Lead Your Family Family men are required to care for the lives whom they are responsible to. This means leading your wife and your children to reaching the standard which you've set.

Dear Daughter
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6u10YPk_34 Dear Daughter, Throughout your life there will be people who try to attribute all of your success as well as all of your errors to your gender. They’ll trivialize your failures and steal your success as if the blood, sweat, and tears you sacrificed were shared by them. These people may not be cognizant … Continue reading Dear Daughter
A Serious Look for Serious Words
The Family Alpha has undergone a transformation of sorts. Before I get into the post and the decision to make TFA ‘official’ I’d like to acknowledge the man who worked with me to make this possible. Both the logo and the banner are original works from Rollo Tomassi creator of The Rational Male and one of … Continue reading A Serious Look for Serious Words
Backwards Logic: Fat Edition
To think you can ignore a problem until it resolves itself is so backwards and illogical that if I hadn't witnessed it firsthand time and again, I'd never believe people actually behaved like this. Saying you love someone more than anything yet you're unable to directly confront them on an issue should show you that you do not … Continue reading Backwards Logic: Fat Edition
The Pride
Gentlemen, once you’ve recognized the need to destroy The Void in your heart and eradicate the The Shame from your mind by reaching out to your brethren you can then experience something which has eluded your grasp for far too long, a sense of pride. Masculinity has been under attack for so long that most men now default … Continue reading The Pride
The Shame

This guy was a father, husband, and man who truly wanted to reclaim his masculine ‘self’ yet was too embarrassed and ashamed to take that first step out into the world. Like Quasimodo who was … Continue reading The Shame
The Void
Are you a man that is living a lifestyle which somehow doesn’t feel quite right? Do you feel as though there is this void, this sense of missed satisfaction and incomplete daily regret? If you fall into this category, understand that you aren’t alone. The sense of missing something is shared by thousands, if not millions of men out there. … Continue reading The Void
Masculine Model #2 – Conor McGregor
In the first edition of this series I chose General Mattis (Read it here) as the best masculine role model out there. If you know anything of the man then you're completely aware that he embodies all of the traits an authentically masculine man should display. In this post and from here on out I'm going … Continue reading Masculine Model #2 – Conor McGregor
Excuses
“Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.” This is something I’d like you to recognize and really wrap your mind around. Everyone makes an excuse as to why they can’t do the things they need to do. Only a very select few out there are making excuses to do the things … Continue reading Excuses
Xmas & NYE
This is my second Christmas writing on TFA (Here's a link to last year's Christmas post) for those unaware I’m a huge fan of the Christmas season. I know it’s commercialized as hell, but there’s something about the music, the cold, the snow, the food, the parties, etc that I'm a big fan of. Especially … Continue reading Xmas & NYE
