    Default How to be an Alpha Male

    Have any of

    you read this book?

    What do you think of it? I've seen the reviews on Amazon.com and it looks good. Kinda

    expensive at $50

    Nonetheless do you find you stay alpha by being verbally nice, or do you have to talk smack.

    Just wondering if that would get you fired in a business environment.

    I know its about picking up chicks and

    being a don huan, but really how to do you stay alpha in a corporate setting without getting your ass kicked by your

    superiors?

    UNLESS he teaches how to control verbiage so you may act alpha, be alpha, look alpha, feel alpha,

    but talk pleasantly but firm. if this is what is meant by alpha then that is great.

    Anyone here read the

    book?

    Haven't read

    the book, but the quote above is the essence of "Alpha". Unfortunately, a lot of people (mostly guys)

    mistakenly attribute "Alpha" with the chest thumping pushy loudmouth. That is just being a bullying a-hole.

    He distinguishes in the book between nice guys, alpha males, and jerks. So its quite

    possible this book can be used in a corporate setting for picking up women too.

    Most of it is geared towards

    dating and sex, as would be expected, but it's nice to see personality development guidelines for playing the alpha

    role carved into a manual. That can be used in business, friendship, and parenting, let alone women and

    sex.

    I've ordered the product myself so in about 1-2 weeks I'll know how it holds up.

    Some examples

    of males I think are alpha . Johnny Depp, brad Pitt etc. I don't think tom cruise is. I feel he comes across as

    a loud mouth screaming jerk whose not alpha because he is constantly teased for being a midget. Depp and Pitt

    don't get teased, and Depp is not that much taller (5'10"). Bottom line screamers = jerks not alpha

    males.

    Depp doesn't get walked over by woman, neither does brad pitt and neither of them act like ass**les.

    So let's hope this book is in the same spirit .

    Hi Theman03

    I would like to know:

    a) Can an alpha

    male personality coexist in the workplace or will you get in trouble with your superiors? Can it get you

    fired.

    b) Does the alpha male personality require shouting, attitude etc. Or is it more firm mannered

    requests for everthing

    c) It is very practical or more theoretical? Are exact things you say , do etc laid

    out for you?

    d) How do you best describe what is laid out as an alpha male in this book if you were talking

    to someone on this forum. What makes the alpha male so alpha?

    e) what mone signature is compatible with this

    "act"?

    f) can an Alpha male still be a gentleman?

    I know I'm asking a lot but I'd appreciate if you

    could respond as detailed as you can.

    Thanks
    HM

    I've moved this thread out of

    Pheromone Discussion to a more appropriate location. Continue discussion...

    A. Yes it can coexist in the

    workplace. However, if your boss is an alpha-male type you may bump heads. But it usually will lead to a mutual

    respect between you both. However, if your boss looks to you to be his alpha male, even though he is in a position

    above you, it can yield to you getting away with breaking the rules and being fast forwarded with a promotion.

    B.

    Quite the contrary. Alpha males don't shout, have attitude, or command people around. An alpha male leads by

    example, is very polite, etc. Shouting implies that the particular person who is shouting doesn't feel important

    enough to be heard and thus has to resort to "shouting" to be heard. Not an alpha male trait. Having "attitude" is

    only warranted when your being attacked with attitude, stand your ground but know your limits, sometimes the bigger

    man really does walk away (your indirectly saying that he/she isn't worth your time with your actions), but even

    then you do not shout, by being cool calm and collected it shows that you have CONTROL of the situation, which is

    what an alpha male is. And if you notice people who tend not to shout back at the person usually get shouted at even

    more by the other party because the other person is feeling even more secure by shouting in the first place.

    C.

    Yes, its very practical. Its not really laid out in a sense that you have to follow certain rules but more so in the

    fact that your whole personality revolves around a single concept. For instance, when dealing with a female, refrain

    from volunteering information unless she asks. When in a conversation, don't be afraid to direct the conversation

    to where you want it to go, and try to do more listening then talking. When people feel the need to talk to you its

    because they feel your valuable enough to hear what it is their trying to say. Never go out of your way to speak

    with someone, your important and therefore they will come to you. If the particular thing that you wanted to talk

    about wasn't really important then drop it all together. By seeking out a particular person and asking for their

    time in a conversation your indirectly telling them that they are more alpha then you are. So let people come to

    you.

    D. Its about letting people do what they want but them always doing what you want. IE, consulting you before

    we go out tonight to see where you wanna go, them apologizing for things they do to you, waiting for you to speak..

    just think about a son/father relationship when how you felt when you were dealing with your father, your father was

    the alpha in that case. Think about the emotions you felt, how you felt when you thought he'd be pissed off, etc.

    An alpha male is, for lack of a better term, everyone's father who are in the same social group.

    E. I suppose a

    more aggressive mone. But the main thing is that your body lanugage, speach, and other things have to complement the

    mone/alpha you portray. Ex, shoulders back, chest out - shows dominance. Chin up - shows territory. Eyes slightly

    closed - shows relaxation because you dont feel threatened. Also, speaking very slow is very important (not to

    slow). Also, jerky body movements is a non-alpha trait. You want to be slow a deliberate with your actions.

    F. A

    true alpha male IS a gentleman!
