At least according to my proposition.

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.

If you get laid, you are an alpha.

If you do not get laid, you are a beta.


If you get friendzoned by women, you are a beta.

If you are involuntarily celibate, you are a beta.

If your only option is to pay for sex, you are a beta.

Way too much emphasis on sex.

Yes, because we women are only good for one thing.

If you hadn't gotten laid in almost 3 years, you'd place a lot of emphasis on it too. You take it for granted. That's why women can never contemplate what it's like being a betamale, because you can have as much sex as you want.

Hmm.

So this chick:



can have as much sex as she wants?

We are talking voluntarily, right? Nothing involving threats and ropes.

It's more difficult than what you point out, if you read my theories of Gamma and Delta Males.

Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean that I'm having sex all the time or turning it down left and right, but if it makes you feel better to think that, go right ahead.

I just don't personally think someone's sex life makes them an "alpha" male. I don't think I've ever even dated an "alpha" and I'm perfectly fine with that.
