    Woman Describes Effect of Alpha Male


    What constitutes masculinity for a woman?


    "Faint heart never won fair lady. Fearlessness--or daring or courage even in the face of fear. He who dares, wins. Calm assurance. The absence of any hint of asking for a favour or appealing to pity. Directness. Activeness. Effectiveness. Not hiding behind a flirty exterior never daring to risk being direct."


    Being a calm, rational, imperturbable sort of person, it is not often that the mere presence of another person has the power to do any more than make me recoil from the olfactory shock caused by their halitosis or their overpowering aftershave.


    But very occasionally (about once a decade) I have found myself intensely affected by the mere presence of a particular man--so intensely affected that it has taken every ounce of self-control to appear unmoved.


    enchanted.jpgThe effect is extreme, both physically and psychologically. Primal. Overwhelming. It feels as though the man has godlike power--the power of a man; masculine power. You feel totally held by this power. The desire to be taken by the man is so intense that it is frightening. It can be difficult to breathe, or difficult to remain standing, let alone maintain a conversation. Bone dry mouth, zero appetite, heart all over the place, the fear that you might faint, shaking like a leaf, body positively screaming to be taken, a reckless willingness and primal desire to do whatever that man wants.


    The masculine power of the man--you feel that power with every fibre of your being. Melting in a white-hot inferno of desire, out of your senses, so far out of control psychologically that you can't even imagine being in control, totally in his power. You feel owned by the man, totally his, totally submissive.


    If at the time, you're at an academic conference unrelated to your own field, and you are trying to have a highly technical discussion about an arcane piece of research, say, being thus affected by a complete stranger can be a little disturbing. Just as well it only happens once a decade. And just as well I have iron self-control.


    enchanted1.gifI've been thinking about this a lot lately. What exactly is it that causes this extreme response? Do other women experience this too? (Yes!) Is it something that can develop in a particular man, or is it something that is either there or not there? What do these men have that others don't? Are they the legendary human alpha males?


    Why do some men have it and not others? Is there actually something objectively different about them, and if so, what? Or is it a subjective thing, such that a man whose presence would cause this response in me would leave another woman cold, and vise versa?


    I once asked a man if he was aware of having masculine power (he was a very long way away at the time!) and from his answer, it seems that other women had felt it too, but he seemed to have no idea why, and assumed that all men naturally have this indefinable, mysterious quality that might be termed "masculine power". But they don't. Or perhaps I am just blind to its existence in the vast majority of men.


    Am I confusing psychological power with masculinity? I myself have psychological power and strength, so I do not think of power as being a masculine quality. And yet, this thing I am talking about feels to me overwhelmingly masculine, of a man, alpha male. What is it?


    Possibly the following might be part of it, but I feel very dissatisfied with my analysis of it so far, so I am hoping for some discussion on this subject, some criticism, and some enlightenment.


    The power to command, the quiet confidence to know for sure that he will prevail, and the daring to go for it and take what he wants. A commanding presence even if he doesn't know it. Faint heart never won fair lady. Fearlessness--or daring or courage even in the face of fear. He who dares, wins. Calm assurance. The absence of any hint of asking for a favour or appealing to pity. Directness. Activeness. Effectiveness. Not hiding behind a flirty exterior never daring to risk being direct.


    WHAT MASCULINITY IS NOT


    It seems easier to say what it isn't than what it is. It is not directly related to appearance, or not obviously so to me, anyway. And whilst quiet confidence might be part of it, there are plenty of men who are positively brimming with confidence who do not move me at all. I alluded to the alpha male idea because it seems as though dominance is a part of it, but it seems to me to be the sort of unaffected, unselfconscious dominance one might call "natural dominance" rather than the theatrical, affected, dominance I see in many a BDSM "Dom". It does not seem as though the man needs to be aware of the effect he has, and indeed, men who appear to think that they are God's gift to women tend to confirm me in my atheism. ;)


    sensitive1.jpgOn the other hand, men who have a victim mentality, or who appeal to pity, or who plead or beg for favours, or who grovel, or who are delicate, sensitive, mystical souls like Ayn Rand's "eminent young poet [who] was pale and slender... had a soft, sensitive mouth, and eyes hurt by the whole universe", or who seem helpless, or who are endlessly sorry for themselves, or who have a bad temper that they can't control, or who otherwise appear weak, don't have it.


    I assume that it is a quality that can develop, rather than being something fixed or something you are born with. Life's experiences and the will to make changes in yourself and your life surely can effect significant changes. I know that I myself have actively developed my own confidence and strength over the years, forcing myself to "feel the fear and [dare to] do [the scary things I passionately wanted to do] anyway".


    And that this has significantly affected the way others see me--though as someone once pointed out to me, that in itself implies a strength of will that not everyone has.


    I'd love to discuss this. Perhaps you have some fascinating insights to share--in which case, please do!

