AM 12 Suggestions!!

[Ryan]

Shannon wanted me to start this thread to take suggestions for the new version of Alpha Male coming out soon. I figured I'd start it off:

-Socializing
-Mood enhancements

-Carpe Diem (being bold and going after the opportunities that present themselves to you in the moment)

-Leadership
-Body relaxation/comfort
-Success

-Even though Sex Magnet covers this, I think it would be a great concept to include to Alpha Male as well. Being pursued.

-Pushing to overcome fears
-Comfortable/encouraging going out alone
-Pushing you to expand social circle
-Being aware on what is going on around you
-A cool thing would be reading body language, subtle signals

Somethings I believe are already included but maybe expanded on:
-Presence
-Body Language
-Voice

-Rejecting negativity/positive thinking

Some others I believed were mentioned:

-Seek the Challenge
-Victim Mentality
-Comfortable with people starring at you
-Self Acceptance

[Spiral]

Those are all really good. I like the emphasis on programming a mindset for success. And being pursued in all walks of life and not just women but this could be addressed with self acceptance presence awareness and leadership oh.. and carpe diem. I think carpe diem and the mood boosters along with positive thinking and rejection of negativity is the icing on the cake for an already great program. Ryan basically said it all.

[Roy]

Something that was discussed at Woceyes thread was fear of being sexual
with women in order to not hurt them and also fear of sex and overcoming
negative conditiong to it.

Socalizing and charisma would also be cool addition.

I also think that initiative would also be great.

[ALI6NMENT]

Wow, only seems like a little while ago we did the last thread for 2011 Alpha.


-Appreciation for the here and now, seeing the good in the present, whilst being eager for more.

-Inspiration, more so then motivation, there is a big difference.

-Clarity, knowing my strengths & values whilst knowing what to do with them, getting the most out of them, having clarity on where to direct that energy, also strengthing weaknesses, having the courage to do so, if wanted. Clarity in knowing what exacly is for my highest good.

- More socializing aspect. I am a lone wolf, I find that after alpha I am more withdrawn then before Alpha, mainly because the friends that I had are no longer on the same wave length, thus not being inspired to be with them or socialize with them or wanting to make new friends. Not sure if it is just me, but I have a real strong desire for quality friends, but not really inspired socially to make any, or finding any that are on my wavelength. Making friends and meeting people that are for my highest good would be cool, its not all about women is it.

[Jones]

While I am quite new here, I have been lurking for some time, and am looking forward with great anticipation to AM 2012.

If it has been covered in another thread, I haven't been able to find it so... AM seems to be the flagship product. As such, in addition to its core mission of helping one to find the Alpha Male within, wouldn't it be advantageous to provide a "jumping off point," to a number of other programs?... each of which should be identified and placed within a defined taxonomic framework.

For example: AM 2012 should prepare one to gain better success with:
-Sex Magnet
-Become A Successful Entrepreneur
-Extreme Bodybuilding (though I would prefer "intense resistance training" here, as I have no interest in competitive bodybuilding, but would like to be in the best physical shape I can achieve)
-Attract your perfect...
-And so on.

At the same time, are there subliminals which [when used before AM], which will enhance one's results, and provide greater success with AM? Perhaps it could be configured/recommended as a (dare I say it) "curriculum?"

Being alert for the possibility of opportunity, being "tuned in" enough to recognize it, and having the motivation to step up and take advantage of it.

Stepping outside your comfort zone in all aspects of life.

[RainbowAbyss]

Some fantastic suggestions, albeit I am going to venture out and say not all realistic with the core AM still being in place. @ Jones, welcome officially!; and I would say that AM, because of the nature of the program, will naturally prepare/be a great base for whatever program one does next, I think that making it more specific as a prerequisite would be kind of ridiculous and most likely dilute the script.

my suggestions would be as follows

1. motivation/carpe diem/ inspiritation-I have never been so OK with doing NOTHING as on this set-I felt like a lazy superman on this set and think some INTERNAL motivation is most necessarily.

