Alpha Male Bullshit
Independent, self-assured, centered men don’t care about labels.
Seriously—think of all the truly impressive men you’ve encountered in your life.
The guys who command attention of a room, who can navigate social situations with ease, who give off a vibe that they’re not to be fucked with without saying a word. It’s palpable.
In my experience, those type of men have never referred to themselves as ‘alphas’—they would laugh at the label or at any attempt to appear as such.
Competence is currency as man, and the most powerful men have a quiet self assuredness of their individual abilities.
Conversely, the ones who are the most insecure, and get the least amount of respect from those around them, are concerned about projecting the image of an ‘alpha’. They crave validation.
The obsession with being Alpha is perpetuated by a bunch of pseudo-philosophical, mental masturbation on the Internet—mostly perpetuated by feeble, middle aged dudes hiding behind a persona.
Men with internal power live freely, regardless of the expectations of others. They are who they are, and aren’t concerned with how they’ve perceived.
They also aren’t afraid to be kind (not nice). They aren’t as self-focused, so they like to see others succeed. Often, those who subscribe to alpha male concept, have a false sense of bravado, and try to act domineering. They put others down to preserve an image of power. However, when they are confronted, they almost always fold.
If you thrive to be independent, self-assured, and centered emotionally, things will fall into place.
Worrying about the perception of others and overcompensating by putting on a false front is the behavior of a truly weak man.
