re: cuckolding 

It&#039;s not that women want to betray their genetic kin. This would be counterproductive for their own genes. If women had the capacity to do this, they would dilute their genes on purpose. 

Human instincts serve survival goals. I would postulate that female emotions help to survive ordeals. It could be that all the women that resisted the invasion of other tribe males, didn&#039;t pass on their genes. 

In other words, in an environment, where you are powerless, you better like being raped or else you are dead. You better be sexy enough for the invaders to fall in love with you and want to provide for you.

Also, if as a woman you are already being taken by the invaders, that means that your tribe males have failed at protecting you and THE ONLY way of passing on the genes of your tribe is to be attractive to the invading males, so at least half of your genes survives. 

In a sense sexy, submissive women aka War Brides are a way for the partial survival of the tribe, when it had already lost. Our grandmothers were attractive enough...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as many men who are alpha to begin with dont know why, many men become more alpha with age and also dont know why. Alpha Beta is a continuum and many men move towards the Alpha end of the spectrum with age, often imperceptibly.
It does frequently happen that a pretty boy or baby face becomes a rougher manlier man with the passing of a few years. Alphaness is often simple manliness which includes basic physical attributes like skin, muscle, posture and voice, all of which can change substantially, if imperceptibly, making a large cumulative difference over a period of 10 years. 
The real test is whether younger women (i.e. teens and early twenties) women who are not looking to lock down a husband are interested in him. If late 20s women are going so far as approaching him (which doesn&#039;t happen to most Beta men even from older women), there is a good chance that he has indeed become more manly with age. 
if this is the case, he should capitalise on this and make the best choices for himself. He seems to have enough awareness to be wary of womens intentions. This a good thing as it will help to refine his judgement.
His ex girlfriend that cheated on him with a professor may have done him a favour by improving his understanding of women. Sometimes bad experiences can help to mold a man and make him stronger and wiser, which can help to achieve a better life later on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Stephen actually changed and became more masculine with age, because he is of the late bloomer type, then he should be able to successfully pull pre-Epiphany women. If he can&#039;t do this, then we have our answer: pre-Wall women are lying to you. 

Late blooming is a possibility. Some guys just get things like facial hair, higher lean body mass, wider chest, loss of facial puffy fat and squarer chin in their late twenties. That is a good moment to start dating college chicks, but you have to go to places to find them. They are not in your age/career cohort. 

There is a lot of genetic diversity in the gene pool. Just look at Hafþór Björnsson who portrayed Gregor Clegane in Game of Thrones. The guy is 25 years old, but looks not like a student, but a mature 40 yo beast. There are guys his age who get asked for their ID when they want to buy beer...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One more note: 

I got defensive @ thedeti&#039;s post.  There is a reason for this and beta men need to take note:

What is your attachment to being beta? What is the deal with your identifying with it? What are you *getting out of* maintaining your identity with being beta?

The paradox here is all the stuff Rollo&#039;s writing about is true, and rage/denial are natural phases to go through -- but identifying with blue pill reality has &quot;benefits&quot; to it as far as our subconscious mind goes.

My theory, based on my own experience, is that having been an isolated, lonely beta, etc....is a *QUALIFICATION* for intimacy.

Deep down a part of me thinks there&#039;s a benefit to having suffered so much, and I hold onto that suffering, because I think I can use that suffering as a *QUALIFICATION* for intimacy --

-- intimacy in the form of acceptance, sympathy, girls wanting to have sex with me out of concern for what I&#039;ve been through --

-- of course, this is ridiculous. But I think this is a major driver. It&#039;s a subconscious remnant of having been conditioned into the FI.  

Look at all the romantic movies where that happens. The loser guy finally gets the girl. IRL it doesn&#039;t work like that.

If you want to be alpha you have to let go of the beta -- Rollo says &quot;kill the beta.&quot;  

I really think expanding on that theory is necessary. I&#039;ve been studying a technique based on NLP and have used hypnosis to successfully get rid of people&#039;s migraines and even some emotional traumas. It&#039;s amazing stuff.

Anyway, it deals with *inner belief systems*. Killing the beta is the goal, but...no clear instructions on how to do that.

You do it by changing your belief systems. And a big part of that is letting go of what&#039;s keeping you identifying with being a beta.  Deep down you still think there is some benefit to being beta. It&#039;s protecting you. 

It could be because the FI has conditioned you into believing that women care what you&#039;ve been through, and your suffering qualifies you for respect and intimacy. In reality it&#039;s the opposite.  You have to play your cards right and be careful about what you reveal.  

I just woke up but this hit me like a train this morning. Hopefully this makes sense to you guys and you can get what I&#039;m saying.  I can&#039;t emphasize how important this is: it&#039;s actually central to transforming yourself and changing your behaviors.

I was only able to ignore my ONE-itis/LJBF and other girls and start focusing on myself once I understood this on a visceral level.  When I realized that there is NO BENEFIT to being beta. That the programs in my mind are both outdated and COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE to my well-being.

FI conditioned me to believe being beta was in my best interest. It&#039;s in women&#039;s best interest and women&#039;s best interest alone. Once you realize this on a *visceral* level, the behaviors can change.

Intellectually understanding RM will not help you on its own. You have to integrate it on a deep, limbic level.  The anger, jealousy, resentment, etc., are symptoms that the beta programming is still alive and kicking inside of you.

Memories buried alive never die. Bring the programming to your conscious mind by asking yourself what benefit you&#039;re getting out of being beta -- and then make peace with it and let it go, so  you can make room for alpha behavior. Be a better version of yourself.  

I&#039;ve been having some breakthroughs lately. A lot of thanks to this blog -- but reading this blog combined with the emotional work I&#039;ve been doing on myself with NLP (a form of it, anyway) has made the real changes.

Of course if RM didn&#039;t exist I wouldn&#039;t have had my eyes opened to reality and I&#039;d still be trying to get my blue pill fantasy. I&#039;d be trying to heal my emotional issues while still believing in the blue pill conditioning...and maybe then I would&#039;ve been completely hopeless. This blog has been pivotal for changing my life for the better.]]></description>
