I wouldn't call "riding a carousel" a mating strategy. Because that would imply those girls actually are expecting to get pregnant while doing it. The actual strategy would be to find a beta male, get pregnant from alpha and get beta to help rise the child, either by convincing him it's his child or through other means.

TRP typically uses a binary language of AFBB. While there are more categories that describe society more accurately TRP keeps it simple.

The way I understand 'beta' is a set of characteristics which are displayed by a man who follows rather than someone who takes risks and leads a life they want to lead.

A man who makes lots of money as a result of starting his own business and a man who makes a lot less as a result of following his dream to be a chef are both alpha in this regard.

The AFBB mating strategy refers more to having an 'alpha' man for sex and a 'beta' man (who she can control) for provisions. The ideal for every woman is to have an Alpha male who also provides. However, since historically the alpha males are less likely to commit, and by association the men who don't show commitment tend to become more attractive, being an alpha male and a provider is difficult to maintain. Married man sex life and other blogs related to red pill theory in a long term relationships directly address maintaining the 'alpha male while providing' role.

Red pill theory is not about trying to get women to follow any BFBB sexual strategy or appreciating those who do, it is more about being the alpha and then what you do with it is your decision. You can just be the AF in the pluralistic sexual strategy or you can aspire to be the alpha provider head-of-the-family role.

Beta is inferior to alpha. That's the point. You come off like a beta sympathizer with that line because here we champion reality and self respect, which makes one inferior to the other.
