Any anons would like to share their stories of how they were beta at first and are slowly becoming alphas, or are alphas, and guidelines on how they achieved so?

I am on my way to slowly becoming an alpha.

>been reading books such as: Models, No More Mr. Nice Guy and 99 Attractive Traits That Drive Women Crazy (actual good book, seems like a clickbait title)
>work out
>eat relatively clean
>started saving money instead of buying useless shit
>dress well mostly
>more outgoing, not afraid to speak my mind
>slowly entering "healthy competition" with the alphas in my neighborhood, no longer just being on the sidelines
>don't waste time doing things that I don't really like (playing vidya), still watch TV tho but I enjoy it and alphas do whatever the fuck they want
>healthy self-image
>try to stay organized
>tfw still 21 yr old kissless virgin

Last date I had was before I started reading those books, they've helped me a lot. One last thing missing I feel is I need a girl however then again, I shouldn't think this way

Any anons want to share their experiences, as we help each other become better men?

I don't think you're alpha op
But keep at it, I'm sure you'll figure something out eventually
>>
>Get bullied during highschool
>Become a dick
>Find a girl during a trip, we hit it off

I'm tired of betas trying to be something they are not. You were born a submissive bitch that was only put on this planet to follow and do as the alphas say. Just know your role and accept it.
>>
>>37882169
Who gives a shit about being alpha if you don't approach? OP pls.
>>
>>37882169
Nice cringe op

Being alpha is about doing whatever you want and leading other people to accept that. You dressing nicely and trying to look good is just conforming. Try again.

I'm going to be joining boxing too, how did that go for you in terms of confidence?

You're right, but that's why I said mostly, and also when I say dressing well I don't mean spending hundreds on clothing but rather quality clothing that fits well and doesn't look like you live in your mom's basement
>>
>>37882169
>tfw still 21 yr old kissless virgin
because everyone can sense when you view women and social interaction as some game to play and level up in. chill and just enjoy it

/pol/ redpilled you into disliking "feminisim and other SJW bullshit" just by calling you a cuck?
>>
>>37882274
That's a good point, what I really do suck with is the touching part, because it's only with touching I feel that you can really let them know you're interested
>>
At first I was very shy at the gym. I dared not shower publicly. I also tried to tunnel vision in locker rooms. After associating with some bigger gym rats who took me under their wingspan, I started feeling more certain of myself and my purpose. It took an entire year before I dared stripping naked in front of my bros. Another few months before I felt comfortable sharing a shower. I can say that I am making big progress daily, feeling more and more certain of my role in the group.

I went through this phase a few years back

>read the most common self help books known to man
>watch free rsd videos or read their old blogs (years ago i dont follow this shit anymore)
>somehow develop this dysfunctional mentality of needing women, trying to impress or please myself, validating more bs and blah blah blah

after spending of few years in that phase here is my conclusion... No amount of pua routines or self help will help you with women and women are anything but the answer you think they are. They will cause more of a mess in your life just like most other people. You'll be lucky if you can find one solid partner that has got your back. A majority are out for themselves

Pua can't help you attacrt women either. You're either attractive to them or youre not. So stick to the basics that have been around before pua... Take care of yourself, have an income, move out from your parents house, dress nicely, don't act like a douchebag, be presentable to friends and family.

Das it mane. Its that fucking simple that nobody needs to waste time or money on pua or self help shit with women. That crap is all in your head.
>>
>>37882169
Hey OP, I'm looking at the latest book you named, but I could only find "99 Bad Boy Traits That Instantly Attract Women". Is this it?

I cucked an old co-worker after only a year of solid lifting, girl was fucking smoking too.

Then I ended up banging an ex-boss of mine.

One was a pixie, the other thicc white girl with freckles who used to do track and field and had the muscles for it.

I'm a beta and has been always been a beta. I started lifting and exercising not to transition from timid-introverted to asertive or anything like that, in fact, I like being how I am, even if i know there are a lot more perks to being in the other side. The main drawn of being an "alpha" is sucess with girls and you might not notice it, but there are plenty of girls who like and preferr quiet, shy, bookish guys.
Be yourself anon, dont try to turn into something you don't are, just aim to be a better version of yourself and keep improving.
>>
>>37882244
I wanna dispel this misconception that being 'alpha' somehow makes you able to do whatever the fuck you want or get away with anything. One of the distinctive traits of masculinity is recognizing and accepting responsibility.
>>
>>37882246
>>37882246
its awesome mate

scary at first because you're going into a gym full of straight up alpha cunts

even scarier when you actually start sparring and you get rocked which you inevitably will

but when you actually start getting a bit of skill it's awesome knowing that you can actually defend yourself. being trained to fight makes you a better fighter than basically everyone. also you will cop so many beatings that you will realise fights really aren't scary at all.

would recommend
>>
I can't be alpha, I'm 5'7
>>
>>37882692

People pretend like being a loner is a baf thing, but it's not if that's what makes you feel comfortabele. I love my friends and family, but I also need alone time to function normally. And that's fine.
>>
don't read books about being alpha etc.
i know alot of mates who started watching videos and reading books and now they are depressed because they think every woman is a slut and they lost Motivation for life.

