The Ironwood Collection of Alpha Moves (12 page)

Or you could try the Red Pill approach and
manipulate him with sex
-- that's good Girl Game.  Believe me, it's your best bet.  Mrs. Ironwood had to contend with that, once upon a time.  After fighting a losing battle with me for years over it, she got sick of the nagging and the passive-aggressiveness of my response. 

So for my birthday she bought me a complete, masculine-looking set of wicker and wood containers and included a note that said, more or less, "Organization makes me wet" and then went on to richly reward me for cleaning up my shit.

She repeated with more positive reinforcement the next few times it started to get messy ("I'll be wearing a piece of clothing to bed for every piece of clutter on your dresser", "the smell of Pledge makes me horny", "when you finish straightening up your dresser you can dust them with my panties").  After a while, if she wasn't happy with the state of my side of the room, when I'd try to initiate she'd tell me that she was really feeling like watching me clean the bedroom naked to music, and I'd take the hint.

As the lady said,
"A man will put up with just
about anything if he thinks it
s foreplay".
  Just make sure you give him the treat at the end of the trick, make sure he knows it's important and
why,
and after you've mentioned it once,
don't mention it again for a while. 
Give him a chance to handle his business.  And if he doesn't -- make him take you to a nice, clean hotel room before you give it up.

Dudes,
clean is sexy to women.  Always.
  Even when she's being "dirty", she doesn't want to be distracted by clutter, dirt, and dust.  Cobwebs aren't sexy.  Dirty clothes aren't sexy.  So handle your business and clean up your act.

Alpha Move: Be Arm Candy

I was attending a work-related function (costume fetish party at a local bar, where my brother
Sylvester Ironwood just happened
to
be the bartender)
which allowed me to do some good field work in terms of observation. 

I actually ran into a local Red Pill dude and his lovely wife, who for the sake of their privacy shall remain nameless.  Watching their interactions was intriguing, especially against the backdrop of both singles trying to hook up, couples out strutting their stuff, and the odd leather-clad slave being led by on a leash.

A very hot wife certainly adds to intermasculine social ranking . .
. if you present a protective presence around her strong enough to discourage any interlopers
.  A dude with a hot wife gets social points,
but only if he can defend her adequately
.  Once he establishes his territory, usually the rest of the males move on, paying him respect for his mate and willingness to protect his claim. 

A very few might try to challenge by stealing him away, but there are dangers implicit in mate-poaching among males.  You just don’t rub another man’s rhubarb.  And if you do, and he has developed a loyalty among his friends (see above), then the possibility of losing all social standing in the group is risked.  Not to mention getting the shit kicked out of you.

Women, on the other hand, also factor another woman’s mate selection into the equation but they do it far more deliberately and with calculation.  A woman married to a low-status spouse gets pity and sympathy, disguising deeper and less noble emotions, from her female peers.  A low-status spouse might be better than no husband at all, but only short-term. 

I
n this equation, unlike when a woman is evaluating a potential mate for herself,
when a woman evaluates another woman’s husband she factors in both Alpha traits and Beta traits, literally imagining how he would perform for her as husband and father
.  And if a woman admires another woman’s husband after evaluating him, then the wife actually
gains
status in the feminine social hierarchy based on her husband’s suitability as her mate.

A woman with a hot husband gets so many points.  If he’s hot and funny, the number goes up.  If he’s hot, funny, and charming, it goes up further.  If he’s hot, funny, charming, and independently wealthy . . . well, you get the idea.  It's a kind of reverse Preselection, where your ability to attract the attention and admiration of the women in her social group increases her value to them, even while your subjective SR towards your wife is getting buffed by their preselection attention.  Win, win. 

When I go to one of Mrs. Ironwood's work functions,
my unstated intention is to ensure every woman in the room thinks about me the next time she has an orgasm, and then reflect in the afterglow what a lucky bitch Mrs. Ironwood is for have such a studly, caring and faithful hubby.
  That's the
goal,
anyway. 

I encourage that thought by automatically taking a subtextually dominant stance both in my posture and in my speech.  I do my best to impress upon them what a cultured, mannered, and sophisticated husband she has, and without saying a word to that effect imply that in addition to being brilliant at her career and blessed with three happy, healthy, intellectually precocious children, she also has a caring, sensitive, and strong husband who manages the house and takes her to Pound Town with enviable regularity.

Why is this important to Red Pill dudes?  Because when you are at a function with your wife, especially one related to her work or career, despite the conventional wisdom on the subject
you actually do more harm to your wife by hanging back and being passive than you would if you took and kept a dominant presentation during the affair. 

