Masculinity Training in AM

[Shannon]

Masculinity has been known about for a long time.   Coming up with a new way to categorize and define it simply gives new ways to work with the issue.

Masculinity simplified is maximizing the positive expression of testosterone based attributes while controlling the process with healthy and mature emotions and thoughts.

I disagree on your first point. Masculinity has always been around, but it has been conflated with whatever agenda people had. I've seen it defined by being a father, a good person, an attractive mate for a women. As far as I'm aware, this is the first book I've seen which takes it back to a hunter gatherer, evolutionary psychology direction.

I'm just wondering out loud if the masculinity programming in AM could be improved, to (perhaps) focus less on women and focus more on developing strong, masculine relationships with other men, or groups of men.

AM6 has the SM lead in, and I believe that putting that in was a mistake, which will be removed in AM7.  But the program itself isn't about women.

There is nothing stopping you from "developing strong, masculine relationships with other men, or groups of men" as a result of using AM6 if that is what you wish to do.  But the whole point of being alpha is to direct yourself, think for yourself, be your own guide.  This program shouldn't be telling you to do that if that isn't right for you.

You seem to want to go the direction of what some call "Alpha 1.0", where AM is taking you in the direction of Ascendant alpha, which some would call "Alpha 2.0".

With all due Respect Shannon, I think that Alpha Male 7 will  be more like "Alpha 7.0"..definitely a transcend/Ascendant Alpha Program....I think  by the time it comes  to building AM7 ,that the advancements will be so ahead of the current technology,that is will  nothing short of profound!! Hellafied Advancements in that direction.
I Love the statement 'when Im done with this program you wont need books,to know how to be an Alpha!" something like that....

I actually Have an Older Male/Younger Male connection with a Ascendant Alpha...he has been both a good "Daddy" to me,Mentor,Confidant and damn good friend. I always told him(he's still around thank goodness) Daddy How can I pay you back,give back to you,you've given me so very much to Me(and Other Men,as well)? he simply says "  YOU don't owe , me anything.,but if you want to give back,then just pay it forward" and I have, and continue to do so for the past 20 plus years-that is when and where I can!!
 Transcendent/Ascendant Alpha's in so so so very many ways are worth far more than their weight in Salt/Gold !! I've said to  Him, a number of times, I so want to be'where you are" and he simply says "Keep working at it,you're growing,ect".... He was the one who actually Told Me,woke me up to the fact that I was an Alpha Male,so many years ago. When he did so much made sense,so much made sense,worth repeating.
 Before that I was just being "Me". He's an amazing,right down to the ground,comfortable in his own skin,intuitive,owns his own power and space,Masculine Man!! Has consistent "Hella persepctive on life situations and is able to communicate them,almost instantly!
PS: I"d love to see Alpha Male 7-include a lot of LTU5 stuff,tailored to Alpha-ness of course.

Ah, but are you willing to pay for it?  If things go the way I think they will and each single stage 6G is $299.95 a copy, then a six stage set is going to be $1,799.70.  If we add in the $1,495.00 for LTU5 (not even taking into account the price increase for a 6G version of LTU), the end price for the set would then be at least $3,294.70 for a copy of the whole set, and this level of complexity would absolutely guarantee that I was forced to create a 6 stage set for AM7.  Are you sure you want me to throw LTU5+ in the mix?  Because I can definitely do that, if you guys have the coin and are willing to spend it.
