You seriously dont believe some men are alpha or beta?

>>9601370
W-what? This is a paradox

>>9601378
The concept has been dismantled soo many times now.

>>9601223

The "alpha" and "beta" shit is just pathetic self-help tier shit that retards like to parrot based on a flawed study of wolves in captivity that even the biologist who oversaw it now denounces.

It's literally all in your head.

A really heavy one you can lift until you have muscles.

I own this book. I read a few chapters of it in HS and now it's idling on a shelf in my parents' house. I was ashamed of it for a little while but I might actually read it again now...but then again I've been getting laid without it, so maybe it would only fuck me up more. idk

You've still got a purpose is this world, comrade.

>>9601378
>>9601453
people actually fit their world view on an oversimplified version of a thesis debunked nearly a century ago...

>>9601223
Why do you want to stop being a beta? The world needs good soldiers.

>>9601223
To start: don't read a book on it. You need to do a lot of social stuff with actual, hopefully well-rounded people.

Step one: go outside and talk to others. Don't share interests? Tough shit. Being an "alpha" is inherently social. If you don't get along with anyone, you're fucked from the start, so change yourself of move (hint: the latter won't help you, much). Nervious? Of course you are, that's what makes you what you are: a basement dwelling 4chaner. Just suck it up and do it. If you're hopelessly incompentent, start with older folks: people 70+ years old. They will only VERY rarely reject someone who wants to listen to a story. Get to an old-folks home and ask about the Cold War or something. Work your way up from there.
Step two: learn to properly interact with the fairer sex, i.e. like a normal human being. More experience will teach you that women, like everyone else, are people. Shocking, I know. So start from there, and over time you'll learn the more subtle things. What they like to hear and when they like to hear it.
Step three: stay with it. If you get discuraged after a week of everyone thinking you're a weirdo for wanting to do stuff, you will NEVER. CHANGE. Be a fucking man for shits sake, if you can't handle a few people thinking you're a bit off - which, by the way, they probably already do - then you'll just fuck back around HERE and start bothering US about it again.

Now, what to do socially... Why don't you try new things? Things that will get you away from 4chan a few hours.
Fishing perhaps? The occasional fisherman you'll see is usually quite open and nice. I don't know your physical health, but there ARE sports clubs and teams for non-professional adults around. Tennis, golf, soccer, hockey, whatever. Not in shape but want to be? Try the gym. You may be a sad sack of slop now, but a few months of steak and hard work will have women dripping off you - to say nothing of the massive Respek Nukles your new bros will give. If these are all too steep, try the library. A popular one, of course. If you notice someone reading a book by an author you like, try to strike up a conversation.

tl;dr - go outside and DO SHIT. DO IT TILL YOU DROP.

No More Mr Nice Guy by Robert Glover

Playboy Magazine

>>9601278
I used to have the yellow fever bad when I first started watching porn. Idk what the fuck was wrong with me. I mean, I'm still attracted to some Asians, but not to the point where I jack it exclusively to Asians.

>>9601223
I only started reading this book recently, but Thus Spoke Zarathustra has really been inspiring me to not be a lazy piece of shit.

Starting strength and following the program plus a heartfelt reading of Seneca will help you directly. Find an interest that isn't solo like reading is.

that's literally true though. No man that you would respect in normal life calls himself an alpha, he just behaves with confidence and does what he wants.

>>9601876
Lgbtqp look it up.

>>9603028
>No man that you would respect in normal life calls himself an alpha
of course they don't, that doesn't mean that they aren't an alpha, that's the point of the image, you obviously make the distinction between losers and confident, successful men but at the same time you claim the alpha/beta distinction isn't real

>>9602938
The concept exists, the thing is that the real alpha men in history don't give a single shit about it. Most of them were in the military and they would beat you silly for attempting to deride the value of betas like the omega chimp you are, because they make up the army.

>>9601223

>>9601265
ahahahahahh you fucking retards never cease to amaze me

>>9603090
what are you on about, retard? I never said real alpha men give a shit about, just that the concept does exist

>>9603100
My point is that alphas think it's pathetic too, you degenerate little cunt.

