Every time I read Shannon's post about it I feel empowered and on focus, as if I knew this is exactly my goal. But when I read Blackdragon's book I feel differently. I feel objections from his views very often. He's sometimes more like a jerk than True Alpha to be honest, not to mention he's contradicting himself quite often. Don't get me wrong, that book is great and really inspirational, but it has its flaws, and definition of Alpha 2.0 is one of them. But maybe it's just my different understanding of the term, different goals and endgame.
Ok my friend. Looks like you didn't read the thread about Alpha's Definition from Shannon.
Both in Shannon's thread and BlackDragon's blog where he answers any question both of them mention Sigma.
Quote:I have read websites where they try to define men by their characteristics. I believe the type I am referring to was known as the "sigma", which is the only threat to the Alpha, because he is everything the alpha is, without being in the alpha's control. Something like that. Interesting theory and classification, but in the end the goal is to rise above needing other people to know or care who or what you are because you are your own system of support and success.
Quote:Depends on what your definition of Sigma Male is. If it’s exactly what you said, than yeah, it’s Alpha 2.0
Ascendant Alpha/Alpha 2.0 are both in the very literal term of Sigma Male. Yesterday I searched for this topic. Sigma. But NONE can really define nor explain what it is. As if the terms Sigma itself are not from research.
Some of the definition though are harmonious in both ways which is these man seek freedom and self-mastery.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not justifying my hypothesis, but the clues that are scattered fits one another. I'll look further in this and post what will I find!
FYI:
There are ONLY 2 books about Sigma Male. Sigma Shock and Sigma Male . When I compare these 2 books, Sigma Shock looks like more interesting, So I'll buy it. Further research shall be done. I don't like doing things half-way LOLOL
