyway, they get along with everyone, since everyone is on their knob. But as soon as someone who tries to "take over" the alpha status comes along, he's ridiculed for whatever reason they see fit.

7) ANSWERING QUESTIONS WITH DEGRADING JIBBERISH. I've noticed that alphas will also have tendencies to take any question that you may have posed in attempt to get rapport with them, and answer it with some stupid non-sensical bullshit. This goes back to why I say "don't ask girls questions.. just make statements until they try to get rapport with YOU.. 'what's your name', etc etc" Say that you come across an alphamale, and you want to try to get rapport with him. Maybe you'll ask him some basic questions or something.

But he'll answer with stupid shit like "guess", or "I work at taco bell.. I'm the employee of the month".. SOUND FAMILIAR? :) Also, they have a tendency to take what you asked and TWIST it around to ridicule you. 8) ALPHAMALES DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. Have you ever been onto a campus where there are cliques everywhere. Go look at the clique of rich jewish kids. (many of my closest friends are in these, so no stupid racist bullshit comments) They don't give a fuck about you. You can be the centre of attention, life of the party, whatever.. It doesn't matter, they're in their corner with a few hotties, minding their own business, and they're NOT gonna come out to see what cool shit is going on with you. Now you'd THINK that this would make them BETA, but there's just something ABOUT them that makes it seem cool. Their disinterest puts them up above you, and if they DO come over, they come over like you're their "CLOWN" whose purpose is to ENTERTAIN THEM. It's all about THEM, not YOU. Again, "USURPING THE GLORY". 9) ALPHAMALES GET MORE CREDIT FOR MINOR ACTS OF KINDNESS THAN BETAS DO. When I was in NYC with Papa and Mys, we stayed at the house of this guy named "Garvellous" (NYC Lair top guy). He was a really cool guy, and he'd been laid around 40 times in college before he'd even FOUND ASF. He'd been in a frat, and he told me about something that the frathouse would intentionally do to new pledges when they'd apply. According to Garvellous, they were told to appear UNAPPROACHABLE and CLIQUISH initially. THEN, they were to be REALLY DOWN TO EARTH. What he explained was that if you APPEAR to be cliquish and unapproachable, that when you turned out to be actually down to earth, people would say "this guy is the NICEST/COOLEST guy.." As opposed to a librarian or a geek being nice, which NOBODY appreciates because they interpret it as COMPENSATING for short-comings. Just think: Imagine if you were to bump into Jay-Z or Dr. Dre or Michael Jordan, and they had a big entourage. The celeb in question comes up to you and says "what's up.. having a good time dude? cool.. yeah this place is pretty busy you know, and it can be kinda intimidating.. but you know, I just try to have a good time.. anyway, have a good night man.." You'd be like HOLY SHIT THAT GUY IS THE COOLEST/NICEST GUY I'VE EVER MET... You'd tell EVERYBODY about how cool and down to earth the celeb is, and you'd be really appreciative and impressed.

Now take the SAME REMARK from a geek or whatever, and you wouldn't give it a second thought... Whatever, its just some geek. In clubs, the "unapproachable" guys are the dudes who wear sunglasses into the club, and have superfly clothes and a corner with hot girls. Notice that if one of THOSE guys approaches your set in a club, you will NEVER snub him. The two-man cockfarm of generically dressed guys on the other hand, its a different story. 10) ULTIMATE COMFORT IN OWN SKIN. Here is one that I find really funny. Look at rapport 50-Cent, or any stereotypical rockstar. Now your average woman will have all of these "ideals" that guys should have, but notice that these go out the window for guys like 50-Cent. 50-Cent raps about how he's going to kill and shoot people.. Fuck hoes, etc etc.. NOBODY questions this. He is 50-Cent, he's from the streets, and THAT-IS-WHO-HE-IS. NOBODY QUESTIONS IT. Similarly, a rockstar pumps massive drugs and fucks groupies all day long. He's a REBEL.. a BADBOY.. a SEX SYMBOL.. (notice the correlation, and how projecting rebel/badboy can get you laid, even though there is no LOGICAL reason for that being the case).. Even a spiritual guy who talks about inner-peace and non-violence and all that stuff will usually say "well, he's a superstar" when they're asked what they think about these types of guys.. (there are exceptions of course, and the dudes with more zeal will call out anybody). Another example is like COLLEGE ALPHA MALES who wear dumb shit like TOGAS and marker up their faces with magic marker and shit like that. Notice that everyone thinks that its COOL, just because the "cool kids" (alphas) are doing it. NOBODY questions it.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS: 1) Good topic for discussion - how to DEAL with these kinds of guys. For any of us who do clubs, these kind of guys can be DIFFICULT TO BEFRIEND, for group thoery purposes (for social proof, and of course for stealing their chicks) So how do we get good at out-alpha-ing these guys, who barely talk, and who are disinterested in getting to know you? 2) In what ways do WE on ASF EMULATE these behaviours? Some obvious ones are just making statements and not asking about them until they go for it first.

And following up "what's your name" with answers like "guess". 3) How does this CONFLICT with the fact that you NEED TO BE TALKATIVE in order to pickup. It's funny, because it could be argued that the true alpha doesn't TRY to pickup, but just goes out with his group and has girls do the work to approach HIM. It just strikes me funny that although I'm supposedly thought of as this big alpha guy on campus, that I TRY REALLY HARD compared to all the other alphas. Basically, I'm a MASSIVE try-hard when you really get down to it. I just hide it very well. So if alphamales don't talk too much, because that is QUALIFYING YOURSELF, then how do we run a good PU? One way to get over this hump is to just go and make statements, run routines, etc etc, in a way that conveys that you're just in the mood to TALK, and it has NOTHING to do with impressing them. Of course this is what David D, Gunwitch, and others are referring to when they say its 90% bodylanguage/tonality. This goes back to the ideas of 2) TALK SLOW, 3) NOT LOOKING AROUND. Also 1) NOT QUALIFYING YOURSELF is important here as well, since you JUST TALK and don't try to get rapport, or say things that could be interpreted as qualifying yourself. A GREAT way to do this is JERK ROUTINES, which are NEGS because you are saying that you don't want them, so they interpret that as NOT qualifying yourself, which makes them perceive you as alpha, which attracts them to you. Also importantly here, 8) ALPHAMALES DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU... That is conveyed by the fact that you DON'T ASK QUESTIONS to the chick. You don't ask her her name, or where she works, or ANYTHING until she starts asking YOU. IOW, I don't go for rapport with HER, until she goes for it with ME, and then I initialy TEASE her that I won't reciprocate this intention ("guess", C&F answers, etc), for the first minute, until I DO give it to her. ---OK, long post.

another connection that I just drew here with #10 was PEACOCKING.. This is similar to the dudes who wear the togas or magic markers... YOU make the clothes cool.

