hbdchick passes along a photo of her favorite alpha male pose (and favorite alpha male, Steve MOTHERFUCKIN McQueen). I looked at it and, accepting the risk that the following judgment might imbue perceptions with a certain je ne sais queer, I concur, this pose is superlatively alpha.
Let’s examine in as normal and non-spergy a manner as possible what it is exactly about this pose that declares ALPHA in a deep, masculine, gravelly, yet single malt smooth seductive voice.
– Only half his body is engaged with her. The other half is turned away, as if he’s debating whether to devote his attention to her, or to bolt for the horizon and limitless freedom. Chicks dig men who aren’t fully domesticated committed (or can’t be).
– He’s looking down at her paternalistically. Show of dominance.
– He’s draped his arm over her shoulder, but lightly instead of possessively. Show of dominance + arousing display of non-neediness.
– Tousled bedroom hair. Chicks dig dudes who look like they just shagged an army of fembots. Preselection ftw.
– Is that a wedding band on his finger? I can’t tell, but the fact that it might be is catnip to girls who love the thought of a man who is both desired by women and nuptially attainable. Plus there’s the ugly fact that women LOVE LOVE LOVE stealing taken men.
– Short shorts accentuate the groinal bulge. Believe you me, girls check out the package. And they aren’t very sly about it. Once you’re alerted to the reality of women’s degenerate desires, you start noticing how often their eyes travel to the tip of your genetic spear.
– You don’t see her face. Her focus is totally on him, and her breasts are pressed into his chest. Her pose is almost as crucial to the perception of his super alphaness as is his pose. Again, preselection ftw. But not just any old preselection. LOVE preselection.
– He’s bending one knee. A subtle play on perception that he’s contemplating leaving her and going his own way. Or, that he’s about to set off on high adventure and take her along for the ride of her life. Either unspoken assumption is attractive to women.
– He’s holding onto a wall? refrigerator? as if he wants to go but she’s pulling him back into her orbit by force of her femininity. Plays on the female love of taming a wild, wandering man.
– “I think I’ll just graze your ass with my fingertips instead of hungrily paw at it like a lifelong incel.” A man who has plenty of women in his life demonstrates his sexual satiety with aloof gestures of detached self-control.
– Black and white photos will make any man appear more alpha (hint for you Facebook whores).
– She’s not a fat slob. Obviously, any man who can seduce a thin babe has something on the ball.
– He has a slightly annoyed expression. Chicks love it when men look a little pissed off, like they could fly off the handle at any moment.
– The composition of light and dark and focal length is a factor. Note that blurry, rumpled bedroom(?) scene, shrouded in shadow, in the background. What the female viewer’s mind concocts: Ooh, a den of iniquity! Naughty man. *TINGLE*
– Overall, the pose subcommunicates, “I just anally destroyed this woman, and now I’m kinda bored and want to get the hell outta here and hang with my buds, but goddamn her eyes are pretty.” ALPHA.
So, fellow gentlemen readers, if you want to cop this alpha male pose for yourselves, find a pair of vintage Ocean Pacific shorts, Dippity Do your hair with your fingers, swagger around in public shirtless, grab any nearby refrigerator, and lean away from it into the heaving breasts of a height-weight proportionate lover. Bonus alpha points if there’s a creepy mask symbolizing the peeping tom celibate omega male staring at you with seething envy.
UPDATE
It should also be pointed out that it appears McQueen is standing in the contrapposto pose, which has been proven by science to be attractive to women.
This thread should pwned by FX, EOF, RD, and Maya.

HERE IS DA GBFM’Z PREFERRED ALPHA MALE POSE lzozozozo
http://www.tysto.com/articles05/pics/king-kong_04.jpg
GB “KING DONG” FM lzozozozozoozozl
Holding onto a woman, but more concerned with something else off in the distance. Yes.
Firing up the race car for a bit of a go??
Am I the RD in question?
First off, that’s almost certainly a posed shot, not a candid snap. It may even be a publicity still or part of a celebrity magazine layout. It’s reminiscent of a lot of what you saw in 60′s-era “Life.” The lighting and composition look like something a talented photographer would need at least a couple of minutes to set up. If I’m correct about this, then you are seeing a very deliberate, carefully manicured representation of artless alpha.
Secondly…oh, honey, that is NOT a bulge. If scoping out celebrity bulges is your thing (NTTAWT), Google “Jon’s Hamm.” Apparently the graphic artists who do Mad Men’s publicity stuff have to Photoshop his bulge to make it smaller, because the reality is “too distracting.”
