Here’s how betas, Alpha 1.0s, and Alpha 2.0s react to the same circumstances.

Scenario 1: Man meets a woman for an online first date. The woman is surprisingly good-looking, better than she looks in her photos.

Beta Male: Immediately gets nervous. Doesn’t know what to do around a woman this hot. He starts losing his cool, saying stupid shit, and acting needy with her.

Alpha Male 1.0: Gets a huge smile on his face and compliments her appearance, then subtly or not-so-subtly hints that he’s dated women as hot as her many times before. Starts raising his voice a little as he talks and begins to talk about himself a lot, bragging about how much money he makes, and various other things.

Alpha Male 2.0: Acts 100% calm and treats her just like any other woman.

Scenario 2: Man and woman have been dating for a few months, and while sitting on the couch together she tells him she’s breaking up with him.

Beta Male: Instantly full of terror. Immediately starts to beg her to give him another chance, that he’ll promise he’ll do more/better, that he’ll do whatever she wants. Please, please don’t leave! He may even start crying or throw a little tantrum if she refuses further.

Alpha Male 1.0: Frowns, starts shaking his head like he’s talking to a child, and says something like, “No, no, we’re not breaking up. Stop being ridiculous.” She reacts with shock and yells at him. He yells back. Huge argument ensues.

Alpha Male 2.0: With a neutral expression and tone of voice, he asks her if she’s sure that’s what she wants. If she says yes, he says something like, “Okay. Well, you’re really great person and I wish you nothing but happiness.” Then ushers her out the door as quickly and politely as possible, texts one of his other women, and has sex with her a few hours later.

Scenario 3: Man is waiting at the mall to meet the woman he’s been dating for a few weeks. She’s eight minutes late and texts him that she’ll be there in about 15 more minutes.

Beta Male: Frustration. He texts her to hurry up and then paces around, constantly checking his phone, stressing out a little until she arrives. He sighs with a huge relief when she finally shows up.

Alpha Male 1.0: Instant rage. How DARE she disrespects me like this! Doesn’t she know I’m a busy man?!? We set this appointment a fucking week ago! Angrily sends her at least three very long texts explaining that this is unacceptable and that she needs to respect his fucking time and various other demands. Huge argument ensues, either over texts or in person when she arrives.

Alpha Male 2.0: Sends a text saying “Okay!” and shops on his own or sits down at a Starbucks and gets some reading or work done on his phone.

Scenario 4: Man and woman have been dating for about five weeks. Woman sees some kind of strong evidence that the man is still seeing or sleeping with another woman, so she starts yelling at him.

Beta Male: Immediately gets super defensive and starts repeating over and over again all the things he didn’t do, didn’t do with her, and/or would never do with her (whether true or not).

Alpha Male 1.0: Lies to her and says she’s imagining things. Tries to get off the subject, but if she persists, has a huge argument with her.

Alpha Male 2.0: Looks at her with a neutral expression and says something like, “Um hm.” If she demands more information, he blows it off with a sarcastic comment and changes the subject, or he gently tells her that “it’s too soon for this conversation because it’s only been five weeks.” If she persists after this, he instantly soft nexts her.

Scenario 5: Man and woman have been married for two years. Woman is angry at man for whatever reason, so she dresses nice and starts to walk out the door. When man asks where she’s going, she dismissively says, “Out,” and keeps walking towards the door.

Beta Male: He follows her to the door and asks what she means. She still refuses to answer and walks out to the garage. He follows her to the garage, still asking her what she means and/or what he did wrong. She gets in her car and drives away. He stares after her on the sidewalk helplessly as she drives away into the night.

Alpha Male 1.0: Instant rage. He runs at her, gets in her face, and screams at her, “What did you just say to me?!? What the FUCK do you think you’re doing?!? You can’t just go out somewhere dressed like that!” Huge argument ensues.

Alpha Male 2.0: Without even looking at her, he says, “Okay, have fun,” and goes back to what he was doing.

Scenario 6: Man and woman have been dating for a few months. Woman had a horrible day at work, had a huge argument with her mom, and is on her period, so when they hang out that night she’s already borderline hysterical and starts screaming at the man for some tiny infraction.

Beta Male: Huge, long argument. (“Jesus, what did I do???”)

Alpha Male 1.0: Even bigger argument, possibly even physical violence.

Alpha Male 2.0: Instant soft next, she leaves, he texts one of his other girls, and has sex a few hours later or the next day.

Scenario 7: Man and woman have been dating for about five weeks. Man is checking out her Instagram and sees some pics she just uploaded yesterday of her on the beach in a bikini hanging out with some other girls and a few shirtless guys.

Beta Male: Gets super jealous and can’t contain it. Asks her (via texts immediately or in person when he sees her next) something like, “So… I saw you were at the beach on Tuesday…” and grills her on all the details.

Alpha Male 1.0: Ohhhhh shit. Instant, volcanic rage. Transforms into Jonah Hill and sends multiple, huge, long texts or DMs about how she is NEVER supposed to do anything like that, how she’s acting like a whore, how she’s disrespecting him, how insulting that is to him, how furious he is with her, and perhaps even how he’s going to find those other guys and beat the shit out of them. Huge argument ensues, possibly even a breakup.

Alpha Male 2.0: Nothing happens because he would never be looking at her Instagram.

Scenario 8: Man and woman have been living together for about a year. One night, he tries to have sex and she says no, she doesn’t want to have sex tonight. He tries again. This time she says no much more strongly.

Beta Male: Starts complaining about how that’s not fair, just c’mon, it will take 10 minutes, blah blah blah. When that doesn’t work he starts to beg her. When that doesn’t work he tries to bribe her (“I’ll take the kids to school tomorrow morning for you..” “I’ll give you $100…” “I’ll go get your car cleaned this weekend…”)

Alpha Male 1.0: Points at her and tells her this is unacceptable behavior from her and how she needs stop acting like a brat or a bitch. Huge argument ensues.

Alpha Male 2.0: Smiles, says “Okay!”, leaves the room, texts one of his FBs and sets up an appointment for tomorrow (it’s an OLTR Marriage so this is allowed).
