He walked with purpose everywhere and immediately cowed men into … Read more

One of the traits of the beta is that he is uncomfortable with animal sexuality — his own and especially that of the women he craves.

A friend, who is a good person despite his penchant for finding humor in the suffering of others, trawled one of those sad-sack internet support groups and forwarded me this plaintive wail from a man(?) who is losing his hair and blaming it for his collapsing marriage.

Most women, and some men, believe that the bitterness and misogyny of beta males accounts for their failure with women. That betas are their own worst enemy.