Topic:10 Alpha behaviours - for breakbeat (important) (3 of 36), Read 984 times Conf:>> Advanced From:TylerDurden [email protected] Date:Monday, April 07, 2003 05:08 AM OK I'm on campus, and I just went and played a game of Street Fighter... beat it on one quarter! NICE.. That reminds me of the 11th characteristic of an alphamale.. REALLY GOOD AT VIDEOGAMES.. that's really true, right guys? :( shit.. am I qualifying myself?? fuck, I'm so confused.. A FINAL THOUGHT: 4) GUNWITCH METHOD. How does this alpha behaviour stuff fit into GUNWITCH METHOD?? Is it possible that GUNWITCH tells us not to use routines or ANYTHING other than NEUTRAL TALK, because it could be interpreted by the chick as you QUALIFYING YOURSELF? Maybe that's why he finds it so hard to believe that any routines could be helpful in PU. Because he hasn't seen routines executed in such a way that you are still alpha.. He's only seen it delivered in a supplicative way. I could TOTALLY see that, given that routines ARE often delivered in such a way, by myself included on some days. Neutral talk could be projected as ALPHA, because it is SELF-SECURE and not TRY-HARD. I'm thinking that the fundamental type stuff that I've written here may auger very well with GWM, in terms of bodylanguage, and "less is more".

Yeah i find any of this as a supplication, SOMEtimes it comes off ok, then sometimes it fails, im about time efficiency myself, ANYTHING that COULD fail, i dont use. ALSO i dont feel comfortable in my own skin trying to tell her im worthy, she wants to fuck, why do i need more than a dick? Sounds like the simplest PU method, but in truth its going all the way back, all the way to the first of it, the sex, its always gotta be about the sex when it comes to a man and a woman, if not its social conditioning, non mutual attraction, real non sex based enjoyment or a waste of time. One of the 4 and youll find THE dynamic between a man and woman, stare into that abyss and youll see nothing more. "make the ho say no"

I don't know if "degrading" is the right word. I think it's more about answering with something people don't normally hear so that the conversation never gets dull, but at the same time it can't become contrived. The Rick H "I'm an ass model" is not degrading, but it works. It just has to be something that demonstrates his synapses are firing and he's not willing to be lured into dull conversation. Plus the added benefit you get the other person's synapses firing too. > I've noticed that alphas will also have tendencies to take any question that > you may have posed in attempt to get rapport with them, and answer it with some > stupid non-sensical bullshit. > > This goes back to why I say "don't ask girls questions.. just make statements > until they try to get rapport with YOU..

Plus the >added benefit >you get the other person's >synapses firing too. Should have posted this. I've recognized TWO types of alphas. #1, the type that maintains alpha status by making everyone around them BETTER. Examples: -Wayne Gretzky -Mark Messier -Winston Churchill #2, the type that maintains alpha status by putting everyone around them DOWN. Examples: -Saddam Hussein -puck hogs in hockey, who score goals but never pass -my dad -my insecure principle who would suspend people left and right, and teachers who always yell -posters on this board who criticize alot of material, but never post their own (this isn't at anyone specific since I don't have mental-energy to keep track of this stuff, but you'll see it happen from time to time with posters who pass through here) -the bully in high school ---Going back to your post.... this is a REALLY good point, and I agree completely in some ways. The 'ass model' type stuff is excellent because it APPEARS like you just thought of it right then and there, and makes you seem intelligent -> good genetics. However, I was commenting on typical traits of *natural* alphas, and wasn't NECESSARILY commenting on IDEAL traits of alphas. Rather, I was just commenting on what many natural alphas do, and that it should be RECOGNIZED. The degrading retorts fall into alpha category #2. I am still as of yet UNSURE which of these tactics I feel I should KEEP, and which I should throw away. The degrading answers is something that MANY of the "Mr. Cool Guy" types around my campus do, in a lame way to retain their alpha-status. I think its undeniable that it goes on, but that's only given what I've seen in my life experience. Either way though, I do agree with your rationale.

Hey Tyler, The idea of these flippant answers is also to convey the 'I don't give a shit' attitude. I think that's probably why Sisonpyh (from Cliff's List) recommended never giving a straight answer & coming back with flippant replies. I think this can be overdone, though, and doesn't neccessarily give the best alpha impression. IME this stuff should be used lightly to kid around with the girl during rapport-building. You look like a bit of a clown if you keep doing it nonstop in what should be normal social situations. It should only used a bigtime in a situation where you're expected to clown around a lot, like at a wild party, or in a club where everybody's feeling wired. ALSO, this is really important- guys who just read these C&F things and SAY them are going to get the same results as guys who just recite canned patterns or opening routines- they'll fall flat. These replies have to be delivered with the right body language and eye contact, for example, you might face her, pause, look deadly serious into her eyes as you say it, then raise your eyebrows and 'twinkle' your eyes at her (the flirting eye gesture, as the ethologists call it :) The 'twinkle' is a non-verbal way of saying 'just kidding'. Or you might hold the serious pose until she replies to you, letting the tension build, and using the release of the tension to improve your proximity/kino situation.

Topic:10 Alpha behaviours - for breakbeat (important) (12 of 36), Read 932 times Conf:>> Advanced From:CoolWater Date:Monday, April 07, 2003 08:49 AM I know of a guy whos very much an alpha and displays all of the alpha traits you listed, except he DOES ask questions. Infact, he asks more questions than anyone else I know, to someone he's just met. But he doesn't seem even slightly impressed with the answers. I think that this is just a bit of alphaness that he's missing, and that him not asking questions will make him seem even more alpha. He may think that when he asks questions, it helps in making him more talkative, and helps his PU. Any guy that me meets, he instantly tries to befriend, by being superfriendly, looking interested (but not impressed) in what they're saying and who they are. Several people I've spoken to about him, say that they "feel as if they're his best friend". This may just come down to good rapport building skills.

I agree with just about all of this, interesting discussion. Including that not asking many questions in a *social context* is alpha. Also for the reason Mystery states, asking is requesting value, telling is giving value. But of course if you give too much value by yacking away, you risk not being alpha.