And while we’re on the subject of bulges (which, I should like to take this time to note, was brought turgidly to our attention by CH himself), I’m here to inform you that the bulge frequently doesn’t tell you much. There’s the whole “grower vice shower” issue, for one, which is a real phenomenon. Also, some very large men seem to make a habit of tucking the old pants python into the waistband of their briefs to keep it contained.
There’s really only one way to tell by looking at a clothed man just what caliber he’s packing, and it’s not an exact science.
Also, I don’t think his expression is “slightly annoyed.” His mouth is relaxed, lips slightly parted, eyes half-lidded. He looks moderately aroused to me, actually; that sort of determined, slightly stoned look some men get when the blood is rushing away from their brains with urgent business elsewhere.
Honestly, it has never even occurred to me to stare or even glance at a man’s package in public. I had no idea that you could divine any sort of information that way. I don’t even think I’ve ever tried to look at my boyfriend when we are out in public. I have noticed that I can see what’s going on when he is in the house wearing his underwear (tight boxers). I will be compelled to stare at it then because it’s rather a spectacle to behold. I mean, when it’s hard it’s huge but within the bounds of normalcy. When it’s not hard, it’s just about the same size and is comparitively huge times ten.
I have at some points in my life had conversations with girls about these matters, and I have never heard them say they stare at a guy that way. I am not sure if I am just ignorant, or if CH’s observations indicate that he is…ummm…a widdle bit *special*
You really can’t tell much by looking, unless he likes to meander around in sweatpants with no underwear on. And even then, all you’re seeing is what it looks like soft.
What you want to check out, if you’re curious, are their hands. Specifically, the dominant hand. You know that part of the palm that swells up on a vertical line below the pinky finger? The thicker that is, the thicker he is. (There’s no way to tell about the length. That stuff about shoe size is bullshit.) Learned that little trick from a gay boyfriend of mine and didn’t believe him at first, but time has revealed he was correct.
I asked him how he figured it out, and his response was, “Girl, I’ve shaken a LOT of hands.”
Holy mother of God, thank you. Like, that was the most useful thing I’ve learned in the last year. If this is true, like oh my god, I will buy you stuff you like.
Thickness is what matters more anyway. Now if I could only get an anciliary measure of hardness.
I mean, I like guys. Like I think they are human beings with personalities and the like. But damnit if I could just save myself some time and energy if I knew what was going on there to begin with.
Please, what other gems do your fellas with the sample size to know say?
All my GFs have told me I am very thick and I don’t think they were just trying to make me feel good. All the chicks who have blown me off without even experiencing my weiner are missing out.
I should add that I also have huge hands. I’m 5’11″ but I can palm a basketball. I mean I can seriously palm it and fake a shot like Jordan used to do–extend the ball out and pull it back with one hand.
The thing to remember is that it’s a relative, general measurement…a rule of palm, if you will. But it’s twoo, it’s twoo. As far as hardness, I’ve got nothing.
I do have a few other little tips,* but they’re a little graphic. You OK with that?
*see what I did thar?
Do I see what you did there? Huh? I’m like too curious to figure out what you’re talking about. Anyway, please, tell me more. If this stuff is true, it is pure gold.
Side note, like a retard, I used to just ask guys about what was happening down there in attempts to save myself some trouble. True Story. When I was like 22, I somehow thought asking these questions would be productive. Ladies, in case any of you could also be that dumb, no, not only will that not give you an accurate answer, it might not even give you any useful information. What dudes think about that issue and what is actually going on are two separate stories that may or may not have any intersection.
It was a penis joke.
OK…Stuff I Learned From Gay Guys That Really Works:
1. Most guys really hate spitting. If you can’t stand the taste, just take him all the way into the back and hold your breath, so it goes right into the back of your throat and bypasses your taste buds.
2. It is difficult to gag while the muscles you use to smile are engaged, so remember, “Service with a smile!”
3. If he’s taking too long and your jaw is getting tired, while you’re cradling the balls, angle your hand so your fingertips are pushing into the “taint” area and kind of massage that.
Where’s that one gay guy who posts on here sometimes, ChrisfromDublin?
*tom the democrat, furiously taking notes*
No, no, no. Thanks, but not suggestions like this. This is about stuff I could do for guys. These things are not secrets because men are simple creatures this way and you can simply ask them what they want from you and you will get an accurate answer. Like the genius under pinky thing, I need information that will help me assess what they will do for me.
Underwear? What the fuck does that mean?
