The other day on La Sexta, a Spanish TV network, they made a whole show about men teaching other men to be alpha. It was quite an awkward topic for a documentary. One of the things I noticed was that these beta males didn’t know how to act around women, but they were trying to get better, so they paid a lot of money to be taught how to act in a way that would make them chosen. At one point they were talking with an expert on the phenomenon, a woman who seemed attractive, seemed to have an alpha male at home, and seemed successful. She said they were trying to hijack a woman’s “no” by appearing different. I thought to myself that’s what courting a woman is, trying to impress her so she chooses you. This woman talking seemed successful in love, but when she talked about hijacking women’s brains, the realist in me saw it more as a worry that a beta might be mistaken for an alpha and destroy the whole operation going on.