Topic:Re: 10 Alpha behaviours - Narrow Alphaness and comparison with work (15 of 36), Read 914 times Conf:>> Advanced From:slightlycynical Date:Monday, April 07, 2003 09:27 AM Some interesting stuff here which has given me insights into a problem I've had translating "work alphaness" into "PU alphaness" The issue as I see it is that in a business context you often get Leaders (ie Alphas) + Drones (ie Betas), but ALSO sometimes an additional role of Advisor/Expert. ie someone who is respected for their opinion, analytics, intellectual input etc by both the leader + the drones. Typically an advisor will also be happy to directly confront the leader in their area of speciality as they are, in essence, "Narrow Alphas", who are the gurus on a particular area but are not challengers for outright leadership. In a work context, I'm a Narrow Alpha - I am opinionated on my field of

choice, command respect (and cash) from people wanting my advice, spend a lot of time doing presentations to paying audiences or being interviews by press/TV. But, this doesn't translate to PU very well, as (perhaps apart from a wingman) there isn't an analogous role in PUA vs Target Looking at some of your specific comments: > 1) NEVER QUALIFYING THEMSELVES. > They ASSUME that you'll think that they're the shit, because they ARE. > TALKING ALOT / TOO MUCH IS VERY OFTEN INTERPRETED AS QUALIFYING YOURSELF. ...whereas an expert is an expert precisely because their comments & opinions are articulate & inherently well-qualified ... I have historically talked too much & so I am training myself to STFU except on certain "pet" topics useful to convey value in PU (Travel is my main one). > 3) TALK SLOW. > Talking fast is a way of QUALIFYING yourself to someone, because you are > WORRIED that they'll stop listening to you and that you won't get out what you > have to say. ... again, this varies in a business context. An expert has SO MUCH to say, they deliver value by trying to communicate as much of it to "the audience" as possible. A bit like a sports commentator, I guess, which is a similar type of role, or possibly a TV News anchorman. I once took a job partly because my boss-to-be and I kept upping the pace of speech to a ridiculous speed throughout the hour-long interview. She & I mutually impressed each other, based largely around articulacy & common intuitive thought processes. Again, I'm training myself on talking more slowly. Difficult one, though. > 6) ONLY HAVING RAPPORT WITH BETAS, EXCEPT FOR A FEW EXCEPTIONS. Again, different in a "Narrow Alpha" sense. I know I can get PROFESSIONAL rapport with anyone as I speak their language & "look them in the eye" without either of us being a threat to the other. I've had drinks or meals with a number of CEOs & other honchos, where we've had total rapport & mutual understanding - sharing in-jokes, doing business etc. > 7) ANSWERING QUESTIONS WITH DEGRADING JIBBERISH. Obviously not in this context! All this is helping me to crystallise some thoughts I'd been working on. In a way, it's been really annoying to find that my Alpha work persona has been fuck-all use in PU except with a narrow-niche of "braindigging" chicks who

get swept away by articulacy and analytics. But on the other hand, I have been able to re-use certain mental states (eg confidence to talk to whoever) in adopting ASF approaches. I realised that if I can ask Bill Gates questions & not have him think I'm an arsehole, I shouldn't be worried about some HB in a bar.

Okay, well, the way I see it, your "narrow alpha" (the advisor/expert) is actually just a beta male with expertise, and thus is respected for his expertise and NOTHING ELSE. I hate to say it bro, but the narrow alpha is really just a pawn in the workplace, as people will use his advice selectively and discard whatever doesn't work. The work alpha is different from the PU alpha because they exist in different environments. While the PU alpha can defy logic and just do whatever it is he does, this technique doesn't often work in business unless you are dealing with all beta males. Also, if you're working in someone else's business, you're beta by default. How do you work your way up in a business playing the alpha male? I'm still trying to figure that out. My lack of experience in a day-to-day air-conditioned environment is probably to blame. >i have realized something >about you, tyler D, you are >50% creative and 50% competitive. >in other words, half of what you

Some thoughts: Some of these characteristics are walking a fine rope between Alpha and a$$hole. Remember the Tiger/raven thread? Tigers are respected by everyone, ravens are eventually chucked away from the group and need to find other turfs. For example, the not being impressed might better be not being TOO impressed. "Hey dood, that's kool :-)" would be ok, IMO. Totally ignoring wouldn't come of good; Neither would drooling all over. There's always an optimum. Also, you mentioned how some guys just make themselves out so alpha and wait for the women to approach them. This reminds me of a thread from a while ago. There was this Alpha male who was the head of a group and phucked most of the girls that passed thru the group. But he was only Alpha in THAT group, and by using methods which sometimes would border the raven. He was no true Tiger. Outside of his group, any ASFer could outsarge him any day, and some ASFers could even dethrone him. A true Alpha would not hesitate to act upon an AI, or even approach from scratch; People who rely too much on group dynamics to get laid are only half-Alpha, IMO. Take a rock star to a country where he's not even known, and see how good his game his. Sure, phucking 100's of chicks most of them would have developed some, and would have no trouble nexting and sarging caveman style, but some of them would probably only be half-Alpha, not true Alpha; Sarging groupies isn't PU, it's just good ole' sex.

something else, but i like you, or should i say that 50% real tyler D about you, and all that bogus bologna just plain pisses me off, and besides you ARE taking away real value from me by stealing recognition. let's take a counter example. hedge killa gave me an awesome book tip that really improved my conversation skills. i wanna help the newbies on this board, so did i go around and call myself breakbeat the newbie guru and pretended i came up with that book tip and everything else out of thin air like a deity? no way man, every single time (and that was a lot of times, and i was wondering if this was kind of stupid) i said thanks hedge in my posts. now did that take away from my perceived glory? maybe. i can make up for that, if i'm interested in glory. the real question is, how does hedge feel about that? i'm sure he feels pretty darn good and he shows me that too. you know how that makes me feel? RELAXED. no mind spinning, i just know i gotta buddy here on ASF who's not fucking me over, we just are here and provide value for each other. so you wanna stop the constant mind-race? STOP PRETENDING dude. now i know you hang with mystery who's probably really good at pretending and if you stop pretending you're probably not going to want to learn as much from him as you do now. it will shatter your relationship with him if you stop pretending. you gotta know that, and it's not pretty. now to the benefits of not pretending. now you complain about the true alphas just shooting the shit and here you are spinning and mindracing and constantly STRESSED OUT AS HELL to keep up your image. what's the trick? well, you let yourself be the image. now dude this does not mean you get out-alphaed. alpha has a lot to do with setting your priorities and creating your own world. you already know that. now try adding this: creating your own world in a way where everybody whose world mingles with your world gets benefit. this is NOT a zero sum game! this is a question of growth, more of everything for everybody. okay let's bring this back to the alpha thing. you wanna get chicks. so what you do is you throw yourself out there and be (make the mundane fascinating by expressing it in your own unique way). you show these chicks what it is you want from them. you have your conditions for taking them. you screen. but you are you, and compromising your ability to just express yourself for ANYBODY, including chicks, is just about the most beta thing you can do. it's SUPPLICATING TO THE WORLD. TRYING TO PLEASE THE WORLD. now the only way you're gonna please the world is by making the most of yourself, and i mean REALLY make the most of yourself, by BECOMING more, not only APPEARING to be more. now, you wanna do that, go ahead and do that. i'm telling you you're gonna crash. or at the very least you're never gonna get rid of the constant stress in your mind, constantly working to keep up the image. that will be your constant companion, as well as the fear to be uncovered. now nobody likes to be ignored and betaized, so what do you do? you create groups in which you alphaize each other. i can see you starting to do that right now.

