I find that this is completely separate topic that always gets clumped together under the banner of "game", if it is ever addressed at all.

Alpha game is just about building attraction and closing quickly. That's it. You go to a club or mall and get a girl purely through raw attractive qualities that can be communicated effectively in a short period of time. This is a very unique skill set that is developed by constant exposure over a long period of time.

For the average guy this is a LOT of work that will not pay off for YEARS.

A guy who is just starting out will have better results by attending events where the same girls show up repeatedly and he can get to know them over time.

This is essentially "beta" game. "Alpha" game is picking up a girl the same day, "beta" is picking a girl up over the course of weeks or months (not years lol). While this is not the epitome of game by any means it is still effective.

A quick note needs to be made here that if you are a hardcase with excessive social anxiety and neediness you will have to get that sorted before this will work.

The basic idea is that a girl will have sex with a guy in a short span of time because he's Alpha and her sense of urgency kicks in to secure his seed as quickly as possible, she will also have sex with a guy over a longer period of time because he's Beta to secure his provision.

When you go the Beta route you don't need nearly as much refinement in skill. You just have to get her to laugh every once in a while, gradually share information about yourself, ask her questions, have basic skills in eye contact and body language, and ask for her number after enough time has passed (different in every situation).

The Beta approach isn't a good long term plan because once she's used to you and gets bored she won't be interested in sex anymore (unless she has a crazy high sex drive). In this situation Alpha characteristics can be added into the mix to throw her off guard and want you more.
