As we all know, eye contact is essential to being alpha.
However staring other men down on the street will eventually lead to a thug escalating to a fight.
What's the solution you ask, simple user? The head nod.
I'm still trying to figure out if you nod up or down does it make a difference though. Up seems to come naturally for strangers and down for people I know.
Veeky Forums, you're autistic enough to have thought about this already. Share your thoughts
This is the type of thing everybodies dads should teach them baka
I think a the way to go while moving is to maintain a solid gaze directly ahead, walk with purpose.
If you end up making eye contact with someone a gentle downwards nod of is a generally accepted way of just acknowledging other people and letting them know you weren't intentionally starting at them
Just be big enough that nobody will ever want to fight you.
A U T I S M
Up= arrogance (or looking down upon)
Down= respect (or accepting their presence)
I've noticed more and more men are looking away if they catch my eyes. When I'm passing through a crowd more people are getting out of their way for me.
A trick the Romans used for looking people in the eye, is focusing on the spot between people's two eyes
Thanks user's, I'll try these out in my day to day.
Nah, I just have gaps in my instincts for dealing with men because of no male influence growing up. was right. Raised by a single mom, just sisters, all loser beta's as friends growing up, mostly hung out with gf's in college.
Up if you don't know him, down if you do.
My dad is pathetic, he tried to abandon his 3 kids for a decade, then would abuse us just to feel "alpha" himself
Of course when we got older and he got back into our life he literally couldn't even look any of us in the eye, he would look down
What other shit like this is there? I literally didn't know till this thread, but thinking about it I reflexively did the up nod thing when out running (inb4 kills gains) when some minority passing did it to me.
I've been experimenting with some of these
Ps undershirt is stupid if you were tight t shirts to show off muscle
It's the exact opposite bro. Nod down to strangers, signaling you acknowledge them and are aware of their presence. Nod up to your bros, as it's more warm and welcoming. this fellow user was on the right track.
Do you autists actually nod to strangers? That's literally tipping on another level
fuck realized i read that wrong rip
opposite of this
Only if you lock eyes.
What are you going to do, break contact first? Literal bitch move. The nod lets both males exit it without losing face.
Based user, appreciate the image.
Newfag here, but this may the most autistic thread i've read on Veeky Forums in my ~6 months lurking.
Been working on my eye contacf a lot recently and it is very rewarding. Still have trouble looking a hot chick in the eye but when I succeed and they look away and blush it feels great. Flirted a bit waiting for the elevator today with a hottie and held eye contact well.
We are all gonna make it.
Just keep staring until you either pass each other, or until he stops staring
You clearly have not been lurking for 6 months, have you seen the vegan, what the health and brap threads?
No
correct
This is the correct way, Moving your head up implys trust because it exposes your neck making it vulnerable. Thats why you nod down to strangers. You dont expose your neck, but the nod is a sign of respect acknowledging their presence. Also it breaks the tension and allows you both to look away instead of just staring each other down subconsciously trying to establish dominance
One thing to add I didn't see mentioned: stand and sit like a mountain.
Your whole weight should settle but firmly, so that good posture is maintained.
Lay down like a lion. Get comfy as fuck.
Being calm is also alpha as fuck.
Yh i nodded to this girl who i locked eyes with today accidentally while walking past her, she started it so i just instinctively nodded back.
Very subtle not nodding like a fucking clown.
I realise i do this with friends in environments where your far away and cant speak like exam halls. Tilting your head up makes you look really snobbish
slav bro here. nodding up around these parts = you want to start a fight.
We're not all social butterflies from birth like you desu~~
I assume you wait until the other nods down too? And if they don't?
Saw a few what the health threads. This screencap is new to me and I've seen a lot of good screencapped autism. I was just talking about active threads.
Another Slav in Moscow here. You sound autistic.
/thread
Yeah generally, If they don't I just look away after a few seconds. A lot of times people are just busy and don't really think about it, dont take it personally.
>Russian bullying another Slav
So the stories are true.
Hardly a social butterfly, but I dont see how anyone couldve spent more than a few hours in a gym and not encountered a downward head nod of aknowledgement from a stranger.
This guy gets it
Eye contact isn't essential to being alpha, it's a consequence of being alpha
The only essential to being alpha is to fucking relax and to own your life
cyka pidor from Moscow thinks its like that in the rest of Russia.
I don't know what it's like to live in a total shithole. The closest I've come to that is babushkas dachya
Theres a difference between the niggers of europe Slavs and civilized Russians
Humans are social mammals. Our big ol' brains let us get past a lot of our biological baggage, but honestly, do you think even 50% of people around you are mature, intelligent and chill enough to not play dumb games like this?
