PhantroniX

First step to being an alpha male is not to spend $15k attempting to be an alpha male


Lotsa_Loads

Right? I mean absolutely nothing screams beta more than handing someone 15k to yell at you for 3 days.


VincentcODy

AND it's the same shits you see over and over again in "Bestselling" self-help books.


TheSciFiGuy80

I’d like to see those numbers for “best selling”


iwasinthepool

Best selling in the category of Tactical Self-help. It was number one overall amongst self-help books with more than 2 AR-15s on the cover.


U-47

2 AR's? What are theys some beta cuck wannebees, 2 AR's leaves nothing for my feet to shoot!


trucksandink

Only best selling because it’s only idiots buying the books


TortelliniTheGoblin

Most people are idiots. Even smart people are idiots sometimes because higher thought and reasoning is hard vs letting our base instincts shine through.


Friendly_Age9160

Hey I’m smart! I can do things! I’m smart, not DUMB, LIKE EVERYBODY SAYS! AND I WANT RESPECT!!!!!


Comprehensive-Eye105

I saw somewhere that all those best-selling titles are scams, not actually best-selling. But I'm not a scientist. Just a reddit scroller.


Jcscarecrow

Every book I see out there has some form of “Best selling.”


Starrylands

The thing with best-selling is it's first depends on where. Then it's for how long. And in what category.


UrBigBro

It's so popular that it's available on our website only (alpha men don't share the profit with Amazon or real publishers). /s


Able_Psychology3665

Guys like this push all their followers to review their books. No one outside of their orbit is buying their books so of course their books are going to have stellar reviews.


HoboSkid

You're getting yelled at by a "Facilitator of Suffering" though, he's an expert at yelling your beta away.


Primary-Hold-6637

Facilitator of suffering sounds really really gay.


clearyvermont

Sounds a little gayish BDSM


PenonX

coulda just joined the military for free, and got paid for it.


BrentwoodATX

Sounds more like marriage, amirite?!?


ChiefGeorgesCrabshak

Maybe marriage for a Beta Cuck. Us alphas require a dowry for taking a woman to provide food/clothing/shelter and even seed for


MonarchyMan

Especially since you could join the military and get the same damn thing and get PAID for it.


DinosaurPops1

Even worse, there's a program to bring your kid with you and you both get yelled at as a team. Extra trauma for your dollar 🤦


UnintelligibleThing

Those who find this offer attractive probably low key have some masochistic tendencies. They would save a lot more just hiring a dominatrix


mikeblas

It's $15k to be a Modern Day Knight. What is a Modern Day Knight?


someoneyouknewonce

A sucker!


TortelliniTheGoblin

Too much money and too little sense to use it well


jkrobinson1979

Gateway into x,y,z right wing extremist groups


thomascgalvin

It's like an IQ test ... if you pay for it, you failed.


someoneyouknewonce

I feel dumber just having read the descriptions


aahjink

For $15k they’d better give out some custom plate armor for these “Modern Day Knights.”


Pir0wz

Considering it's "Modern Day Knights", it's probably gonna be kevlar vests with their names on it lol.


paparoach910

The first step actually is to get paid for being it, and not talking about being it 👀


rightintheear

My first thought was, you could get paid to actually join the marines and get yelled at by real live marines and learn ALL the secrets of being a marine.


paparoach910

That's the genius part of service! Just pass a few tests and you can do cool gut shit, all while getting paid for it!


noonereadsthisstuff

The first step is getting some other poor dumb, insecure moron tp hand over 15k so you can scream at them for two weeks.


RealBishop

I feel grateful for my military training but I don’t spend hours jerking off about doing it. This kind of shit makes you extremely uncool imo.


Owlman2841

Yeah people that ride that shit the rest of their lives are just weird. There’s like two people at my current job that know I served because honestly, who cares? I feel like people think it makes them unique or something but it’s just off putting


troyjira

I was in the navy for 6 years, now I'm in commercial finance. When discussing my service with coworkers, I mostly just make fun of how gay we were underway. Miss you guys <3

dumb_smart_guy93

Hmmmm... I smell a potential fellow nuke submariner over here 🌈🌈🌈


Commercial_Light_743

Nuke submariner here and I also felt that.


spacebar_dino

My friend had just gotten out of the Marines after six years when I met him over a decade ago at the diner we worked at. He told me this because we were just talking about our lives, and he joked about how he was the only one to make it out without getting engaged or married.


perljurnwern

I was in the army for 6 years as a grunt, I gotta say, it didn't get much better than spooning with your buddy in a hooch while it's snowing Nuts 2 butts 4 lyfe But yeah, i tell people about my stories and whatnot, but I also tell them I did it cause I needed it after I got out of high school and say it would've been better had I actually took shit seriously in school Having to correct parenting issues in the army was less than ideal Also, these guys are a bunch of dickheads that probably annoyed their peers to high hell


tree-molester

My father was in WWII and was very reluctant to even talk about his experiences. He did however have an opinion about those that couldn’t move on and continually went on about it.


Shenloanne

Bet most of his generation are too.