I admit that I usually look, but it’s like a t-rex thing, not a size obsession. If it’s moving towards you, then you have a hard time avoiding looking at it.
I admit to having glanced by mistake, sometimes it is a very visible bulge. I try not to look though, it’s not really a good look for women to go looking at men’s down there area’s in public LOL
I really don’t think they mind.
The penis is the sexual barometer. Give it its due
And a woman’s hamster the anemometer. lulz
Sorry, but you don’t have one.
A boyfriend I mean.
Meh…. this punk would be pawned by Robert Mitchum who had more Alpha, style, class and Swag drippin from EVERY pore. Steve mcqueen is like a lower alpha (lesser alpha) while Bob Mitchum is THE ALPHA
http://www.trbimg.com/img-51b9eba3/turbine/la-man-of-steel-there-are-movie-alternatives-t-001/600
Robert Mitchum was indeed the man. He was a big stoner too and admitted it back then even. But no one thought he was anything but an intelligent and cultured badass. Bill Holden too. God where did they all go? Still Steve McQueen had swagger too. Sandpebbles is one of the best films from the 60s. Its in my top ten for sure of that time. Most of today’s actors are punks in comparison.
true… his game scenes from Out of The Past (1947) are dope. Classic and this coming from a guy who hasn’t even turned 18 yet … moi.
I like the cut of your jib.
Mitchum is more of an alpha to MEN;thats not exactly what we’re concerned about here! McQueen is da best! (NOTE:Given that Mitchum was a big,hulking,uhm,well,hulk-I guess his” knife edge” would be pretty formidable.)
Punk???
Whoa, take it easy there, kid… there’s room enough in the pantheon for ‘em both.
Check out the original The Getaway if you want to up the ante on McQueen. His scene were he draws the gun on McGraw rivals any alpha moment on screen.
And for a light-hearted spoof on alphadom, check out Mitchum’s I Remember Archie, his wingman being the inimitable Jack Webb, no stranger himself to the ranks.
Another forgotten gem is Soldier in the Rain… McQueen takes a bit of a backseat in that one to alpha Jackie Gleason, his sergeant and mentor in the flick. That one also co-starred his Cincinnati Kid squeeze, Tuesday Weld.

Steve mcqueen is certainly a royal badass. Check out this pic too.

It’s really not even fair. It’s freaking Steve McQueen. The guy takes a dump cool. I actually read some of your summary differently. To me it looks like he just ripped her and her girlfriends up the night before, just awoke and went to the fridge where one of his pigeons is stopping him to bask in his awesomeness.
His entire stance is, I just want some dam milk, but I guess I have to give you some sign of effection this morning considering I just blew a load on you and your friends last night. In a second, I’ll resume doing whatever the hell I want.
FYI, Steve McQueen had a rather modest package. A car blog called Jalopnik exposed it to the world a few years ago. Not what most were expecting.
I wasn’t expecting anything…
You fairy.
1. I’m somewhat ashamed I actually searched for “Steve Mcqueens Penis” 2. A flaccid penis does not size judgement make. Ever hear grower and not a shower?
To save anyone else the search embarrassment, here is the NSFW article.
here is the NSFW article.
Also I must mention… I do like his legs
That’s a fake, and not even a very convincing one. I’ve seen that same image on an old poster and he’s holding a cigarette.
Ive never heard of steve mcqueen. Bad?
Very. Check out Bullit, the Sand Pebbles, and Tom Horn for starters.
Wha? No love for The Magnificent Seven?
Also, the Great Escape.
That was a great movie. He was exasperatingly alpha. I watched it with a female friend and could almost hear her tingles tingling. She couldn’t stop talking about him afterwards. (“He’s just so … so … American! Jesus!”)
Love with the Proper Stranger?
Leave it to Kate to induce that Debbie Downer trumpet sound.
Robert Evans, famed Hollywood producer and “legendary cocksman” according to the Austin Chronicle, lost his wife, Ali MacGraw, to McQueen. Here is Evans imparting some wisdom.
Butt hurt vagina with a penis for a covering was the impression I got.
No.Evans was a very cool guy,did a lot of great stuff. Worked his way into H’wood as an actor by fucking powerful women. Helped to birth The Godfather. His breakthrough was the realization that people were sick of looking at Jews playing Italian mobsters. (Kirk Douglas for one) They wanted fucking Italians. So he gave them dagos and the world has never been the same. (‘Course James Caan was a jew but with a bit more T than,say,John Podhoretz.)