2. Mood enhancement-preferably the dopamine related kind lol

3. Overcoming victim(hood) even subtly-

4. Dealing with fear of success/ one's fears in general

5. Going after what one wants

6. After sex magent, I would definitely say something in the line of being pursued by woman still.

7. Some seek the challenge stuff would be great

I found these traits on a google search for Alpha Male haha and I think AM covers them to an extent to actually have all of these fully down would be huge when done with an AM set

Alpha Male (masculine)
Knows what he wants from life and woman and goes after it.
Feels comfortable taking the lead in social situations.
Comfortably and confidently takes the lead when appropriate.
Knows who he is and is not afraid to express his true personality around people. Doesn’t fear being judged, ridiculed or picked on for being himself.
Is calm, confident and in control in life and around any woman.
Feels the desire to approach women, talk to them and move towards sex and does it without fear.

[jimbobday]

Some awesome ideas here.

What I would like to see. Most are already in the list

* Motivation to socialize
* Mood enhancement
* Motivation in general to achieve everything in life
* Being present in the hear and now
* Pushing sexual escalation without fear because an alpha goes after what he wants
* Fear of sex
* Pushing to expand social circle is a big one for me
* Self acceptance
* Leadership

Also Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it

[Ryan]

I suppose we are all agreeing on the same ideas. Merry Christmas, BTW. AM 12 is going to be a great, belated X-MAS Gift

I would suppose one of my biggest sticking points after AM and SM would be my ego. I think it could use a bit of retooling at times. Though it is very under control, ATM. Some of my bigger problems are:

-Feeling like I have to do specific things at times to get women or keep them in fear of loosing them (would this be an abandonment issue?)
-Working more on not giving a fuck and just having fun
-Fear of not going after everything that I truly want because I feel it's the wrong way of doing it. From numerous advice from dating products.

It's hard to really pin-point what this problem is. But I know deep-down, I don't always want to convey what I want because I fear I'm not going to get what I want or I believe that it's the wrong way to go about doing it from various sources.

So perhaps a lot, disconnect from using dating / pick-up material and allowing your natural abilities to just let go, accept, self-love and go after what you want, regardless of what you've learned. Just do it, don't question it. And the only thing you need is your attitude/mindset from subliminals.

I guess some of this could be traced to:

-Modern explains of alphas and pick-up artists and how they go about doing it. So perhaps disconnecting from fake examples.
-Rejecting past experiences with women and focusing on what you have now
-Knowing that it is ok and you are already successful with your dating life, mindset, and that none of that matters. I suppose that is self-acceptance.

And one good point that Ron makes from Brent Smith. Is "To Give" not "To Take". So in such social situations. Brent Smith adapts the mindset of "I am the mayor", he walks around and introduces himself to everyone for small-talk like he owns the place, or is the most popular/famous dude in the room. It gives him insane charisma. But, at the same time. He adopts the mindset of "I am careless, free, happy and fun" so I will come into your life to give you a part of that. Instead of "I want to come into your life to get something out of it". Same with women. "I would rather give you a bit of my life, rather than take from you".

In a sense, "I am the most interesting and charismatic person in the place that I must talk to and introduce myself to everyone" or "I am so carefree, exciting, and happy that I love to introduce that to others whenever I go out", "I love myself that I love conversing with others and bringing them into my life to give such love back".

I think that is an amazing mindset to have. Could learn a lot from him.

As for approaching. I also like David Wygant's style is who is aware of what is going on around him. But he starts conversations based on that. Improv I suppose you could say. But rather than a straight-up pick-up he talks to them about what is going on around him or what they are both doing. Such as at a super market, "How are these apples?" or "Do you see that beautiful building over there?" etc. Funny example but I think you get the point.

And of course, for the being aware of what is going on around you and paying attention to signals from women. I would say simply, noticing their presence in your presence. Being able to pick-up subconsciously who is and isn't interested in being with you. And acting upon it to avoid rejection and cold approaching.

