So I was thinking, what if a guy displays both Alpha and Beta traits.
As in you're with a girl, and just after an arguably hotter girl is hitting on you in front of her and you deal with it great, you stare in her eyes like a puppy because you can't believe how beautiful she is.
Or she sees you having fun and talking with other women, laughing, flirting, but when she's with you to see why the hell are those women so excited and what's the big deal, you're acting like an idiot.
Or she's seeing you being assertive and indifferent when it comes to others, but when she tells you something she has your full attention and you run to do her bidding.
What is this girl thinking about those things? Is she flattered that only she can have this effect on you? Because obviously other women like you and you're not a pussy, but at the same time you treat her like a princess.
What do you guys think about that?

Sure. People are complex systems. They have genetic tendencies, cultural pressures, and childhood traumas, and everybody responds differently.
Over at Heartiste they used to have a complex vocabulary of great Alpha, Lesser Alpha, Greater Beta, Lesser Beta, Gammas, Sigmas, and a whole crapload of other things.

I was wrong. It wasn't Heartiste. It was Vox Day.
"Gamma: The introspective, the unusual, the unattractive, and all too often the bitter. Gammas are often intelligent, usually unsuccessful with women, and not uncommonly all but invisible to them, the gamma alternates between placing women on pedestals and hating the entire sex. This mostly depends upon whether an attractive woman happened to notice his existence or not that day. Too introspective for their own good, gammas are the men who obsess over individual women for extended periods of time and supply the ranks of stalkers, psycho-jealous ex-boyfriends, and the authors of excruciatingly romantic rhyming doggerel. In the unlikely event they are at the party, they are probably in the corner muttering darkly about the behavior of everyone else there... sometimes to themselves. Gammas tend to have have a worship/hate relationship with women, the current direction of which is directly tied to their present situation. However, they are sexual rejects, not social rejects."
