TRP outlines 'betabux' strategies as a strategies that involve providing care and support for women in non-sexual ways. Typically included in the definition is that the individual providing these resources to the woman is who she chooses when she decides to settle down.

I've stated several times that money/wealth, at high enough levels, is second to none for men in securing sexual access to and so-called submission from the opposite sex.

This study obliquely touches on many dynamics I've previously referred to. For example, self-suppression, even in cases where individuals may be far more competent than they are presenting. Anther example is the perpetual social circle that automatically comes with such wealth, that is constantly reinforcing the man at the center's high social status. It's only a qualitative study, though. Grain of salt.

However, the presence of monetary responsibility and support, just like the presence of emotional support, and many other "beta" behaviors, grants a man in any relationship more leverage.

Men who want women to submit to them, in any way, while at the same time doubling down on "acting alpha" all the time, or most of the time, should take a look at the wide world. A cis male employee will obey commands from his boss. The cis male does not want to fuck his boss. Yet the boss extracts reliable, steady submission from the male because the boss has other leverage.

"Acting alpha" or an "alpha male" tends to refer to a suite of traits, physical and behavioral, that women find sexually attractive. That's the best way I can put it, because the concept is vague and seems driven primarily by the result of these actions/traits.

The issue is that, in the short-term, only physical traits appear to meaningfully influence female sexual desire. In the long-term, the traits touted by TRP have a variable effect on female attraction and essentially depend on results, i.e. dominant behavior is attractive to the extent that a man is a general winner of those dominance contests.* Contrast that with the "Beta traits," like kindness and altruism, which in the long-term make a man more physically attractive to women.

While I generally conduct my dating life with timescales to sex that are consistent with TRP, my reasons are far removed from TRP's. I've personally observed the latter phenomenon several times, personal qualities causing someone to become more sexually attracted to me over time. I have a high sense of justice and generally abhor displays of social dominance and aggression without cause: I'd say greater than 90% of such displays are without any real cause beyond social value taking. It's a form of altruism and also, due to the many types of force required to thwart these displays, incidental prestige. It's rare that I've ever acted on or indulged in those "opportunities," for my own reasons, but they're there.

So it's not a far leap to say that other traits associated with being "beta" could cause a similar incremental increase in attraction over time.

"Acting alpha" only gets you results and reactions based on your physicality or zero-acquaintance sexual attractiveness. Only one lever to exert authority. It only really works in the short-term or in more casual "relationships," due to the limited amount of interaction you have with your partner. Over the long-term, where you are almost constantly interacting with your partner, it will rapidly lead to negative results for you.

Embracing yourself as a complete person and being yourself and then working on your strengths in the direction of your personal qualities, is what will lead to you being able to secure the best relationships with others.

To sum it up:

TRP discourages men from developing themselves as people and instead encourages them to develop themselves solely based around one metric that, at best is limited even for the men who have a strong foundation in this domain, and at worst is completely ineffective and counter-productive for men without any real foundation in this domain.
