"The idea that we could have an Alpha-only civilization is extremely questionable. Who would be happy cleaning hotel rooms or mopping toilets? Certainly not your Alphas. They consider themselves above such things. And as creatures of the mind, they tend not to be very successful at skilled labor, or physical labor at all."

So, what kind of work do "alphas" do? Doctors and Lawyers? Internet marketing? Not Iron working? Tree service?

@Blackhawk Who do you think is fixing and building everything?

This is exactly why the Alpha talk is stupid and makes me want to punch my computer when I read some of these threads.

agree the term gets thrown around all the time yet ppl cant even agree on a definition of what it actually means.
the term comes from animals originally and CANNOT be transferred to humans 1:1.

I don't understand these classist dick-measuring contests. If you can provide the means to live and you can get laid, there's no reason why you shouldn't be considered a successful man. The dudes on top are power struggling with each other for the sake of their own security.

There's no need to be upper class to get bangs. Roosh has demonstrated many times "I'm unemployed and live in my father's basement" still gets lays.

The problem is what to call how we change ourselves.

I think everyone here can agree that Mystery's "Venusian Artist" is DOA.

"Pickup Artist" and the even worse "PUA" is geeky and conjures up visions of Howard Wolowitz doing magic tricks. PUAs use entertainer antics to gather phone number, but never close.

"Alpha" really is just the first letter in the Greek alphabet. It's origins are supposedly from describing primate tribe social structure, but a grossly oversimplified shallow society with only 12 apes and two classes, Alphas and Betas. Do Alphas ever refuse to bang females because they're fat, they're ugly, they're rude, stupid, or haven't wiped their ass in weeks? Not in the Primate world. Primates have no game. It's all social circle for them. They are a horrible model for pickup.

"Having Game" is Style's take. While clunky, it makes me barf the least.

"A-Game" is specific to American baseball. I like it, but it leaves the rest of the globe scratching its head with WTF?

Alpha = social dominance. That can happen at any level of society.

Player, mack, pimp. Rake, cad, roue. Playboy. Stud, Casanova, Lothario. No need to devise some nerdy neologism when plenty of old words will do.

I like 'mack' myself.

The problem with 'alpha' is that it always leads to these dick-waving contests. It promotes a zero sum mindset that if you're not a top top dog, you must be a second class human.
