that's why you diversify
Are women too supposed to understand that word and act on it?
This seems to imply they have agency.
Or are they just supposed, in old age, to keep on fucking up and being a parasite, not to their ex's or the state, but their offspring now.
I don't know. This sounds too liberal. The opposite, forcing them to save through a state pension system does sound kind of communist, though, so maybe the liberal way is better.
@Hamzter you've got one thing right: on the long run, you'll be much better off than them. Older men can still be attractive, older women almost never.
That might help with your confidence.
It is frustrating that they all swoon over chads and, truth be told, American women tend to view their SMV peer men as peasants. However, if you keep yourself fit, there will be women that like you. And, yeah, why not pay for a while, if getting laid easily is what you want. Plenty of affordable prospects around the world.
For the record, Alcibiades is the example that Cleckley, the psychiatrist who introduced psychopathy in the DSM, uses as the quintessential psychopath, in his Magnum Opus The Mask of Sanity.
@adam-l Yes. These guys are monetising ideas that should be for the wider benefit of society and some of them are doing it simply by creating content that pushes frustrated men's buttons. This is not where the manosphere started. It was a sort of bro science and bro philosophy. It is the truth behind our ideas that has pushed us out into the mainstream.
Louis comes out on top in that video. He came to make content out of them that would push people's buttons and he did. Where I always thought he excelled was in gently getting to know people who were on the fringes of the acceptable and finding out what mad them tick. He showed you the crazies but the crazies had a chance to show you what they were about. Sometimes they came out of it well and his friendly style came them a chance to do this, sometimes they made fools of themselves or showed the holes up in their world view.
Louis went out there and found some guys who were so easy to let make fools of themselves that it was too easy -make the fools perform to push the buttons of the liberal elite folk at the BBC, collect the money, get the exposure, next!
I wish he had talked to the right people but I fear those who commission his stuff want polarising button pushing stuff these days not stuff that stretches the viewer and may lead to disconcerting conclusions.
Read MoreMaybe this is a way to put it: "Alpha" and "Beta" refer to female perceptions. So, they are contextual.
Being authentically masculine and self-aware, is innate. You might come off either as Alpha or Beta to observing females, depending on the context. (Although it tends to land you on the Alpha side).
Sigma... Is my favorite disagreement with Typo. Imo, there is a "sigma" disposition. When you could, but don't bother to.
@First-light spot on. I was thinking the exact same thing.
Now that TRP is breaking out to the mainstream, the hysterics come: they make too much noise, are too flashy, and want to take over a narrative that has been painstakingly been built by men quietly comparing notes over two decades.
That's the great thing about the red pill: it has brought together men from all walks of life, in their effort to solve an unsolvable problem (how to deal satisfactorily with women).
@adam-l I too don't think we are in disagreement. Its just a very woolly area where it will be hard to get a consensus definition. Yet the lack of one is causing a degree of misunderstanding.
One reason why the archetype of Chad usually being a well off man (or at least not poor) is because like you say wealth itself gives opportunity, confidence and a degree of power. You don't see this in the lower classes unless it comes with an excess of cockiness. It almost never has the smooth confidence of those born to feel confident. I have seen this from two sides having been privately educated and then working for over two decades in a blue collar job around a lot of young men whom state education has failed. I just assume things are possible that they don't. I feel enfranchised when they don't.
I can therefore -in certain ways- act more "alpha" than them, particularly when it comes to talking to clients (who tend to be wealthy and privately educated themselves). I have spent years (with some success) getting these men to see they have more opportunity in the world than they grew up realising. I think I have succeeded in transforming a few of them, when the education system left them on the scrap heap.
One can be as analytical and as cocky as one likes but it is only when success has been manifest in one's life that one can be simply confident and it is important to help men to achieve some success or they will never know who they could have been.
