Notice in tv shows and movies, the guy is always the ditzy clumsy one who needs a strong woman to tell him what to do. And are told what to do and think rather than lead.
Advertising both TV and radio is the same as well. The father/husband is a stubborn fool while mom fixes everything or calls a professional after dad the dummy tried and failed. Imagine portraying the mom in such a way.....goddamn fire and brimstone lol
Please, not always. You are into the wrong kinda movies. Always = so beta !
@@trikkke11please = so beta
@@Imalonerwbu Not knowing please can have different meanings = just plain stupid.

Reverse the "She is never yours. It's only your turn." The mindset should be instead: I AM never hers, it's only her turn. When you start thinking that way you realize the power to change how you deal with hypergamy and female nature/women is in your hands. It's a huge let down and disservice to keep men continuing to believe that "she is never yours. It's only your turn." You are still seeing things and operating from the female first perspective - gynocentrism. In other words, you are still playing by her rules and by her game leveling up yourself in life just so you can get some. Now that's pathetic. It also make you treat her with contempt like as if she is a whore. You should live for yourself only and level yourself up only if you so choose to do it because you firmly believe it's the way to go. Not to please anyone.
I agree. This statement needs to be reversed due to abundance mindset.
Sounds more like a Sigma outlook. But couldn’t agree more with what you say.
She's never yours. It was only your turn " was created by a frustrated chump.
I like this comment.
Excellent comment and perspective.
I lost my libido after starting an anti anxiety medication. I thought this was a negative side effect at first. But after some time, realized I am finally free from my sex drive which has steered me many wrong directions throughout my life.
It's SO much more peaceful without thinking about woman and sex all the time. It allows me to focus on other areas of my life. I've been more productive than I have ever been since I'm free of the hold it had on me. I'm actually alot more calm, comfortable and confident as well. I notice many more woman seem interested in me now too because they probably could sense that I'm just not that interested...and they're right. Lol.
The only issue is I have no desire to date as libido is the main driving force for making men want to meet women. I'll probably have to get off this medication eventually or I'll end up alone in life. But for the time being, it's very...very nice.
Exactly. The real issue is not how people act today. For men the real issue is that they are addicted to women. But medication is not the ultimate answer. Knowledge, understanding and self control are. A truly masculine man can control his urges. Always mind over matter, brothers. Always mind over matter.
That’s not healthy. Get it checked out
I realized late in life that "man labels" like Alpha and Beta aren't really true. I mean, I've found that "Alphas" were typically not the smartest guys in the room, but just the best looking, and because of their looks, they got good jobs, lots of friends and either ended up as alcoholics or they sobered up and ended up fairly successful despite being failures at school. "Betas" were the guys that girls wouldn't approach in high school, but later in life, they finally found someone and got divorced. They had little experience with women and ended up getting used and abused. On the other hand, the most successful men were the ones that followed their passion. Even if that meant becoming an organic farmer and never chased women, they always ended up successful. Truth is, don't pay too much attention to this "Alpha" "Beta" stuff. Just be the best version of yourself and follow your passion.
That's it. "Follow your passion." Only thing what matters.
"Levelling up" for women that bring nothing is also beta behaviour.
Truth
Indeed. The point is finding a woman who brings something and being ready for it.
i know my manager make 6 figs and still a beta simp to his gf/wife. i seen how his gf treats him at costco. i was shocked how a high paying guy get this shit too
😱
Mind set
It's not about money, it's about leading, having frame, and not taking any shit
Money means nothing without frame. Look at Will smith
They get this for one reason - they allow it to happen.
There are no victims, just volunteers.
When I use to watch the show Everybody Loves Raymond the three kids have blonde hairs and now I'm older I wonder if they are really his kids
😂I always wondered that. That show was geared toward Beta Male central. Ray stayed letting his mother disrespect his wife everyday.
It’s a sitcom
Their grandmother is blonde.
This needs to go viral and every man needs to hear it. I think almost every guy has been there and didn’t even realize what was happening. Whining is not the solution when society’s lies don’t get you what you want out of life… find solutions and not excuses gentlemen.
“dad bod” to them is what Michael Phelps looked like during the 2012 olympics.
I really admire how you’re going back to the simple and basic information that really drew me into your channel almost a year and a half ago, Rich. I like how you’re not afraid to cover the basics in a revisited style especially coming into this year. Thank you for everything you do, I’m just about to finish your first book and look forward to the second one soon!
