This is standard PUA psyops to soothe their conscience. It's all BS as Alpha/Beta is an unrealistic paradigm.

That doesn't sound quite right to me...

So much bullshit in one image

This seems silly and random. Alpha sounds like a magical Disney character.

If there is a man who acts as described in at least one point from the left column in one situation but then in other circumstances, he acts as described in any point from the right column, that means that Alpha/Beta model is flawed and can't be applied to real life.
Those who use this model restrict themselves and their understanding of reality with flawed labels and models with no prediction power. Probably due to the need for self-validation that Alpha term provides due to its position in the popular culture.
Only sith deal in absolutes. (c )

Alpha is all the cool good traits I like and beta is all the icky dumb traits I dislike... I'm embarrassed I ever gave credence to these charts. They are so inconsistent and subjective.

Funny, but these terms have been perverted by popular culture, mostly by those who wanted to be successful with women.
Ethology is where these terms came from.
Originally in the etiology model of dominance alpha has qualities that a decent human being wouldn't call cool. And originally alpha had a different set of qualities, than described in the chart.
Lets take wiki definition of alpha as an example:
Alphas may achieve their status by superior physical strength and aggression, or through social efforts and building alliances within the group.
Aggression.
Here is an example of some dude who demonstrates aggression and applies Alpha term.

He considers himself an alpha and actually he fits original definition of the term better than the version of the term used in the picture or by those at r/theredpill
Now the question is why the term has been transformed from its original ethological meaning and now means "every cool perk I want to have"?

Mind control propaganda.

It sounded right until about halfway through. Then it went in the wrong direction. This should help you out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-J6DV6NbSA

A lot of the Beta traits seem to belong to the Alpha side and vise versa :/
