		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been reading your book, and honestly, this has made so much sense of so many things I had trouble understanding. It&#039;s strange... a while back I was in a relationship with a girl for about a year and a half. This girl was beyond blatantly hypergamistic(word?) and I was beyond alpha, but it came to me in a different sense. It came to me in the idea that I am that which deserves my most respect, and anything that shows me less respect than I do should be done away with - without blinking an eye. I lived that life for a while. Only by the end of our relationship did I start becoming beta (worst mistake of my life) and in the snap of a fucking finger, she was done. Albeit, I was also done so the transition wasn&#039;t hard, but the point still remains. As soon as you stop putting your respect as top priority, in anyone&#039;s eyes including your own, you lose.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&gt;&gt;Would you have women go hungry, homeless and unprotected 

there&#039;s an inifinite supply of them, so who cares?

&gt;&gt;just so that you begin to look like a good alternative?

Maybe ==you== posture yourself as the Best Provider. That is not my strategy.




&gt;&gt; It stands to reason that one of the three women I’m currently ‘dating’ are at the expense of someone else’s missed opportunity. 

My missed opportunity to feed and gift them? Can you PROVE to this audience that they are ONLY dating you?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[...] Suddenly a girl agrees to go out with him and he has no plan for a date. What this telegraphs to her is she&#8217;s agreed to a date, agreed to potential intimacy, agreed to a hypergamic assessment, with a guy who hasn&#8217;t thought past the getting a date part. His lack of a plan revealed his Beta essence – he wasn&#8217;t expecting to succeed, she detects this on a limbic level, and the context, the frame, of the date becomes one of working back from a Beta presupposition.

		<description><![CDATA[[...] Upping the Alpha doesn&#8217;t mean offing the empathy. Game doesn&#8217;t mean learning sociopathy – it means learning control of one&#8217;s psychology. Most Betas find themselves miserable because they&#8217;ve been raised to believe that self-expression and open communication of emotions are the keys to successful living with women. It&#8217;s interesting that for all the understanding about how women are wired for emotion and men are wired for reason that it should be the men of the last generations who are more emotionally expressive than any preceding generation.

		<description><![CDATA[Funny thing is the same women who want a greater beta will still, at the end of the day, look at him as a boring beta. Women understand the alpha/beta dichotomy. They may not call it that, but they know it when they see it. And if they don&#039;t know which one you are, they&#039;ll shit test you until they find out. Women naturally have to put you into a box (ironic huh, feminism?)]]></description>