I am definitely the UNplugged Beta. It matches me pretty much spot on. I am at the point where I identify all the problems. I know what is going on, but I just suffer from extremely bad depression, and I do my best to avoid stress. So I don't bother making bold actions to improve my life anymore. I am just tired of trying, tired of the grind, tired of competing. If that is not attractive so be it. I can make myself very physically attractive if I hit the gym for a while, I have done that in the past and that's the one area that differentiates me from the other unplugged betas, and women have been interested in me, just based on how I look, but after they have been with me for a while, they get bored of me and leave. I am nice to them, loving caring etc, but that only goes so far until they get bored & then they move on.
The problem is the government and the world now is next to impossible to be a true alpha people who make over $100000 in canada cant buy a house. Our grandfathers could be regular guys have a family and a job that would afford them a house and a wife and kids but today you have to be a super exceptional person to have all of that. I dont want to play a game that is rigged against me. The government is evil.
Thanks again Rich, your talks always jolt my memory I'm a 64 year old male , when I was young it wasn't so easy to articulate what was going on in relationships, both male and female, you where just put in your place one way or another so as the years went by you gradually got the gist of the game and realized lost opportunities and lucky escapes, braking down the game as you do is so helpful to young men these days as in many cases their fathers "if they have any meaningful contact with them", are still trying to work out their own lives and only offer shit advice.
Most of these betas probably didn’t have a father. When they grew up it was raised by their mother, who divorced the father and kept the house.
I unknowingly acted Alpha dating several women at a time but then I screwed it up by living with one and marrying her despite red flags like her credit card debt & her still being married
idk how yall believe a word any woman says.
My stepdad was a Vietnam vet, Chief Petty Officer in his 21 year naval career. Big dude, too. About 6'4", 275. Tough sonuvabitch who could fix anything from cars to electrical shit. Strong, silent, and capable. And my feminist mother bullied him like he was a skinny kid with asthma, thick glasses, and a club foot.
Way too emphasis is placed on getting a women to define a mans worth! Stop caring about what anyone thinks and life will be much less complicated
You always gotta look to improve further faster higher
For real. These coaches seem more butt hurt than the viewers. Depending on that viewership money.
Nice presentation, certainly some food for thought.
Do the grind men!
My ex wife wrecked me and it changed me to an Alpha
I was with my kids mother for 20 years. Never married her over the fear of losing what I worked for. The last few years we were together were impossible. When our daughter turned 18 I threw her out of my life. Without losing a penny.
@@johnvincent4048👍🇦🇺
If you promote yourself as an alpha, you ain't alpha
@@TheShady380 so what are you?
@@jetsam12 a wannabe 🤮
Here's one I'm guilty of but also have what I deem to be legit reservations, especially for entrepreneurs. When you have a certain level of talent in your field, sometimes deliberately surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you can be dangerous. What Rich is talking about is synergy. But even the most careful vetting can onboard those into your sphere who may pose a threat once they see your true plan.
This is straight out of "48 Laws of Power". The counter argument, which is probably correct, is that you just need to learn to deal with it through sufficient guile.
This info should be format for a uni degree for men like females have feminist studies at uni could be a struggle getting it introduced
I love "The Matrix" (1999) terminology, that movie is a masterpiece! You're either "plugged in" and miserable or "unplugged" and in control!
Anybody else grow up watching that show boy meets world, and realize now he basically is chasing her every episode, and she gives in lol
Boy Meets World............. but he didn't meet the real world. Lucky for him I guess......... 😎
@@ModelJames13TV is fantasy social engineering esp sitcoms decontructing patriarchy
@@Eric-kn4yn But some of them also represent the way the real world should be, like Baywatch. 😎
If you walked onto a construction site filled with ironworkers, concrete guys, and pipeliners, do you think you'd still self-identify, laughably, as an "alpha"?
Lol good point
Want to find the alpha? Find the guy that has the most respect out of that job-site. Not the boss or the owner but out of all the workers they view as the man.
Alpha isn't an identity in the same way that "entrepreneur" isn't a job; it's a bestowment that others give you based on your behaviour.
