Women like alphas. No one is denying that fact. Women like men who are attractive above all, who are also confident and make some money. Basically the 3 big things.

We are all not that. I am certainly not that. I'm introverted and have social anxiety, but what I lack socially I make up for in other ways. Like a lot of you; I have a great job and career. I have interests, hobbies, talents, and even some savings. I might not be the most attractive person, but I try to dress nicely and workout. I at least put in some effort. What I lack socially I make up for with substance. Like many of you- I might be beta, but I'm not hopeless. I'm sure there are so many people out there who are the same way.

Being in this age group women value alpha over everything and at this point nothing I've said is new to anyone. I think about stuff like this constantly. That tinder post that's been floating around shouldn't be surprising to anyone, but to me it's just upsetting. I've realized that I'm bitter. I'm bitter that women now will have fun and waste their youth on alpha assholes who are self absorbed and who will probably cheat on them. I can't help but sound like an incredibly huge white knight neckbeard right now... but I've become bitter because it's people like me who will be "available" to these women once they are through with alphas (or visa verse). When they are ready to settle down and find a man to support them that's when we start looking more attractive.

This realization is just so upsetting to me. I spend so much time improving myself not only for me, but in hopes that I can attract a female (no surprise). But it doesn't matter. You either have it or you don't when you're this age. Either women will acknowledge your existence or see right through you until one day they realize that they are developing wrinkles and their tits aren't as perky as they used to be. I feel bitter being a plan B. I want to have fun too and experience young love, but it's not easy for guys like me and we will end up waiting for our day to come in ten years when weekends won't be spent in bars and night clubs, but at lowes and home depot.

I feel like that's the future for a lot of decent guys and it's shitty.

edit- I'm 24

edit #2- Everyone seems to think I have confidence issues. I thought I understood what confidence was, but I clearly don't. Tell me what I need to do to fix this. I know I have a lot to be proud of and a lot of reasons to be confident in myself. I have a life that a lot of people would kill for and despite everything I have and have accomplished I let my social shortcomings define my confidence in me or at least let my social anxiety get the best of me when I know it shouldn't. So what should I do? What resources can I refer to? I plan to continue to improve my life with exercise, travel, and exploring new things. I've come too far to quit on myself. How do I just stop caring about what women think about me? How do I stop feeling like people judge me in social situations? What advice would you give to me?
