Thanks bro!
You know Gaming Mastery would be an awesome sub to test out in ZP build tech… Imagine running that for a week or 2 and going to play in a CoD tournament for money and crushing the competition lol or fortnite or any competitive games.

Primal Seduction is better for testing since it builds the foundations too. Remember, it’s about testing not about tailoring a full-fledged product to your clients’ needs.
I just read an article on the differences between alphas and betas, and came to the (not so, really) shocking conclusion that I’m way more beta than I even thought I was.
I’m eagerly watching the test results for ZP, as the more successes it racks up the closer I can (fingers crossed!) get to a ZP custom with Ascension (or Emperor), GLM., Lion IV and a few other ones I need.

Everyone overcomplicates this concept. Yes, there are behaviors that are considered more masculine than others, but I’ve observed that the biggest difference between an “alpha” and a “beta” is their propensity toward taking on risk.

Yep, that was the core of the article! Everything comes down to the level of discomfort you’re willing to take on… in enforcing boundaries to stand up for yourself, to trust your own goals over what you “should” do with your life, and of course with taking responsibility for what happens.
It just had a few examples that seemed to be plucked right out of my own life… all beta examples, sadly lol.

Sent! My intent in not posting here was to not derail this thread, but if more people ask then I’ll have inadvertently done that all the same. 
We all have those moments, but keep in mind that it’s about balance also. In a group dynamic, someone who is overly “alpha” will eventually be ousted by the group. Someone who is overly “beta” will be abused and used by the group.
Your goal is to find a balance that’s not only authentically you, but also brings about the life you want.
Alphaness is also situational. You can be an alpha in one place, but not one in another. It’s what I was telling that individual the other day — he may work in finance and do well and be the aggressive alpha there, but here, all that aggression makes you low status, as that’s not what integrates a person into this community.
So try not to be so hard on yourself. Focus on where you’re going in the future, not what you were in the past. I just had a conversation with the lady last night about this. She was upset because something I did reminded her of a huge argument we had two years ago. Rather than trying to rationalize what happened back then, I simply told her that I was a drastically different person then and so was she, and I’m not going defend or attack that person I no longer knew.
You’re a dynamic system, capable of growth. Don’t “cancel” yourself for mistakes made in the past.

This is really an interesting take. My latest custom is very focused on increased risk taking. Which Q modules and cores would you go for for someone with a very risk averse/play it safe personality?
Some of the modules I went for were:
Stark
Ascension
Courage Reclaimed
Divine Self-Image
Furious Ascent
Tyrant

Could you send it to me as well? 
The irony of how wanted this link has become is not lost on me… lol.
Saint is right, it’s definitely about balance. I’ve just come to believe that I’ve swung far too much to the beta side as a whole, and I need to address that.

Be careful not to swing too far into the other side then to compensate for the past.
Exactly what I did. Also called “The Abyss” after the Red Pill.
Be VERY careful of that.
After all, any label you put on yourself is a cage for your mind. Don’t narrow your outlook on life. Be an individual.

I’m very mindful of moderation, that’s why I stopped running Emperor when I observed how I acted on it. I’ve just been disappointed in myself for my reactions to certain things lately, I’ve let people push me around too much because I felt that I deserved it. Long story behind that, which I won’t get into here.
I’ve got no desire to go “full alpha”… I just need to find my center again.

The idea of being the alpha that is the dominant:
1 It can take a lot of energy.
1a You have to maintain that position.
2 If you’re #1, someone else is coveting that position. So sleeping with 1 eye open might become a habit.
3 If your popularity wanes, the group can turn against you.
4 Personally I don’t want that kind of “responsibility”. I’d rather have other people leading their own lives as they see fit rather than deferring to me for absolute advice.
Just my musing.