now what about those "fake" chicks? well if a chick reduces her "real" self to nil and is only fake... now why the hell would i want to hang with her? she has nothing to offer me. i think her sweet body gets ugly as fuck when she's fake. i screen her. you see there are club chicks with sweet bodies who go to the place to have fun and have a life, and there are club chicks who live in the club and hope to get approval by whoever they think is the MOST ALPHA, or whatever. those chicks just don't get it. why would i want to compromise something REAL, like perhaps a possibly nice person 7, to create a fake image? dude that sucks so bad i just wanna give you a good kick to shake you back into reality. imagine it this way. you wanna be the shining guy who shines because he sucks up all the shinyness around him and leaves a trail of destruction? or do you want to be the shiny guy who shines because he knows where the shiny stuff comes from in the first place and leaves a trial of abundance behind him? dude it's your choice. i like you as a person, you have value. if you wanna be that 50% of yourself that's real, you're welcome in my life in whatever way, IM, come over to switzerland for a visit, we'll have a blast together, cause i know you're a great guy. now if you wanna be that other 50%, you can go freeze to death on the north pole. if you're gonna steal my ideas and call them your own, i have two words for you: NOT WELCOME. PISS OFF. you will have NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER in my reality, you're gonna be beta whenever you're near me cause i'm going to ignore you. why? because you do not add to my reality, you take away from it. you're a cheat. a stealing shit. a lyer. i screen people like that and you are no exception, if that's the person you wanna be. it's your choice. think about it. f.m. breakbeat -------appreciate to attract TOP | Post | Reply | Reply/Quote | Email Reply | Delete | Edit Previous | Next | Previous Topic | Next Topic | Entire Topic

This one I have to agree with more so than anything else that I agree with. It's true. Alphas are confident, outstanding, and bold, all traits that people envy, so when they receive a kind act from an alpha they feel a little higher than they were before, depending on where they are on the Beta-----Alpha scale.

Topic:10 Alpha behaviours - for breakbeat (important) (21 of 36), Read 732 times Conf:>> Advanced From:Pap [email protected] Date:Tuesday, April 08, 2003 12:11 AM There are many characteristics of an alpha-male, however, here are the FIVE most talked about by Mystery: 1. HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR Show that you don't everything seriously...that you can laugh at the funny things in life. Be the guy who is able to make boring things and mundane situations into playful and enjoyable ones. Laugh! When you are having a good time, laughing, and having fun, others will feel it. 2. BE WELL-GROOMED Shave well. Make sure you look sharp (unless you are going for a grungy-rockstar-biker look). Keep good hygiene. Be a guy that people look at because you are well-dressed, stylish, and people look at you and know you take good care of yourself. 3. BE OUTGOING Demonstrate that you have an outgoing personality, a passion for life (and the fabulous things in it). If you have a sense of adventure and enthusiasm for a certain somthing, you go for it. You are successful, ambitious, and take what you want. You are always in control. 4. ESTABLISH A CONNECTION You establish a genuine connection and rapport with the people you talk to. Be a good-listener and establish common grounds with people you talk to. You are not egotistical or arrogant. You connect with people on their level and are genuinely interested in people. 5. SMILE When you smile and are having a good time, the energy you put out will be shared by others around you. Do NOT fake a smile, but when you are enjoying yourself, smile! Smiling is contagious. People feel good when they know they are around other people having a good time with them.

My personal opinion on alphaness is very simple and extremely effective. 1. Have fun, enjoy whatever your doing. 2. Don't care what anyone else thinks of you. 3. Thats it! If you follow this step by step plan, you will be much more alpha and all the things on tylers list will happen naturally. I'm not gonna explain why this works, because I think its pretty selfexplanatory. It takes time to really get good at this, but if you invest the time in my "Alpha Recipe" then you will be a true alpha and a happier person. Enjoy!

To get this thread back on topic, now that the flamewar & off-topic stuff seems to have died down. I'd like to see additions to the list- specific, not general, alpha behaviors And please boys, keep the crap out of this thread . . . One addition is: 11) CONFRONTS AND DEALS WITH BEHAVIOR GOING ON BEHIND HIS BACK, IF IT'S SERIOUS, OTHERWISE PAYS NO ATTENTION TO IT. When people are talking shit behind his back, trying to stab him in the back, undermine him, or whatever, the alpha evaluates the situation, taking his time (nothing looks more beta than instantly flying off the handle when you find out about some shit) If he thinks there is no threat to him, and the other guy is of no consequence, he lets it roll off his back, the other guy is beneath contempt- he doesn't exist for the Alpha. If it's serious, the Alpha confronts the guy, to his face, looking him straight in the eye, and challenges him to say the stuff he was talking about behind his back straight to his face. It's amazing how few betas will do it., and when they do they kind of grovel. I've gotten a kick out of seeing this happen. Of course, the true Alpha will be ready with a plan for what he's going to do if the backstabber challenges him by saying the shit with no submission . . .

TylerDurden sent me a private e-mail asking for feedback on this post since he learned a lot of it he says based on meeting me. So I post my response here. It is actually good feedback for me on how I come across, and a sad inditement of my aloofness also. The issue here is really about what it means to be cool. I meet a lot of people from the community, and very few it seems to me measure up to the standard of cool that I expect from my friends so maybe some elemetary discussion are in order. Comments within: > > ALPHAMALE CHARACTERISTICS: > > > 1) NEVER QUALIFYING THEMSELVES.

