For a guy to become Alpha, he has to look for a pack of dogs / an area of interest where he can capitalize his attributes and develop Alpha.

In other words, maximize his internal abilities, maximize his social dominance, and minimize his weakness.

In other words, improve himself. A lot. And get happier.

There are so many areas of interest and so many different stuff people can do, so many different packs of dogs. The attributes required to belong to a pack, and therefore to be the Alpha of one pack are different to the attributes needed to be Alpha in another pack. At the end, however, there´s a constant, minimal set of traits that identify the Alpha:

The stronger dude on the group, the more adept, the one others look up to, the one who capitalizes the resources, the one needed, the one confident, the one the others want to challenge, the leader, the cocky, the self reassured, the one having the most fun while carrying most of the responsibility, the one who sets the rules, the owner, the master, the boss, the legend, the big cock, the one.

But being the king of the wrong pack will make you miserable. And being a pawn on the right pack will fulfill you. So the pack, which determines your base identity, is the first choice. Having the balls to quit when you have to quit and the strength to grab and choose and to stand for your choices and belong where you have to belong, is the first step towards Alpha.

Every dude out there owes that to himself. To find a place where he fits, to find a place where he can grow, and then grow to his max potential and then some and change things forever in the most epic way possible. Most of us were born with the desire, the pain, and the drive, to climb that ladder and smash it. Of course not “everyone” can do it. Its hard work. But thats how big rewards come in life. There´s no easy way to the big pot.

Alpha is the reserved chair for the best. You can have all the big rewards when you are the best. In your specific dog pack.

    well said. this happened to me in city x. i joined a soccer team, but my soccer skills are very rusty, and so i was erratic, sometimes played well, sometimes not, and i didn’t gain much respect from the other players.

    and i also joined a photography class, and my photo skills are on the rise, and i gained the respect and admiration of the entire class.

    my pack of dogs has to be other photographers.

    I like your take on this Yohami. It is more consistent with ethology than pop culture or PUA advice.

    Pop culture defines alpha status too narrowly. It suggests that career and money are all that matters.

    PUA advice suggests that men should adopt the swagger that comes with status even if they have no status!

    i love the cesar millan example. some wetback kid has a special connection with stray dogs and decides to devote his life to understanding them and crosses the border to the states with zero dollars and ten or twenty years later, he is an international superstar celebrity hanging out with jada pinket smith and will smith, just because he captured value in a highly specialized way.

    and of course i use wetback endearingly, being hispanic.

    Excellent. Love the pack reference. It certainly goes deeper than just leadership: it’s leadership where you have your passion.

    Glad you’re posting somewhat regularly again. Had to break myself due to law studies.

    i like this. anything that references Dog’s speaks to me.

    Brody is small, but he’s a BOSS among other Dog’s. he DOES NOT BACK DOWN.

    he takes after his daddy. lol.

    stay up Hermano.

    I hope you’re respectful to people. I know a lot of guys who tried to be dominant with the wrong dude and learned a lesson.