Body language -> she is turned towards you or more open with you than anyone else. Good reason to approach.
Proximity -> Does she get in your space or tend to walk by close to you at times?
Eye contact (most important) -> does she look at you?

Acting upon such signals without any question/doubt.

Approaching is difficult for me, because I don't necessarily know quite how to do it. So a kick-in the butt would be great. Such as "I approach women directly and effortlessly to those that are attracted to me with a simple, down-to-earth approach and I am carefree because I know they will click with me" or "I know that they will also converse well with me" something along those lines. To cut out the "I don't know what to say" hesitation.

And making others comfortable, feeling more appreciate, and overall better about themselves to be around and with you. That also comes with self-love.

I hope I'm making enough sense here. Maybe I can elaborate more later.

I get the point you are making there. I think as i'm sure theres a few here that come from the PU community myself included adding in something around disconnecting from the PU material would be a good idea as most of it is absolute crap.

I found in the 2 years I was in it sure I got some women but they were low quality and pretty much everyone I know in the PU community gets women but they are all low quality and personally I like quality over quantity.

That does sound like a little bit of an underlying abandonment issue. Would be a great thing to add to AM12 as well as I am under the belief that pretty much everyone has been through an abandonment experience sometime in their past.

The approaching help is something I would like as well so adding in something to push you to approach a little more would be awesome.

[Ryan]

Yes, I think it would be interesting to approach the type of women that are interested in you, and not just any random woman. I think that is the best way to go for both a relationship or sex. Natural attraction and connection is most important.

And I believe, it would also be cool to include something that you know what type of woman you want both physically and emotionally. But at the same time, attract those women to you. So you are aware of the ones to go after but you also no longer want the type of women you do not enjoy. This could be future SM as well. But I thought it was a great point after completing both sets that'll remove fear of rejection but at the same time also remove fear of approaching and conversing because you already know that it happens.

"I attract the type of women I'm physically and mentally attracted to wherever I go and we effortlessly click together" or something.

Or another good one Ronnie pointed out to me. I like petite women that are older. So something along the lines of "Everywhere I go I attract petite women that are older like magic! And they propostion me" or "they show interest in me and I effortlessly get them". Of course, this would be more vague considering everyone has different types. But to also make you as an alpha know what you want and notice those around you possessing that to get it.

"Everywhere I go, I pay attention to the women that are interested in me through body language and eye contact and I act on it without hesitation"

So pretty much a balance of they approach me...but I approach them too. Really depends on the situation but to know what to do in a given situation. "Hey she's giving me interest I'll make my move" or she comes up to you and makes the move herself. And you can easily escalate it because you know for a fact it's simply on!

And of course cannot forget deservedness and gratitude for everything you want and have.

Get past looks entirely and knowing she is simply a human-being.

[jonathanzx10]

Shannon, if you could incorporate the teachings from these guys it would be great. I really think these are the keys to being alpha, I went to a seminar with them and they are the real deal.
http://authenticmanprogram.com/igtp/Inne...Points.pdf

[Shannon]

Wow. I really opened up a can of worms with this one, didn't I? lol

Okay, I see a lot of great ideas here, but there's a limit to how much I can reasonably pack in six stages. If it takes more... and I can see it taking as many as 12 to do all this well... how many stages are you guys really willing to pay for, and use? Cause a 12 stage set (if it came to that) based on AM2011 would be a shiznitload of work to build. I can and will do it, as long as it's not going to be a waste of my time because nobody ends up buying it. A 12 stage set would probably be around $400 a copy.