@@unkelfaka6216 That isn't the "Alpha", though. That's more like the Sigma, the guy who quietly, professionally does his job while the "Alpha" tells everyone how fucking great he is and the "beta" tells him how great he is, looking for reward. "Alpha's", and I hate these terms, need social approval and to feel he's "the boss", while everyone but he knows who is the linchpin of the company. It's never the so-called "alpha". Never. The quiet guy who the "alpha" is afraid to fuck with is the de facto leader of the group, and there may be several on a job site in different trades or in the office. It's usually a lead man or foreman who performs his job better than the "alpha" ever could but doesn't feel compelled to tell everyone how fucking virile he is. He doesn't need to. It's apparent.
@@bb.buchanan It's a dubious distinction, as every "alpha" I've ever met has been a loudmouth with sycophantic male groupies, incapable of doing the work that his more talented employees do, and deeply insecure about it. Self-described "alphas" are betas who run companies or ascend the ladder based on ass-kissing or politics, not because of competency or work ethic. We make fun of anyone who self-describes as an "alpha" because they're the first to fold.
We must undo the deception. I grew up to sigle mother lucky I could see action heros and stuff like that. It’s really just a mindset of knowing your worth.
In my opinion, most guys are betas because they were either raised by one or didn't have an Alfa role model.
How can you emulate something you have never seen? A beta can figure it out, but few will put in the work.
The hardest part is not responding to annoying emotional nat talk. It’s like I don’t want to win the argument but sometimes it’s like cmon really? She thinks she just went off but it’s a bunch of yaps!
Is sitting in front of a camera all day and trying to tell other men what to do Alpha or Beta???😂
You don't really need the money and you don't need the bodybuilder physique, I got started not long after I turn 12 and I'm in my early thirties and I'm telling you women are exponentially easier today than they were 20 years ago. I'm not even 6-ft tall, heck I'm below the national average and I still get women all the time. Yes I'm shaped like a warrior and I have my life together, but I've always had personality and I've spent a lot of time since I was a teenager developing my mental fortitude. If I could get women as a teenager while being as skinny as a railing with bad acne and bad fashion sense, you guys have no excuses. If you lead with your wallet that's all she will want you for, looks definitely open doors but they don't keep you inside, you need personality and you need strong mental frame. You want her to have fun being around you, you want her to admire you and to look up to you, and you want her to respect you. You can't do that if your mind is as weak as a plant sitting in sand waiting for every wave to rip it apart, you have to be a solid rock not easily moved
You get them for some short lived fun not being a submissive serving gf
Looks open doors. I concur. I said the same thing to a woman. But looks are enough if you only want a one night stand. Then again, she may not have looks, and that would be okay too if one night is all you want with her. But for a relationship of any significant length, she MUST have more to offer. The same is true for guys.
Yes, personality is the key. Everything else is secondary.
You basically summarized masculine charisma. Women love that shit.
@@maxn.7234 they swoon cuz they love it. It puts them in a different headspace (one more natural)
Let's not blame women for these gentlemen's lot in life. In the US it is all about money and if you are poor you are garbage. That has nothing to do with women that is just life playing and simple in this country.
mothers raise weak men
Nah, it's mostly the women. 😎
Absolutely right! Here is the real Problem. The Redpill theories are just a distraction to keep the wretched from thinking.
Yeah, like no woman in the US has made a man poor. Derrr!
@@craigsmith2755 women dont make men poor.
This video was fucking great! I didn’t even finished yet but I have to stop to make a comment , I’m at the Jab part 🤣🤣🤣
I usually enjoy Rich’s content but once again he seems to have a very narrow view of what a “man” is or a “successful man” is.
Narrow the utube is 12minutes full of gold standard info for free you buffoon
Narrow there have been numerous types of what man ru and most dont shape up to the better type ur 1 try harder higher faster further
Shut up
Hes running out of ideas. So hes complicating his terminology with graphs and then justifying why.
"Jabba Juice" LMAO!!!
Hi, two years ago my girlfriend broke up with me, we had a house and share two kids. A year after I got a much better paying job, nice car , nice house, doing some workouts and just love doing my own stuff. Though I got involved with a bpd woman with a lot of issues, it obviously didn't work out... Now I think I'm going to be single a Long time. And it's kind of okay.
