There’s nothing wrong with being a beta male. Beta males are the building blocks of human society. They are the unsung heroes, the soldiers in the trenches of human progress. Without them society wouldn’t be stable enough to lift our species much a above subsistence level. During the latest sexual dystopia more and more women have been forgoing partnerships with beta males and shooting above their market value for the few pinnacle alphas. That message to women has led to their decline in happiness among other things.
Now the title of this post is not in reference to the value of a man, be he alpha, beta, or omega. No, it is in reference to how it seems some typical American women can quickly categorize a man using her mental framework/shortcut. We all use these shortcuts. A simple example would be how we can recognize the different shapes, coats, colors, sounds, and sizes of the different breeds of dogs as dogs. When I say the stink of beta what I’m referring to is the underlying body language/dress/social cues that a man gives off and that a woman picks up and uses to slot a guy as an alpha or as a sucker, emotional tampon, LBJF, etc. For the more voracious of the female half of the species the latter description would be for the guys that women see as a kitchen bitch who live for the mere hope of sex.
A guy I know divorced his wife after 15+ years of marriage when her cheating ways finally were too much. He and his ex have a couple of kids and he put up with a lot of shit for the sake of his children. Post divorce he was doing pretty well with the ladies but after a couple of nudges in the right direction he took the red pill and immersed himself in game. He went from doing pretty well to absolutely mowing the ladies down. He was the one that came up with the term the stink of beta. What he was referring to was running day game while in the company of his kids. He said that the fact he had children would visibly confuse the women he was running day game on. Here is was running cocky/funny with a heavy dose of asshole game mixed in and yet he was also being a protective loving father. He also drove a mini-van for a while after his divorce and said that mini-vans are the ultimate in stink of beta.
A couple of weeks ago I was killing time playing online poker with imaginary money. When an interesting thing happened. A guy at the table had as his avatar a picture of himself carrying a child in his arms. The gal in the ’seat’ next to him engaged him in conversation and it went like this.
Bitch: Hi Jim.
Bitch: Hi Jim!!!
Jim: Hi
Bitch: How r u?
Jim: Fine, you?
Bitch: Bad 
Bitch: I need chips.
Bitch: Can you send me some?
Bitch: Jim?
Bitch: Jim, you there? I need chips?
Bitch: Chips????
Jim: No.
I liked his answer. She saw a guy who had a kid and probably figured she could pay a little attention to him and he’d just dump some fake chips on her. I have seen this behavior before on these tables. Some chick who thinks she’s hot, chats up some of the guys at the table and then hits them up for some free chips. In face to face interactions it’s not unlike the guy in Roissy’s post last week who refused to buy a girl a drink.
If you suspect that something you do may have the stink of beta about it for God’s sake, don’t succumb to a woman’s manipulations and prove she had you pegged correctly. She is preying on your white knight tendencies and your social desire to be accepted/liked. Women, shysters, and slick salesmen use the tools of influence to get what they want out of you for their benefit, not necessarily for yours.