>>9603110
okay well I never said they didn't, that doesn't mean it's not real as some people here have claimed, you degenerate breathing abortion

>>9601223

>>9601282
same here anon
it's awesome

>>9603124
fuck

>>9603117
Just because the concept exists doesn't mean it's valid or even valuable. You even responding implies that you think it does.

>>9603155
But you admitted it's valid by saying that there really are alphas and betas you fucking braindead moron.

>>9601223
Das Capital

>>9603174
Existence =/= validity when we're talking about concepts. Lots of dated concepts still exist but have long since been invalid, some upon the moment of their inception, like this one.

>>9603262
it is valid because alphas, betas and omegas do exist, always have and always will, you just don't want to believe it because you're a beta like me

>>9601297

Only right answer.

>>9603273
To speak in your terms, believing it makes you omega. At the end of the day it is a measurement by the desperate, not fact.

>>9603303
oh it's a measurement by the betas, I see

Maps of Meaning.
Clean your room, sort yourself out.
Understand that any ability comes with practice.

>>9603312
Omegas, since the model is worthless like them.

>>9603345
and yet you just used it, and I understood what you meant because it's a useful model, I'm glad you agree with me

>>9603084
The concept is simplistic. You're hated here because you're spooked by a reductive framework, not because you're soooooooooooooooooo perceptive for noticing differences between different people. You lack life experience yet write as if you have much and it's transparent. You're right to think people here want your pseud throat slit but it's only because you're aggressively under-read, not because of your le red pilled spooks.

>>9601223
If you want the honest truth, man, no book will ever help you if you don't change from the inside out.

Once you change your mind and improve from the very bottom depths of that shit-tinged effervescent faggotry called a soul, literally any book will have lessons you can apply to be a better person and attract all the >9000 qthoneys.

>>9603353
I'm using it because I'm talking to you. You don't talk to someone or something who speaks a different language than your own, that would be pointless, like speaking English to a dog. This does not imply I find it useful.

It is useless for a multitude of reasons, including:

>nothing is really gained from discussing it
>there is a lack of acknowledgement of the value of everyone other than "the one" i.e. alpha (the military, which is a prime example of what recognized hierarchy looks like, does not consider the general to be the only valuable member and never will, otherwise it couldn't operate)
>there is a negative connotation in it which renders it unproductive
>the roles are relative by nature
>the common definitions of these roles don't apply in the current molding of society or they justify unsuccessful and useless people by proper standards too often (let's face it, some retard working at McDonald's could have all the confidence in the world, and could even be getting laid regularly, doesn't mean he's worth shit)
>the people that the model praises have no need for the model and would never apply the model for all the reasons above I stated

Sharing a story about average married life? The race of my wife doesn't change day to day life, anon. Stop believing /pol/ nonsense; the races are only different in superficial ways 99% of the time.

>Had kimchi and kalbi
>Talked about current events in our lives and from around the world
So very, very different from
>Go to in laws
>Have steak and potatoes
>Take about current events in our lives and from around the world

Stop getting so spooked by race and stop going to /pol/ and/or letting their rot into the way you perceive the outside world.

>>9603345

>>9603437
i think it's more the difference between classes that people misattribute as the difference between races.

>blacks are assumed low class
>asians in white society are upper middle
>whites are middle
>jews are business moguls

for a family like mine, instead of your
>Went to in laws for dinner
>Had kimchi and kalbi
>Talked about current events in our lives and from around the world
it would be more akin to
>Stuck going to gf's family event
>They served some traditional food and tried at every opportunity to show gf I'm a shit choice and an outsider who can't adapt to her "traditions" (greek)
>They made a fucking "ruckus" instead of being raucous, and rather than talking about anything important they did the in-person equivalent to shitposting about past glories

i've actually gone to the zoo with the gf and she's made the comment that interacting with the monkeys is more civil than her family gatherings.

have a feeling the intention here >>9601997
was asking about a story that portrays why you don't necessarily regret marrying an asian rather than wondering what it's like to be married to an asian. maybe i read too much on the positive side.
