The Train that Could

[WildFlower]

Yes I was thinking along those same lines. I'm not sure whether or not Shannon is still making the 2011 Alpha Set but in either the case I'm interested in trying either the 2010 or 2011 set going into next year.

Wildflower, with the 2009 set, did you encounter the "jerk syndrome"? I read about it on the product description and it kinda got me worried because I don't want to burn too many bridges while using that sub.

Yeah, I'm using the 2009 version - I just missed the 2010 version. If I ever re-use the Alpha set in a year or two's time I'll use the current version. If you buy the Alpha set once, you get the newest version half price.

You won't burn any bridges that you won't have or want to, and you certainly won't be worried about it if it comes to it. It is the first 2 stages of the set that bring about the "jerk syndrome". By stage 3 things are calming down, stage 4 they have gone and by stage 5 and 6 you are far less of a jerk then you ever have been. A very pleasant Alpha.

Honestly you won't have anything to worry about. You will just find yourself much less tolerant of people treating you with lack of respect - nothing even mildly disrespectful will go unnoticed from your watchful eye. You'll probably find yourself hotter blooded and irritated, impatient and annoyed at things before that haven't bothered you, but none of this need lead you to be a "jerk". With self control it is easy to keep everything in check and all in your head. Any friction between people is more likely to be a result of a change in your body language, walk, demeanour and presence. A sudden huge surge in confidence may raise a few eyebrows, but people have a short term memory and will very quickly forget that you've ever behaved any differently and just accept the new confident you.

I burnt zero bridges, but there was a bit of a arm wrestle as I out alpha-d previously more alpha friends and other alpha males. They are all still my friends now. Better friends if anything.
