When it boils down to it, is it worth the effort to try and save/convert a friend that is just beta-to-the-bone?

A close friend of mine was trying to have a one on one with me last night, and seemed under the assumption that I would just agree with all the nonsense he was about to spout because he thinks I'm intelligent. All I could do as he opened his mouth was die a little on the inside, and instead of inputting some RP thoughts I just sat there and felt bad for the guy.

He started off on a tangent about how you have to cave to women's demands. His brother just got a dog because the girlfriend wanted one so badly, even though he didn't want one at all. Our other friend kept talking about how he should have stood his ground, and be a man. And all beta boy just couldn't fathom that mindset. "NO DUDE. If they want something YOU HAVE to give it to them or you're just going to be MISERABLE" "Trust me just do what they ask or its going to be bad news".

I feel like I should note that beta guy is literally always completely miserable in every relationship, and just won't learn from his mistakes apparently

He then continues onto the topic of how our other friend is just so "lacking life experience and experience with women". The guy who rotates 3-5 plates at a time, and is incredibly happy and successful in life... He is convinced to his core that he needs a relationship with a female to be happy, and is also convinced that he needs to essentially be the bitch in the relationship for the woman to be happy. Keeps going on and on, while completely ignoring the fact that he is incredibly miserable all the fucking time and even more so when he tries to get involved with a chick.

He then kind of switches topics to talking about our age (mid 20s...) and how its time to settle down and stop trying to hook up with chicks (hes never "hooked up" with a person in his life, hes just been in near sexless relationships). How he wants to find a woman to be with for the long haul and have kids with etc etc. All the while having no idea how women function and what they truly want out of a man.

Later on in the night we 3 start talking about a house warming party were throwing soon and beta friend chimes in "I don't think I'll be there". I mentally queue up "Dude... its a house warming party for your own fucking house are you serious?". "I've just got priorities man." The "priorities" he is referring to involve hanging out with some chick he met 1 time (and is bat shit insane) that lives states away, that he has been sending almost 50+ texts per hour to for the last week.

Is someone like this even worth saving? Or do me and friend #2 just go our own way and pity him while slaying all the local college meat. Has anyone ever reached someone so god damn deluded? Is it worth the time or effort, if they're someone you've both been friends with for 18 or so years?
