I received an email from one of my readers asking: What is the ideal alpha male physique? I appreciate that this guy was looking for benchmarks to use as personal fitness goals, but it’s very important to understand that being alpha isn’t a look, it’s a mindset.
To illustrate this point, let’s start with the picture on this blog post. This is a guy who’s in great shape, and most would agree he has an alpha male physique. If however, I tell you that he’s 5′ 8″, most would say he’s too short to be alpha. Here’s where it gets really interesting… If instead, I tell you that the guy is 6 feet tall, then he magically becomes alpha again, but the second I tell you he’s gay, he loses alpha status. (Remember that an alpha male by definition is a leader of the strongest males and a sexual partner of the highest-quality females. When a man is gay, the strongest males lose respect for him, and he’s not having sex with any females.)
For the same reason, a man doesn’t need to be in excellent shape to be an alpha male. When I think of alpha males, the first two names that pop into my head are Jack Nicholson and Charlie Sheen. Jack Nicholson is 5′ 10″ and 76 years old. As for Charlie Sheen, we all know him as a party boy, not an athlete. Both of these men are alpha because of the mindset they hold. That’s what makes them powerful leaders and sexually desirable to women.
At this point, some readers will start wondering if I’m on an “alpha males don’t need to be large and muscular” rant because I myself am short and weak. Nope. I’m 6′ 1″, 239 pounds, and built like a brick shithouse. While it’s true that application of an alpha mindset will eventually give you the alpha look, the point I’m making is that you need to focus on the mindset rather than the look.
Think of it like this: There are two types of men who drive exotic sports cars, guys who are rich and can afford them, and guys who spend every last dime they earn on a car loan they cannot afford, and are continuously 45 days late in paying. I think it should be a law that if your car is worth more than $100K, your debt-to-income ratio should be clearly visible on the license plate frame. Having the car doesn’t make you alpha; being able to afford it does.
In the same way, being in shape doesn’t make you alpha, but having the willpower to get your body into the best shape possible does. Sure, I could throw out something like “Alpha males can bench press 225 lbs. for 10 reps.” but the reality is that every guy is different. Because different guys have different genetic potentials, one guy benching 225 could be taking his training very seriously while another guy benching the same weight is screwing around and living off of fast food. The mindset of a true alpha male working on his physique will be this:
I work twice as hard in the gym because I’ll die before I let some jack-ass with better genetics and less self-discipline look better than me.
Any man who holds that mindset day after day, month after month, and year after year, will obtain an alpha male physique. Giving statistics to a man like this will only limit him by suggesting a point where he can stop. An alpha male never stops.

For most people, the decision to give someone a second chance or not is made by the feelings they have when the moment presents itself. Feelings are very dangerous things, and, devoid of logic, can make a disaster of your life very quickly.

At what point did society begin using this expression as a motivator? Instead of encouraging success, the saying is only a way for children to feel good, win or lose, no matter what they actually do. It has become a poison in our society, preventing people from gaining self-sufficiency. It may seem innocent enough when applied to a third-grade dodge-ball game, but it’s not so innocent when it causes children to grow up believing that it applies in the real world, where it does not.
As the smallest sliver of light begins to turn the black night’s sky navy blue, everything is perfect. In a few hours, the sun will rise, but this perfect moment will live in my memory forever. I’m in the middle of the Mojave Desert surrounded by heart-throbbing electronic music, lasers, and skydiving teams with fireworks strapped onto them. It’s so overwhelming that at times I get distracted from all of the amazing young girls, some of whom are wearing nothing more than pasties and a g-string. There are close to a quarter million people here with me. About fifty of them I knew before this event, but in this moment, we are all family sharing in one of the most unbelievable experiences this world has to offer. Being at an event like this teaches you something about life. Life is experience. When you are overwhelmed by your senses, you are truly alive in that moment. When you are with friends sharing in that moment, you are truly happy.
Society is like a chain. Over time, society has learned that it is only as strong as its weakest links, the people. Put too much stress on the chain, the weakest links break, and society falls apart. So, the rules were created to protect the weak links and make sure that the chain doesn’t fall apart. Don’t put any more stress on the chain than the weakest links can handle. Except, what about the strong links? They have so much potential! They could do so much more, but to do that, they would have to remove themselves from society and only connect with other strong links.
…simply put, Drawk's teachings make Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People look like a children's book.
Drawk not only has the ability to bring the fun, flirty girl out of women amazingly quickly; he can teach how to do it with great attention to detail.
The experience opened my eyes to a completely different perspective on life. I can honestly say I am becoming the man I wanted to be.
You spring to life, your worldview focuses intensely forward, and everything you do makes sense in relation to your goals.
You will feel completely comfortable and be well-received among any group of people, both in business and social situations.
I definitely came back from the weekend feeling like a completely different person.
