Alpha men realize the importance of "net working", especially when you want to go places in life. That is the reason the Alpha man has innumerable contacts and has a circle of well placed friends and associates. He takes care to maintain a very "social" lifestyle.
In your search for Ms. Perfect, don't abandon the rest of the world. This throws you off balance, and may prove to be unproductive in the long run.
There is a saying; don't forget the old in the glory of the new. Don't give up on your old ties, your long friendships just because you are dating a woman who you find extremely fascinating. Very often men ignore their men friends for the sake of over-focusing on a particular woman. That's not advisable.
Here are a few reasons why you need to keep your "old friends network" alive:
1) For a more balanced approach in life. You will feel more active and rejuvenated with old ties. So will your sense of self-esteem take a leap.
2) To keep away from getting over-obsessed with one woman, some distractions and digressions are healthy for your psyche. It's all about balance.
3) This will keep your woman interested in you for a longer time. Women love to see their men having a life of their own and their own circle of friends (male bonding).
4) You will be able to keep your doors and windows open. Meet other women through parties, get-togethers, etc.
5) It's your true friends who see you in the right perspective. Their views and opinions are extremely beneficial for keeping you on the right track.
6) When going through a bad patch, you need the support and friendship of trusted friends.
7) Get an opportunity to live long and happy. Studies show that people with a healthy circle of friends live long than those with few friends.
The moral of this short lesson is that when you start loving someone, don't stop loving the rest of the world. We have all met people, who, once they are into a relationship, abandon all his old friends. He is not to be "seen". Then when he is saturated with this new found love, he bounces back, looking for those same old friends to spend time. And wonders, "where has my entire friends gone, long time passing!"
Always remember this, you did not choose your family, you chose your friends. Family is always there, whereas friends are not. Family accepts you because there is no other way - friends accept you because they wish to. There lies the difference.

Am i being a fool?
By: head bitch in charge! | 18-08-2008
I have been seeing someone for 4 years. At first I didnt know he was had a girlfried. I stopped talking to him then he swore he didnt talk to her anymore. But over the years, I have found out he has been living with her. I would front him out, then he would swear he was leaving her, the a few months done the road, I'd find out he's been with the same girl. And says he's loves me It's been atleast a year and he swears to me he isnt with her. But i think he is. He's really stingy, and hardly ever suggust I come over. He says its because he works 10 hours a day and is tired, and we wouldnt be alone, so every now and then we get a room. We do go places just not as often as I would like and would lov and my question is how do i he's not just giving her his money or if he's still seeing her? what do u think? Am i being a fool?
