posted on: mASF forum: General Discussion newsgroup, July 7, 2005Some common traits i've noticed.
#1 Very competitive, strong desire to win
Alpha males don't easily concede defeat. They are extremely competitive and
hate to lose.
It extends pasts sports to all areas of life. For example, if an alpha makes a
wrong statement, its tough for him to admit the mistake. And even if he's
wrong, he'll say something vague like:
"yeah, i dunno...maybe...i'll look into it"
"Hmmm...you COULD be right"
#2 EGO, EGO, EGO
Alpha males have huge egos.
I know 'masf alpha' might not, but thats because we learned all the good traits
and ignored the bad.
Most alpha males have big egos. This stems from their past success in different
areas of life.
Alot of athletes have big egos because they relate success to sports. I've met
alpha grad students because they relate success to being intelligent.
The point is, the ego comes from SUCCESS.
Its not necessarily a bad thing if kept in check.
#3 DISLIKE OF OTHER ALPHAs
You put two alpha males in the same group, they usually don't get along.
And because of ego, they won't back down.
Alphas enjoy surrounding themselves with betas...because beta males are easier
to hang with and they don't question authority or attempt to run the group.
Myself, i can't hang with certain guys because their egos are too big and its a
clash of personalities.
#4 BETA THE BETAs
I've noticed alpha males will poke fun at beta males.
We call it "amoging"
Sometimes its a light joke, maybe about clothing, something he said or generic
diss.
In the case of a heavy diss, sometimes the beta tries to retaliate but he's no
match for the alpha. If he disses back, the alpha will easily cut him down. If
he retaliates physically, the alpha will gladly retaliate harder.
My favourite tactic against other alphas is IGNORE/SILENCE.
AssholeAlpha: "Yeah, all women are bad drivers, i can't believe they let women
on the road!"
Me: (silence, ignore)
AssholeAlpha: "Uhhh...anyway..."
Silence is the most effective way to shut-up an alpha. If he doesn't get a
response, he can't do anything about it.
#5 MOODY/TEMPERAMENTAL
I've noticed alpha males are moody.
Alot of them have a temper. They aren't scared to piss people off.
Keep in mind, these are traits from real alpha males i've observed and masf
alpha strives to keep all the good traits and minimize the bad ones.
Being alpha CAN be learned. The first step is eliminating all the unuseful beta
behaviors and thoughts.