Because they don't even GIVE A FUCK enough about you to even tell you > about it. I am sorry I come off like that. But on the other hand my internal dialogue about whether I am hungry, or need a shit or whatever is my internal dialogue. There is a filter between my brain and my mouth. I would like it if other people could have the same filter and think about my interests before they open their mouths and sprout it to me because it would save all the banal conversations that I have to have sometimes. When a banal conversation comes along, I either tune out and get into a conversatoin with the person to my left until it is over and the person has taken a hint, or let it be known that I am not interested with a disinterested facial guesture, or sometimes in a PU I will give the chick a "Spare me!". It is not a bad neg actually. This is really about the mechanism of negs. And it is true ... I dont give a fuck about if someone else is hungry unless it somehow impacts my plans in that I will have to accompany them to get something to eat or something. It is not that I am only self interested, I just expect some restraint on their part as to what we are going to talk about. If a chick tells me she is hungry during a PU, I will use the op for an instant date. If an instant date is not possible and the statement is banal I will not answer it, just leap the conversation to a new thread "Really? so anyway, I was down on the corner of Jefferson Ave. and Main St. the other day and ..." > > They ASSUME that you'll think that they're the shit, because they ARE. Yeah, I do truely believe that I am the shit, because I am:-). You have to be cooler than the chick in a PU. Always. Doesn't matter if she thinks she is the club queen with hangers on and an enterage, that is what a neg is for. Tell her she is weird. You are suddenly cooler. She tells you that you are weird, she is cooler, especially if you try to justify your self, or go into self-discovery mode. Tell her as a retort that her momma didn't teach her any manners. Or that she doesn't get out much. You are the cooler one again. You know about manners, social interactoins and all that stuff more than her. > > TALKING ALOT / TOO MUCH IS VERY OFTEN INTERPRETED AS QUALIFYING YOURSELF. It is not about talking too much so much as talking fucking banalities or too quickly or rabbitting from one conversation to another with no eye for whether the topics of conversation are of interest to the other person. Someone who always has to fill the silence with bullshit is unconfident. If there is a silence don't fill it like a hopping running rabbit just scattering some mad movement into the silence ... just shrug your shoulders, smile and say to her "So you are full of scintilating conversation ... c'mon, tell me a story, entertain me!" They never can. Too much pressure. They will say as much and ask you to tell them a story. That is your cue for a routine. You look cool, she looks boring. She will want to fuck you because you are cooler than her. > > > 2) NOT LOOKING AROUND.

I am big on this one. Say it all the time to everyone I go out with. "Stop looking at them! Dont stand there and scope the room! You are fucking it up for me with your uncoolness. You have to have your own shit going on!" The 3 second rule is worth sticking to. > > Think CLINT EASTWOOD. He hears a big bang or loud noise, and he SLOWLY turns > to look at it. He doesn't let ANYBODY disturb him. He's in his own reality. This is more of not being an excitable rabbit. Anyone who has spent time anywhere that is dangerous (rough neighbourhoods, dangerous cities) knows that you are best off in a new place just working out the scene for a little bit and acting as if the place is normal to you. Tourists to the neighbourhoods stand out because they stare at things that are normal to the locals. This makes them targets for theives. You have to look comfortable in your environment. Every time you do anything you should look like you have done it 1000 times before. You want to be the opposite of Vince Vaughan in "Made" where it was obvious that he was new to the whole NY limo thing, etc. > > > 3) TALK SLOW. > > Think to when you are chatting some authority figure, or somebody who you > admire.

YOU COULD EVEN > DO X,Y,Z...." I am not sure that this is usurping. If TD has applied the word to me I am guessing that it applies to my interaction with TD on the night I met him. It wasn't a competition for me though. I think it is a good way to interact for a different reason. Look, with a person you can be adversarial. I mean that someone makes a comment and you take the opposite position, but when someone makes a statement you can take the ball and continue to run with it. It moves the conversation off into new and interesting directions. I posted once on this. It is a technique from a deBono book (can't remember which one). > 5) NEVER BEING IMPRESSED.

> But will HE come over and act impressed? NOPE. > > He'll just go do his own thing, or just sit there eating his ravioli, > unimpressed with me, in his own reality. It literally takes a lot to impress me. But I agree, it is uncool to gush. Just nod your head and go "Yeah, nice one!" Or "That is interesting, tell me about it" then they are the ones trying to impress you. This is not a concious technique for me but I recognise that I probably do it. Again it is just a part of my definition of what it means to be cool, together and under control. > 6) ONLY HAVING RAPPORT WITH BETAS, EXCEPT FOR A FEW EXCEPTIONS. Don't know about that one. I mostly hang with people who I think are cool. "You can judge a man by the company he keeps". "Birds of a feather flock together". And other cliches. > 7) ANSWERING QUESTIONS WITH DEGRADING JIBBERISH. Do I do that? > 8) ALPHAMALES DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. Yeah, that is true. I think it is about how TD left my presence, I didn't give a fuck. It is a pity, but who gives a fuck? This is also about being an independent thinker, and self relient. I have enough friends in my life, I am not really looking for any more, but if someone is cool to spend time with, I am open to it. It is about being comfortable with yourself. I am courtious and friendly with people I just met giving them the benifit of the doubt. > 9) ALPHAMALES GET MORE CREDIT FOR MINOR ACTS OF KINDNESS THAN BETAS DO. A lamo trying to ingatiate himself with someone will never get respect. This is not a new point only further reason not to be a lamo. > 10) ULTIMATE COMFORT IN OWN SKIN. This, fellas, is what it is all about. Thanks for the feedback, TD. It gives me something to think about. I am not consciously an arrogant prick, I assure you.

This is what peacocking can do instantly(you still have to back it up), makes YOU the coolest person in the room. If you aren't cool enough to attract the women you want, figure out what you need to do to be that cool, look for the guys that are.

Part of this is being prepared to make a fool of yourself. Often you go into the high end clubs and all the Eduardos are there with their indoor sunglasses trying so hard to look cool that they will not approach (thus all the outstanding girls are left alone). That is not cool, it is shy, and wrapping yourself in "coolness" as an excuse not to get out there and try your luck.

