"lifting" is a meaningless trap.
Reminder that self improvement is a lie, you can't win no matter how much you hit the gym and how many "red pills" you have swallowed.
According to the fraud Rollo Tomassi (the godfather of TRP) Alpha "is a state of mind" but according to psychology bad boy is not an ideology. it's a personality. a personality is simply a set of habitual behaviors, cognitions and emotional patterns that evolve from biological and environmental factors.
There are unique set of circumstances, biological and environmental determinants involved in developing a real bad boy personality.
So what does all that mean? that means that the subconscious mind of a thug reacts differently to events. the SCM of a basedboy in a fist fight would release fear and anxiety hormones and people will know that he's scared shitless. he can't fake shit. but a bad boy's SCM would release high testosterone levels and dopamine and less fear hormones. Bad boys and "Alphas" have a psychological motive(hormones) to do what they do. it's all normal to them. thanks to hormones they are 100 percent comfortable being themselves in public. not because they read TRP posts.
