I feel like it does not apply to humans, because human interactions are (beyond superficial interactions) far more complex.

Also, social experiments are kind of unreliable. There are methodological flaws in several (no control in for instance the bungee jump)

anyone else with me on that? got any countering/supporting research etc.

That was very interesting and a great contribution to this board. Thanks

I agree to a certain extent. I dont think anyone should take a TV show like this as a serious scientific experiement, no matter how it is portrayed, but I do think that in this case a lot of the behaviours and traits are relevant. Of course human interaction is fare more complex than simple first impression/dating interactions. I have read in several places about power poses and dominant activities (shouting, chest beating etc) does indeed lower cortisone and increase testosterone. I have not read any serious research papers on the subject but no doubt they would be easily found if you want to. (And if they are not easily found, that is equally telling).

I tried some of this today. At first I was nervous and had to try hard to remember to not put my hands in my pockets, not slouch, and not turn my face away from people.

I feel a lot more confident now. It's amazing to see the primate thing at work in people. Once you know what to work for, primate behaviour is obvious. I usually think things like this are bullshit, but it is hard to deny it.

OP here, if you try more you'll evenetually do it without constantly think about it.

I used to think about what should I say but after this video, I really feel confident and I talk better.

And I understand how to set voice tone when talking, people tend to ignore you unless you step up

Thanks, this was interesting. I'm still kind of torn as while being 'alpha' is cool I feel I'm naturally more comfortable acting as quite a submissive person. I don't know.

Everything has a time and place. Being submissive all the time will get you nowhere, while trying to be alpha at every occasion will make people think you're full of yourself and a douche.

I guess being able to impose your will on others, when it matters, is the best you can be. You know, like in a team project where you're the one with a clear idea of which steps are to be taken and most others don't. Or when something you really care about needs to happen and will be good for everybody involved.

It's the essence of manliness really, being able to lead the pack for the common good.

Well, I like the idea of being 'alpha' in real life, but in terms of sexual preference I'm incredibly submissive so it might not be the best idea in the long run to present myself as dominant when attracting girls. Being a shy beta isn't exactly attractive though, nor is it much fun around other guys. What is that symbol? Some Nazi shit?

Odal germanic rune, symbolizing heritage, inheritance or tradition. Relatively untainted by Nazi stigma, apparently they preferred this variant.

Can also symbolize the god Odin.

Oh. That's pretty cool actually. It annoys me when people take stuff like that and use it as a symbol for White Nationalism and stuff like that, I just enjoy Celtic stuff but it's got all these modern connotations now.

This. Since starting self improvement i've tried to aim for a Strong but relatively quiet demeanour. That way I can comfortably be myself without acting like a jumped-up prick whilst still feeling confident and exuding a dominant air about me. At least that's what it feels like in my head.
