Human Alphaness: The Most Misunderstood Topic in PU

A human alpha is liked, looked up to and trusted by his group (and often also outside his group). He did not get his status by using brute force. He got it by being dependable, thrustworthy and wise (and sometimes clever and insidious).

News flash: A human alpha does not have to be the actual leader of the group.

He does not need to be the strongest man. He only needs to be strong enough to be respected. His real power comes trough his social proof and his ability to lead other men, and he is only granted this power because he is trusted and liked. He's got such charisma because he takes care of other people by making them feel special and safe - but never in a validation seeking or qualifying way. He's also got this trust because his group know he will (most likely) remain calm and make the right decision when a crisis strikes, and solve potential conflicts withouth having to use violence.

Simply put, the alpha provides security and stability to his group. In turn he gets an elevated status along with certain perks, for instance not having to pursue women because of his enormous respect and social proof from other people.

Now, alphaness isn't a fixed term. A group may have several alpha candidates, and they will gladly step up and take over if the premiere alpha somehow fails. But the most successful groups are the ones where several alphas cooperate for the greater good (though, with the caveat of divide and conquer).

In any case, if you can provide security and stability, you also provide a perfect environment to raise children, and thus women will chase you. Having good genes and a great body isn't enough in the long run, although such traits are also coveted by women, and thus it may lead to infideliy. If you are a young champion, you may not need to be established in the group, but in order for women to want to invest in you, you still need to show a great deal of alpha behaviour, like security, dependability and social savvy (this includes sexual confidence, and the ability to calmly comunicate your fetishes to her). Being a good candidate for an alpha position is enough to get female attention.

Knowing your weaknesses isn't being beta. It's a sign of strenght. Even alphas aren't perfect and sometimes submit to insecurity, but alphas usually snap out of such behaviour quickly because they are aware of how destructive it is.

A true beta, or maybe theta, is insecure, validation seeking and shows supplicating behaviour because he lacks experience or self respect - or maybe both - and he may not even be aware of those weaknesses. Betas are also dangerous in that they can be strong, but being insecure they constantly need to show off their strength and bully others in order to feel good about themselves, if they don't just submit completely and hold the heads as low as possible as to avoid any conflict.

Such behaviour does not entail trust, nor security or stability, and the result is often conflict and sometimes even death. This is why the alpha always have the moral upper hand when fighting a beta. Even if he loses, the group (led by the alpha candidates) will gather around him and fight the oppression. Cowardly betas, on the other hand, are often liked by stronger men, as they are easily moulded into lackeys and followers (even thought they cannot be trusted to do anything demanding).

Thus, the best way to work on becoming more alpha, is to fight your own insecurity (getting healthy and working out is usually the best first step here), learn about self respect and social norms and work on making others feel good without supplicating or qualifying. Then you can know that your work will be rewarded with esteem, tons of social proof and eventually women that chase you without you having to make the slightest effort to do any PU.