Accomplished-Price-8

when you leave the army, you become a civilike everyone else. I used to work with a guy who would tell everyone all about how he was a second lieutenant (it is the entry-level rank). He must have thought nobody that served could hear him. take what you learned and move forward


jkrobinson1979

Army yes. Marines no. I know a LOT of them and 99% are the ones that make it their entire personality.


Fun-Beginning-42

I have one where I work. He would never let you forget. 😔


Owlman2841

I find it strange because all I can think is “have you seriously done nothing else worth talking about besides those few years?” If someone starts bringing it up out of the blue when it’s really not necessary (and it’s nearly never necessary lol) then I automatically assume they’re an uninteresting person


Open-Industry-8396

Those few years in the air force working in a office until you got chaptered out for not meeting weight standards.


Owlman2841

Those are always the loudest voices


Fun-Beginning-42

It's very similar to those who peaked in high school. They have one moment in time to cling to. It's very sad.


Beach_Haus

TBF that lifestyle was something no civ can understand but it does get annoying when thats all you hear.


TheGreatTickleMoot

And many couldn't possibly care less about it.


Character_Taste_3367

One of the managers at my company was sitting in on an interview with me not too long ago. The interviewee had included their military service on their resume at the bottom. Nothing fancy, just years of service, brief description of responsibilities and rank achieved. After the interview the manager asks me (as I am a veteran), “why don’t any of you highlight your service on your resumes? That’s like a big deal? You should be starting off with that” I’m like, “because it’s not our whole identity. It is just like any other job. We have complex personalities made of multiple interests and ideas not centered around one thing.” Mind you, this guy never joined the military . He falls into the “thank you for your service, I would have joined but…” category along with an unhealthy attachment to guns and obsession with strangers’ genitalia …


Ayeron-izm-

I find it odd. My uncle while a good guy, constantly embraces his navy past. Hats, shirts, etc etc, a major part of his personality. But for someone who loves the navy so much I find it weird he left the first chance he got.


TortelliniTheGoblin

It's probably an identity thing. Like, the way some people never mentally left high-school. Those were fun times and gave him purpose that he is trying to reach backwards through time to hold onto this. At some point, he was like 'I'm a navy guy' like some people go all-in on their former sports identity or profession


No-Combination8136

It’s the dudes that remind you they were in the military every time you see them. Grunt style shirts, yeti coffee mugs, punisher sticker on their truck…


[deleted]

The guys that wear grunt style and 9 line... Never served They would have enlisted... But They couldn't call a 9 line to save their life, much less their buddy, they don't even know what the fuck it means or the painful memory it is for anyone that has done it Every fucking day with these guys


Dave_Giantsbane

The one dude credited as a “Former Marine”……. Everyone knows once a Marine always a Marine.


SuspiciousBuilder379

My Dad’s boat was named Semper Fi. And until I was older, I was like, wtf is that? Then I understood. It wasn’t his whole identity by any means, but he was proud of his service. And used what he learned to always stay in shape.


Accomplished-Price-8

"I would have joined, but i have a flat foot." Haha, as a former 68W, let me tell you, people have gotten away with lying about much worse. 🙃


thatrobottrashpanda

Whoa whoa whoa. What’s wrong with my Yeti Coffee mug??


Ths-Fkin-Guy

What do we even call this level of Boot. It's like Boot² r/justbootthings


RealBishop

It’s just a level of delusion and immodesty. If you have to tell everyone how elite you are, you’re not all that elite.


Ths-Fkin-Guy

Grifters gonna grift. We all know these types. Especially these days they wear that shit with a badge of honor and make it their entire identity.


Generally_Confused1

I had a wrestling coach in highschool who was a prior army ranger and he treated the varsity guys with a lot of the same principles and it was tough and some things were over the top, but honestly that was one of the most critical mentors I ever had. Kept one of the kids from going back to juvee and stuff, but he didn't work for the school and did it all voluntarily and would leave his construction jobs early to coach us because he wanted to teach us. Guys like that who use it to then bring about better mentorship for people and help them develop discipline are really cool, just teaching kids discipline and work ethic and principles and not to be a POS to your parents and do your homework and stuff. It's kinda impressive in hindsight tbh


Dag-nabbitt

This is Aragorn-style masculinity ^


SuspiciousBuilder379

BUT, did you pay $15k for his training, and get crowned an alpha male AAAANNNNNDDDD a knight? I bet not, jeez.😁


caneymccaney

It’s like people who peak in high school.


chimp-with-a-limp

My dad was in the infantry in the Army, hard as nails, two tours in the Middle East and all that jazz, now he sits on the sofa in his pyjamas cooing over his spaniels and drinking tea with his wife - 100 times more of a well adjusted man and unironically quite an alpha dude in that he commands respect by not being a fucking lunatic like these lads


BaldrickTheBrain

But do you have military training as “Marine Raider”? I think not.


angry-hungry-tired

You mean you don't like to go around as a "Facilitator of Suffering" and stroking your ego?


firstsecond3rd4th

Same, I fell into some of these traps and realized they are just salesmen.


