So one of the greatest lessons i ever learned was if i ever wanted to learn a talent i just had to pick a person who was great at it and model myself after them. And if theres any one player i look up to the most, its robert downey jr. I mean sure, he's an actor. But he's a damn good one and he brings a little something extra to his roles, his own brand of cocky attitude that really sells his characters. Anyone can be arrogant, Robert Downey Jr. can be arrogant, intelligent, coy, crass, and comical all at the same time. Haven't really met a woman that doesn't go gooey over him, and he's got the respect of the dudes, which is why he's the perfect example of what to do right.

Anyway you guys want to help me out? I'm going to start studying his cadence to see if theres anything useful i can pick up.

One of the things i've already learned from him is just ballsy genuineness. Here's him with all the oscar winners:

They're asked if they google themselves. As you can see everyone is all vain fake motherfuckers who just say what they think the camera wants to hear, no, "i'm a good person, i'm not self centered", Robert Downey is like "hell yeah i google myself and i'm ok with it". I see the whole world as that fakeass room full of bullshitters, all you really gotta do is give them the gods honest truth when they expect it least and stand by it loud and proud, they'll see the comfy tarp of social conformity has been lifted and scurry to safety beneath your shadow. I've done it a few times since i've seen this and god damnit is it freeing. Also i found if you time it dramatically like when you're about to leave a party you can literally attract the attention and respect of the entire room. Other people always notice when other people stop talking and listen.

You could model your life after a guy who's meaning in life is to dance in front of a camera while pretending to be a made up person. Or, you could be your own man and not try to follow in someone else's footsteps...
In real life, a Tony Stark working a middle class white collar job in your run of the mill cubicle mill would be shunned as an arrogant weirdo, but that's just my opinion.

Well we all have "opinions". In my opinion you are some lunatic who spams every thread with nonsense and negativity and really have no place on this forum, many others would agree with my opinion. I am what is with the pessimism?

Anyways, tony stark and bruce wayne are men we all strive to be:

1. rich
2. good looking
3. great with women
4. respected

I also admire Robert Downey Jr's acting and how well he can pull off being a douchebag in his movies.

i duplicated a post.

You are the embodiment of pathetic.

As for everyone else, if you model your life on a movie character, you should ask yourself what you find so inadequate about yourself that you must look toward an actor to guide you through life. Addressing that will help you a lot more.

It really is pathetic what the modern man has turned in to. Men used to look up to warriors, generals, rulers, explorers, adventurers, scientists, pilots, astronauts. Now the "man" race has been reduced to idolizing immature, spoiled brats that dance for cameras to feed their drug addictions. Oh, and people who play ball for a living, or glorified bards. It makes me sick. Find yourselves a real role model, for fuck's sake. Heroes don't just exist in movies. The USED to exist in real life too, before the pussification of man.

I agree with the zmbcm1 up to a point, you shouldn't idolise anybody real or ficitional, because just like you and me these people aren't perfect, therefore there's no point in replicating them compeletly. Although having said that there is nothing wrong with idolising people you respect, and letting them influence your mannerisms and stuff. But the key word there is influenece, you shouldn't try to escape your own personality or situation by attempting to adopt someone else's, as cheesy as it sounds learn to be happy with yourself, and better yourself by accentuating your strong points while working on your weak points. Become much more well rounded, as opposed to in essence just abandoning yourself. Honestly I'd advise you to read some Sartre, the philosopher, this is the kind of area he deals with.

i agree with zmb. Paramount, your posts are all shit. You have brought absolutely nothing to the forum other than a self-defeating view of the dating world that negatively impacts many of the newer members on here.

As for idolizing an actor, i think zmb has a lot of merit here too up to the point that the OP isn't idolizing this guys motive, he is idolizing his ability with women. Which is understandable. I personally prefer my own type of game, but beginners many times need a role model for dating to get a mirror until they have more confidence. Once they have that, then they can do what we do, and attract women in their own way.

