Why alpha and beta concept is so popular?

It’s only popular with insecure men, and men who are SUPER into casual sex.

If there is such a thing as alpha, it’s equivalent to just doing your own thing and owning it, without regard to what other men think, OR what women think. In my opinion, any body type, personality and interests/hobbies/careers is fine for any gender, as long as you’re respecting yourself and others. I also think that red pill men simply do not see the fact that millions and billions of average looking, mediocre people pair up and have sex every day. My long term sex partners have absolutely not been “chads”/extroverts/rich.

Also, I totally disagree with the concept that being attractive to ALL men/women should be anyone’s goal. That being said, health/nutrition/fitness is always a good choice for both men and women. Doesn’t have to be some bodybuilder bullshit. Don’t be overweight and don’t eat garbage/smoke/do drugs. Have basic hygiene. Try to encourage your mental health. Make efforts towards your financial well being. Clean your place and don’t give into slob behavior.

It’s pseudoscience BS. It’s easy to sell an ideology to vulnerable people. They exploit these men. They tell them it’s all society’s fault. It’s hard to be honest and own your shortcomings. Change is hard. But complaining? That’s easy. And their little red pill buddies just reinforce their worldview. They will never get women or the women they want. What they will get is attention and being part of a hateful community. They want that more than success in dating.

I would suggest three main reasons:

Scam. It's very easy to offer a low self-esteem guy with a quick fix for a "reasonable" price. It's just like Tinder with their programming (I still need some research on this, as I'm not very tech-savvy), they prey on thirsty single men, as they are willing to gamble away their money just to get into a relationship.
Entitlement and ego. It's always feel great to consider oneself as the better option and other people as doormats. Someone in this sub also point out, they have "invented" the whole concept of "sigma" male - the "I'm not like other alpha male" alpha male - and the "omega" male - the literal definition of a f-ing doormat.
The effect of false information in general. I have watched a youtube video in which they debunk the concept of Bermuda Triangle, and there is a lot of people who believe this thing. It's the same thing with this alpha/beta thingy: one it sets, it's extremely hard to retract what you've said

People don't like to take responsibility for their failures, so they look for outside forces to blame.

It's easier for most men to say "The reason why I'm not successful with women is because I'm not an alpha Chad." than it is for them to say "The reason why I'm not successful with women is because I'm a misogynistic, broke, socially awkward, out-of-shape slob."

The former is out of his control and thus not his fault. The latter is within his control and thus is his fault. In the former scenario, he can stay the same. In the latter scenario, he has to change. Change is hard. Staying the same is easy. We're wired for easy. It's a struggle, for sure.

because there are a lot of socially maladjusted people who desperately wish they weren't.

It don't even exist in wolves.

It puts everything and everyone into neat little boxes, making the big scary world easier to digest.

A combination of word games with the definition of 'alpha' and 'beta' along with a healthy dose of confirmation bias. We can all remember the status jockeying "AMOG" and the 'don't rock the boat' "beta", but once armed with these vague terms it's quite easy to miss out on all the folks who's personalities don't fit either category or how many variation of personality get classified as "alpha" or "beta" (or maybe even both) depending on the circumstance.

I think the concepts of alpha and beta are fallacious, because these terms describe originally a pack of wolves, and their habits are not completely like us (only the alpha male can breed the alpha female). If I would compare our species to another species, I would say many couples look like the whooper swan, monogamous for a very long time.

After, the alpha and beta concept is a belief for me, a belief which makes the "alphas" sure of themselves and the "betas" which want to look like "alphas" and it is probably self help for "betas". If they are happy like that, why not?

But this concept is problematic, because for me it is one of the origins of the incels. Why? In some of the view of the world of incels, there are three categories of men, the chad, the normie and the incel. So I ask myself a question: if the chad is the alpha, the normie beta, what is the incel? A man who can't seduce.

Toxic masculinity.

It's a simple perversion of the Yin Yang energy. Beta and Alpha do exist, but it's impossible to be solely one.

Because it is true. This sub is just full of a bunch of whiners. Stop being beta.
