Traits of an Alpha Male

[CCarter]

If the interview series collection were MMA fighters, this interview would easily be in the likes of champions: Fedor, Anderson Silva, or BJ Penn. Having being looked at as the base for great pick-up game, inner game has become a hot topic. Although, being an alpha male is not all of inner game, for me, it is a great majority.

This interview makes Braddock, Sherriff, and Mr. M responsible for breaking down this subject to their eager students. The interview runs approximately for 1:16:42 and the audio quality will not disappoint. The instructors don’t just explain what an alpha male is, but also, techniques that will help you become an alpha of your own. These techniques will not only help you with women, but help in all aspects of your life.
The first part of the interview discusses traits that an alpha male possesses and how wanna-be alphas differ from the pure alphas.

Traits of an alpha can probably recited by most. If you’re not most the instructors lay them out for you. It’s also a good reminder of what you should be striving for.

The wanna-bes are given a beating in this interview. The guys touch on many characteristics of an alpha male that the wanna-be tries to achieve, but in the wrong way. One of my favorite quotes came from Braddock on this subject,

“An alpha male has a healthy competitive spirit, I think, but he’s only competing with himself. So, when he succeeds, he never succeeds at other people’s expense.”

This is something that I’m very guilty of and now see that I’m continuously measuring my accomplishments to others, instead of learning from there success. I’m glad I was able to recognize it and not be blinded by, what they call, my own self-deception.

The 3 gurus emphasize staying on your purpose. This naturally creates boundaries that must be enforced. They go about how this extends out to jealousy, that if your on your passion, your purpose and you enforce your boundaries well, jealousy shouldn’t affect you. They teach listeners how to put emotion aside when jealousy arises and allow logic to take its place.

An interesting topic also covered is the idea of adopting the identity of an alpha male. From Tyler Durden to Maximus, the guys give advice on how to correctly emulate an alpha male so no one goes and starts creating a cult or slicing heads off with swords.

Also, many books are suggested for your reading pleasure. There are even Tony Robbins references in this interview.

This interview is definitely a must have. The idea of becoming a natural is always something a lot of people strive for, but I’m not about to get into the argument of natural game vs. scripted game. No matter what you’re striving for in the art of pickup, this interview will help your game. Until next time, make sure to spade and neuter your pet. GO NY JETS!
