Nobody likes to be called a "beta male". Its like someone shouting "loser", but then adding "...with a chipolata sized dick" afterwards so you can't even bask in bum-chique on the off chance some girl finds low-lifes edgy and mysterious. As a pop-science term, its more often lisped by girly Mexicans explaining how to stop Fido from dragging his ass across the living room floor than to describe the human pecking order. When actually used to describe people, its one of those words thrown around by "pick-up artists" to describe the losers that didn't man-up, take that first important step and pay $500 for their life-changing course. For those of us too short-sighted to enroll into Fabio Fantastico's "How to Get Laid by Tricking Skanks into Sex", all is not lost.
The number of partners the average Joe is likely to have in his life comes out at around seven. Ask any guy that question while among people he knows and his answer will swell to 30+, which of course contains at least 70% lie. I can count "my number" on two hands and one foot. Given that I was born within 100 miles of a nuclear reprocessing facility, you can give me a few extra or missing digits leeway on that. The point is, you don't have to be angry at the world because you can't fill a stadium with the number of girls you've had a relationship with, and the vast majority of us are not.
Enter, the Internet Beta Male. For purposes of illustration I've used the perfect white knight scene in Back to The Future that's given the bitterly unlucky in love hope and revenge fantasies since 1985.
What? Seanbaby doesn't own that and I recently downloaded comic fonts, ok? We like to think of the stereotypical rapist as some kind of huge monster, probably black and definately evil. Hell, if we didn't interacial porn stars would be out of business and the KKK would have to stick to their day jobs. Of course, I'm not trying to undersell the asshole tendencies of mouth breathing gang-bangers; as far as treating women like shit goes, they're as good as any whitetrash. But I think you're more likely to wind up bound and gagged in the makeshift sex dungeon of the average nerd than anything that would make
Tom Shelly hard.
The Internet Beta Male is angry at the world, but happily goes below radar. Here, however, the whole "beta male" pigeon-hole is largely unspoken of. There are two reasons for this:
- Most of the internet falls into this category.
- The kind of people most likely to call it out are too busy not being on the internet.
Like rabbits (though obviously less successful at breeding) Internet Beta Males are cute, doe eyed creatures until you find thousands of them in one place, crawling over eachother and circlejerking furiously. The perfect example of such a breeding ground is 4chan's /r9k/ board.
For anyone still with a soul and has therefore never been, /r9k/ is basically /b/ if /b/tards were forced to say something original. The result is a tonne of angry virgins screaming about how fucking stupid women are because they can't see how nice they are and choose their boyfriends over them. If you
go there right now I'll give 2:1 odds that someone is whining about it right now. All such threads can be summed up simply:
- There's this girl I like. She is hot.
- I hang out with her and generally act as a dogsbody for her.
- She has a boyfriend who has never done a computer class, has friends and is therefore an asshole even though I'd steal her from him in a second if I had the courage.
- I bring nothing else to the table except try to worm my way into her life as a friend so I can fuck her.
- She is a stupid fucking whore because she can't see that I'm a super nice guy even though I don't have the balls to ask her out, instead I'm waiting for a time when she's weak then I'll strike.
- Why can't this dumb bitch see I'm a nice guy?
- Here's a picture of her I stole from her facebook.
Instead of pointing out the glaring flaws in this angry future rapemonkey's notion of a "nice guy", these posts are met with agreement that yeah, she MUST be a stupid piece of shit not to like someone like that. We're not talking high school romances here, lots of these people are well into their 20's and 30's.
In part two of this rant, I will explain an effective and appealing method of making that first move that doesn't require a set of balls.
