The AMOG: The Asshole Male of the Group
Yes, I know that AMOG is supposed to stand for Alpha Male of the Group, but I just had to write about this.
As I'm meeting more and more newbies in the Community, I'm finding that their interpretation of the term, "alpha," is usually way off base. I'm finding that the commonality associated with these Asshole MOGs is that they tend to be the ones that have been introduced to the Community through Style's book. Granted, my introduction into the Community was from Style's book, but I didn't act like hot shit after reading it. My real introduction was thanks to OCWaterBoy and Grungey10. Anyway, after reading Style's book, many of these newbies try to emulate the principles outlined in the book and fail miserably at it. These are guys that have little to no field experience and are generally real world social retards. Essentially, they lack the general social skills required to succeed and when they try to act "cool," they come out acting like assholes. It is a result of years and years of being not well-calibrated and trying too hard to impress those PUAs who have established themselves in the Community.
Let me say this here, "alpha" does not mean asshole. You can be a nice, friendly person and still be the best alpha out there. "Alpha" is being confident, decisive, and showing leadership. It does not mean being closed-minded, talking shit, or cutting down other PUAs or guys in your group. That shit just won't fly. If you want to succeed and be respected in the Community, you need to have your head on straight and learn from those around you who are better than you. You end up hurting yourself if you try to cut them down. I'm not writing this post to complain about attacks on me, but moreso based on the comments made about some of my good friends who happen to be PUAs.
Truly high value or "alpha" guys don't need to try to be "alpha." They just are and it is part of who they are. The best way to become "alpha" is to watch others in the Community who are successful and truly "alpha." Emulate what they do and try it out in the field. That is the best way to learn and change how people see you. Anything else will end up in failure.
Before saying something, be sure to check your ego at the door. Otherwise, you end up making yourself look like an idiot and everyone will see right through your facade to the LSE person you truly are.
