Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Shannon, AM6 works to make us an "Ascendant Alpha" which I think can compared to the concept of a "sigma male" one who is independent from the group, yet strong. When you're more "alpha" but not the alpha of the group per se how do women react? Do they go for the "ascendant alpha" who is more developed or the guy who may be weaker but has more social status. I read somewhere that traditional alphas get the girl because of their status even if a sigma is stronger and more alpha, what is your take Shannon?

First point. Every man, and every woman, is going to be unique. So even if you had 10 "ascendant alphas" at a table, they might all have entirely different styles and personalities within that designation. That alone de-rails your question, but the same is true for all of the women they encounter.

Generally people are clueless. Traditional alphas are more obviously alpha, and ascendant alphas are more alpha. In either case, the woman must be aware of the man's alphaness and such before it makes a difference. That depends on various factors that will be determined by the individuals in play.

A poor traditional alpha, for example, might lose out to a rich ascendant alpha simply because the female(s) in question know he's rich. If the tables are reversed, the outcome might also be. Most women are not looking past their own nose when it comes to really valuing any particular man, and why should they, when they have armies of Betas AND PUAs trying to drown her in attention all day every day?

So it's not a question that you can answer as if all women respond the same to all men of one type. They don't.
