Interesting point.
Unlike a true alpha male, a bad boy frequently displays beta male qualities like envy, jealousy and possessiveness all of which are rooted in scarcity, insecurity and / or fear of loss.
This is a good point. It's true that a lot of "bad boys" also have beta characteristics. Of course, they do better with women than "nice guys" who have those same beta characteristics, but lack the confidence or dominance.

This point is the point that really needs to be driven home with people

Yup, so many people mistake this for alpha behaviour when it is nothing more than throwing your toys out of the pram

IMO "butt-hurt beta" has a good rhythm to it.

might as well ask here: I read that women care more about the way a man looks when they decide to cheat. Anyone else remember reading anything like that? I tried looking it back up again and couldn't find anything.

Well that is kind of a given. Physical attraction is the first form of attraction that normally occurs. Which emphasizes the importance in being fit.

the importance in being fit.
This is a topic that hasn't really been addressed in this sub much yet, but deserves a discussion of its own.
Beyond physical attraction, working out also releases dopamine into your system. It will force you to feel good. You don't have much of a say in the matter. Its like taking an antidepressant. On top of that, it will create more testosterone in your system especially after some heavy squats or deadlifts which will make you more aggressive, more confident, hornier, etc. On top of that, you'll start to look better. People will be attracted to you. People will complement you. Your confidence goes up. You become someone worth knowing all of a sudden.
Everyone should be really interested in fitness. The benefits snowball. Its crazy.

Exactly, eating right and exercising properly is extremely important, not just to attract the opposite sex, but for overall health. It's definitely something that is crucial both in the Red Pill of things and overall in life.
