Yet another real life example of Alpha Fux – Beta Bux where a woman with an inflated perception of her own SMV laments the fact that she can’t get high SMV alphas to commit after banging her, settles for a boring beta and writes an article that retroactively cuckolds her current man in the national media.
Highlights:
The writer admits that her beta doesn’t measure up to the alphas from her past …
“I recently came across a photo of a sexy Brazilian man I had an affair with a few years ago. (OK, I Googled him.) When I saw his sly smile and unruly black hair, I couldn't help thinking that, by comparison, my live-in boyfriend wasn't quite as darkly seductive or exciting.”
The writer implies that her beta doesn’t give her tingles and her friends can’t understand why not …
“Everything about Peter was steady. He used to own a recording studio and now had a less-exciting gig as a construction manager. He had a cheerful disposition and didn't swear at drivers. He'd raised a considerate daughter who shared his quirky sense of humor. My friends told me I'd totally scored, finding a smart, handsome, 6'4" man who adored me.”
The writer’s hamster steers her away from the real reason why she feels this way …
“The problem wasn't that Peter was boring. It was that I was scared to be in a real relationship. Who cared if he didn't speak three languages? Peter made me deeply happy, not constantly anxious that I wasn't good enough. His solidity was exactly why, I realized, I loved him so much.”
