Does every relationship, romantic or not, have to fall into the alpha/beta mould?

A lot of it is contextual. Human males form hierarchies. See any group, there's stratification. Teams, organizations, businesses, armies, agencies. There's some form of rank. Captain, Manager, CEO, President, Vice President, Executive, General, Commander,etc. A leader or leaders of various positions that command those below them.

Women desire strong, capapable, successful men. Men who can make decisions, men who are firm in this process. So when it comes to romantic relationships, it's best for the man to take the lead.

Yes, they do. Whether you notice it or not, groups will always test each other out for dominance. Every friendship, relationship, group dynamic has its pecking order.

If you don't realize it or see it, you're probably not the man at the top.

The leader/follower, dominant/subordinate exists in all relationships (except perhaps in the mother/children relationship). Even brothers try to dominate each other. In every interaction, the same dynamic exists, even if subconscious. It's part of communication, the only way not to have it is to avoid all communiation.

And there's nothing wrong about it. What's wrong is to ascribe higher value to the dominant without doubt.

I think that the alpha/beta dichotomy doesn't really apply to female sexuality neatly. You will find endless discussions about definitions here because it is so messy. Don't worry too much about it and try to be happy. I advocate MGTOW and let the women chase you.

What's not to like about trp, essentially it's = absorb what's useful, discard what's not. The problem is that many of young lads today will make same mistake xy times because of the brainwash, brainwash everywhere.

As for relationships, Male leads. It's what we are made for. We are machines programmed during thousands of years - to make shit happen or die trying. From my experience, when I started practicing trp with women in my life, I've noticed increased respect and desire to please. Even the women who act alpha (try to bring down the masculine men in their group) all grew to respect me, because I set boundaries. Now that kind of women goes all mushy mushy in my vicinity (more feminine voice, gentleness etc.). Even if there's a women who wouldn't accept my belief about myself, why would I want her around?

Someone has to lead, long dead is the idea of totally equal relationship in which everyone is the same and has same role. - now that is the true homosexuality. And we know for a fact that even in gay relationships, one of the partners has to be dominant.

People are by nature complex and employ a spectrum of strategies when interacting and competing with others. The existence of other categories, most notably the Sigma or "lone wolf," has been proposed by some and I am inclined to agree. If I were asked to honestly assign myself a designation on the spectrum, Sigma comes closest to the way I conduct myself.

People use this classification because they don't understand the complex transactional communication that human social networks use.

It's not too far off from the truth, it's actionable but incomplete.

All relationships function off of ego investments after poverty is prevented. These are typically things that are grouped together from base behavior, but not always.

There are always wolves pretending to be sheep and the like. Typically as long as people are getting paid the way they want to get paid over how difficult it is to replace that payment you will have stable predictable communication with someone.

Most people are not on this level yet, sometimes people will also misplay their own aims and that's where anecdotal evidence comes from haha