[ronatello]

Looks like a lot of stuff that Ryan asked me to talk about has been already talked about but let's see what I can do / elaborate on.
Being the mayor: this is the person that goes around and introduces himself to people and of course the next level of that is to introduce people to each other. And the next level from that would be to introduce groups of people to each other. It's definitely doable and it's being done. It requires a strong level of self confidence with total detachment from any outcome.
Being the mayor is 100% about giving in order to give instead of giving in order to get.
Another cool thing about being the Mayor is pretending to be an unofficial host of wherever you are whether it's a restaurant, clothing store, or what-have-you. Of course, you are doing this for your own entertainment. You are doing this to give... never, ever to get.
About pursuing: Alpha Males... true Alpha Males are ALWAYS pursued by women, period! They do their own thing and live their lives the way they desire. Women are just there for the ride. The true alpha never pursues women. Why? Because women are constantly blowing up his phone with text messages and whatnot.
My take on Social Anxiety is based on people feel that because they are out to get (attention, validation, respect, etc.) and if they don't' get it, then they get angry, frustrated, and so on. If one goes into an interaction and feels anxious, it's probably because the person is wanting something... sometimes on the subconscious level w/o realizing it.
IF you go into an interaction to GIVE... then there is nothing attached and you are totally indifferent on whether the interaction goes good or not (of course, it always a good thing that you tell yourself that every interaction is ALWAYS good!).
More about socializing: having "selective hearing" where you purposely misconstrue / misinterpret whatever is being said to you. Of course that's done for your entertainment! And that ties in with..
banter! Bantering is fun and as long as you have a carefree and confident vibe behind it, it will come across as crazy awesome.
Woman: where are you from?
Man: I'm from the Isle of Mano-Strumpet. (A strumpet is an old term for prostitute so in other words, you're from manwhore island, LOL)
Woman [with a quizzical look on her face] Where's that at?
Man: Bermuda Triangle
and that goes on for a bit...
Okay... I work at the hospital and I do floor work. So when a girl asks where I work and what I do, I say... "I work at the hospital"
Her: "What do you do there?"
Me: "I'm a stripper [long pause] [her eyes get big and she smiles and/or laughs] ........... and refinisher"
BANTER IS COOL! USE IT!

Now for some quoting
From Ryan:

Quote: I would suppose one of my biggest sticking points after AM and SM would be my ego. I think it could use a bit of retooling at times. Though it is very under control, ATM. Some of my bigger problems are:

-Feeling like I have to do specific things at times to get women or keep them in fear of loosing them (would this be an abandonment issue?)
-Working more on not giving a fuck and just having fun
-Fear of not going after everything that I truly want because I feel it's the wrong way of doing it. From numerous advice from dating products.

#1: that stems from scarcity and neediness (and yes, I battle with that at times too). It's a want and want equates to lack of. So the best thing to do is to let go of that want and also get into the feeling of having that right now.
#2: about being carefree / indifferent to outcomes. Even I need more work in that area! Ha!
#3. Sounds like being attached to the process along with wanting "to make it happen".

Quote: So pretty much a balance of they approach me...but I approach them too. Really depends on the situation but to know what to do in a given situation. "Hey she's giving me interest I'll make my move" or she comes up to you and makes the move herself. And you can easily escalate it because you know for a fact it's simply on!

Even Brent said it's split 50/50 down the middle. He approaches (and always to give) and he is approached. There is only approach anxiety when you're out to get instead of give.

Quote: And one good point that Ron makes from Brent Smith. Is "To Give" not "To Take". So in such social situations. Brent Smith adapts the mindset of "I am the mayor", he walks around and introduces himself to everyone for small-talk like he owns the place, or is the most popular/famous dude in the room. It gives him insane charisma. But, at the same time. He adopts the mindset of "I am careless, free, happy and fun" so I will come into your life to give you a part of that. Instead of "I want to come into your life to get something out of it". Same with women. "I would rather give you a bit of my life, rather than take from you".

Thank you for saying that, Ryan! When you are giving, you are coming from a powerful place. When you are getting, you aren't.
And to all reading this, it's very important to tell yourself positive things and also to be grateful (build grateful lists). It will allow you to attract more of that into your life.
Instead of dwelling on failures, reframe them as opportunities for even better things to enter your life. Like... a 7 rejected you... then an 8, 9 or an 10 came up and propositioned you! Start thinking like that!
Another example: A store puts a HDTV on sale that you had your eyes on for a while. You get to the store and find out it's sold out. You take it in stride and lo and behold, another store has the same model, in stock for $30 less!

