As more and more people are subscribing to this subreddit, I am coming to realize that there are a lot of betas posing as alphas and, IMO, misguiding those betas that come here for help. Every good post has a generalized theme of being a confident, dominant man, which is the best advice you can give. Then, I read betas posting about how to handle dick-craving bitch skanks and how to do whatever the fuck you want, and they are making the same claims of confidence and dominance. To me, those making those claims in a sexist context are truly betas posing as alphas. This post is meant to clear this up for the acclaimed beta trying to help himself become a true Alpha.

There is a fine line between cocky and confident. A Cocky Alpha is really an insecure beta trying to pose as a confident alpha. A Confident Alpha does not care what other's opinions are about them because they know that they truly are the alpha version of themselves.

One thing you must remember is that there are both alpha and beta females as well. An Alpha will seek an Alpha. A beta will seek a beta.

"People have a basic desire to feel good about themselves, and we therefore have a tendency to be unconsciously biased in favor of traits similar to our own." -Leonard Mlodinow, Subliminal - How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

This being said, a cocky person may feel that they are confident, but confidence runs parallel with humility. A cocky beta may feel the need to belittle females. This shows that they care too much about what others think. It shows that they need to inwardly/outwardly justify how much better they are. But like that quote said, you are biased to traits that are most like your own. Really, they are no different than the women they are fucking. They are betas bating beta girls. They might suggest something like, "Is the bitch being stupid? Tell her to fuck herself and move on to someone else.". These guys will only get so far because they don't know how to handle women, only fuck beta girls. If sex and sexist dominance is all you want, this is a sure fire way to get it as a beta.

As an Alpha male, I consider these cocky betas as BetaBate because betas end up with betas. I shake my head at their suggestions but l it keeps the path clearer for me to get real women. My advice to you betas seeking to become the Alpha version of yourself is to be confident, not cocky. Being an Alpha isn't just for getting women, though it is a beautiful perk. Confidence will get you the job you deserve. It will get you the pay you deserve. It will get you the sexy women worth having an actual conversation with before AND after you fuck them. To acquire your confidence you must BECOME the best that you can be, not pretend to be what you are not.

"We encourage man to cultivate traditional masculine values, attributes, and behaviors such as physical strength, financial achievement, and confident leadership, because those traits are valuable in themselves and also lead to greater success with the opposite sex." -Guurzak, What is the Red Pill?

If you treat women like whores, you will probably end up with whores. And you, too, would probably be a whore. The bang game isn't that hard. The fact of the matter is women like to open their legs and men like to stick their dick in between them. But just because your gain the ability to do that does not make you an Alpha. Don't be a douche.
