Unlike you, since I'm a woman, I chose a female-sounding moniker!

You have to keep feeding her drinks. Then again there are is the theory that you can't drink some people pretty. This might apply

I think betas would be much happier if we congregated, and avoided people who actually get laid and whatever. It reinforces how bad we feel when we are constantly subjected to what we are missing out on.

I had to move out of a prior living situation because both of my roommates had girlfriends, and it constantly reminded me of what a failure with women I am... Plus even before that, you could unfortunately hear neighbors having sex. It made me want to kill myself....

Now I live in a building of just old people, where you get complaints about the noise of using a dishwasher.. Much better.
If you mean that losers should accept their lot in life and move in together, well I guess they get what they deserve...but telling yourself everyday that you're not wanted because you are a "beta" is not productive, and it may even be counterproductive. It sounds a lot like excuse making to be honest...Now take it from me: I have had next to NO luck with women too...but to be honest, I know its because of things I can change, and I am changing them. I concluded that I was too nice, so Im changing that..if that makes me what someone wants to consider an "alf" or whatever, then so be it...but whats important isnt the label its the objective, and the results.

Being shipped away to a loser farm or moving in with a bunch of other losers wont help anything...They would only coalesce and start bitching to one another about everyone else. Its one of the reasons that they are losers..because they are INACTIVE..they'll overanalyze something to death, while all the other people ACT on their ambitions. Its not something you can just talk away...nor is it something you can hope to slide through life getting sympathy for really...it would require proactive change...now, if you dont really WANT to be in a relationship, and you are only wanting one to keep up with the Jonses as the bolded text implies, well, you wouldnt do well in a relationship even if you got one...wouldnt do sh.it with sex either I suspect.

Again, because you would be in it for what sounds like the wrong reason. I could be wrong about that part, but I wouldnt even suggest that you are relationship material if you are this insecure with yourself, or if you have such low self esteem. Because basically what you're doing is the same thing I used to do: you're hoping some woman will come through who thinks you're pitiful enough to give you a sympathy lay...well, take it from me, that doesnt happen, and even if it did, you wouldnt want, that I dont think.

Bah, I dunno about that... I'm getting bored pretty quickly myself. The only reason I'm still here is I'm in a foul mood today.

I honestly feel much happier when I hang out with my other beta friends, which is rare. I watch movies like Castaway, and would actually love to be in that situation, because at least I won't be constantly barraged by the hypersexual society we live in, while i get none...

When I was in college, I was in a fraternity, and pretty much everyone but me would have gfs/ get laid, whatever. I constantly felt like a failure, so when I visited the chapter at Johns' Hopkins, they were all a bunch of dorks, there were zero women over, and I felt so much better, not being constantly reminded of what a beta I was.. We were dorks, smoking weed, playing D&D, wheras back at my school, it was the same thing, party, everyone hooks up at the party, but me. After years of that, it really brings you down...

I'm very anti reality TV shows... so I don't think so. Anyways, everything has to be about sex these days, and there won't be any of that at the beta bar besides the hooker raffle once a week.
