Re: Need some advice

I don't have a problem with retracting some of that Gabriel. Sure. I was sort of working through it while I was posting. It's been a long time for me.
Change the alpha/beta thing to a leadership argument. In other words, developing leadership skills is desirable (from my experience) both on a personal level and also with relations with women.
Change the whole don't be a schmuck thing to qualify advice. Don't just accept everything at face value even if it is given with good intention. Which you are doing Gabriel. So I commend you on that. But don't reject it either because you have a bias or don't understand it.
Change the whole money power thing to: be your best. Be the best you can be. That makes more sense.
I think the modern liberal stereotype for beta male does exist and negatively influences a lot of men not be assertive in a healthy way. I also think this stereotype is unnatural from a biological perspective. I'm keeping that one but rewording it so it's appropriate. I'm also keeping what I have observed in reality among young people your age. That's reality. I'm not going to compromise observable reality and you shouldn't ask me to.
Ok.. I was being a little bit funny there with the smoke trail thing but I have often observed women say one thing and do another. This is a pattern I have observed. So many have told me they want the touchy feeling sensitive male and then date Mr. Macho and his Harley Davidson.
Next. If a person needs to change then... they shouldn't change? Are you asserting that it is desirable for no one to ever change because they should just be themselves? No offense Gabriel, but that's an infantile argument in my opinion and so I must disagree with you. Besides, I was simply providing a definition for a word based on my understanding. If you have another, feel free to share yours.
The rest of it is your misunderstanding of my message. I never told you to trick anyone. I certainly don't. I feel like a parrot telling you over and over and over again that women have important differences that if understood can help you communicate and interface with them better. If you want to ignore that assertion because you disagree with it, by all means do so. If you want to plug a square peg into a round hole, have it brother. Use a bigger hammer. But don't ask me to retract something that is obvious to me because I won't. You shouldn't try to turn something that can result in a rich relationship into something that is evil because of your preconceptions and lack of understanding and experience. You have so far always tried to frame understanding women for the purpose of interfacting with them in a relationship in a bad light and I DO understand it because of the whole PUA thing but what you need to understand imo has and is always this: knowledge can be used for good or evil. Use it for good. I do.
