Yeah I’m with others, none of that stuff is alpha. It’s very traumatized behavior. That’s all fear based behavior. Basically stuck in fight mode 24/7. That’s exhausting to live like that.

There is also scientific reason to not be 24/7 in a fight mode. Your cortisol will rise and nonstop elevated cortisol will lead to damage to your body. For instance, you will have prematurely grey hair and this is just the top of the iceberg.
So the best way from a healthy perspective is to be a very calm and collected alpha who is emotionally stable and nothing can shake him.

Great reply!
To stay with the UFC example, think Khabib vs McGregor, in interviews and the actual fight.
One is a loud prick who (despite his skills) was extremely insecure bc he knew he was outclassed. Khabib on the other hand was more chill, cold and calculated, bc he was aware of his superiority.
Real ones don´t need to prove anything, they get shit done if needed.

Is this how alpha is being defined these days?
The question was which title is pure “fearless alpha”? None of those four characteristics shows fearlessness. What is the attitude of scared little boys who are trying to pick a fight with the world because they don’t know how to maturely navigate it. I’m surprised that Khan, Emperor Black or Emperor are being mentioned as the sub that leads to this attitude. “Don’t cross me or I’ll assault you”, is that what alpha is?

It’s called showmanship and entertainment, it sells tickets.
Not everyone who is loud is also insecure.
I´m aware that it´s also his business model (which obviously works pretty good for him), and I agree that not everybody who is loud is automatically insecure.
But there is a difference between being loud and being loud bc you have to overcompensate.
Im just saying that the example you gave is not so good, i agree with you that sometimes insecure people will overcompensate by being loud and aggressive but it’s not always true.
I myself can be loud and even a little but aggressive but it’s just my personality, im not insecure about being able to knock people out.

Like I´ve said, I don´t see being “loud” as negative in general, but when it´s used to hide insecurity. It just feels/looks differently.
Let´s take the fight against Aldo. He was also trash talking, dominating him in the interviews etc., but from what I´ve seen, his energy was different than how he approached Khabib. He radiated the “I´ve already won” vibe that was lacking against Khabib. And it showed in the cage. In the first he KOd his opponent before the fight even really started, in the second one he got outclassed and humiliated.
You have a point, versus aldo he was trash talking a lot but he had a lot of positive energy and happiness in his face, versus khabib he had negative energy and angriness on his face

I would go with Khan and Love Bomb for Humanity
The more a person loves and respects themselves the less they give off the vibe of being needy or someone that can easily be made a victim or taken advantage of. Maybe add in GLM Commander for a bit of extra oomph.
The willingness to walk away , actively avoid, or put yourself in a position where you can be a target says more about a person than anything else. Despite fantasies of being a " tough guy" it’s just not worth the time or effort. Seems like a lot of unnecessary work. It would be far easier and better just to work on your own frame and mindset than be concerned with the aura or whatever a person gives off.
The people that have to feel tough are generally the most insecure folks. Ones that call others “woke” or
" snowflakes" or whatever. It’s all projection of their own faults and insecurities

This entire thread is eye opening to something I observe much and sorry if it comes off rude but I’m not directing this at any one person.
When I first went to Thailand to train and fight 95% of the people that even entertained the idea of fighting (asking trainers straight up) had the same type mindset like the ones at the start of this thread
Insecurity this, insecurity that, they just couldn’t see that they talked about insecurity so much they look insecure. Their entire approach to fighting was “if we dissect what type of man people like most, we will win” but that’s not the cases
Most of them didn’t go through with fights because they were all generally not fighters, fighters train year around and they didn’t, the ones who fought got some retired Thai taxi driver and they won of course and found a new picture for their instagram of them with hands raised with some overused quote on instagram
And they never showed up again (the trainers will give you the first fight “free” usually against not a strong opponent as to not dissuade tourists)
They made me want to be the fearsome type of alpha more and more every day with this BS
Scary men exist EVERYWHERE. They’re around, they exist all over society and they have their own pros and cons just like being a soft spoken lover has pros and cons, mafia leaders and members are insecure? Bouncers and men who are intimidating for work are insecure? Literally any person in the army above a private is insecure? Sure if you really wanna find an angle to pin them that way but that’s just being an absolute jerk, you’re not helping anyone.
I have looked scary my whole life and I’m telling you my entire economy revolves around dudes calling me insecure and by some weird extension, getting their girl to like me more, or any other girl hearing them.
Stop the BS, scary type alphas are legit
what @Kronos did which is bring up some very specific example to prove that, somehow, “proves” that within the fighting world, everything follows anime rules, every single fight to ever exist is just a different manifestation of the trope in which - cocky bad man talk big, get ass kicked by gentle, humble opponent, Unga bunga, karma!
Cmooooon man…. Tyson was as ass, Floyd is an ass, Jon Jones is an ass, Mcgregor from your example is an ass and defeated many people, let’s stop zooming in one one example that proves “the moment you stop being humble, you lose” or
“Being humble is what defines a winner” Khabib is a spiritual man, he wins because he is a master fighter, that’s it… as a matter of fact… he played the “scary dont fuck with me” role
-
His entire beef with Connor began because he has his dudes literally slapped around one of Connor’s guys (he personally slapped him, since he’s the ring leader)
-
This is after he called Connor a chicken in a post fight interview in the octagon, saying he will basically eff him up
-
“I will smash his face”
He literally went after this fight with guns blazing.
In what world did he somehow embody this beacon of hope and light that apparently makes him a symbol of virtue, if he didn’t play the scary alpha type for over a year, he wouldn’t even have GOT the fight. So many fighters today are too nice and have no idea how to make noise or roleplay in order to get fights, they think they’re being Khabib when they act super nice and await opportunity but the truth is, most fighters (non top 10) are too passive and they think they clean cut, all gentlemanly and humble, then realize only after their drive in the sport died that they should have rustled more feathers, made some more noise, called out more people, and acted more crazy.
Your fearsomeness is a gift, you can harness it, the only thing stopping you is your own acceptance of that energy to come out.
As a matter of fact, we don’t have ENOUGH healthily scary men, because every time someone wants to embody that, instead of getting positive schooling, they have to run into some dude who’s like
“BUT tHAts InSEcUre”
Even the dating landscape is mild, full of men who will talk every girl’s ear off with “game” and textbook psychology.
Every single girl’s most repressed dream is being with a man that can scare other men, and this is the deep fear that’s causing this knee jerk reaction from men that dissuade other men from being scary.
Anyway …… my Combo to bring that essence out was immortal’s courage fearsome combo :)))

Nah haha I think this is a great thread i’m not trying to derail anything sorry if it has that effect.
I think HERO is actually an amazing definition of a FEARLESS alpha - that is different than someone that instills fear.

Completely wrong @Yazooneh. I´ve provided an example where
literally anhiliated his opponent.
And the strawman of
doesn´t work here. I´ve never stated that Khabib is “gentle” or “humble”.
I agree with being capable of being" brutal, loud, scary and fearsome", as long as it comes from feeling content, and not the need to do so.
The only point I´ve made.
I don´t see what´s so hard to understand about it.
Stop projecting the experiences you´ve had with others onto me.
Relax it’s not personal, I’m merely providing a counter point to the running logic.
I’ll project as much as I need to, as to create this balance thanks :).
But notice the game of nuance you keep tending to play, fear is okay if this and that. It doesn’t change the fact that scary men exist Bröther, most the undefeated dudes rn are Russian Muslims and I doubt they got to that status playing the safe game
Let go; let the lion out