Ali MacGraw lost her mind over Steve McQueen- she was poised to become a huge star after “Love Story” but he wouldn’t allow her to take jobs or outshine him as a star- became abusive, but by all accounts she lapped it up and didn’t leave him til many years later.
Ali MacGraw was such a beauty! #girlcrush
Time is a cruel uhm,what? Cruel mistress? Cruel thing? Time is cruel…
Every morning, Robert Evans had his butler serve him breakfast in bed. According to their arrangement, under his teacup would be a slip of paper with a woman’s name written on it. That was the name of the girl sleeping next to him.
That’s a serious abundance mentality.
It looks to me he is very disinterested. Like he has one arm around her but it is unfeeling, as though he is doing her a favor. She is trying to connect with him but he doesn’t want, he doesn’t care he just wants to open the fridge. Also the way he is looking at her, isn’t very lovely.
But most men I think are probably like this. It is beautiful that you can her total devotion to him, both arms are around him and she is looking up at him in admiration.. not that you can see her face, but that is what I imagine.
His hands are nice too. he’s got man-hands.
I have his exact body including huge hands. We should meet up.
lol
Please, put it back in the grave. It is a bit moldy by now.
Read somewhere once that Charles Bronson, on the set of a film, went up to another actor and said “I’m going to marry your wife”. The wife was Jill Ireland, and sure enough Bronson married her.
Alpha.
The broad is his wife.
[CH: Doesn’t make a difference.]
I didn’t say it did..
He still looks like he can’t figure out who the fuck she is.
+1 lulz
She basically made his career — meaning that he’s the alpha male version of a golddigger hitting it big. There is no way in which being alpha isn’t better than being beta.
Hate to burst some bubbles here, but if “badass” means “little man complex” and “wife beater”, then McQueen IS the poster boy. Dude was a weenie, and compensated for it his whole life — hence his interest in cars, guns and women. My wife* knew him back in the day, and she loathed him.
And yes, that’s a posed photograph, so credit goes to the photographer. Other than his racing pics, most of them were posed back then. But this one’s a nice example of alpha attitude, even if fake.
And yes, men should be aggressive around women; but beating them (regardless of “provocation”) is really psycho.
*my wife = 6’1″ redhead, btw.
[CH: Chicks dig overconfident men.]
I stopped reading after your first sentence. Typical denial by a woman who will tell her beta orbiters that she likes sensitive guys, then go get bent over their worst enemies couch for “God worship” that she will spend a lifetime trying to forget.
If McQueen was so terrible, why did so many women want to play the stripper on his personal strippers pole? Even after his death.
Think about it.
Kim’s a man. And, if it’s the real Kim du Toit, kind of a badass.
[CH: Chicks dig overconfident men.]
This can be true. One time I was in a place and many men paid me compliments. They told me I am beautiful. I was so happy and flattered. But one man was listening and observing, and the other man turned to him and said “Look, she is like a rose”.. and the man shrugged and laughed, and said “She is like Shrek”. I was shocked how this man could be so outright rude. But I must admit I was intrigued. After I asked him why he said something so rude, and he just laughed and didn’t give me a direct answer. I will never forget this.
Thereby again proving CH writes truth. You were negged. Look it up, toots.
This is why we keep her around… her stream of consciousness tells are the best counters to Team Naysayer.
Yes but actually we got talking and it turns out he was lovely after the initial shrek comment.
You wear too much fucking makeup. When I cum on your face I want to know my cum is soaking into your skin, not sitting on top a layer of foundation.
I can assure you you will never be cumming on my face.
I don’t wear so much make-up. what makes you think that?
On my gravatar there is I think 4 photos of me, but in only one of them I am wearing foundation.
I’m a gonna fucka you ina dee assess. Gonna getta you assa pregnent
Just like a woman to come into the men’s locker room uninvited and incorrectly correct us on something. The title of this post was “The Alpha Male Pose” not “How to be a good man” or “What would make Kim happy and shut her pie hole”.
Get that? How to pose! Bust bubbles incorrectly some place else.
Kim du Toit is a man. Something of a celebrity in certain circles as well.
McQueen is the legend/celebrity and bad-ass. du Toit’s a nobody. As for the “my wife/my cousin/my hairdresser” knew him stories, there are just as many accounts that McQueen wasn’t the monster that some portray him. In fact, a commenter on the DailyMail story was McQueen’s body-double, and his accounts of McQueen were totally different.
Also, if McQueen’s childhood was half as bad as it says in the DailyMail article, it’s amazing he didn’t end up in jail or dead by the time he was 25. Kudos to him for being one of the finest actors in the 60s/70s, and a bad ass right up there with my man, Clint E.
