I follow The Red Pill scene.

The theory is that beta males still manage to get laid.

It's just that Alphas are the ones that women instinctively want to have sex with, much like your typical man can look at a typical woman and wouldn't mind being dtf with her. Likewise, alpha males trigger lust in females in a way that beta males do not.

When beta males manage to get laid, the woman is not as eager as she would be with an alpha male, and likely the sex for her is merely instrumental in keeping the relationship going because the chick digs the dude's emotional investment and resources.

An alpha male is the sort of man who does not have to offer resources and emotional investment in order to get laid. Women just want to gently caress him, much like men want to gently caress your average woman.

Sexual conquest is simply easier for the alpha male.

A lot of beta males have an ego investment in being beta males so they dismiss the whole alpha/beta dichotomy lest they face their inferiority to alpha males and come to deal with the fact that their women probably had alpha cock in the past and possibly still lust for it.

lol the red pill = painful

To acknowledge the alpha/beta dichtonomy is not to claim that you're an alpha, but to merely recognize the truth.

As I said, the attraction to 'alphas' is nothing but peer pressure multiplied by oppression. In a post-patriarchal society sex is no longer a commodity and as such no longer is a goal, so every form of sexual aggression is condemned. You may think such society is a society of 'betas', but it's really a society of metas, since there are no 'alphas'. Red pill is basically blue pill for meta males that ultimately hinders progress.

No, it means that none of it matters. It doesn't matter how much sex I 'get', my identity as a male is still valid and since this identity is a product of an informed choice, it's a better identity by default. I don't need hierarchy, because I'm above hierarchy.

Seeing this is seeing through the system of power and coercion. It bears repeating, but that's why the term is meta.

I see that people are having some troubles with my terminology, so instead of meta male, you may consider the term ur-male (with ur in its original Germanic meaning 'thoroughly'). A person is a male not because of what he does, but things he does pertain to his maleness. Hope it helps.

in wolves, it literally means the parents of the rest of the pack

the dumb definition applied to people basically just means "more driven than average"

please start using the definition used for wolves when referring to people, for simplicity's sake

It would be fun to enforce a alpha-beta distincion in law. Only those randomly designated as "alpha" by a computer at birth may breed. The rest are castrated. Alpha`s will have to do nothing but breeding all day every day thereby making sex a boring and joyless thing for them. One half of the world would want to gently caress but be unable, the other half able and forced, but in no way willing. Should be a interesting experiment.

its fun to go on redpill and click the profiles of the self-identified alpha males. they are universally very out of shape, wear fedoras, play video games, own multiple guns. it takes a special kind of insecure to read male cosmo dating tips on reddit and not be self-aware. lol if you have to put even a slight amount of effort into sex having.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

so do you refuse to treat language as anything other than prescriptive, or are you just so much of a sperglord that you don't understand that it's possible for language to be anything but prescriptive
