Dating School: Qualities Of A Modern Day King: Part One

Words from a woman

Good morning, cupcake!

For a high value man ~ and his female admirers ~ the most distinguished and glittering kind of personality for a man is to be a king.

Kings of nobility used to wear crowns, and the serried ranks of the people they controlled could be drawn up before their palaces.

However, most of the kings of that sort today exist only as museum pieces.

Furthermore, our current kings of nobility are not as powerful as they used to be ~ and crowns have gone out of fashion, like wigs.

The new king

Today we have a new kind of king.

The new kind of king is the masculine and high value man ~ and the true alpha male. (Not the pseudo type of “alpha” you find in online seduction communities. *Wink*)

This is the man who has character (the backbone of a king,) and who has acquired…

Real Men Don’t Get ‘Offended’

Originally posted on An American Point of View:

Great article ….

“That’s offensive!”  … said no great man, ever.

Ah, the year 2015. We find ourselves at the perfect intersect of political correctness, tolerance, and “white male privilege.” Legend has it that at this crossroad you can sell your soul to a transgendered devil for reality TV fame and fortune. What an enlightening time to be alive.

All of these things are not only mildly annoying, but have actually led us to the precipice of man. Men no longer assume the responsibility of leading their family, because feminists have told them that male leadership is no longer intrinsically necessary. Men no longer teach their sons how to become a man, because maybe their son played with a Barbie once. Many men no longer challenge themselves, or live what Theodore Roosevelt called “the strenuous life,” because they’ve been told that accepting themselves for who they are is more important than the growth that comes with…

Fixing stuff in front of the ladies. Especially if it’s something to do with a car or something.

2. My massive, full, thick, dark beard.

My massive, full, thick, dark beard. I have a great beard going. I get compliments every day just about. All my friends are jealous. It just looks good. What can I say? I got at least one thing going for me every day when I wake up and it feels good.

3. Eating ribs.

Eating ribs. It just feels primal and pre-civilization to be tearing meat from bones with your bare teeth.

The Psychology of Strength: Archetypes Of Power.

Mavellian:

Well written

Originally posted on Unchaining The Titan.:





Carl Jung was a Swiss psychotherapist and a founder of the field of analytical psychology. He argued that any single individuals behavior and subconscious thought patterns can be better understood by categorizing them into four main metaphorical descriptions or as he called them, Archetypes. The primary Archetypes are: The King, The Warrior, The Magician, and The Lover or Artist. These archetypes are built upon examples from the myths and stories humans have told themselves since as far back as the primitive stages of our race, and they contain important insights into how we define ourselves in terms of our behavior. To describe them in detail would require a much longer post than this and a much better informed writer than I, but I’ll briefly outline them here and establish a relationship between Jungs Archetypes and strength and fitness training.

Firstly, it’s important to remember that we are never…

I murdered my anxiety with mind-bullets

Mavellian:

Purely awesome

Originally posted on Practically Alpha:

Over the past couple months I became increasingly anxious. I didn’t notice it at first, because for two weeks I was sick with strep throat. Those wonderful days, I paid much more attention to my body and mind than I do normally. After finally seeing a doctor for antibiotics, I began taking stock of myself. I could finally swallow without having to gargle salt, but I noticed that I still wasn’t recovering mentally. It’s scary to think that a simple sickness could cause lasting damage to the mind, but the reality is that what affects the body will always affect the mind. Exercise is possibly the best cure for depression, and allowing the body to wither is a surefire method of weakening the mind as well as the body.

Anxiety is weird. I know how to talk to people. I can read people pretty well, and these days I’m much better…

The Bully Standing In Your Way

Mavellian:

A man must not try to be in slavery to debt!

Originally posted on Penn Wealth Management:

I have long advocated the “pay yourself first” principal, in which the first 10 cents of every dollar you make goes into an investment portfolio designed to give you a high quality of life in your retirement years.  When this is mentioned, there is the inevitable question: “But what if we owe consumer debt; should we still pay ourselves first, payoff the debt first, or split the difference?”

Consider this metaphor.  You find yourself back in grade school, and a bully stops you on the sidewalk each morning and takes your lunch money away.  You could decide to do nothing, realizing that one of these years you will be out of school.  You could tell your parents that the price of lunch went up, allow the bully to keep taking the usual amount, and hide the rest away in your shoe.  Or, you could decide that you have had enough…

Men: Stop Being A Pushover, Start Being Assertive

Mavellian:

Listen up men.

Originally posted on saboteur365:

The feminist attack on masculinity has turned many men weak and feminized. This condensed outline of passive vs. aggressive, vs. assertive behavior is offered in the spirit of helping men reclaim their masculinity.

Assertiveness is an art. If the subject interests you, then read more and begin to practice your assertiveness skills.

Condensed by Paladin Justice from Lew Rockwell

Nice Guys take a passive approach to life and relationships. Instead of standing up for themselves, they let others walk all over them. They’re pushovers and perennial People Pleasers. Nice Guys have a hard time saying no to requests — even unreasonable ones. They’re considerate to a fault. When they want or need something, they’re afraid to ask for it because they don’t want to inconvenience others. Nice Guys also avoid conflict like the plague. They’d rather get along than get ahead.

Some Nice Guys think the solution is to swing…

Life is about WHAT. YOU. DO.

Mavellian:

Excellent!

Originally posted on Casey Olsen:

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness. It does not ask to dine nicely, and to sleep warm. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough.”

A line that is shot through with a moral maxim that echoes a stoic pragmatism modern man has forsaken. In other words, the only reward is our work. Not any of the byproducts that accompany it.

If we want to be fully human then we must be fully free. Not “free” as in political freedom–being a slave or free man–but being fully autonomous, making laws for ourselves, living in accordance with the universal logos. To do this we must liberate ourselves through our daily actions.

WHAT WE DO.

It is said that Time is the most valuable nonrefundable natural resource. Yet, it’s the most wasted. But, what matters isn’t so much…

When Did I Lose My Decision Making Authority?

Mavellian:

Great insight but we will never lose our decision making authority.

Originally posted on The Toltec Path:

We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so. ~ Don Juan, The Active Side of Infinity

Depths of the cosmos my ass. Some say that the energy of the Predator is otherworldly, that it has come as an alien force to this planet and infiltrated the minds of man. It is called by different names including archons, inorganic beings, reptilians, walk-ins. The predator is energy, not a being from some extraterrestrial dimension. It was birthed by humans on earth, it is a predatory energy that over the course of thousands of years has its toxic energetic lines enmeshed…
