Like I said before; you have significant and serious issues. Good luck with that. I refuse to engage anymore.
@ Kryptogal:
I've read some of your previous posts. You are supposedly conventionally attractive. Which also means that you have probably gotten everything you want sexually. That must be great and I do not begrudge you that.
But you're right - not everyone is destined to be the Alpha Male. In fact, most men are destined to be Beta Males. The beauty of being born in the 20th century means though, with enough talent, smarts, passion and yes - burning determination and self-discipline, you can succeed enough to enjoy the perks of Alpha male success.
One of those perks is a better and hopefully wider selection of mate(s).
Men have always been motivated by this. Please see Bonaparte, Napoleon for a larger than life example. Other examples include any number of Bankers, Film Directors, US Senators and Presidents.
Being an asshole is just a very basic and low level way of convincing certain women that you are an alpha male.
