I am a huge fan of intellectual arguments and I appreciate your concern for validity in my post. But to correct you once again. Omega males fall below Beta males. Omega no longer exists in that they are "absolute males" - neadrathals are "omega males" - alpha males are at the top of the mating and feeding chain in EVERY species. In order to be the best, you must beat the best. My question is, if you "were" (used the term "were" - in that I'm assuming you are a beta) an alpha male, why would you EVER want to bring competition on yourself. It's like bringing a high valued male and introducing him to your gf, you would clearly be an idiot. If you would like further proof and validity of this concept, introduce me (a well-renouned alpha male) to your gf. Give me 3 Hours with her, half of mysterys "6-hour rule") and we can see how encouraging competetion works.
Yes, I have heard the term "Omega Male" used to refer to the lowest of the low on the totem pole before, but Dr. Paul uses it to describe the highest of the high. His term, not mine. I'd just as soon stick with "Mature Masculine Man" to avoid any confusion.
It seems to me like your ideal alpha male is clinging to a very primal animalistic nature. In terms of power and control, yes the alpha male would be the top dog. But, in terms of higher consciousness, the Mature Masculine is the top dog. The alpha gets his power and status from dominating others. The Mature Masculine's status comes from within. He has no need for power struggles or domination because he has evolved beyond such things and achieved a higher consciousness and sense of self.
To answer your question, why would you ever want to bring competition to yourself: Because competition makes you better.
Without competition, you fail to learn and grow as a man, and you become stagnant. You regress and devolve into a monkey-brained creature caught up in power struggles, trying to claim the women of other men in an attempt to validate yourself. A person who fears losing avoids competition; a person who loves winning welcomes competition.
Back when I played basketball, I often played against mostly the same people over and over again. I dominated them; I was the best of those I played against. But, I wanted to be better. I wasn't going to get better playing against the same people, so I went and sought better competition. I found better competition and I was no longer the best. If I wanted to compete against those guys, then I needed to step my game up and push myself to become better than I ever was before. That's exactly what I did.
