What exactly are the main differences between an alpha and a beta male?

Alpha and beta are primarily adjectives for behaviors, not people. A behavior can be alpha or beta, but a person will generally undertake both kinds of behaviors to different extents. Sometimes, you might call a man who primarily performs beta behaviors "beta," but that's just shorthand for "person who primarily performs beta behaviors."

Getting a little meta about this, alpha and beta, themselves, are also shorthand for "behaviors that generate attraction in [most] women" and "behaviors that generate comfort in [most] women." The Red Pill tends to shit on beta things and laud alpha things because in 2015, most men shy away from alpha behaviors. And a man who builds comfort with a woman before building attraction or builds comfort in the absence of attraction is doing it wrong if that's a woman he wants to date or fuck. So for the huge majority of men, "Do more alpha stuff" is effective advice.

You don't see the alpha/beta shorthand as much around TRP nowadays, compared to when it was newer. It's just as easy to describe why a particular behavior did or didn't cause a woman to become sexually attracted to you or why a woman was or wasn't comfortable with your emotional investment without using the shorthand lingo. But sometimes, it's a time saver to just call something alpha or beta to avoid typing all that out.

This is why I made that thread that people should read the 'About' T+A section more often.

I'm actually with you on this one. Differences between alpha and beta can already be described by words RP already has. Uses of alpha and beta range from arbitrary to unnecessary.

Alpha: Lifts

Beta: Doesn't lift

Come back and discuss after you watch the videos.

One has learned how to mold others into his frame and the other is melding into someone else's frame?