He did end up in jail. He grew up in a juvenile detention center and then spent a month and a half in a Marine brig before straightening out.
Victoria Justice, 20 years old, is a true 10. Easily. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JANLPh-WYog Check out this song she wrote just for betas. zlozlzozlzozo
OK, but I meant long, hard prison time. He ended up saving 5 men’s lives in the Marines later on.
“… Dude was a weenie, and compensated for it his whole life — hence his interest in cars, guns and women…”
Most men love cars, guns and women.
and motorcycles. dude liked cars, guns, women, & motorcycles. what a faggot.
I know right. Why didn’t he just go shopping with his wife all the time
Well, the point is that getting into the necessary attitude and maybe even standing in that pose exudes “Alpha”.
But yeah McQueen was a cunt. And overrated, I’d say.
“” Dude was a weenie, and compensated for it his whole life —hence his interest in cars, guns and women””
Say it aint so. Not cars ,guns and women? You mean no chickbook, iphones and latte’s? This is an outrage!!
If you’re the real Kim du Toit, I used to follow your blog. Good to see you in the Manosphere.
Sal jy die Boere kom lei?
Ironically I’ve been wearing 80′s shorts for about 2 years now and chicks stare at my package like crazy and also wonder wtf does this guy think he is that he can walka round in short shorts not giving a shit. Bangs sealed on many occasions.
Navy SEALs still wear the training shorts that would make Daisy Duke blush.
Takes a confident, in shape man to pull them off.
Swimmers and water polo players rock the speedos. It’s all in the attitude (and, yeah, not being a fatass).
Between the never ending parade of Man Legs and very loud cars with no power steering, I imagine the 70′s to be a very unsettling time.
Rock the speedos?
Geez… you fairy.
Steve McQueen beat and kicked his pregnant wife, he was a piece of shit. We can learn to be “Alpha” from far better men. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2057769/Steve-McQueen-Wife-beater-drug-taker-relentless-philanderer-brutal-truth-actor.html
[CH: Chicks dig jerks.]
Again, another reading comprehension fail like Kim’s above; the post is “The Alpha Male POSE.” Does the article succeed in living up to the title Nick? Yes. It’s how to pose alpha, not live alpha. Pose!
My reading comprehension is fine thanks aloof, just wanted to scratch 1mm beneath the surface of the “pose” and the mentality of the man it came from.
Yeah CH, chicks dig jerks, but McQueens behavior sounds like it got pretty needy and desperate, putting a gun to your pregnant wife’s head asking if she’s ever had an affair while banging everything you can and rubbing her face in it, for what, fun? It’s an odd way to mate guard, since he wanted her to get an abortion. Guess its a testament to the dark triad’s power. Think there’s room for a more sophisticated understanding of the varieties of “alpha”, for every enviable one there’s a piece of garbage.
Nick, Steve wasn’t the guy who hurt your mom. Take it down a notch.
Touche’
CH, did you see the 1st witness in the Zimmerman trial testified that she cannot read cursive? She’s 19. She can also barely speak. She is literally a neart mute, not because of being a mute, but simply from having an IQ of about 70. No lzozlzolzozlzozlz. Tragic. She gets to vote, same as you. I’m sorry, but just look at her. She very clearly resembles a gorilla, much more so than a normal white person. Libs who try to force the idea that we are all the same are just flat crazy or evil. Think about what white people have accomplished from 1866 until 2013? Now compare the “progress” of black Americans during that same timeframe. We went from horse-and-buggy to iPhones and the internet.

dude, you dont understand alpha.
the wage of a beta
“As far as Steve McQueen was concerned, Ali was better off barefoot and pregnant, serving him up meat and potatoes at 6pm precisely, which he’d devour alone in front of the TV.
Which is why the star of Love Story and Goodbye Columbus simply stopped making movies for five years.
No one could understand why the sophisticated former model, at the peak of her career, had chosen to marry McQueen, whose antediluvian attitudes to the female sex were widely known.”
Betas and leftoids wept.
mood disorder as evidenced by inability to stop smoking/wife beating died horrible death lung cancer. still wish i looked half that good.
For the record, his lung cancer was more probably caused by ignorance about some asbestos-like substance that car racers used to dip their masks in.

More points:
He’s fit, with a “I don’t work out, I just live this way” body – flat stomach, sculpted arms, but not the 0% bodyfat or hyper muscularity of a body builder.
