[quote=squat250][quote=Blogstar]I am going to squat 250 in a week or two and then my status will be secure. Actually, since I almost weight that much it won’t be, so I’ll buy a new watch. Of course, I can’t afford much of a watch, so I’ll get my kid to get better grades than your kid.
True, status seeking, or at least an attempt at pecking order status recognition is ubiquitous and probably instinctual. However, I like it when top dogs, like you squat250,manage to be pretty cool and interesting people despite all that.[/quote]
well, thanks. I was sitting outide my inlaws in the yard with my brother in law, his son, and another newphew, and my kid. Me and my kid were squatting on the ground on a concrete ledge. apparent submissive positions, althought hey could have been resting perches.
The brother in law, who is pretty much the alpha out of all of us at the house, was standing in a central position. his son and the other nephew were off to the side. When my brother in law went back inside, instinctively, his son moved from where he was standing to the “power position” his dad had vacated.
My son pointed it out to me–I hadn’t noticed. we were laughing about it after everyone had left for oh, about ten continuous minutes….[/quote]
I have observed these scenes also- the Alpha types tend to like to stand near the food.
