    ok so we get to the whole Ego versus Conscience debate again.
    All this talk of alpha this and beta that becomes a bit tiresome.

    Who is more of an 'Alpha Male'?
    The loud obnoxious, know-it-all, assertive, bullying asshole?
    or the
    Quietly confident, socially comfortable, independent man?

    The whole pick up arena is merely a facade, an put-on act to 'trick' women into bed. I believe that it springs from a fundamental lack of self-esteem and an addictive need for social acceptance. Instead, men should focus on the greater aspects of life..adventure, travel, the pursuit of knowledge. Women will naturally follow. Nothing more unattractive than someone whose focus is on "getting some". For one thing, it is very immature.

    As I recall one woman saying "All the real men are climbing mountains and swimming oceans", not practicing routines and value-elliciting techniques with the primary purpose of NEEDING to get laid.

    For me personally, my focus is on trying to determine what my PURPOSE in life is. I am 29 now, working in a job that I like/tolerate, but feel that I can offer more to the world. I am not religious but from a spiritual perspective I believe that is what we all truly want to seek out. PURPOSE. Confidence springs from having purpose.

    Although it exists in many different forms the greatest piece of advice is essentially

    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
    Treat people well and you will be treated well. Be it with women or with work colleagues. it really is the attitude to face life with.

    When you are spiritual your primary purpose is to be in the now. Outer purpose is secondary.

    The author doesn't say that in order to be alpha you must be loud, obnoxious or a bullying asshole. Being alpha comes from assertiveness, seeing the world through your eyes,personal boundaries (internal and external) and core confidence.