I have contributed more useful posts to this forum than both of you dumbfucks combined, get out of this thread, get out of my sight, leave this forum for us good posters. Now on to the topic.

Don Draper
Hugh Hefner
Cristiano Ronaldo
Iron Man
SPAM
Superman
Mystery
Neil Strauss

All of these men, these alphas that we read material from and watch, they are a part of our mental journey. Everyone has someone they embody and want to be like. Men who serve as rolemodels to a lot of people because of their lifestyles. A lot of great authors in history had other authors that influenced them, a lot of great artists had other artists that influenced them, and a lot of alphas had those in their lives that moved them and gave them motivation.

We always embody ourselves after a somebody whether it is someone close to us or someone we see on TV. I see nothing wrong with embodying a celebrity who lives the desired lifestyle.

I would much rather be Robert Downey Jr than a bunch of fools that make pessimistic posts on a forum and become obsessed with a user, seriously, get over yourselves. You guys don't even deserve to be called beta males, you are Omegas!

Paramount, you are a bona fide internet bully. Based on your writing style and attitude, it appears to me that you're a socially inept virgin that was ostracized and excluded at school for your strong Aspergers tendencies, and now you're taking out your pent up insecurities and rage out on random people on the internet. Since I started reading these boards, I have never seen the kind of vitriol that comes from you from anyone else. You need a psychiatrist.

Not trolling or trying to be a dick but Paramount21, have you ever been tested for Aspergers?

Serious question.

I do not need any tests for anything, you have some low lives running around making crappy posts and spamming my threads with nonsense posts, I call them out.

I am a sane individual with a loving family and a decent social life. You people are the ones that need to get some sunlight and see a therapist because you have such short tempers and tolerance. How can you help anyone when you cannot even help yourselves?

SO please, take the drama off this thread, quit making outlandish posts as well. There is nothing wrong with looking up to a guy like Don Draper or Iron Man. Those men are legit and respectable alphas in the fictional world and they have a lot to teach us.

I would take this time to make an insult but I won't.

Unlike you, I have relevant posts to make on this forum and not engage in some petty arguments. Yet I will call you out when you make crap posts. Think of it as me being the general keeping all of you in check.

Now back on topic.

guys, there shouldn't be any conflict on these forums. we're here to learn how to embody the player lifestyle, not bicker about who has better advice. you must see how ironic that is.

zmbcm, if you don't think its useful to take tips from robert downey jr, dont post on this thread. it is pessimistic, and its also irrelevant.

paramount, regardless of how you feel about him, you don't actually need to go around saying it. odds are he wouldn't have posted again anyway, but by chastising him for his negativity you just caused more.

at any rate, i'd like to try to point out that going around defending your ego all the time isn't going to get you anywhere and thats exactly what makes tony stark's arrogance work. sure his ego is overblown, grandiose and sometimes just plain rude. but he rarely if ever tries to defend it, and thats why its infallible. take his rival justin hammer for instance. both of them are cocky, arrogant, rich, and in the same line of business. but stark takes himself WAYYY less seriously, and is even self depreciating at points, whereas hammer gets pissy at the smallest little things. if he hadn't taken himself so seriously, he would realize he's a goddamn billionaire and stop being jealous of stark and just enjoy it. likewise, if you two stop bickering for long enough i'm sure you'll realize your player lifestyle is just something worth enjoying instead of arguing over who's got the higher horse. shibby?

The only thing I can learn from Tony Stark (not RDJ, because none of us has known him personally, so for all we know, his personality might be fabricated according to the characters or public images), is his cocky and dry humor. However, personally I find it doesn't fit my personality, sometimes he does come off as immature.

There's nothing pessimistic or irrelevant about pointing out that taking life advice from a movie character might not be the best idea. Social situations don't play out the way someone writes them out on a movie script. Many (in fact, most) people are not genius playboy billionaires. I maintain that an average guy acting like Tony Stark will be highly disliked by most.
