When discussing male behavior its easy to engage in the false dichotomy fallacy. That man is blue pill or red pill. He is either an Alpha or Beta. Behavior is something that falls along a spectrum. A man can hold contradictory blue and red pill beliefs in which case he is purple. It could also be that while he doesn't believe in the blue pill feminist paradigm, he hasn't fully integrated the Red Pill into his life. In such a situation the dude is pink pill. Just because a man isn't ultra red doesn't mean he's blue. Here are the three stages of Red Pill development.

Pre Alpha: A characteristic of Blue Pill men is that they can't/won't enforce acceptable behavior in their partner. A woman can rationalize almost anything to a blue pill man and he will go along with it. I cheated because I was confused. Im sorry it won't happen again. He kissed me, it was his fault. I just want to have fun with my girls, we can do what we planned later. All of these excuses work well on the blue pill man. On the other hand, the Pre Alpha will hold his ground no matter how she spins it, what emotional tactics she uses, or threats that she makes. He might not do this often or as much as he should, but there definitely is a red line. The mark of a Pre Alpha is someone who asserts alpha behavior in limited circumstances but is otherwise generally neutral.

Lets say Friday is your dinner day with your girlfriend. After work you cook something complicated expensive and nice for the two of you. Your girlfriend decides last minute to ditch you in favor of a girls night out. Her excuse is we always do this, I just want to have fun with my girls™. The true beta will accept this excuse or maybe whine, at which point she'll go off and happily grind on rando cock. The Pre Alpha on the other hand will call her out. When the: how can you say these mean things to me™, counter attack takes place he will continue his assault. That's how people like you deserve to be treated. Do whatever you want but some other slut is going to be eating my meat. A day or two later there is usually crazy hot makeup sex, because women are turned on when someone puts them in their place. A Pre Alpha's relationships are characterized by the dominance see-saw. His girlfriend is strongly attracted when he keeps her accountable and is generally neutral or disinterested otherwise.

Limited Application Alpha: A person at this stage of Redpill has a moderate understanding of the core Redpill concepts but sufferers from not being able to apply the theory to its full degree. The three obstacles for a person in this stage are familiarity ego and proficiency. Familiarity prevents a person from logically applying Red Pill theory to his family and friends. A person at this stage might make exceptions for the people he cares for. Unfortunately, these are the people whose behavior he has a vested interest in understanding the most. Likewise, his ego prevents him from fully understanding himself and his place in the social hierarchy. He might make excuses for himself ensuring his mediocrity. He may lack proficiency/experience in applying concepts in the field, coming across as try-hard or awkward and offending people with his inability to sell them Red Pill Theory.

Full Alpha: At this stage a person has a kind of sixth sense. Not only has he seen heard of and experienced the full spectrum of human behavior he has come to understand the biology behind it. Things become predictable almost boring. The factors that make and break attraction become obvious. A true Alpha knows why a woman hooked up with him or stopped seeing him and isnt bothered either way because its all part of a larger repeating pattern. He is first and foremost an amazing salesman. He says what he wants but in a way that is palatable and funny. Unlike the Proto Red Pill men, a Full Alpha knows when and how to break the rules for his maximum benefit. A Full Alpha can do some very beta things because his confidence is so high and his value is so apparent that its obvious that he isn't pandering or being a try hard. When its obvious that your a scummy player, asking a girls hand in marriage at the club is hilarious because the contradiction is apparent. Full alphas are seen as funny and unpredictable and so are given free reign to do more or less whatever.