[RainbowAbyss]

I think if you like Brent's stuff there is no harm just doing a few Brent affirmations/visualizations on your own, I feel like that stuff works better at a conscious/vigilant level-not to say the affirmations themselves wouldn't work but the whole process seems more on a conscious/vigilant level-although now that a think about it some of the Brent stables would be pretty awesome in Alpha Male.
my results with sex magnet have tripled and all resistance crushed whenever I do 5-10 minutes of mirror affirmations a day-where as before they worked all right but on sex magnet they become like magic incantations.
As for Alpha Male in the past its been based off of a captain Picard if I remember correctly
I would say for 2012 one couldn't do better than a healthy Don Draper as the role model. He's super alpha, congruent, authentic, successful, internally motivated and attracts woman to sleep with like crazy with ZERO effort.
just my two cents-I personally don't like the idea of a 12 month set
honestly I know there must have been a ton of changes during Alpha but it all pretty much just boiled into massive indifference mixed with occasional movements from apathy to aloofness, after the set was finished, very little in my life of anything more specific seemed to have changed/manifested accept I was more ok with myself and more lazier cause I didn't give a sh--t and wasn't motivated by anything. This could have been because of resistance or switching sets half way through-but just the massive amount of changes in my life and my sense of self in the last two months of sex magnet have blown alpha out of the water and made me more alpha than the Alpha set ever did-although I'm Alpha as a base probably contributed greatly even if it was almost 5 months later that I started SM
My last set through alpha left me feeling more fatherly than
I like Dr. Paul's formula on masculinity, as in real passion for life, masculinity=success in career/purpose+success with woman and masculine power= boundaries +the energy of confidence (which comes from action in the face of fear/anxiety)+observing ego, the ability to be present in the moment, aware of one's self and coaching/observing one self in real time and making the appropriate decisions-
I know it sounds not important but even having some scripting in terms of actually viewing one's self as man, not a boy, would be awesome, especially for some of us younger gents on the forum who are still working their way to full financial independence.
here's my final list of the qualities of an ideal Alpha Male-perhaps not all realistic for the set but I'm just going to put it all there.

6 month set, please!

But I just thought we'd give you as many options as possible and see where you go with it

I'm sure some of these can also be included in future SM as well. Up to you, Shannon, you are the only one who has the most experience using Alpha and know where it all leads in the long run.

This... in combination with someone's reference to scarcity... got me to thinking. All men (whether Alpha Males, or not) have, over the course of many generations allowed themselves to be incorrectly programmed... When it comes to women, a man should be able to expect pretty (dolled-up, effort expended to look her best) at a bare minimum.
His attitude should be: "If you expect any attention from me, you've got to come with your best look/attitude/behaviour/etc... otherwise, you're a waste of my time."

Take me for example. I'm happy with my life. I have a wonderful, beautiful wife, a couple of great kids. And the time I spent in Parris Island (and the 9 years in Marine Corps Infantry that followed), were mere reassurance of the self-confidence my father gave me. HOWEVER, just walking around in this world, and being exposed to modern culture can drag a man down. Every so often, one needs a "re-tool" in order to keep your wits, and maintain a balanced outlook.

Like the sculptor hacking away at the boulder... you take away everything that doesn't look like the finished product you envision... and what remains, is everything that needs to be there.

Six stages would be my vote

Sorry if the above sounds disjointed, I had to get it down in a hurry (being Christmas morning and all)...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

If it's gonna take longer than 6 months you could do an optional "alpha plus" set, I would pay for it.

What about creating two Alpha sets one more of the foundation building and one more outer Alpha set that takes the foundation and applies it with all
the rest of the suggestions?More of an outer alpha in addition to the
core programming.

That way it will be possible to make it more modular instead of a 12 stage set.

That isn't a bad idea, I would be willing to do that.

I vote for 6 stage set, too. Wanting to finish Alpha Male and Sex Magnet as far as possible next year.

I am now waiting for new version of Alpha Male and going to start in 2012! :-)