Topic:10 Alpha behaviours - for breakbeat (important) (34 of 36), Read 340 times Conf:>> Advanced From:Berserker [email protected] Date:Wednesday, April 23, 2003 01:52 AM OK, Let me start by saying this: This is my first post but I think that I have something to say about this topic (being TOO cool to approach). I am a bartender and I see this happen all night long. There are always, without a doubt, at least 10 guys in the club standing together with their arms crossed making sure to not be paying attention to anything, and definitely giving off the "I'm totally cool" vibe. In my bar, we do things a little bit differently and have a majority female clientele, which equals good girl/guy ratio, and a majority male staff. So, some of the things we do are more suited to things that women may like to do, and lots of guys have the "you're a fag" reaction to the things that we do. So, these guys, in effect, make an effort to distance themselves from the chicks. And, they give me a good situation to build rapport with the chicks by joking about how much

"cooler" those guys who don't do anything must be. Guaranteed, the women always respond with a laugh and ALWAYS think those guys are chumps. Which means that those guys ALWAYS go home alone, and we're the ones who the women can't wait to AT LEAST give their # to. The worst part is the desire to "not shit where you eat" by dating a customer. Of the Alpha traits listed by Tyler, I find that the ones that work best for me are NOT QUALIFYING YOURSELF Tyler is definitely right that it is much more powerful to just BE the shit, and ASSUME that everyone else will think so. NOT ANSWERING OR ANSWERING WITH JIBBERISH See Tyler's post. NOT GIVING A FUCK makes everyone want to make you give a fuck ULTIMATE COMFORT IN OWN SKIN The single most important trait, as far as I can tell. Some of the guys that I work with have gone so far as to ask their girlfriends what it is that makes us so attractive to the girls that come into the bar. The response is always the same: that we don't really seem to give a shit about what we look like, as long as we're having fun. I think that if you have this trait, women can recognize it and it INSTANTLY makes you more attractive to them. Maybe some of this can be of help to someone. Any comments are always appreciated.

Part of this is >being prepared to make a fool >of yourself. This is the difference between being cool and acting cool. If you are cool, then you know that you're the most interesting guy in the club and that any woman you talk to will realize this too. You aren't just outwardly cool(least important), but inwardly cool. People who act cool are inwardly boring, insecure guys who hope that their image alone will attract a few women so that they don't have to risk anything of themselves. -ozwald1 "I be catchin' bitches while bitches be catchin' feelings" -xzibit

25 things Taught a few hundred guys by now just from meeting guys through PAIR and in workshops recently, and this is the shit that ups their game instantly with no tactics or anything. I see this shit ALL THE TIME. It's the BIGGEST and most COMMON problem I see after everyone I've met. This is some of the main shit I focus on fixing when I'm in the field. Almost EVERYONE I met so far screws up this shit, and it totally fucks up their sarges. If you do this, don't feel bad. 99% of guys I meet do it to various extents (myself included). This is the extension of the "10 alpha qualities" post, which was when I was first figuring out what this shit meant. Back then, I was just posting observations. This post contains conclusions, having now thought about it. ERADICATE this shit, and your game will go up B-I-G-T-I-M-E, more than ANY tactics will help you. This is part of what's called being a "natural". Even with nothing else, if you know this stuff you'll do well socially, and probably get laid. This stuff is the KEY. This stuff is only for people who play the REAL game, not the INTERNET ARMCHAIR GAME. So guys who don't actually PLAY can skip this, because there's not much theory in it - its directly applicable.

1) FIDGETY MOVEMENTS AND TIGHT SHOULDERS AND TAKING YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY OR BEING TOO BUSINESSLIKE OR "SOPHISTICATED" (not laughing or being relaxed) = very visible subconsious (or conscious) self-doubt, overcompensating through non-relaxed state, where you're prepared to deal with anything that could happen. Ever met someone who doesn't blink when you talk to them? 2) TALKING TOO FAST = worried that people will stop listening to you unless you get out something that will interest them before they leave 3) LAUGHING AT YOUR OWN JOKES = covering up that you aren't affected that others didn't laugh, and social nervousness 4) SAYING "RIGHT" OR "YOU KNOW" AFTER STATEMENTS = seeking validation that what you said was true, or saying it because others aren't 5) STANDING WITH LEGS NOT HALF A METER APART AT LEAST = worried that you'll infringe on other people's personal space 6) TALKING TOO SOFTLY OR LOUD = fear that you'll impose yourself on people and their personal space(ie: beta).. alpha males aren't afraid to project their voice.. YET, talking obviously too LOUD can also be seen as OVERCOMPENSATING. Just like guys who wear GENERIC clothes are trying to fit in, or guys who wear OUTRAGEOUS clothes are trying too hard to overcompensate. (hint: be careful with peacocking, find a style that doesn't come off this way, which can be tricky but is still very doable).. Some guys don't talk, some talk too much, etc etc.. Find appropriate balance through trial and error, which is determined through social observation, 7) MOVING YOUR HANDS AROUND WHILE YOU TALK = trying to keep the attention of the group (sometimes can be cool, but most often a form of qualifying yourself) 8) LEANING IN *or* 'PECKING' = too eager to talk.. NEVER lean in no matter how loud the environment is MAKE HER LEAN IN or just leave but NEVER lean in or "peck" as its also called. 9) FACING BODY/FEET TOWARDS HER BEFORE SHE EARNED IT = trying to gain rapport with her too eagerly.

10) CHASING WHEN SHE WALKS AWAY = hoping she'll listen. If a chick moves away from you, move your bodylanguage MORE away from her, so she'll be drawn back.. don't CHASE her... WTF?!@?!? 11) NOT WITHDRAWING (backturns, etc) WHEN SHE DOES SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULDN'T TOLERATE FROM AN UGLY GIRL OR A GUY = trying too hard to pick her up 12) ANSWERING QUESTIONS TOO QUICKLY/EARLY = too much interest in the conversation 13) TURNING YOUR HEAD (OR "SNAPPING") WHEN YOU'RE ADDRESSED = too eager to be in convo.. so if your head is facing the other direction, and a girl says something to you, turn it SLOWLY to her, don't snap it out of eagerness to hear her 14)

GOING

BACK

TO

A

PRIOR

THREAD

THAT

WAS

INTERUPTED

AT

THE

FIRST

CHANCE/BREAK-IN-CONVO THAT YOU GET = trying too hard to impress them.. (ie: when a thread gets broken off in the convo, and you go back to it FIRST chance you get when the other topic ends, you look like you were WAITING to get back to it.. WHY are you so eager to get back on it, unless you don't feel comfortable around the person and you need to qualify yourself to them?) WAIT until THEY say "what was that you were saying before?", and THEN go back to it.. if it doesn't happen, *DROP IT* even if it was good. 15) NOT APPEARING MORE INTO YOUR WINGMAN THEN THE CHICK = trying too hard to pick her up.. you've known your wingman longer than her.. why do you pay more attention to her than your wing??? 16) TOO EAGER TO PAY ATTENTION - SAYING "what?" IF YOU CAN'T HEAR HER, PRIOR TO BEING IN RAPPORT = too much interest in what she's saying.. if she mumbles, just STACK OPENERS into an entirely DIFFERENT topic, RATHER than saying "what?" This is fucking KEY KEY KEY. If you say "what?" you'll lose her unless you're already past attraction and into rapport. If this happens, just run a new opener and change the topic. 1- you don't look too eager, 2- you look alpha for being disinterested in what she's talking about which helps anyway 17) REPLYING WITH OVERLY THOUGHT-OUT OF LOGICAL ANSWERS OR WITH OVERLY CLEAR/FORMAL PRONUNCIATION = being concerned that you won't be accepted unless you convince really well (eg. HB: why did you ask me that... RIGHT = I'm talking. (sit and stare)