It's fun, and cheat sheets help our fellow user's who for one reason or another missed out on the basics.
I'm sorry guys, but this shit is pretty fucking cringe. Chad doesn't need quick tips on "how to be alpha", he just is. The fact that we're all here actually discussing the ways you can impersonate someone you're not is just beta in itself, an attribute to our character that will never go away despite improving our bodies and social interactions.
We're autists for life, just some of us become handsome autists.
Your babushka didn't want to raise a stupid gopnik, when she fed you semki. Ebar', behave yourself
fake it till you make it bro
>thinks that social skills aren't learned
>handsome autists.
Better to be a handsome "artificially" charming autists than a "sincere" ugly autist
Otherwise, you could just say better late than never
I went from a depressed forever alone shut in to a second rate alpha.
The magic trick is it becomes instinct after a few years, and you almost forget how bad you used to be. Sometimes I worry this is a coma dream or something.
That user has a point in that a lot of the dominant and aggressive alpha behaviors just come with high testosterone levels, but he fails to see it goes both ways. I haven't seen studies in humans but in baboons it works like that.
This
Chads had the fortune of having parents that taught them that shit early on, for some of us with shitty parents we had to teach it ourselves
YOU INCELS CANT DO THIS WITH FUCKING BUG EYES OR SUPER CLOSE SET EYES. Which I know some of you have.
How intimidating your eyes are is based on genetics.
>gayboom.ru
Don't forget the rise in smaller families means less older siblings to teach you shit as well.
Parents work all the time, aren't interested or are too tired, don't know themselves most shit, are usually stressed/miserable/fat, etc, etc.
Shit's fucked
Its true, but people seem to forget that we are above animals in the sense that we posses self awareness, and because different societies have different social norms, social interaction becomes more complicated then just pure test fuel interactions. you know who conducts themselves completely free of the social construct? poor people with no fathers. How much respect do you give them honestly?
Came to post this, only nod up to friends, nod down to strangers or people you intend to show respect to
little, most of them are criminals.
>be fat autistic nerd from birth to 17
>play WoW all day and jerk off to hentai
>decide to play high school football
>life changes, get Veeky Forums, get more friends, go to social gatherings
>slowly teach myself to be alpha
> realize the secret is to not be ugly and just not give a fuck
>regularly hook up with girls
It's really not that hard. Get drunk as fuck and just give zero fucks. If you're ugly or short just kill yourself. But I was lucky I was born tall and handsome, so I just needed the self confidence and the experience of being a normie.
>How much respect do you give them honestly?
None, totally agree on that. The whole chad thing seems more common in high school kids anyway, to describe bullies basically.
Bullies go on to lower education, less money, higher risk of psychiatric disorder and worse health.
Their victims come here.
How do I become a normie? Like with Snapchat and all that? I just turned 18 and started working out and taking care of myself and realized I'm actually not bad looking, in public I often get girls looking since 6'4 ottermode, I'm just too autistic to "get" Snapchat culture due to being a shutin
>having a dad
>having a dad (one that's not a total pussy)
For most people you can only pick one of those choices in 2017.
Im just trying to preach some truth. I love this board, and it has given me alot. but this alpha beta/chad trend shit is cancerous as fuck, and is a result of high schoolers with low self esteem trying to flex their e-peens. And some people actually come here to improve themselves.
Socialize at every chance you get and try to have the most fun in every situation, the rest will come naturally.
Preach it brotha
Alright this is the same user. Listen to me you autistic fuck. I am trying to help you from my own mistakes. The primary step to all of this is to have your shit together. The easiest way to be awesome is to DO NOTHING. What I mean by this is to have your life in order, and not have to pretend or feel bad about anything in your life. Groom yourself, wear nice clothes, be nice, educate yourself as much as possible to be knowledgeable in a large area of subjects, and most importantly have a good life goal, especially in terms of career. You don't realize how many men today in society are absolutely fucking losers. Get a good job or pick a good major in college. Be confident but let your body language and presence dictate social situations. BE THE ALPHA MALE WITHOUT TRYING. You have to make it natural, have people gravitate toward you because they want to, don't be a loud obnoxious douche bro. It will take time, and its cliche, but if you invest in yourself the results will be visible. Keep in mind, I am still the same autistic neckbeard that goes on Veeky Forums all the time and jerks off to weird porn, but I can disguise myself to be a normie in social settings.
>Socialize at every chance you get
OK this sounds very very autistic but
What do you talk about? How do you start conversations? How do you know if you're "welcome" to join a conversation?
I've always been "that kid" that is a loner
>Study: Bullies have higher self-esteem, social status and lower levels of depression
Nice mental gimnastics beta faggots
today.com
>How do you know if you're "welcome" to join a conversation?