The mostly closed eyes, like the tousled hair, scream “rode her hard, and put her away wet”.
The mouth. It’s complicated. Is he pouting? Is he saying something? Is he happy? Upset? Wimmin gonna find drama, or make it.
He was a “Marine” in his youth, which lent some credibility to his war-flick posturing.
jesus fucking god damned mutherfucking christ CH read this one. http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/27/living/cnn-parents-dads-clorox/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I’m just so sick of it. The REALITY is that new mothers are women who are clumsy and previously could not keep a goldfish alive for more than a day and the caring (white) dad is constantly the only one who is in constant protection mode about htings like her not letting the baby fall off of the changer and stuff like that. most people have scars from their mothers letting them do things like put their hands under treadmills when they were babies.
Funny shit right here…this blog cracks me up
Womyn/womon here! He’s hot!
But I always thought Steve McQueen was that car from the cars cartoon…
LOL
And it looks like the girl doesn’t really have a waist
Yeah, I’m disappointed in his choice. My wife looks way better from behind, and I’m not a movie star.
Yeah she should invest in a corset
Death, taxes, and the pointy-elbow brigade.

“How did she make out in the divorce?” I asked my friend.
“All I know,” she revealed, “Is that the husband made her include her Birkins as part of the settlement.” She added: “At the current retail price.” Bien sur!
Aw, geez… too rich.
And here I always thought contrapposto, like Michaelangelo’s David, was the ultimate alpha pose.
I am Zenith, Ohio, having returned to help my old man in his final days. 40 years ago my brothers and I saw “Le Mans” at a local theatre, now mothballed. The movie featured innovative hood cams which I think Steve put a lot of effort into. After it finished, the entire audience was racing each other Le Mans-style down the street.
Off-topic but recalling our recent dicussion of Pubic Mons; can any of the French readership provide geological significance to the naming of the town Le Mans?
from infoplease :
Mans, Le (lə mäN) [key], city (1990 pop. 148,465), capital of Sarthe dept., NW France, on the Sarthe River. The historical capital of Maine, it is also an important manufacturing, commercial, educational, and communications center. Its service industries, especially insurance, are important. Le Mans, which dates from pre-Roman times and before Charlemagne was a Merovingian capital, has witnessed frequent sieges and battles throughout its history. The Cathedral of St. Julien du Mans (11th–13th cent.), which contains the tomb of Berengaria, queen of Richard Cœur de Lion (Richard I of England), is partly Romanesque; its Gothic part has perhaps the most daring system of flying buttresses of any Gothic cathedral. Le Mans was the birthplace of Henry II of England and John II of France. Today, Le Mans is famous for its annual international auto race, which is run on local roads.
It seems (I wikied all that) that it was formerly known as “Civitas Cenomanum” or “Civitas Cenomanensis” (the town of the Cénomans, a Gallic tribe) around 56 BC, then the name evolved to Celmans, Cel Mans, and finally Le Mans (first use of “Mans” is estimated around the 12th century as far as I can tell).
If you can read French: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mans#Toponymie
Speaking of old school culture, check out his Bobbie Gentry routine. I dimly recall actually seeing it when it aired on TV’s “Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour”. (there were only 3 channels back then)

Try before you buy. Every single guy on the planet is going to tell you to get a S&W hammerless airweight revolver chambered in .38. And it’s true that there are valid reasons why a person would want to carry one: ease of loading/unloading, size conducive to carry, easy to use in a stressful situation (no external safety devices), etc. But they’re murder to shoot, even with light loads, and they’re not very accurate. So get to a gun range where you can rent guns and try a variety of pieces in .380, .38, 9mm, and, yes, .45. (10mm/.40 offers an extremely sharp recoil and not a lot of benefit in terms of terminal performance. It’s really not for beginners.) The good news is that, as a woman, you do have the option of purse carry, so you don’t have to limit yourself to micropistols.
And yes, I know you’re a purse girl. The carry purses have come a LONG way. Check out Coronado Leather for some surprisingly decent-looking options.
A female giving advice on firearms is kind of like…
….Greg Eliot discoursing on black superiority?
Matt King lecturing us on how man evolved from apes?
Thwack praising white supremacists?
PetiteOlive affirming that it’s a waste to spend more than $200 on a handbag?
Etc…
Any bets on how long it will be before P.O. divorces this beta and takes him to the cleaners?
And as for thoughts…I’m thinking you conned him into marriage after losing your job at your last law firm.
