Background:

A good looking mid 40s single mom actually doesn't want a Beta - she still wants an Alpha.

Body:

So I'm mid-40s. Top 10% for men in my age physically and probably top 20% financially. No kids, I have acceptable game, and been red pill aware for years.

So I'm texting a single mom (yeah yeah, I know the drill - "no single moms." Whatever, they make fine plates and this one's easily a 7 - she was probably a 9 in her 20s) and she tells me that a friend tried to set her up with a 'nice guy' last evening.

Despite being the same age as me, and having a kid, and she could probably snag a Betabux right about now, she STILL wants the Alpha (me). This woman could fucking win big at life, have her kid with an Alpha and then a cuddly Beta to care for her and Chad's little replicant, but she's still chasing Alpha cock.

I actually felt bad for her, I tried to argue at least a little in this guy's favour - she wasn't having it.

Anyways, I'm sure that her ex's child support helps her not need a Beta - she's got him paying her bills so she can still chase Alpha dick. In essence, she's got the BB part of the AF/BB strategy already covered.

Lessons Learned:

Even when post-wall single moms are presented with a perfect opportunity for a "nice guy" to support them, they'll still go for Alphas.

Divorce and child support actually sustain a woman's BB provision strategy, further harming beta males' chances even for older women.
