tl; dr: My close friend is really Alpha, I've been Beta but trying to change thanks to swallowing TRP. He always pulls women, but lately I've started to get more attention from them due to my life changes then he has and he now he tries to cockblock me, or he gets really angry, or he tries to go back when I'm not around to f-close her. He seemingly doesn't like it if I pull a woman when we're out together but I've always felt I was supportive of him when he does it. What should I do about this as he always has been a good friend except now.

INTRO: Alright gents here's the deal. I swallowed the red pill a little over a year ago. Still a whole lot to learn but because of you, I've gotten better with my finances, stopped going after drunk landwhales in bars (LOL on me), and have hit the gym. I was and am still pretty beta but on a goal to drop 60 pounds and I have lost the first 25 already. I don't get drunk anymore, stopped smoking, and have invested in buying better clothes. I'm saving for a newer car, and moving to a newer more luxurious apt. in the next few months. Have deleted my Facebook / Snapchat (time wasters). Watch a lot of documentaries / Ted talks. It's going to take time to be the man that TRP says I should be but I think it's coming along. That's due to you. You are changing me and I realize that I have value, something I didn't know before. Thank you.

BODY: One of my closest friends a guy i've known for years, a guy we'll call Barrett, is pretty alpha and maybe that's why we've hung out so long and so much. Before TRP I really truly admired just the general way he lived his life. I idolized how he would handle women, have them come up to him, and fuck them. He knows his shit and has been banging married, engaged, and taken women for a while now. He spins a lot of plates, and has total control over his main girl--- wow I've never seen a woman so willing to do anything for her man. She LOVES him and He gives zero fucks and bangs whatever girl he picks up at the bar that night. He's just purchased a new car and he's cocky as fuck. He straight talks shit to women, tells them they are not shit then bangs them the same night. Someone recently mentioned on the main TRP sub about Chad Johnson and Barrett is exactly like that, except he's biracial and maybe a bit shorter. Before TRP I couldn't understand how this works but I get it now, I get the science of handling your shit.

In the interest of being fully honest with you, I of course am the "ugly Beta best friend". I need to find it, but in terms of the psychology of dating behavior, they've found in studies that when you have two males out in public and one is attractive and one is ugly, the ugly male makes the attractive male even more appealing and women flock to him at rates higher than if the attractive male was out by himself. So just my being there amplifies his pussy pull. I'm the plucky little sidekick.

Usually when we go out, 97% of women approach him, they start talking then usually he bounces with them to go fuck them, him and I meet up the next day and he tells me how much of a whore she was. Rinse, wash, repeat for years. The other 3% of women that used to approach ME are landwhales, or just weird (blue hair, all tattoed up and shit, ultra feminist wanting to talk about why Hillary is the best ever, once it was a lesbian who wasn't sure if she was a lesbian and wanted advice?? Being beta SUCKS).

There's truth to upping your SMV. The reason I'm writing this morning is because I've noticed in the last few months that he really struggles when a high quality female approaches me or I approach her and we are talking. The more weight I've lost, the more women have begun approaching me and the higher quality they have been. It's not a lot of women, just more than have ever approached me ever when he and I are out. Last night for instance, we were out at a bar one of our usual haunts. Barrett was trying to talk to a girl that approached our table but she was trying to talk to ME. He kept trying to get her attention, kept interrupting us, kept trying to redirect the conversation to some other non related shit. It got uncomfortable to the point that she told him, "LOL, you're being kinda a dick right now to your friend let him speak I wanna hear him." He looked pretty upset, I got her phone number and after she left he spent no less than the next 20 minutes telling me I need to be careful, she's a whore, shes not good for me and he can tell shes gonna be trouble.

As I started thinking about it, I realize its been several times that we're out and a woman that he's going for sidesteps him for me and he tries to cockblock me or goes on a rant of how much a bitch she is. Like once he dropped that I "used to be super fat with man boobs" in an attempt to draw her attention from me to him and embarrass me. I got pretty upset about that and asked him what the fuck he was doing and he said he did it to try to make us laugh and it was no big deal, I was taking it too serious and he didn't mean any harm. The girl didn't seem to care though and it actually worked for me cause she liked I was in the gym. Maybe I was taking it too serious but her and I were having a pretty decent conversation which is difficult in the bar scene and he ruined it. Other occasions might see me practice being bold and going up to a hot girl and talking to her and he always jumps in, always tries to draw her attention away from me. This works about 2/3 of the time but that 1/3 I meet with some level of success, then he just... really he starts acting like a little bitch and ranting and complaining how she wasn't into him. We went to a new bar this week and the female bartender that he tried to holler at, ignored him, and instead was talking to me. He embarrassed us by cussing her out, not tipping and storming out the bar like a little bitch--- and that's coming from me, the beta friend. Clearly once again he ranted on how much of a bitch and ugly whore she was to him. I obviously went back, apologized and her and I are going out this week (I haven't told him). It's to the point that sometime ago,he and I went out, and again, a girl he liked wasn't into him; she spoke with me and I got her number. Then later that week, he went back to the bar without me and f-closed her. He called me and once again said "he was trying to protect me and could tell she was a slut." I realize I should have tried to f-close the same night I got her number but it wasn't going to work for me due to some other stuff.

So it's not just that he doesn't handle me talking to women but there is clearly some need for domination going on and competition. Obviously, something in him made him go back to that specific bar, make a beeline for the girl I was talking with, try again, get her super fucking drunk and fuck her, then tell me about it. Usually if I'm "on the hunt", I go out by myself to bars he doesn't go to and I've had some level of success without him. I f-close much more frequently on nights when he's not there. Also, to get higher level women, I'm not exclusively going to bars I'm also talking to them in my day to day life, again places where he normally isn't at.

I don't want to dump the friendship over women, I think that's stupid. I've known him for years and we really have helped each other through several difficult situations. (I've loaned him my car, I've stayed at his place, he got in trouble with the law, I bailed him out, I've been jumped he jumped into the fight and saved my ass, etc) Plus I know you're supposed to always be gaming women. So I get that too. It's just... it's annoying that any woman in my sights he feels he has to intercept.

How do I take control of this situation?
