But when it comes down to it, they talk the talk, but do they walk the walk? They promise you the world, but do they deliver on that? Even so, so many of us keep hoping and waiting for it to come. You may not get the massive fireworks at the start with a Beta boy. You might even dismiss them, at first, as boring. Mine kept simply showing up and being there for me. There was time spent getting to know each other. It scared me. I was used to intensity, followed by an argument that came out of nowhere, only for Bad Boy to disappear.

I tried to push Beta Boy away. Revealing the real me to him scared me. What if I repulsed him and ran away? It tapped into my greatest fear. I feared abandonment, so I guess was trying to end it, before he ditched me.

They are there for you. Fireworks, with dramatic break ups and intense reunions are not love. To avoid intimacy and true trust. The necessary ingredients for a healthy relationship. Without trust you can never reveal your true self to another person.

My beta husband knows me better than anyone else. He knows my flaws, all my weaknesses and fears. He has allowed me to be vulnerable, but has never used it as a weapon against me. Beta boys are secure in themselves.

Male or female. Bad boys are the opposite. They isolate you. They want to control you. Forget about ever mentioning male friends or colleagues. They even get jealous of your girlfriends! Yes, at first they might seem like the quiet puppy in the corner at the pound.

The one in the corner, hands down. Not the troublemaker. They can be strong for you when you need then to be. They will lift you up and support you. Exactly when you need it the most, the time a bad boy would run a mile. One minute they can be strong for you, the next you can be for them. They allow you to be yourself.

They love you unconditionally and expect to you to offer the same. My husband is step-father to my first born with my ex. We then went on to have a second son. But celebrating my career as a working woman as well.

Even tell me I look beautiful, still after decades of marriage. They treat all others as equal. Get over the Alphas and their dramatic peacock displays and pyrotechnics. Whilst the Alpha gets lost in the fog of the fireworks and disappears, Beta will be the one to stick around.

First published in Thought Catalog. I am going to share this article with him. I too tried to push him away as his kindness and vulnerability frightened me. I was so used to the crazy roller coaster relationship that I did not believe this could be real! I am so fortunate that I have this incredibly strong, loving and kind soul in my life. I agree completely that beta is alpha and I hope that all women who have such a man truly appreciate him.

I know I certainly do. He WILL change. An Alpha male is calm, respectful, gentle, open to discussion and reasoning, willing to see things another way.

When something goes wrong a beta blames everyone else for his failings. A beta male is constantly competing to be top dog without actually understanding what being a true alpha actually means. Betas belittle those around them to make themselves feel better. They lie, manipulate, And bully, And make terrible parents. There is the alpha-beta, he is the one that abuses and manipulates those around him, And blames everyone else for his failings.

Then there is the beta-beta. Meek, mild, quiet, no confidence, no drive, possibly low testosterone. Easily overlooked, introverted, probably a nice guy, But due to his feelings of inadequacy, has a pretty weak personality and persona. Then there are the Alpha-Alphas. Strong, confident, assertive, calm, outgoing but not overbearing.

Then there is the Alpha-beta. A beta male with the potential to grow into a full Alpha-alpha male. Is content with who he is, And is invested in growing himself and the others around him, supporting them to become the best they can be. It is really interesting how many Alpha males have come to the defense of Alpha males in this post, not noticing the subtleties of your post recognizing that not all Alpha males fit the bill, that you are describing a certain group.

And how in doing so, they fit themselves into that group, the one who is defensive, lacking self-awareness, and feeling ultimately insecure and angry.

You may have a point there. Thanks for reading it. Thanks Simon. I agree with you. I did say right at the start that not all Alphas are like that and I am only referring to the ones who are in this post. I have enormous respect for him, he has taught me so much.

I have learnt what the real meaning of unconditional love is, not only as I get this from him but as I love him unconditionally as well.

This post is spot on with my experience. I recently left a sexually, emotional and mentally abusive relationship with self defined Alfa. Your ex also sounds more like someone who was a Narcissist, which is my personal experience.

I am totally giving the Beta a shot now. I want someone that will be there. I always thought of myself as more of an female Alfa, so I wondered if this would be a better match for me. Beta men can be the most Alpha men of all. My husband is the strongest guy I know, I just needed to see beneath his less extroverted exterior.