Wow never realized I was a unplugged beta . Always consider myself a sigma male. I don't maybe I'm still both but at least I can now try to move to become an Alfa male now
The problem is that you have to be plugged into some degree in order to achieve excellence in this society, you have to play the game, you must conform, which is the antithesis to being alpha. The system will destroy the true alpha. The alpha category on all of manosphere sites seems to be only in reference to women, but in all other aspects these so called alphas are betas to the state or to the system.
Dad bod is a bit of misconception, what woman mean by dad bods is like guys in good shape after bulk. Like Chris Chemsworth for example, they have alot of muscles but some fat bc of bulking. They definitely dont mean the avarage balding Joe , with big beer belly and breasts.
I wonder how many guys here fit that top 5% category?
Another great video Rich 💪
“Chubby Chasing Sites” lol….. EXACTLY
Saw another comment here and thought I'd also add that as well as, portraying men as the damsels in distress, saved by their strong woman; the movies/media also have a stong ex wife/gf narrative convincing the man that he needs to do more, be a bigger b*tch/yes man and slay/incapacitate some threat to prove his worth again by saving her life. All after she probably cheated on him, in one show i saw she cheated with his brother then left and it was his job to beta her back and nearly die. Also the Big C is a show you should all watch as men to SEE this narrative from a woman's point of view. Now take away the 'cancer' narrtive thread and you've got reality. Trust me it will visually show you this stuff. Disgusting, but informative if you see it as a documentary of beta.
The worst is when a guy is actually aware of the evils of the world ( govt ) and still go along to get along !.,Then they'll poo-poo those who want to FIGHT this evil...F*cking amazing ! They're already dead ...the living dead .
I been beta since my mother rejected me as a child. This experience requires men to seek validation from women
These people I get in debates with on Facebook groups that are liberal or pro-women in any way, etc., I always ask them: Are you queer??
You need to cut out the alpha and beta chat, its absolute cringe af.
Explain
facts are facts media brain washing you
They're just modern archetypes and an easy way to explain and identify clusters of symptoms/patterns of behaviour; if you find it cringey then that's something within you
I agree. Its so ridiculous.
I can tell you why (I’m a generation Xer)! It’s what our Bible Belt teachers, parents and pastors told us while growing up in the southern area of the United States. Of course the other big biases nowadays is beta males were effective in past before OLD. The beta male isn’t gonna get women in an unfamiliar sexual market today.
Honestly Id prefer more self actualization stuff than how to attract women. I love women they are the reason my pet food stocks go up. I got better stuff to do than deal with women unless they make me money
I was in shape, but a nerdy guy as a teen, and I learned to have the gift of gab and be full of sh&t. That did the trick.
Hard truths. Bam!!
Came here expecting to hear some bullshit and I wasn't dissapointed.
Guys, want to change your life? Go out and do what you know you should be doing. You already know what you all should be doing and if not, then that's the problem. Find out then go out and do it, you ain't finding it here. This is cope
Lady, I was 'disappointed' that you can't spell.
good analysis
You can have only so much alphas... it lies in the nature of the alpha-beta structure.
Great video. Thanks Rich
Most are missing a pursuit of excellence they don’t have a purpose, your right our purpose was family, now what is my purpose? Make money? Chase excellence in what? It comes down to loving money, and work, more than anything, and I don’t, without stating a family, why would I become excellent? I’m what? For what? Here is all I heard, work hard so you can have money to pay your brothel bill. How do we stop being angry and in red pill rage? Again my only answer is to just quit dating and use escorts and brothels. I’m “working and chasing excellence” by earning a salary and continuing to contribute to society. I have friend to hang out with, sounds like a peaceful life to me. No family, no drama, no wife
I dont know whats more destructive... following societal narratives or pandering to women
Yo rich we’re you get that jacket. Sht is clean 👌
I mean, in any given group of males there can only be one alpha. So by default, everyone else isn't.
Yes most guys are betas
But women dont care as much how fit u are compare to men
I see plenty of nice looking women with out of shape guys
Nice looking women with a lot of options generally don't go for physically unnatttactive guys, unless the unnatttactive guy has a lot of money or he is really funny & entertaining. Even if that is the case, she will still feel like she settled for a guy beneath her standards & probably treats him like crap or cheats on him.
Unless she is a intravert and has a personality disorder. You are her only friend.
Just 40k?
Men….Here’s the deal! 💯 1. Develops a skill- set to earn six-figure or higher income 2. Become Visible and verifiable 3. Seek out mentors and find a network of like-minded high-value men 4. Physical optimization and self defense skills!