of course its bad to be a beta but being alpha and fucking or trying to fuck every girl you see wont make your life better trust me.

just be a mix of a nice dude and behave 'alpha', dont run after woman, dont lose your own opnion etc

>>37883993

I had revenge fantasies. Fuck these bitches and never call them back, show off in sports car, even beat the shit out of a few guys.
I never had time to do it and nowadays I don't even care. Why would I fuck one of these bitches if I can score a beauty (Russian women are phenomenal, best sex I ever had was with a brazil prostitute)? Why should I fight these guys and risk a lawsuit? At the end I'm going to pay these idiots money they could not earn in years.

What I'm trying to say is forget about what happened. You are wasting your time thinking about this shit.
I have no time for this shit. I prefer to spend money on my travels instead of showing off in a sports car I could probably drive only for a few months every year. It would be a waste of money.
>>
>>37882585
I have to disagree with you on one small point

Getting experience with women will increase your confidence and solidify your sense of self-worth

I think that No More Mr. Nice Guy is really spot on with a lot of its analysis and for a certain subset of the population, getting some experience with women can help to make guys feel as though they no longer have to justify their own existence and agency

Not saying PUA is the way to do it

Both long-term isolation and the PUA lifestyle are psychologically damaging
>>
>>37882169
Alphas are born not made.
>>
>>37884170
Beta detected
>>
I had this phase, here's how it played out:
Was kissless virgin, read the fuck out of PUA shit and RSD. I think it's good stuff but even though it's better than the "old" pua trickster stuff it's still pretty damn shallow. It's the best possible material for finding women who fuck on the same day you meet them.
Now I'm looking for a woman who is virtuous enough to dedicate my main human relationship to.
If you're feeling over RSD stuff I'd recommend Stefan Molyhneux's stuff on relationships, it seems really sound for someone rational
>>
>>37883993

sometimes I wonder if people here realize just how fucking autistic they sounds. Jesus. No wonder you can't get a girlfriend.
>>
>used to be skeleton, shy, not autistic but not especially sociable, hung out with the same group of dude friends

>fast forward five years

>been lifting, socialising more, generally chilled my shit

>sat around a camp fire with a bunch of girls and one dude, just met most of them that night while camping on the beach

>start describing first impressions of each other, some dumb game that one of the girls got started

>every single person uses the word 'manly' in describing me

People's first impressions of me are now that I'm manly. I never thought that would happen in my lifetime and in my head I'm still a shy semi-beta skeleton.

Go outside your comfort zone wherever possible, talking to strangers about situational stuff is the best place to start. Go out whenever you're invited out unless you have a legitimate serious reason why you can't.

Same here desu although /pol/ has its limits. Embracing your masculinity and patriotism and so on is good but I got into the moralfag side of /pol/ too and would avoid going out drinking and clubbing because I thought it "degenerate" and fucked my already less than mediocre social life up because of it. Replacing /pol/ with misc fixed me.

Bitter people who think that casual sex and being big enough to intimidate people are alpha traits are never going to make it
>>
Alpha isn't an act like a pair of shoes you put on or take off. It's a mating strategy.

If you're alpha girls want to fuck you and leave.

Beta is another legitimate mating strategy. If you date a girl a few times, getting to know her impress her, convince her you're sexy and then fuck on the 3rd date, your beta strategy is working.
>>
just remember, you cant read your way into being attractive

put the work in at the gym, stop reading PUA shit.

Me becoming a beta was a self fulfilling prophecy I guess? I've been a science nerd (current STEM fag) since middle school, so I just assumed that I was supposed to act like the other guys that were good students (i.e. the betas). Easily the most retarded thing I've ever done.

Eventually, I self diagnosed myself as a beta after reading /r/theredpill too much. I tried doing their required reading, but that was just too complicated.

Long story short: It took me meeting several real life betas in college and watching them interact with other people to realize that I wasn't actually a beta. More importantly, I realized that I was mistaking my stoicism and reservedness as awkwardness.

My advice is:
>ask people that know you well how you come across to them
>think about your own personal qualities and how they can help you excel in different parts of life (ex: I'm very level headed which has helped me deal with academic stress, but I have a funny side that makes most people laugh)
>never skip leg day
>if you're really nervous around other people, try visualizing internally what your interactions with them might be like
>don't avoid social interaction: want takeout? place the order over the phone.
>make eye contact with people
>DON'T read /r/theredpill or any of its related subreddits

Dont bother with self help books they wont do anything when your stuck at home everyday not meeting anyone you have to actually go out and meet people. if you dont have anything to talk about watch a few of the big sports games and hopefully your non autistic hobbies

>>37882169
God you're trying so hard, I don't blame you though...I tried reading PUA, most of it is dogshit, though RSD Tyler and especially Tim have some good points, although basically what they do is just take certain psychological concepts and apply them to a specific case. If you want to learn I'd recommend those 2 guys.

