Ever since I started seriously lifting and getting big, my alpha friends respect me more, and my beta ‘friends’ do anything they can to compensate, put me down, etc.

Crabs in a bucket.

it's not just lifting.

have you made bank at some point in your life (even if you don't flaunt it?) and these 'friends' learned of it?

or landed a "she's out of your league" girl and brought her around?**

or gotten a project/promotion/win professionally and these 'friends' learned of it?

In my near 50 yrs of experience: true friends (whether Alpha or Beta) are happy for you - or acquaintances who aren't threatened by you, are indifferent and possibly complementary, as you noted/observed .

** the bring the hottie around does something funny. The Beta acquaintances will actually flirt with her, in some weird form of "jeeze if i-am-the-prize got her here, she must want to talk to me too!" Guys who won't flirt with a random girl when we were out and about, feel oddly brave in this situation. Seen it more than once. from HS to college to professional happy hours and business trips when i would have a FB meet me in a city I was visiting/traveling, I would stay a few extra days after the event, and my FB would hang and bang for a few days of fun. Often, on the last night of the event/meeting/conference/training/etc, my coworkers and traveling social group would overlap with my "hot off the plane" FB. These loser office Beta boys would come crashing/panting/flirting with my dial-a-FB, yet the previous 2-5 days of this event they were dicks in hand staring at the floor when women were around. Pathetic.

They resent you because you remind them they're stagnating.

Crabs in bucket and unconsciously they know you gone up in the pecking order.

These types of people are shit my man. They will belittle you, make fun of your progress, fuck you over with potential women ("he's a gym rat asshole while im just a sweet guy!!!11!) which can work out better for you, and overall be a massive nuisance.

Smash that noise out and go ghost. You don't need people like that.

This was one of the biggest mind f*cks that I have experienced since I've become red pill aware and started improving myself. The more successful you become, the more hate you'll get from other people. This is especially true with women after a relationship ends. The biggest mistake you can make is perceiving these insults, putdowns etc. through a blue pill lens. People only hate on and go after, for the most part, people who they think can take it. No condoning their actions but you've got to not only turn yourself into a high SMV man but also develop the mindset, too. Some of my biggest setbacks have come from entertaining the hate I got from other people because I thought I wasn't good enough. Totally wrong. The better you become, the more hate you'll deal with. That expression, it's lonely at the top rings true. Improving yourself externally (looks, money, status) is half the battle. The other half is the mental frame/mindset you must develop to live that lifestyle and deal with people, both professionally and personally.

That's why your alpha friends are showing you love. They recognize the real from the fake and can see you're on the right path. That's a big sign and a testament to your self improvement when other alphas start vibing with you.

As you grow in life you’ll need to cut people out of your life. This is a good thing. It means you’re making progress

You’ll notice some betas are only nice because they are powerless in society. True alphas love the competition

Yeah, when I started really pulling in revenue from my business, I had to drop a bunch of acquaintances because they literally couldn't handle it. They hated their careers, had no growth potential, and didn't want to hear about how well I was doing.

Real friends celebrate with your accomplishments and help you pull yourself out of your valleys.

My beta friends that i've known from childhood have a habit of bringing up some of my more embarrassing moments in life and anything they can to remind me of points in my life where I was weak. I only realised how toxic their behaviour was when I went away for a few years to study and when I seen the outside world and how people should actually behave and from reading TRP it dawned on me how they really aren't my friends anymore but just acquaintances now. The only 2 friends I have from childhood who are not Beta never actually put me down or remind me of that stuff.

The more i'm away from these people in general the happier I am it will probably be the same for you

Nice. What’s your height, weight and body fat percentage? What was your starting weight, height and body fat?

SouthernGothick · 2019-07-10T12:44:13+00:00

Anyone else experienced this?

Same shit different day. Crab mentality etc.

Aphas and betas aren't even a thing.