Because most have been raised by the single mom movement. Until that changes, not much is likely to change, but there’s always hope young men are being exposed to more online insight and the smart advice.
No context;
Eminem beard dye cold🔥🔥🔥
There are allot of beta boys, but allot less Alpha's and especially Sigma males in Greater Toronto Area. Why is that? Please explain.
Because Alphas get praise from other men, but Betas (as you name them) get the women. The Redpill-Theory is simply wrong, ask any female...
Didn't watch but just going off the thumbnail the family court system and no fathers in the household.
You talk about being rich and having millions a lot, most guys don’t have millions or make $100,000…I have seen in my 52 years thousands of women who date and married guys who are just great looking but provide nothing else, being hot is the only thing that counts, in shape, tall and great looking…The 5’6” ugly trolls need to have millions to get a woman. I’ve had long term relationships with great looking women and married to a hottie for 10 years and I have never made over $100,000. Why should a man have to be a millionaire to have a girlfriend? Every guy who’s not a millionaire in a Lambo should just give up? In the USA the average man and woman make under $100,000. I’ve never bought women gifts and they loved me with all their hearts, never buy a persons love. I understand you are motivating men to be successful which is great but what percentage of guys are going to make millions per year?
Took me a long time ,but have learned beautiful women are always worth it . Ninety five percent the first category ,and proud of it . . The rest are the ones I just shake my head in disgust, but it’s their lives .
beautiful women are always worth it ? Youre capping mate.
Another slave to the pedestal.
Simp 😂😂
Because otherwise they end up being alone forever
these guys (which are 80%) blablabla i guess i'm not the target of this channel
Rich, what's your take on trt
Don't get why the unplugged betas are the Bottom 10%. Would have thought they'd be under plugged in Alphas.
They don’t have money.
NICE =NO EYES
What I've realized about content like this... just like feminism, why are we catering to women? It's like we're taking into consideration what women want generally and using that as a means of persuasion to get or keep women. Instead of setting the standard of what a man is supposed to be and men coming together to form fellowship... a brotherhood of men who aren't afraid, or who don't have high levels of financial/material attachments etc. I get this sounds crazy lol
Fight Club
Its all bs. There is no alpha or beta anymore. Camt exist when women are the alphas. All men are betas
@alex-lu8mi yea lol... the suggestion from these "alpha channels" is to understand what women want and then use their desires to control and manipulate them... isn't this the same as what women do? Using their bodies to control and manipulate men? How does 2 wrongs make a right? Or using female tactics to feel dominant? Insane! 😅
what if you powerlift
Here in Sydney Australia, a man who had a Porsche Cayenne SUV and Mustang nearly had both Cars stolen from his house, he tried to stop the robbers, the father got hit, he should be Okay, the disappointing part was his son who said " Dad was silly and Stupid for protecting his cars", the son was criticizing his own Dad
Why he pink?
Ain't nun wrong with being a beta male it's normal.
betas slave
The same way as being a 304 is normal.
Rich, back off the mic a little. That bass is peaking
Im a damn omega... i wish i was beta...😂😂😂 the alpha beta crap is super antiquated bs
So the basic choice is between "pathetic beta loser" and "me-first alpha." Plugged versus unplugged, it sounds like you end up a jerk either way. What a great culture we have.
You can be alpha and righteous. The difference is that alpha’s no how to stand when the “storms” arrive. Betas falter in weakness.
@@ronandheather3079 It's spelled "know," and that isn't "the" difference; there's a whole alpha checklist that requires you to be a hyper-competitive me-first type, i.e. annoying to most. The stupid binary thinking needs to be scrapped.

There is alpha who grind and chease succes or beta who just sit in hes moms basement bro! Forget about sigma bullshit! Do or do nothing!
@@Sayed-du9pxSigmas are better than Alphas just so you know.
Sigmas are unplugged by definition. Alphas are not.

So you are a deadbeat? Shame on you dude.
Does he have a girl friend?
Poor breeding habbits. As population increases poor genetics spread exponentialy. 500 years ago you had to be a bad ass just to survive. Even if you were a beta in the middle ages you were still a good breeding option.

plenty of great guys look like him. Looks vary so much. Youre statement is a gross oversimplification of men within a huge population.
