    Who said I am beta?

    If the sole criteria by which a male is determined to be alpha is how many women he gets, then all is lost ANYWAY.

    But no, many alpha males are TAUGHT, by women around them, to become 'nice' people.

    So many of the beta males protest that it isn't their fault they're angry about not getting sex with the hottest women

    Thus, I am not angry that I cannot or can get some theoretical hot woman, but that I was deliberately short circuited in my youth by FALSE messages by the women around me, women who could not think straight themselves and admit to themselves that indeed they are after assholes who play nice rather than after nice men themselves.

    Had I been told the truth up front by the women, I would not have felt slighted and my youth lost to pining for sex from women who could not stand the sight of another 'nice guy'.

    NOW is a different story. I get attention from some of the women I want (of course you cannot woo all of them), even many of them the beautiful hot ones.

    So women lie. boo hoo. They are dishonest about their motives. They do as they please and try to force men to not have the same things. AND they fought tooth and nail to prevent me from learning how to ACT like a charming asshole.
