Well, yes, that I agree with.

It's all about looks for almost everybody. So, if you cannot pass that test, the rest is just a moot point.

I think most women can pass though.

Indeed. Why is it that some women think they are somehow "more mature" than all males?

More to the point, there is nothing "immature" about being uninterested in someone you consider to be ugly. That's just how it works.

What was going on in your head?

The way I am using it is:

  • alpha male: dominant. aggressive. pants. top.
  • beta male: if anything, passive aggressive. submissive or at least not dominant. pumps. bottom.
Since most women prefer to be submissive, they will be more attracted to dominant/top/pants people.

On The Real L Word (a reality show which was intended to show real life lesbians similar to what was depicted on the original TLW), someone said "there are only two types of people in this world, girls and boys", and they identified Whitney Mixner as an example of a boy, not because of her gender (she is a woman or "cis female"), but because of her behavior. She's an alpha, pants, top, however you want to put it.

Plenty of average men and women get together every day. They even get married and have kids together.
Yes, I agree.

Another example of an Alpha Male would be Barney on How I Met Your Mother (played by the guy who played Doogie Howser). While the main male protagonist of the show would be described as a beta male or nice guy.

Barney, as an alpha male, gets a lot more mainstream women than his beta male friends.

Neil Patrick Harris is way over-the-top in that show, which is why he's such a good actor in How I Met Your Mother.

That's not an "alpha male" that's an actor acting.

That is SO easy for a woman to say.

The same is true for men.

That's all I can figure about these unreal ideas.

Maybe you haven't been a member long enough to have seen all those threads.

And the guys who say they avoid attractive women because they either assume they're all taken, or because they assume they're out of those women's "league" have no role to play in why those women don't get asked out?

I agree with Zorba that in some parts of the country all this harping on weight is irrelevant to the datability of most women. The healthiest and trimmest women (people in general) are in parts of the Southwest and West Coast. The problem isn't a need to lose weight. The women here are trim. Part of the problem is an overabundance of shy guys.

In my experience, what I see with my own eyes, attractive women have no problem being approached by men period. I don't know what part of the country you people live in were attractive women are ignored by men, but that ain't happening in Houston. Now are the men that are approaching these women, are they the men that these women wish were approaching them? I don't know, but its a BIG difference between saying men don't approach me at all, and the type of man I want is not approaching me.

The character is totally an alpha male. Such men are very successful in attracting women.

Even overweight men discriminate against heavy women.

Also,this whole notion that there is an abundant surplus of healthy and trim people on the west coast is nonsense. This is America. We're one of the most unhealthy countries on earth, and regardless of where you live in this country, there are a ton of overweight people. I live in Seattle WA, which according to the members of this forum is some kind of an urban paradise with no fat people. I hate to break it to those that don't live on the west coast, but even cities like Seattle and Portland still have more overweight people than fit people. As far as CA or AZ goes, they're overwhelmingly Hispanic, which means there is a disproportionate amount of heavy women. Obviously that is an extremely un-politically correct statement, but any single guy that lives in LA or Phoenix would have a good chuckle over hearing that weight is not an issue with women in their area.
+1..........This notion that there are no fat chicks in Cali is just foolish.
