I can safely say (having been on both sides of the fence) that attention from alphas is better than attention from betas.

I think of attention as a form of currency - something to be distributed for gain or when merited. Betas devalue their own currency by constantly printing more whenever the demand arises. Alpha currency, on the other hand, is finite and often unavailable.

When a female demands attention from the beta, the beta produces it in the quantity demanded without expecting anything in return for it. The alpha however, requres something in exchange for the currency, thus giving the currency value. This is why a woman will pursue validation from an alpha because their attention has value and isnt mass produced.

When a woman seeks attention and goes to a beta she may gain temporary satisfaction, but the value of the attention is low because she didnt have to earn it. This is why some women will have a harem of betas - she needs a constant stream of attention from multiple sources. When a woman finds an alpha, she begins trying to earn the attention because she is aware that it has value and when the attention is given, it is much more satisfying than when a beta provides the same amount of attention.

A "not bad" and a thumbs-up from an alpha has far greater value than all the flowers and gifts from a beta could ever have. This is why when a woman finds an alpha, she stops seeking validation from her beta orbiters.

But hey, i could be wrong here.
