Hi bro fun_n_pleasure! We share the same sentiments about this thread. You're most welcomed to stay and contribute! (Hereby shamelessly taking the liberty to "play host", haha, sorry ah Big Brother Warbird!)

A quick contribution before I get buried in my work again... (Things are getting busier and what a good time to be so. Having more spare cash near the end of the year is always a good thing I should guess so. Hee... )

I have personally encountered pretty mellow Alphas. To be more specific with examples, just to list a few: An assistant sports coach, a manager at a chemicals plant and another a retail sales assistant - none earning more than $4k and are not the most flashy people I've come across. However, all of them have this charisma that pulls people in, hold great conversations and are opinionated. A side I've seen them in action with the ladies of course, guys not counted. And they're not shy and submissive towards the chicks either. Also, if my eyes aren't playing tricks, the chicks enjoy their company too. It's always very fun with them because collectively it's tons of entertainment whenever we're out. Especially exchanging the pointers part lah, haha.

But a larger % of the Alphas I identified are super success-driven personnel, revered, indispensible and important members of their work arena. Along with the moolah they bring in, their accessories are also more atas relatively. They too, are a very confident and self-assured bunch. So, like yourself, I can't put a finger as to whether a natural Alpha tend to have more bling-blings too.

However, one thing I believe is that if you set higher standards, you get higher rewards too. Hence, the debate is on whether being Alpha is a "higher standard" (naturally some may disagree), and does the lifestyle, materialistically, should be lumped together and judged as the same.

I'd be waiting earnestly for the learned, well-traveled, and sophisticated senior bros to give their take. Please privilege us fledglings with your esteemed gems of wisdom.

P.S: I'll probably be replying all the previous comments affiliated with me during the weekends. Kinda miss the interaction here! OMG I'M KC-ED BY THIS THREAD I'M FUCKING SCREWED!