    Zitat

    The families that own the Federal Reserve Board missed making gold payments due on January 31st so they now have to scramble to find gold before February 27th or face the bankruptcy of their United States of America Corporation. That is why Secretary of Skull and Bones John Kerry is off this week to beg for gold from the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, South Korea and China. The cover story about the US Congress having to raise the debt ceiling in order to avoid government bankruptcy is only fooling a steadily shrinking group of the brainwashed living dead.

    RED ALERT: Coming Currency Collapse & Bullion Banks Rush To Increase Registered Gold Inventories
    The warning signs are increasing as the death of the Global Fiat Monetary System approaches. The bullion banks lost 88% of their Comex registered gold inventories over the last year and are now rushing to build their stocks to satisfy future deliveries.


    Here we can see that since April of 2013, the Comex Gold Registered Inventories declined 88% from 3 million oz to a low of 369,212 oz at the end of January:

    Die Lebenslüge Falschgeldsystem kommt bei den Eliten an


    von Peter Boehringer E-Mail 05.02.14 12:03:08


    Angesichts immer ver-rückt-erer Zustände der Finanzmärkte und der Gesellschaft wird nolens volens nun die Ursachenanalyse sogar der „Eliten“ realistisch. Leider jedoch nicht ihre Wertungen und Weiter-so-und-durch-Empfehlungen dazu: Was EUR-Kritiker seit 2010 sagen, aufgeklärte Medien seit 2008, die Geldsystemkritiker seit sehr vielen Jahren, die Baaders und Bandulets seit mind. 1990, die Goldbugs seit Jahrzehnten, die „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ und „Untergangskassandras“ jeder Couleur ebenfalls; und was die Österreichische Schule seit fast 100 Jahren sagt und Cicero und Petronius

    Und noch ein Grenzwert: Im jüngsten verfügbaren Berichtsmonat (April 2013) stieg das Volumen von Krediten für Wertpapierkäufe in den USA auf ein Allzeit-Hoch bei 384 Mrd. Dollar an. Das vorangegangene Hoch hatte bei 381 Mrd. Dollar gelegen. Das war im Juli 2007. Damit ist diese sogenannte “margin debt” binnen Jahresfrist um 29% angestiegen, der S&P hatte in dieser Zeit lediglich 20% zugelegt.

    The $3 Trillion Hole - Why EM Matters To European Banks


    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/…em-matters-european-banks


    How many times in the last few days have we been told that Turkey - or Ukraine or Venezuela or Argentina - are too small to matter? How many comparisons of Emerging Market GDP to world GDP to instill confidence that a little crisis there can't possible mean problems here. Putting aside this entirely disingenuous perspective, historical examples such as LTCM, and ignoring the massive leverage in the system, there is a simple reason why Emerging Markets matter. As Reuters reports, European banks have loaned in excess of $3 trillion to emerging markets, more than four times US lenders - especially when average NPLs for historical EM shocks is over 40%.

    Market Cornered: JPMorgan Owns Over 60% Notional Of All Gold Derivatives


    Perhaps the only question we have after seeing the attached table, which shows that as of Q3, 2013 JPMorgan owned $65.4 billion, or just over 60% of the total notional ($108.2 billion) of all gold derivatives in the US, is whether the CFTC will pull the "our budget was too small" excuse to justify why it allowed Jamie Dimon to ignore any and all position limits and corner the gold market?

    Da werden wohl schon die ersten Umgebracht, sie springen immer aus dem Fenster! Das schaut besser aus als eine Kugel in den Kopf.


    Die Polizei wird sich sicherlich nicht allzu sehr in diesen Fall reinhängen............. :D

    Fonds-Pleite
    Emittent des Finanzproduktes mit dem Namen “Credit Equals Gold #1 Collective Trust” ist die China Credit Trust. Die Treuhandgesellschaft wird dem chinesischen Schattenbankensektor zugeordnet. Der Fonds wurde seinerzeit aufgelegt, um Geld für das chinesische Energieunternehmen Zhen Fu einzusammeln. Verkauft wurden die Wertpapiere von der Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). Es wird erwartet, dass es in diesem Jahr noch eine ganze Reihe ähnlicher China-Fonds platzen könnten.


    Die China Credit Trust hatte unlängst angekündigt, die Fondsgelder am Fälligkeitstermin nicht in vollem Umfang auszahlen zu können. Es soll insgesamt um umgerechnet 375 Millionen Euro gehen, die von rund 700 Investoren angelegt worden waren. Die ICBC ließ vergangenen Woche verlautbaren, dass sie nicht die Hauptverantwortung am Rückzahlungsausfall tragen werde und verwies auf die Zahlungsverpflichtung des Emittenten. Laut Medienberichten haben China Credit Trust und ICBC nun vorgeschlagen, jeweils 25 Prozent des Fonds zurückzuzahlen. 50 Prozent des Anlagekapitals wären dann vermutlich verloren.