WRONG = because I really need to know since I've been thinking about this for a while.. the FIRST one conveys that you won't qualify yourself to her) 18) TAKING TOO MANY SENTENCES TO STATE AN IDEA THAT COULD BE STATED IN LESS SPACE = qualifying yourself. Commander Zap emails me a few months ago: "Remember TD, don't write what you can say, don't say what you can wink, don't wink what you can smile" TIGHT. The shorter you can explain something in, the more PROFOUND you'll appear. Why? You're not qualifying yourself. (ironically I'm massively guilty of this, due to the fact that I post when I'm really tired - see #21 to spot what was wrong with this last sentence) 19) BEING BOLD INSTEAD OF CONFIDENT = that you know that you can't pick her up, so you compensate with self-defeating actions so that the snub can be on "your terms". Saying "I'm sexy right?" or "baby I want some of that" or even just approaching when the logistics are totally unrealistic is too eager, because a CONFIDENT person wouldn't feel the NEED to say these

kinds

of

things..

these

things

are

symptoms

of

OVERCOMPENSATION

for

INSECURITIES.. which leads to.......... 20) OVERCOMPENSATING INSECURITIES = fear of not being accepted. Have you ever met a janitor who the first thing he says is "money is over-rated.. I would never get caught up in the corporate world" blah blah.. if they'd have just said "I'm a janitor" and LEFT IT AT THAT we wouldn't have even THOUGHT that anything was wrong with it.. but because they INSTANTLY start overcompensating, it comes off as overcompensating or qualifying. Same with if they BRING IT UP TOO EARLY. Like "hey, I'm Steve.. I'm a janitor and I love it".. They're TRYING to be cocky but it comes off as COMPENSATING. BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOURSELF. If you're BALD, don't say "would you love a bald man?" as a pickup line. It's not COCKY.... its BOLD. If you're bad looking, don't say "don't you think I'm sexy". Just be comfortable with yourself, and don't bring up the issue at all. 21) OVERCOMPENSATING FAILURE OR SHORTCOMINGS = fear of being judged.. if you do poorly on a presentation, or on a sarge in front of a wingman, or on a test, DO NOT SAY DUMB SHIT LIKE "I'm really tired". EVEN IF you're ACTUALLY really tired, the mere act of saying "I'm tired" comes off as QUALIFYING yourself to the person. Just don't bring it up. If you have shitty clothes on, don't say "I have nicer clothes at home." Just don't bring it up. If you meet a girl when you're dressed bad, don't say "I have the coolest club clothes at home" Just don't bring it up.

22) GOING BACKWARDS IN THE PICKUP ON HER SCHEDULE = too eager to lay her.. if you've already GONE THROUGH the whole "let's ballbust and shit test eachother" attraction phase of the pickup, and you're now in RAPPORT -> if she tries to ballbust you at this point then just WITHDRAW ATTENTION. DO NOT BALLBUST BACK. It seems COUNTER INTUITIVE, but once you've gone through that whole little attract phase, and you're now being nice to eachother in rapport, DO NOT let her rewind the sarge by answering her ballbusting with ballbusts of your own. Just withdraw attention, to show that you're not interested in going BACKWARDS in a sarge. 23) WAITING FOR HER IF SHE LEAVES FOR ANY REASON (LIKE SAYS "I'M GOING TO THE WASHROOM, WAIT HERE) = too eager and into the convo.. if she goes to the washroom, make sure you're into another set by the time she gets back. 24) OVERLY REMEMBERING DETAILS ABOUT PAST CONVOS = convo means too much to you, because the person has unusual value to you (ie: a hot chick). Of course, I'm not advocating to be a total dick, but the general rule of thumb is that if you wouldn't have remembered a FAT CHICK or a GUY saying it, then don't remember the HB9 chick saying it. If some random dude said it and you would have remembered, then FINE. If you were in an unusually intimate convo that's also fine. But otherwise FAKE forgetting, even if she's a model and you remember every word. Even forget her name. If you see a random chick from your class or work, but you never talked to her, OPEN LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW HER. Don't give into the temptation to say "we work together". Just open like a random chick, and maybe if you get snubbed then pull out that card to save face, but only as a LAST RESORT. 25) OFFERING TOO MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF TOO *EARLY* = too eager to make them like you.. subcategories of this are: A) Verbally: if you say to a chick "yeah, I just got back from NYC (or any cool place that would impress)" or "yeah, I just got my Rolex fixed", or "yeah, my stripper ex-girlfriend told me..." then she PICKS UP on the fact that you're trying too hard to impress her.. Same with NAME DROPPING.. DON'T GIVE GIRLS YOUR RESUME TOO EARLY.. Personality conveying routines should convey personality COVERTLY, so it looks like the story is just SO COOL that its WORTH TELLING on its own accord, and it just HAPPENS to have some good things about you in it. When offering good things about yourself, don't offer boring details. Say it with less detail, and

it seems less eager. INSINUATE THAT WHICH YOU ARE TEMPTED TO ELICIDATE (holy shit, I just made up that last catchy sentence, but I've gotta say that I'm the shit.. right?) B) Entertaining: If you have stuff like patterns, or the CUBE, or magic, or photos, or palmreading, and you do this EARLY, it comes off as TRY-HARD. Personally I don't use any of these things, but alot of guys do, and when they bust them out prior to the chick EARNING it, it comes off TRY-HARD. Use the stuff LATER, but not right away. C) Wanting rapport with someone who didn't earn it: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT??? I swear to god, almost *EVERY* PUA I meet live in field does this shit, and its SUPER LAME. Going up to a chick and saying "nice necklace" or "what's your name" or "where did you get that?" is FUCKING DORK SUPER LAME. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF FROM A R-A-N-D-O-M PERSON????? The counter argument to this is that you're not hiding your desires blah blah blah she's a hot girl and she should be happy that you're approaching, but this is INTERNET RHETORIC.. and this approach is STILL hiding your desires behind the GUISE that you're nice, so even if the rhetoric was true, it would STILL be ineffective... In the INTERNET ARMCHAIR GAME this stuff is FINE, but in the REAL FIELD GAME this shit screws you over before you've even started gaming. It's fucking bullshit, and NOBODY who isn't very goodlooking or socially proofed (or whatever high value) PRIOR to going in, can make this kind of approach work consistently on HB8.5+ chicks. TRYING FOR RAPPORT TOO EARLY IS QUALIFYING YOURSELF TO HER BECAUSE SHE HAS NOT EARNED IT. D) Talking without feedback: When you're talking to someone, and they don't give feedback, and you're talking and talking, you BETA YOURSELF. It's a DOWNWARD SPIRAL, where you start

