By SMV increasing, I am talking about physically and socially. I just finished a big bulk and have been cutting weight for the past few months. Ive lost 20-30 lbs and finally got a 6-pack, chiseled jawline, from dieting/working out consistently. I have also been going out more often, building social circles, etc to work on my communication skills (which were good but want them elite).

I used to think that "betas" would be more submissive as my SMV increased, but it seems that im running into a lot more 'snappy' betas. This happens during random moments throughout the day: school, work, dealing with customers, out and about, etc. For example I went to go pump gas after a workout (I had a mean pump) and this dude in line got really ruffled just by my presence. He had aggressive body language and shot some looks towards me for no reason. I just smirked it off and ignored him, seemed to piss him off even more. I also noticed that when dealing with customers at work that lots of lower SMV men (and women) have become more rude to me, but the alpha male and cuter girls are more receptive.

It seems that ever since my SMV has increased, they act really passive agressive with me, overall just really negative. "Alpha" males seem to respect me more as an equal on the other hand.. I thought it would be the opposite.

Is this normal and does this mean im on the right track?