So, I say, give those guys a chance. So no matter who you meet, watch not what they say, but what they do. Their actions are the most important thing to read, as narcissists can tell you anything they think you want to hear. Alphas- are confident and can overcome objectives. They are realistic dragon slayers with the skills and ability to prove it, modest or not.

Have low jealousy due to available options for the supply in demand. Nice guy- the one who waits around for the Alpha Beta left overs. You all need to get involved into contact sports or competitive sports to really understand the concept of the hierarchy. The way you describe your husband and situation sounds like you are in need of a girlfriend. The alpha male will not spend his time trying to impress anyone because in his mind that is pointless he has better things to do.

Canies will instinctively identify a human alpha male so observe how a man treats a dog and their interaction and you will know if he is a true alpha male of a faker. This amazing unique encounter literally involved a time investment of minutes on your part, but completely made this girls day and instantly moved you to the front of her lineup of male candidates. Just like online dating, your success ratio of cold approaches will still be low'ish depending on how good looking you are and socially aware , but remember, this is still a numbers game.

However, at an individual level, as somebody who's looking to improve your quality of life as much as physically possible, you and I can take advantage of this severely. Be that alpha guy who's unlike the rest of the beta males who are at home, sitting on their phone all day.

Strike up conversations with women when you want to, there is absolutely zero reason to be inhibited by the comfort of social media, as it will just have an overall net negative on your quality of life at the end of the day. This isn't just about approaching women either, social intuition and extremely low levels of social anxiety are things you will indirectly gain out of these interactions at an incredibly quick rate if you are consistent, and these interactions will also translate directly into your performance in job interviews, business presentations, public speaking, and any other medium where social skills are of the utmost importance.

The population of women continues to rise while the population of men continues to rise in parallel. Despite this, the proportion of men who are true alpha males that women want to be with continues to get worse. As the population rises, the proportion of beta males that women find unattractive will continue to trend in a pattern conducive to the success of alpha males. There's never been a better time to actually be what a stereotypical man would be on paper, because there really are none.

Instead of going home and just going through your phone for the rest of the day, go up to that chick in person.

Should things go well, you'd create a new dating option for yourself, and she will meet a high value man who can also improve her quality of life in return.

The risk:reward ratio on these situations is massive as the time investment for a cold approach is so low, and the impact they have nowadays is so high, and will continue to get higher. Things may be getting worse for the male population in general, but for you, things will get better if you take advantage of it. We won't share your information with anyone.

by vivian Jan 17, Relationships 23 comments. They go for the bad boys, or at least they did do until they got the secret I discovered the hard way. I was hooked on a bad boy when I was young. I would never have dreamed of dating a Beta male.

My attraction to him was instantaneous and intense. He consumed me. I felt safe. He was going to deliver this wonderful happy-ever-after he promised. It was a whirlwind romance.

But it descended into a terrifying, exciting rollercoaster. There were tumultuous fireworks, followed by chasms of hurt and pain. Round and round in a crazy cycle. It scraped bottom with me almost losing my life, as he squeezed my throat and told me to die.

I stayed with him for some time, even after that. It was a like a magnet that pulled me back and I was powerless to stop its force. But then the pain of leaving him was so great, I craved that high he could give me once again. I just wanted him to sweep me into his arms again and everything would be okay.

I did find the courage to leave, but only after marrying him and having his baby. I thought that each of these acts would finally prove I was worthy of him and make the relationship work. I was wrong. The relationship was doomed from the start. You could describe me, I guess, as an Alpha female. The mirror to him in a way. But all that confidence and cockiness I had when I was young, belied the truth that I never felt good enough. Deep down he was the same as me. Our baggage matched.

But I could hide my insecurities behind this role I played. It hid the fact it was me I needed to fix. That matching baggage feels familiar and comfortable. It felt right, like we just fit. It took many more to see myself for who I was, a frightened child inside the body of an adult. It hurt to see her. But I finally knew what I had to do to heal. Focus on her, learn to love myself and accept that I am good enough. I deserve better. Then I met my Beta boy.

Started dating a Beta male. I did it right this time, when I married him. But the ones who are, are all bluff and no substance. They say everything you want to hear and can sweep a girl off her feet. But when it comes down to it, they talk the talk, but do they walk the walk? They promise you the world, but do they deliver on that? Even so, so many of us keep hoping and waiting for it to come.