talking

TOO

MUCH,

and

you

SENSE

that

you're

qualifying

yourself,

so

you

overcompensate EVEN MORE by TALKING and TALKING more and more.. Then you feel more and more beta'ed because you qualified yourself, and you're left treading water, grabbing at ANYTHING that will impress the person, so you keep talking in hopes of saying that one thing that will impress them. AVOID this by not talking too much unless THEY give some feedback. IN THE FIELD you do this by PAUSING and FORCING them to fill in the awkward gaps.

100% AMOG DESTROYER

The easy way to handle any alpha is to be polite to him, but act disinterested by his rap/accomplishments

using

tonality/body

language

(without

coming

off

as

patronizing/sarcastic) while simultaneously being charming to others around you. This will drop his perceived value and cause him to qualify himself to try and raise it back up. He can't fight you or do shit like that, and he can't move to insults, because you've been polite and in doing so he would be making himself look VERY BAD. The only tactic vs this is to walk away. If you reward him just enough to encourage further qualifying but not enough to make him feel validated again he will fall into line as beta in relation to you. I blow out rich men in power outfits, top ranking professors in schools, 300lb bouncers, police officers and gangers ALL THE TIME. This shit works - if you do it right they will work VERY HARD to be your friend. Ultra quick and effective AMOG destroyer This is just like the JAP Busting stuff, where you say "you're cool", as a way of tricking him to qualify himself to you. He's stuck, because if he DOES do well, he's qualified himself to you. If he doesn't, he's failed to. The only answer he would have would be to say back to you "hey now, you're cool.. I didn't mean to step on your toes man.. You're a smart guy, keep talking to her and I'll watch and

learn

man!"..

Of course to that, you could reply, "You just met me and you already say I'm smart and cool? hahah"

(for guys who pull the college-guy type out alpha on you) PUA: dude, you're like the Joan Rivers of the club.. I love all the little comments and shit.. (to imply like he does nothing but sits on the sidelines making comments but doesn't take action, so use this on guys who have that characteristic in the club venue) PUA: That was really good man, you're like a comedian. OR, if the dude is out-alpha'ing you, keep going until he's TOO into it, and then let him do a bunch of condescending shit on you in a row. Look at the girls like you're bored or sad, and because he's talking TOO MUCH he's therefore qualifying himself to you and losing. Then say to the girls "he's playing the condescention game.. I already won so I stopped now.. who do you guys think won, me or him?" (key is that you looked SAD so the girls start going "awww, he's

so

sweet",

so

they'll

say

you

won

because

they

love

you

now)

For super aggressive AMOGs who try to pick fights AMOG:

blah

blah..

PUA: Dude, are you pissed that you're rolling with all guys? AMOG:

blah

blah

PUA: dude, your all guy crew is so slick man.. where are your girls dude, what happened tonight? AMOG:

let's

go

outside..

PUA: guy man, I'm with chicks right now.. I'M INTO CHICKS.. I can't get into this

experimental kinky shit with you right now, I have my hands full.. (misinterpreting that he was trying to sleep with you, not fight you) AMOG:

blah

blah..

PUA: dude, that shirt rocks.. Tommy Hilfiger.. awesome.. man, back in highschool I used to have the one with like all these cool stripes on it.. it was awesome.. AMOG:

fight

blah

blah..

PUA: guy man, these chicks just told me that they dig you like so bad.. you don't have to fight to prove yourself to them.. they think you're an alphamale dude.. you don't need to try so HARD man.. just BE REAL.. Once you get the guy to qualify himself to you in any way (like he tries to make friends), rather than being nice, IMMEDIATELY cut him out of the circle. Just cut him out. You'll notice trying to SHUT YOUR GAME DOWN by bombarding you with logical questions. They'll start pummeling you with logical stuff, so that you have to answer him the girls fall out of state. For me I found the solution was just to say "hey man, don't get all scientific on me.. we're here to have fun.." and then immediately start gaming the girls again. btw, if I'm out with any of my GFs at a club, and another guy hits on them, I use the same tactics on AMOGS to stop them. When you cut him out of the circle, he'll either leave (too deflated), or he'll try to grab your shoulder and say something like "don't turn your back on me". From there, the girls think he's creepy, so you say "hey guys, this dude is creepy.. are you friends with this guy?? did YOU bring this guy here?" The girls will say "no no no, we don't know him", and you say "OK, let's get out of here", and put out your arms for them to grab. Then walk away with the girls on your arms, and if you want (I do this alot) turn around and have them both kiss you on the cheek and wave the AMOG goodbye. Also, you can USE the AMOG's WORK for yourself. Like he lines 'em up, you knock 'em down. This is something I do alot. I let a guy pick a girl up and increase her buying temperature, then I go in and outalpha him, say he's creepy to the girls, and then remove them from him. The girls are already aroused, so they are still in state based on what the AMOG did. I can do this like maybe on 90% of sets I approach where a natural AMOG has gotten far with a girl. I think a dude I know "Stephane" recently posted about this on Cliff's List regarding a sarge we

did. Basically, I just make the friends of the girl who is getting gamed on by the AMOG like me. Like, they want me, but they know they're not qualified but their friend is. Then I say "Hey I want to meet your friend so much, but that touchy grabby lean in guy is all over her.. is she just being nice, or does she really like guys who lean in and touch and do all the

'whats

your

name'

fake

ungenuine

stuff?"

The UGs are invariably like "no no, we hate guys like that.. that's why we love you so much blah blah", and then you get the FRIENDS to literally REMOVE the hottie that you want from the AMOG who is conveniently heating her up for you and saving you the hassle. Most of the time, the AMOG feels immediately beta after such a line! Hey AMOG, what's up? Are u ill today? You look sick! Hey AMOG, you look/talk/act strange, do you take drugs? Hey AMOG, your clothes are really strange! Hey

AMOG,

i

talked

They don't like you, because you seem strange! Hey you seem tired!
