My sense is that to win this game, you have to be able aknoweledge the reality or truth of situation so that you can make the best decisions. Kind of like playing Poker and having the ability to see all the cards- you'd have the option of making the most optimal decisions.

I believe that understanding the Alpha/Beta dichotomy has opened my eyes in a way that has helped my game. But, I think I might be romanticizing or idealizing the Alpha in an unrealistic way.

So, I now find myself asking: which is more believable, the 24/7/365 Alpha or Superman/Clark Kent?

I relate more to Superman/Clark Kent. I spend most of my time on either one or the other ends of the spectrum, specifically the Clark Kent side. And then I once in a while I pull some crazy Superman shit like having a threesome on Satnight/Sunday morning and then picking up and fucking a different girl off the street that Sunday evening).

Does anyone else relate to this? I can feel myself getting more Alpha in general. Don't know if it's from age/experience, or from getting into game. However, I'm having trouble imagining being A-1 Alpha all the time.

If you are 24/7 Alpha, and you've gotten there through the conscious application of game, I'm curious to know:

How long did it take?
Do you get afraid of sliding?
Is it lonely at 'the top' ?

Clark Kent/Superman is way more believable. I don't believe you can be 'alpha' all the time. Also chicks don't dig Mr. Stoic Alpha 24/7, there's a balance (check: vulnerability game).

You can definitely weed out a lot of your unattractive behaviours and really start to get on your grind and things will pick up. But you'll still have moments of weakness, indecision and struggle.

I believe heavily in aloofness, going for what you want first, but once she's attracted or in a relationship you can balance being more open and saying what you want in Non-needy ways.
