Findog said:I just have to jump in here: if being a "beta" male is so bad from the perspective of having success with women, then why do beta traits continue to survive from one generation to the next?
Both of you are correct, because both of you are talking about two separate things (regarding the overall traits of a beta, not just with women).( . )( . ) said:Because unleashed hypergamy and c*ck carouselling has only been the standard average for the past 4 or so decades.
I think we all agree that the general definition of a "beta" is a follower. Nature dictates if you have 100 males of any kind living together (lions, dogs, humans, you can name just about anything that lives in a community), you can only have so many leaders... certainly not the majority, certainly not even half, and probably much less than that.
Do we really believe that the humble farmers and peasants of 300 years ago were uber-confident Don Juans when it came to women? Maybe some of them were. Surely some had more self-confidence than others. But to assume that the betas of 300 years ago acted radically different towards women than their current-day predecessors is a huge assumption.
I'm not blind to the past 40 years. The "unleashed hypergamy and c*ck carouselling" is absolutely in full force, and seems to be getting worse as time goes on. My personal belief is that this blitz has cemented the fate of many a beta male when it comes to women, in an age where they have no excuse for not grabbing their pair and stepping up to the plate.
