Beta Widowed, not Alpha

Acceptable-Truck3803 · 2025-12-04T00:49:09+00:00

Water is wet. Women and men get heart broken from both kinds of pairings. What an odd post.

shockingly_bored · 2025-12-04T11:24:27+00:00

Heartbroken? Not a chance.

Personally insulted? Absolutely.

Junior-Campaign-6326 · 2025-12-04T12:52:25+00:00

Not heartbroken but disgusted she gave a man beneath her a chance and got burned.

MarioWilson122 · 2025-12-04T00:43:11+00:00

Not really, she is more disappointed that she couldn't get the one she wanted sex from to be the boyfriend material. Instead, she likely had to settle with someone she wasn’t as into sexually, inorder to have a decent life. So yeah, if he is desiring other women, then it threatens her position, atleast in her mind, so she resents him doing so.

Women get upset when the SMV shifts in favor of men who were never the 9s and 10s in the timeframe of a woman's peak years.

OkOutlandishness6370 · 2025-12-04T00:26:42+00:00

Heart broken? No. Upset the meal ticket is gone/threatened, yes.

Edit: Not all women. Just the broken ones.

Kingcrow33 · 2025-12-04T12:25:55+00:00

That's because they put a "chad" into the category.

Demasii · 2025-12-04T03:45:24+00:00

"Husband material" aren't usually portrayed as wanting to f around.

TheOneWhoThinketh · 2025-12-04T00:28:00+00:00

More heartbroken, yes. But that is the result of larger expectations that didn't actualize. She will still think about the Alpha more and use him as a basis for comparison in a sexual context, and romantic relationships are based on sexuality.

Junior_Ad_3086 · 2025-12-04T04:27:24+00:00

most of the time she didn't just want sex with the hot stud.

DietTyrone · 2025-12-04T17:15:14+00:00

Naw. Sure, women will get briefly disappointed when the beta they kept around as a safety net option grows a pair because they just lost their backup option. However, that disappointment is temporary. There are women out here, like Akaash's wife, still reminiscing about hot Chad's who blew their back out over a decade ago despite them being married with kids currently. No beta gets stuck in a woman's mind for that long.

Available-Slice8039 · 2025-12-04T15:30:01+00:00

Heartbroken? No. Offended? Absolutely. When you find out your "sure thing" has more options than you thought it calls your relative attractiveness into question.

Your claim made without any arguments can be dismissed without any arguments. Support it.

What you said makes little sense. What girl doesn't know that men want to fuck around? They probably learn it before they even get in their first serious LTR. It's a well known fact. So if her heart is somehow broken by the fact that a certain man wants to fuck around - just as most men want as she already knows - then it's on her. Now, being lied to by a specific man who claims/pretends to be into her for something serious but isn't - now that's understandable and can break her heart.

Jetpine9 · 2025-12-04T04:03:03+00:00

I don't know about all that. Is the leash shorter if she's dating a guy she thinks is mid compared to other guys she's dated? Maybe. But I don't know if she'll be "more heartbroken". More irritated probably.

SwimmingTheme3736 · 2025-12-04T07:38:06+00:00

I have only had my heart broken once and that was by a man I married. It wasn’t by him cheating

DankuTwo · 2025-12-04T08:49:38+00:00

If their “beta” man “wants to fuck around” and actually can then it sounds like she has (as usual) drastically underrated her man’s attractiveness.

This is a common female mistake (classic 80/20).

Luminous_Face_42 · 2025-12-04T00:09:27+00:00

I dont think so because the husband-material guy literally can't fuck around like the hot stud in most cases. Though it does happen if for example the guy gets famous or very rich. e.g. Elon Musk's first wife. etc.