Eye contact.
rooshv.com
You mostly won't be welcome. Don't take it personally.
Once you've mad eye contact and if they maintain it (broad strokes here), that's interest. Now say hey. Trust your gut from here. Doesn't matter how stupid what comes out of your mouth is, say it well and it'll be fine.
Then trial and error.
Okay, I want to help you. The best way to start to acquire some conversation skills is by first talking to people you dont care about impressing. Old people are the best conversationalist alive. They spent most of their life actually having to interact with people or die of boredom because you couldn't just mask your anti-socialness with video games and T.V.
Also, do something that forces you to interact with people, and also gives you a topic or platform to base general conversation on. This is why people join clubs and shit. You have an established conversation starter.
I don't mean with girls, I just mean in general. With girls it is more straightforward. Like if there is a group of people talking to each other outside of a class, I don't know how to tell if they're going to be OK with me joining in.
I know this all sounds very autistic but I'm trying to get better
My dad was a selfish party boy and feelings junkie who taught me absolutely nothing and raised me in manner that falls somewhere between a daughter and a pet dog. He even called me by my sister's name a lot as kid. He believed keeping me fed clothed and sheltered was parenting, and while I do appreciate it (i'm taking care of his old ass as I type this), there is a whole world of shit he neglected to prepare me for. Between him and my psycho-christian mother, I'm fucking ruined.
upnod if they're your bitch
downnod if you respect them as equal, or to show respect in general without being beta (think the japanese "-san" suffix)
long downnod if you're their bitch (this should never happen)
You stare people down until they look away. Even if the other guy is bigger he will almost always look away. If not turn your head to keep staring him down even as he walks by until he stops.
Never been confronted doing this even though I'm 6'1 and 187 lbs. You might not want to do this with nigs
>candy-ass
good times
Why are you still caring for him?
Genuinely curious, not implying you're wrong.
Something I've wondered about... does being beta as a kid/teen transition to having smaller/weaker body/features?
I guess it might just be smaller/weaker body/features mean you get less respect so you develop less confidence growing up.
You've got it backwards OP. Nod up to people you know. It's a signal of recognition and dominance. Nod down to strangers. It's a somewhat submissive gesture shows that you recognize that you made eye contact and that you don't want any trouble. If you nod up towards strangers then eventually some nigger will stab you.
The one thing I've wanted out of life, even when everyone else screamed at me that I can have more because reasons, was a hot wife two great kids a nice house and a dog and a decent amount of land.
I've wanted that ever since I was a teenager.
When it came time to move on from..a certain point in my life I realized something very important.
I'd be a terrible father.
I'd love my kids, take care of them, be there for them, and be interested in whatever nonsense that kids would like during their childhood. But I would be a terrible father overall.
I'd just fuck it all up in terrible terrible ways becauase i'm a fundamentally broken and evil man.
Your father did the best that he could. And he loved you.
It could be worse. You could have had me as a dad.
I had zero confidence when I was in high school. I was never bullied because I was 6'2" 230 pounds an out lifted 95% of my teams football team even though I didn't play
I didn't even have a dad, I had a guy who sent my mom a couple hundred a month, but these days I'm lucky I guess -- I don't blame him because I understand how he got into that position, and I know I likely would make the same decisions if I was in his shoes back then.
Regardless, I realized a while ago I'd have to teach myself what I need to learn, and figured things out along the way -- it's not that hard really (at least he didn't pass his manlet jeans onto me, then it probably would have been harder)
That answers that then, thanks user
Same here user my dad would get me a few weekends and he tried but was honestly a shitty dad.
He died when I was 26 from a brain aneurysm. Sudden and unexpected of course. I miss him but I know when I have kids I must do better. Prob why I have waited so long.
At least he tried.. Not to make a pity party here but my dad would never try to get involved with anything around me, and when I would try to open up conversation by playing music or watching a movie in front of him hr would just say "what kind of a loser would watch this garbage" and leave
lmao my dad's the same. His only real interest is cars so once I asked him to show me how the engine worked, so we could bond.
He told me to call the AA and went back to watching tv
Fuck that guy
My dad remarried a bitch with kids and had another kid so I kinda had a similar thing where I was more of a pain than his son. I know he loved me but he made a family after me so if I wasn't there his life actually would have been better in some ways.
Like you I just taught myself what I could. One thing I hate to admit is I am 35 and have never shaved with a razor. Simple things dad should have taught me but didn't.
Fug man, did you grow up in a movie or something, that sucks :(
Im shorter than you and also better than you in all the metrics you gave
What now 'alpha'