But hey, you still have a $3,000 handbag, right?
haha I love you and your predictable replies/comments. I have a new job!….unfortunately internet activity is monitored at this firm (reason why I am scarce around this parts these days)!!! Stay fly/happy/gettingtonsofpoon/whateveryourheartdesires. xoxo
Congratulations, Olive! That is wonderful news
(I think?) Just say no to robbery and murder 
I had no idea that contrapposto was a thing. In every picture from me as a wee child to today, I am basically standing like that. Good to know.
legs apart, thumb hooked into your pocket with the fingers/palm of said hand pointing at your mule. feet apart, resting all your weight on the leg on the same side of above mentioned pocket. other leg should be pointing around 10:00.
google the “the david” and you’ll seesaid pose in the picture of the masterpiece by Michaelangelo. or picture a cowboy in a saloon leaning against the bar.
Alpha: contrapposto
Beta: constipatto
+1
Actually, it’s costipato.
Certain you’re right, but I like how the other spelling brings “constipation” to mind. And everybody knows that pooping is alpha. I even installed a chronograph in my toilet.
I was hoping someone would get the reference.
Fear makes you clench it up. Betas live in fear. Relinquishing my constant litany of fears has been the most masculating thing I’ve done.
What I really like about the old school movie star tough guys was they seemed more authentic. McQueen, Eastwood, Caine, Bronson, these guys seemed like real men. They weren’t buff and cut however they weren’t fat slobs, they had a masculine body while not giving into feminine vanity. Their tough guy status was achieved through their character’s actions, mannerisms and words.
In Hollywood today I think it’s necessary that action heroes must have Adonis physiques to compensate for their lack of real masculine energy since it’s been effectively socially outlawed due to the PC overlords.
the chick appears to be a 7 or so (from the back. ha). its much easier to be aloof around such a woman than it is around a 9 with a fat ass. but good enough post anyway, i get the point.
Guess who?

Once again, Hugo fabricating preposterous anecdotes about “older men” macking on young women.
Another lonely hamster tries to rationalize her ” amazing body “. How cute …
http://villainouslove.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/my-body-is-amazing/
Fat lonely feminist chicks are the most delusional
At least she has a waist… if them torpedoes can balance out the starboard side, I’ll board ‘er with guns a-blazin’!
Aw, hell, all I saw was the monochrome pic… if that bride o’ Frankenstein main shot is her, all bets are off… tits too small for the frame, and tattoos are always a deal-breaker… especially there…. sigh.
That is him with his Wife.
Your gravatar has nipples.
What can I say? Some got it…some got it all.
[…] The Alpha Male Pose […]
Fox news Greg Gutfeld must of checked out the manosphere blogs because id never seen him talk about Alphas,betas,omegas,misandry and making fun of feminist garbage. hmmm maybe?
Tip for posture: get a standing desk
I’ve noticed when I stand for extended periods at my standing desk, I naturally take up a contrapposto pose and it helps develop good posture overall. YMMV
It kinda helps if you’re Bullit.
Interesting.
Excellent analysis. Seeing this , reading other posts…this shit is too easy. Seriously my fellow men! Believe in your selves. It is easier than one might think. Never doubt yourself. Never.
Since Facebook party photos are now so prominent I’m now very conscious of how I sit and stand or if girls ask to pose with me, how I look.
This helps when new girls I add as friends troll through those photos and it paints a picture of someone they want to bang vs someone who’s the goofy try-hard party hound…
Alpha.
See the contrast between alpha and beta:
I love the facial expression “ugh, what [the fuck do you want?]“
I never comment on this blog but I had to share my personal story of Steve McQueen. I was hired at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in the late 1970s. My first job was to deliver phone messages to rooms. The messages were in envelopes. I would slip each message under the door, and give a slight knock at the bottom of the door to draw attention to the message for anyone who happened to be at home.
At the end of the day, Mac — my kindly, well-mannered, supervisor — called me aside and told me that Steve McQueen had called the front desk to demand that I be fired. The phone message I had delivered was from Girlfriend A and had been found and read by Girlfriend B. Steve McQueen had a standing order that phone messages were never delivered to his room so that he could avoid this very problem. He always picked up his messages at the front desk.
Mac told Steve McQueen that he would fire me. Of course Mac realized that I didn’t know any better and that Steve McQueen had not actually seen me, and so I was not fired. Steve McQueen continued to live there (in a large suite at the end of a hallway), and I never saw him in the few months of my employment at the hotel, but he was well known for having a steady stream of attractive women visit his suite.
And that was while he was battling cancer? Dude!
