Just read a post on the main sub " betas tend to lose relationships when they try to take charge without any earned respect". How do you know you have earned it?

Think about how you act with a male you really respect. It's different with chicks, but the concept is similar.

She'll start asking your opinion on what she should do; she'll start deferring to you, and so on.

You can get out of a beta position by passing the shit tests and maintaining your frame.

Betas make the mistake of actively trying to gain respect by engaging the woman in debate, a fools attempt. Women feed off emotional reactions, its how they maintain control of the man.

The key is to display emotional independence from the woman.

Alphas take respect, they don't engage in debate about it. They will do it their way and so will the woman. No discussion. If the woman rebels she will find herself arguing with nothing but air. The alpha does not need the permission of anyone let alone the woman, she will either respect him or take a hike.

Betas unfortunately try to take charge with the hope of saving the relationship, alphas take charge of their own lives and the women fall in line or hit the bricks.
