It's all about the alpha male

[Shannon]

What you are seeing is that your standards are much higher now, and you don't need the attention, affection or approval of any woman.

Here's a little story you might find amusing. A few months back, I subscribed to Playboy magazine. It wasn't for the articles, it was because I wanted to have a master reference for studying advanced studio glamour photography, sets, backgrounds and posing, which is what the magazine essentially is to a professional photographer like me. They even use the same exact camera body and lenses I use.

I never got an issue until the other day when I got three at once. I brought them inside, remembering that when I was young, this was the first "naughty" magazine I ever looked at, and how much it used to arouse me. In spite of my intent of using it for a study tool for mastering advanced studio lighting and posing, I couldn't help wondering if it was going to turn me on.

Then I got inside and looked through them, and I noticed two things immediately. First, each magazine seems to have three photo shoots in it: a pre-main, main and post-main shoot, with the main shoot including the centerfold. Second, amusingly, I got lost reading an article before I found any pictures.

Anyway, I started looking at the pictures and what really struck me about the three magazines was that out of the nine major women who were displayed in them, only two would have been women I would have found worthy of interest in a personal situation. Some just flat out did not have the body or look I would have gone for, some just completely disqualified themselves by being smokers and some killed it for me with ego and attitude.

Now think about that. Only 2 in 9 women who were actually featured in Playboy magazine would have interested me enough to try for. That's only 22% of Playboy models! How's that for high standards?

That's not how it would have been just a year ago. Of course, I'm in some rather unusual circumstances in that I sometimes work with women like these in person, which is why I subscribed to Playboy in the first place. I also occasionally date this caliber of women. But the Alpha program certainly has taken me from a state of lower standards to a state of higher ones, if I now consider only 22% of models who make it into Playboy as being women who, based on looks alone, I would go after.

AM2011 does this to you. On purpose. Why? Because a man who can look at what is labeled the highest caliber of women and be picky is a man who can have whatever he wants. Women of a particular caliber will always sense when they are perceived as better than, equal to, or below the level of value of a man they encounter, and they tend to want those men who consider themselves to be her equal or better than her. It's the law of the jungle: the leader of the pack has pick of the litter. Literally.

So yes, you're getting pickier. That's a good thing. It says you're a high value, high status man who a woman should want to have, or not feel good enough to be with. It's how you end up with the top caliber women. Whether you are looking for just a woman who rates a "10" looks wise, or you want a high quality woman in all areas, you'll tend to end up with women who match your level of value. The higher your value is, the higher her value will be.

By the way, just to clarify the point, it is not the case that I won't date any woman who hasn't been in playboy, etc. because looks isn't the only thing I consider when I choose a woman I will date long term. I also consider her intelligence (a MAJOR selling point for me), her maturity, her personality, her communication style, how open minded she is, how self secure she is, how she treats me, whether she tries to manipulate me constantly or not, how honest she is with me, faithfulness, age difference, sex drive and other things.

So basically what I'm saying is that even those two who were "good enough looking" and did not disqualify themselves with ego or smoking would not have automatically been chosen just because they had nice bodies. They would have had to show me they were worth my time in at least the majority of those other ways as well. Likelwise, a woman who doesn't score top marks on looks, but who has those other qualities in spades is going to be chosen over a woman with great looks who doesn't score well in these other areas.

That means I have become so self secure and self reliant that I could realistically have shot down all nine of them and kept going. That's not to say they wouldn't have possibly shot me down as well, but the point remains the same. I am not a shallow man ruled by his gonads anymore, as I was when I was younger. Perhaps part of it is my age, but a large part of it has been my exposure to the Alpha Male set. I simply don't need women anymore. If one comes along who has qualities I like, and she likes me, we can now agree to be together because we choose to. Neediness and desperation have nothing to do with it on my part. And, in the mean time, I am single, and having a good time regardless!

You can look forward to something similar. Not everyone will get the same exact results, or be in my shoes with regards to specifics, but you certainly won't be chasing down girls and women who aren't incredibly valuable examples of womankind after this. And the nice part is, lesser men will often not be able to see a woman's true value because all they're looking at is T&A. It actually makes the real gems easier to find, and catch.
