Ok, you said women can't contemplate what it's like being a betamale...but yet you, A MALE, know what a woman thinks and does and wants and....?

I mostly only read non fiction now. But as far as sci fi I mix in the occassional Dick novel.

Allow me to correct these for you:

If you get laid, you will probably have a smile on your face.
If you do not get laid, you are likely horny.
If you get friend-zoned by women, you have one more friend.
If you are involuntarily celibate, you are likely horny.
If your only option is to pay for sex, you better be wearing a condom.

Why they hell does every freaking thing need to have a label? Christ, take it at face value.

View it as a paradox...at least when it comes to women.

You can be alpha on the outside and beta inside, or beta outside and alpha inside.

It is a very alpha thing to do to walk up to a woman, start a conversation, make the first move, and proceed leaving caution to the wind. By the very nature of it, the guy leaves just about ALL of his defenses down inside, exposing himself potentially to a great deal of hurt and rejection at any moment. Nothing really alpha about that...glad this isn't war strategy.

On the flip, a guy could beta out and fail to even talk to a woman. However, on the inside, he has protected himself like Fort Knox.

So many guys look at the pansy pulling all the women and beat themselves up inside wonder what could she possible see in him???

Actions speak louder than words and when push comes to shove, he's putting the meat on the table.

There's something very romantic about a guy willing to recklessly risk it all for her affection. The mating game is a front...that's all it is. You may have the best game plan in the world but if you're not on the field, it doesn't really matter does it?

There are guys here who will say they'd take a bullet for the woman they love. Really? Are you serious? You have the sack to do that yet can't even work up the itsy-bitsy menial fortitude it takes to ask her out? I'm sure she'll believe you on that one

Yes I've had to make this post out of making it clear that men of the world aren't just easily categorized into "Alphas" and "Betas." There are plenty of males who are - by the grace of modern-day media propagandists like MTV and BET - deemed alpha but are truly pushovers in the right situation. And there are men who are deemed "beta" by default because they don't feel the need to go around and act like a complete jackass or hooligan. I deem these type of males "Delta Males" and "Gamma Males" respectively.

Delta Males: These kind of guys put off a good front of acting like they're "Alpha males" by conforming into whatever is fashionable and admired by the masses. Most of these men (if you can call them that) need a lot of assurance by society to the point of having little backbone to think for themselves. Sure, many Delta males are surrounded by "friends" and are good at get their fair share of girls by "wooing" them with some pop-culture nonsense (whether it's A&F-style gauche preppiness or poser hip-hop wannabe thuggishness), but that crowd and attention is more imperative for their self-esteem than anything else. For if you take away all of the girls from them and get these same males by themselves, a Delta male's personality completely changes and their "true self" is revealed. Many of these kind of guys are rather weak-minded, crowd-pleasing, conformists who aren't even worthy of the name "Covert Betas" and "Betas in the Closet."

Gamma Males: These kind of dudes are more or less self-reliant, self-motivated, and self-assured in their own personality that no one can change their ways. Some of these kind of males are considered loners, but this is not to case for all Gamma Males. Because of their stern personality, many people tend to write off these men as "Betas" by default because they won't conform to being whatever "Chic Alpha" trait exists during that time period. The man who's confident in his own self-worth and looks is said to go a long way with what women want. But as for recent times (I'll say since the early 2000s), most females are more impressed with being "wooed" with inane attributes, something that most Gamma males will refuse to do unless their original personality is what woos the female. These men, until recently, have had no problems getting with "American females" but recently, even these males are getting thrown in the "weak male" shelf because of their lack of conforming to the masses. Though getting women - even in today's time - isn't as much of a problem as it is for the "stereotypical Alpha Male," this is still a concern for quite a few Gamma males who were either born too recent (those in their teens and twenties) or those who live in areas where narcissism and American pop-culture rule the minds of the masses.


Whether you agree with me or not on the technical terminology, the fact that there is a huge group of male personalities beyond the Alpha/Beta Male dichotomy. I just want to see if anyone else notices this as well.
Notice hell?! I didn't even know!