At this time, he just had a persistent cough and had not been diagnosed with cancer.
Italian Mistress
An Italian husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open-mouthed kiss, then says she’ll see him later and walks away.
The wife glares at her husband and says, “Who was that?”
“Oh,” replies the husband, “she’s my mistress.”
“Well, that’s the last straw,” says the wife. “I’ve had enough, I want a divorce!”
“I can understand that,” replies her husband, “but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club. No more credit card and large Bank accounts. But…. The decision is all yours.”
Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous babe on his arm.
“Who’s that woman with Tony?” asks the wife.
“That’s his mistress,” says her husband.
“Ours is prettier,” she replies.
we can’t post the word fuck on CH any longer?
what the hell? f.u.c.k turned into jibb
how about shit?
wow. i think it’s my internet connection blocking certain words like fvck and sh!t. talk about censorship at the deepest level.
are you serious CH? this is a modeling shot for godsakes… is this how you expect us to run our lives? seriously? lol…
There is a lesson in this video for beta males:

What? Don’t approach single mothers? lzozlzozlozlzozz
Thread winnah.
Lol… don’t approach single mothers… no matter how alpha you wuz.
There’s a reason single moms are easy (= low value).
These two don’t seem to be in love. He should be hugging her, then they would look much better. Please post more pictures of loving couples composed of alpha guys and feminine women.
Is love supposed to have anything to do with this blog?

James Woods? His knife edge must be huge!
Never heard of Steve McQueen but I’ll tell you what happened to me last night. Dora, my fiancee, and I got in a fight over the tv. I told her I wanted to watch the baseball game but she reminded me that I agreed that I’d never make her watch sports. Yet after a hard day at the office engineering solutions for customers all I wanted to do was destress and drink an artisinal beer and watch the game. Dora and I don’t normally get in fights but this time I said screw it and went by myself to a nearby sports bar to watch the damn game by myself dammit.
I sat in front at the bar in front of the big screen trying to focus on the game when a couple of girls sat right next to me. Now dammit last thing I wanted was more girls around to ruin my fun watching the game so (I had a few artisinal beers in me at this point) I told the girls to get lost. One of the girls said “Um, EXCUSE me. What did you say?” “I said get lost” I says. “I’m trying to watch the game.”
“Was there someone sitting here?” She says.
“No, go away.” I says.
“Well, we’re going to step outside and smoke she says, but then we will be back and we will sit right here.”
So I try to watch the game and these fucking bitches come back.
And my worst fears were realized. The bitches started asking me questions about the game I was hoping to watch without distraction. At some point bitch #1 stopped talking about the game and started asking personal questions like do I have a a girlfriend. At that point I left and went to another sports bar to watch the end of the game.
When I got home Dora was already asleep and I didn’t feel like going to bed and spent a long time sitting on the sofa thinking the future.
You mildly droll fairy.
Yes, Luke…feel the power surging within you…
This is very off-topic but I am hoping somebody can provide a serious answer. Do “players” ever fall in love? If they meet the right woman can they settle down.. even if they have come to an older age? A man that has been with so many women, can he ever get used to being with just one and marry and make family with her? Or will his head and heart forever remain in game-mode? I would appreciate a serious answer.
In my experience, men do appreciate more than woman.
Afterall, the amount of rejections on default by the average male, do give men humility in comparison with the appreciation an average woman would receive.
And yes, it can happen. The woman must be something very special though and considering the reality of things, the % and odds aren’t in their favor.
About marriage and family, that’s subjective. Depends…some like me love children and some like some of my friends are happy without the baggage as they call it.
My $0.02.
Men who are actually players in the way that they have access to many women can fall in love. Just don’t get your friend’s hopes up for monogamy.
Players who learned the game late or as a reaction to heartbreak just get jaded (unless they have balanced supervision in their training). The reason why is because somewhere along the way, before they met whoever broke their heart, their manhood was already broken. So they resent having to be the man, even in relatively common beta ways. It makes them angry that they have to be decisive, or territorial and yet self contained in proper balance.
I am working with a friend of the latter sort. It is difficult for me, as a woman, to help him to keep perspective and not truly see the women he’s gamed as tools. So I bring in the second husband to help. We’d like to see him find someone worth committing to, and not screw that up when he does, since this is what he says he wants.
It is really hard for a guy who has to learn it rather than being raised in it to stay balanced for the same reason the “born again” are often more crazed and fanatical than those raised in a faith. Their worldview concerning women has been radically shifted.
“I live for myself and I answer to nobody.”
