No, I dont think you do.

Besides, it looks like you only define yourself in terms of success with women, which means you are still beta. An alpha gets women when he wants them. You still obsess about it.

Does an alpha male surf because he enjoys surfing or because he worries about what other people think about him and wants to use it impress women? If you only do things that you think will help you make progress with women, then you are by definition beta.

LOL :D Your comment actually made me chuckle, cause no where did I point out that success with women = alpha, as you would have seen by the link I posted. I'll stop this back and fourth banter here. Say what you like, I've too much time already on this discussion.

Getting a little sour are we? You may need to read the first point from this before going any further

I get the point. What if this, what if that. There are too many "what if's " in this world.
It's beta because thinking of such things doesn't really help you progress any where with women.

Lot's of inspiration within the post and your perspective..

But Amiable people have and will always reject tough love .. throwing such at them has as much positive results as squeezing your keyboard for lemon juice does.

For eff sake....

You think that such thinking is beta, therefore you label me beta.

I am not wishing that this was the case. It was a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. Operative word, experiment. EXPERIMENT. As in not real. As in will never be real. As in not my desire to make it real. Get it?

And I find it funny that all the so-called alphas like to label everyone as beta. Ooh look at us, we read a book on dating theory and now we is teh experts and definitely alpha. Lol!

I improve myself every day. I work hard to better myself. I've already started my own business, and admitted failure, but it didnt deter me. How many of you so-called alphas have started your own businesses? How many of your fears have you conquered?

How hard do you two try to improve yourselves? How hard do you fight against your own nature? I fight myself every day - what do you do? I learn and I grow and I change into who I want to be. I don't accept the status quo. I question and I don't accept what others tell me at face value.

Chances are 100%, everyone posting in this thread is betas. I don't exclude myself from that. A real alpha couldn't care less about these type of threads.

That said, experiments should be fun, and this one didn't seem fun to me, more like hitting your head against a wall on purpose, instead of finding out what actually work from those who are successful at these things already. Far easier to learn that way than to try the hard way with experimentation IMHO. Thus, I don't think this thread will go further than derailing into a who is an alpha and what not, when in fact, everyone here is not. Besides, who cares, the world nowadays is structured to help betas get everything they want or desire. Alphas have very little benefit over betas nowadays.

ok i'm going to tell you the story of my life with my husband. and boy do you want to listen.

we have been together for 24 years now and we do everything together. well that's how he wants it. if we go shopping, he is with me. if i am in the kitchen he wants to know what i'm doing. at times i feel it's a bit too much. the only time i get time to myself is on a thursday night when i go to my trivia quiz night with my friends and then he is waiting up for me when i get home.

on sunday i did the 10k walk with friends of mine, he didn't want to do the walk. while i was out enjoying my walk, i kept getting messages on my phone from him asking me how things are going, what time do i think i was going to be finished, how were the girls doing etc. when the walk was finished, he was there in a flash to pick me up.

if i go anywhere he drops me off and picks me up. my friends always laugh, if something goes a bit wrong like the quiz might be a bit late or something, my friends will say, "here comes celine's husband". they know him too well. he's just a gentle person but very concerned about me and the girls.

he won't allow me to go out and work. i have had a few job interviews and as soon as i tell him i have the job, he will tell me not to take the job and come up with some excuse for me not to work.

some may think it's controlling but i'm just in a happy place with the way things are between the 2 of us.

Seems a little OTT but the doing stuff together is nice :)
SO and I do absolutely everything together and that's the way we like it. From shopping to cooking to cleaning the cats mess or doing my hair. Though I wonder if he only does shopping with me to try and score sweets... If we want or need to do something by ourselves we just say so but we are always happy being 'alone together'. eg he plays a game while I read my book. He always knows where I am, for safety reasons. We are best friends :)

:erm:

Just because you're happy with him being a control freak doesn't mean he's not a control freak. I'm not judging - what ever makes you happy - but, let's not pretend that's a workable or desirable scenario for most people.

Takes a special kind of woman to see it that way.

Also restores hope in the possibility of understanding between two people in a heterosexual relationship