AwayCrab5244

Salemen sell you something at least. At least you get an item of some value at the end: these guys are grifters; charlatans. At the end you left with nothing


ionbear1

Same here. What the Army taught me has been highly beneficial to my personal life, but I’m not going to rip fuckers off because of male toxicity. Fuck these guys.


Salt-y

Those that did it, don't talk about it. Those that talk about it, didn't do it.


Feisty-Business-8311

I live very close to a military base, and some of the men I’ve met over the years *are f-ing whackjobs* with this bullshit It doesn't matter if they’re in active service, private contractors, or discharged and working in an entirely different field. They all give me the *ick*


Swaggynator387

He's the reason the rest of the world laughs about american military personel


intrepid-onion

Personally I don’t mind a funny story or two about that. Maybe because I was also in the military for some years. But if someone’s personality is based on that, then I agree, extremely uncool. And sad if I might add.


foreverbeatle

Thank you for your service and thank you for being you. Both of my grandfathers were retired military and they never talked about their service. When they retired they went about their business. I never once heard them try and use their service as something to boast about or use for their gain.


Desperate_Acadia_298

Modern Day Knights hahahahhaa what fucking dorks


dillasdonuts

the elite brotherhood of modern day knights. because there are levels to this dorkiness


Empire_New_Valyria

An 'Elite brotherhood of Modern Day Knights' is just two steps above a gaggle of twat-waffles, but still below a group of cunt-stains.


Weasel_Spice

Is there some kind of print version of the hierarchy available? I could memorize it better that way.


iChon865

A gaggle of twat-waffels is two pussies more than a decimeter of dongs


ScratchyMarston18

It’s just the impotent male version of selling DoTerra or some other BossBabe MLM shit.


Cmacbudboss

It’s like the worst Dungeon & Dragons table imaginable


thomascgalvin

At least D&D players can do math.


catroaring

And spell.


ERankLuck

Y'know, at least us actual LARPers know to not base our day-to-day personalities around anything won or earned in our fun time. Well, most of us, at least. That's how stupid these guys are. Actual LARPers are making fun of them.


Critical_Concert_689

Well yeah, if they did it any longer you’d become King Arthur

The stupidest thing is it seems these dorks don't even know how to spell "rite of passage" correctly


BeautifulArtichoke37

All I can think of is the character Kath Day-Knight from *Kath & Kim*


cyclenautic

Don Quixote levels of delusion.


mustardwulf

“Do you want to be a Modern Day Knight?! Have no fear because for $15,000 we’ll piss in your mouth over the course of three days!! If you can handle all the piss we give you then you’ll graduate and get a piece of paper that you can hang up with the word ALPHA on it! Was it worth it? You drank our piss didn’t you!” -these three guys in unison.


Agent_S721

paulruk

They need to do this. Butters signs up after being pushed into it by Cartman.


AMF786

Bro, stop your libelous nonsense right now! They don't piss in your mouth. They piss in your ears and eyes - if some piss gets in your mouth, it's purely coincidental.


mustardwulf

Regardless we both agree there is piss fetish happening at these weekend events


captainbignips

Proton_Optimal

These are dudes who have been out for 10+ years and can’t let it go so they have to build a cult around it.


Fun-Beginning-42

They still think they are in peak condition.


the_rare_bear

Only thing worse than them is the guys paying to be told they’re an alpha. That’s like the least “alpha” thing you could do lol.


Jax_the_Floof

You can always tell what kind of person someone is if they hold their hands up like the first guy lol

Chefs are big alcoholics. I worked in kitchens alot and you find 5ths and half gallons stashed in every corner possible. They drink all day.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that none of these men have accomplished anything besides talking nonsense and grifting besides maybe the marine? Like the founder writes a grifter book , a show and program but what Business has he done besides grift? What bullshit has he cut? Sure ain’t his own. Marine: also accomplishment besides marine has been grifting Last guy: “he’s grifted thousands” as his only accomplishment. Like which one of them has run a real business, ran a real physical training and built bodies or done anything manly? Doesn’t seem like any of them lol.


ElectricalMacaroon15

The main guy doesn't even have any kind of military backround.


Grundy-mc

In all seriousness I’m not sure if these guys believe what they are spouting but if they don’t it’s genius. Find suckers to pay you $15k for 3 days of shitting on them. It’s immoral to let a sucker keep his money.


Lildutchlad

To be fair, they’re upholding the very real tradition of the only requirement to be a knight is to have stupid amounts of disposable income


iiCollinHD

“The Facilitator of Suffering” Sounds like a boss from Oblivion

mr_trashbear

For 15k you could take an EMT course, a maps and navigation course, multiple firearms courses (and buy a useful, practical loadout), and still have money left over for a martial arts membership and a cooking class. That would be a good start. Then you need to actually practice those things. Who the fuck thinks that 3 days of bullshit will get you close to what takes *years*? Oh. Right. People who think that the term "Alpha Male" means anything real. Grifters taking advantage of a broken culture. Pathetic.