It's actually really simple:
1) Stop caring about what anyone thinks. TRULY stop caring, not just mentally saying to yourself "it's ok I don't care." No more of that mental noise and thinking so much about, just act.
2) Do whatever you want, whenever you want (within the confines of your societal roles, job, etc, i.e. don't just be an asshole for no reason).

If you can actually follow these two rules everything else falls into place, at least for me it did.

Are your activities something you enjoy and are they something that help you improve as a human being? Then keep doing them. Are you doing these things to please someone else/boost your self image? Then it won't help you become "alpha," the term is meaningless anyway. If you want to get laid go get an escort, go to clubs or bars and pick up drunk chicks. It won't solve anything though if you haven't changed those 2 fundamentals. Best of luck.

>>37891480

forget all that shit for a minute

-do you look good?

until you meet this prerequisite, any and all of your interests are irrelevant

>>
>>37886413
Is there a female version of this
>>
>>37891512
While I agree that looking good is a benefit, it is not a prerequisite to being "alpha" or successful in general. OP thinks a woman will complete his life and solve all his problems, and might make him feel good (for a time). Ultimately he's just trying to fill up a void with something external instead of working on the internal aspect of himself. I do think everyone who is capable should do strength training for the health benefits. The aesthetics are just a nice side effect and do indeed get people to pay more attention to you.

>Models by Mark Manson
>The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (if you can look past the new age hippie bullshit about energy and vibrations)

But in all honestly, some of the books that hit me the hardest weren't self-help.

>Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Related a lot to the main character which helped me call myself out on a lot of my bullshit.
>Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
>Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

Books can only take you so far, though. You need to put what you learn into practice. In a way, fortunately for me, I have a job that is constantly exposing me to social interactions (unfortunately, it pays dog shit; never work in retail sales if you're the quiet type). There are times when I slip back into my old ways of thinking and feeling insecure, but that's normal, I suppose. At least it's gotten easier to deal with now.

Women really age like cheese.
All that make up, tanning studios, alcohol, cigarettes, hair dye...and as soon as they realise that their beauty fades away they start doing some unhealthy bullshit diets and workouts, take some vitamin pills, surgery that makes it worse.

There are of course exceptions, but most women start to panic. Getting knocked up and marrying the first decent guy they meet, or even some pathetic idiot who was 'just a good friend' all these years before.

The problem is 99% of their theory, methods and information was already discussed a decade earlier in another forum. There books and videos covering the same principles. Go have a look, read the sidebar. That's it. Except their sidebar and a few posts there is no value.

It's all in your head man.
Gotta figure on your own how to change your thinking pattern.
I got that with age. Simply stopped caring about petty BS.

You could try doing this "failure challenge", lot's of people were reporting it improved their lives.
Basically it's about getting used to hearing "No" and rejection.
So what you do is every week you ask a complete stranger for something really retarded that will force them to say "No".
E.g. bother someone at the street and ask if they could give you 1k$
Pick richest looking house in the neighborhood, knock on the door and ask if you could take a bath in their home. Tell some shitty excuse when asked that their house looks great and bathroom must be equally GOAT so you were curious.
When confronted, explain what you are doing and why.
People are pretty receptive about this kind of shit, so I heard at least.

Just do it.

Ask yourself what could go wrong. Like for example talking to a stranger. What could go wrong? Let's say you spill spaghetti all over the floor, then what? It's a stranger. Fuck it what he or she thinks about it. Start of with easy social interaction like that. Move on from that point.

Your main focus should be on the question what could go wrong. Don't be to hard on yourself when trying to answer that question.

What i realise through this is that i was never really confident in myself. Me being 'nice' in high school wasn't really me, i was nice, but i overcompensated. Being confident in yourself and self worth is another important thing for growth. The ability to say or do that slightly risky thing you might not think is appropriate to say is incredible. sometimes i argue or get into weird situations because of the shit i do. but it just gives me good stories to talk shit with mates or when i chat up someone who shares the same humour.

You have no clue what other's are thinking. Even if you have 90% certainty they're disgusted by you (let's say you've got a booger hanging out of your nose and don't notice it) you have no certainty whatsoever about whether they remember it even 20 minutes later.

By noting when you are "Mind reading" and consciously willing yourself to think about productive things, like your next meal, workout, the next time you're hanging out with a friend, a good book you are reading, etc. You should also practice mindfulness meditation which will teach you how to let go of conscious thought. After I started meditating I can now simply close my eyes, take a deep breath, and immediately have a feeling of greater calm come over me.

Read the book like I said I'm not an expert. The book will teach you. David Burns.

What about meth?
>>
>>37896481
Using meth may work in the short term, especially since you might find friendship and community with fellow meth users and dealers. In the long run, addiction, legal problems, broken relationships with non meth addicts, and the realization that your meth using friends are using you for more meth and don't really care about you will probably lead to deepened depression and anxiety. Should you ever attempt to quit meth the withdrawal could heighten your anxiety. I don't recommend it.