Why is this? 
Women respond to dominant cues, regardless of where they came from . . . or to whom they are directed.
  If you are rolling a dominant presentation around your wife, far from the other women being upset that a strong, capable career woman is being dominated by a mean ol’ man, the other women will instead respond to your cues as much or more as your wife will in a subconscious effort to advance themselves as potential replacement mates.

By taking a dominant presentation, you are being “a good man” in front of them which makes them try to demonstrate their
own
worthiness.  And in responding to your physical subtextual dominance displays, even when they aren’t directed at
them,
women tend to socially submit to a woman associated with a dominant male.

That’s the happy side-effect of this reaction:
the increase in social status your wife will get from other women by being seen in a submissive position to
you
.
Your wife might be the head of her entire division and be used to bossing around thousands of subordinates . . . but that doesn’t mean that you are excused from your duties.  By maintaining a dominant presentation around her you can help to secure her position as the Alpha Female (or at least improve her position in the organization) and gain the dominance and loyalty of her female subordinates.

Why?  Because
subtextually submitting to her husband does not make a woman, even a professional executive, look weak – it reinforces the idea that she has consummate mate-selection skills to the rest of the social group. 
A woman who can fight her way into upper management but who
cannot
find a worthy mate loses status.  A woman who can fight her way into upper management
AND
find a husband who demonstrates high value in front of her subordinates
offers social proof of
her
personal dominance, even as she allows her husband to take a dominant presentation
.

It seems like a maddening Catch-22 for most women, and a horrifying thought to most feminists, but it seems to be the Red Pill truth:
by demonstrating her submission to her husband, an Alpha female locks in her status by proving that as a capstone of her personal power she was able to secure a very high-quality male, one of such a high quality that even she feels compelled to submit to him.
  That’s a powerful statement of feminine aggression that most feminists don't want to acknowledge.

Don’t believe me?  Consider a couple that you know (and I’m sure all of you know a couple like this) with a strong woman involved in the marriage/relationship.  Now think about the couple you know where the man married to the strong woman had a very strong Alpha presentation, and contrast it with a couple you know where the man has a weak Beta presentation. 

Do you find that you have more respect for the woman who dominates her weak husband, or the one who submits subtextually to her strong husband?  Even in cases where you might admire the strength and intelligence of the woman, most likely you’ll also find yourself deducting points of your esteem based on the idiot loser she married.

But the strong woman who has found a strong man, strong enough to dominate even her?  That’s a bitch to watch out for, as Mrs. Ironwood would say.

We don’t respect the otherwise-capable woman who can’t handle her relationship.
  Oh, she’ll get plenty of sympathy if she seriously considers divorce, but except in extreme cases you can count on a lot of that “support” to be typical feminine sabotage of competition.  If we see a high-powered female executive get into an argument with her Beta milquetoast hubby that leaves him fleeing the room, we don’t feel confident in her abilities as a leader and manager. 
We see a woman who doesn't have her personal shit together.

So for any Red Pill dudes whose wives have a career upon which your personal ship depends, remember – always! – the vital importance of standing by your woman
the right way
.  Don’t be afraid of taking a dominant stance, firm handshake, eye contact, even a little light flirtation when you’re at her side. Never say a disparaging word about her, never embarrass her, and never intimate that your relationship is anything other than cast out of bronze and impregnable. 

Don't crowd her when she is discussing business, but maintain an alert, calm, and interested demeanor at all times.  Be charming to the ladies and friendly but strong to the gentlemen.  Never fail to compliment your wife or comment about how proud you are of her and her career accomplishments. 

But never forget that while she likely sees these people on a daily basis and she has already established a position in the social hierarchy, that  as her mate you are not bound by that position.  She might be a junior flunky at the firm, but by showing up at her side and presenting a powerful but not stifling Alpha presence can elevate her social position dramatically.  Of course, screwing up can screw up her career, too, so be careful.

You can maintain a posture that is possessive and dominant without being cumbersome by simply placing one hand on the small of your wife’s back, her shoulder, or best, her neck.  Standing off to her left side makes you seem more intimidating, which is useful in work situations, while standing to her right you serve as a backstop in social positions where your presence as a couple is more important than either one of you individually. 

Using a lower tone of voice to both men and women emphasizes your dominance.  Speaking in short, controlled sentences instead of long and rambling ones helps you affect a presentation of calm and sincere power. 

Standing as straight and tall as possible is always a good idea, as is dressing up for the occasion. And squaring up your shoulders parallel to the person you wish to impress with your personal studliness certainly helps -- but never get more than arm's reach away from your wife.  Small PDAs might be appropriate -- hand-holding, reassuring hugs, a sincere peck on the lips can all lend credence to the idea that behind her cool workplace facade she has a volcanic tower of romantic passion awaiting her at home every night.
