Man, that's rich. I agree, but come on, it's too funny to throw the "beta" tag around----as if adherents of "Roosh" and PUA crap aren't the epitome of betas.
If you're an alpha male, you don't need that shit. You have it.
Though, you may want to pay at times---way easier.
Anyway...
I had overlooked this, so just reading it now.
I disagree with the concept of "just having it". And maybe this is where the disconnect is coming from. I welcome debate about this.
1) It can be a guy is unusually good looking, very popular/famous, or clearly has a lot of money.
However, all those would be circumstances beyond the average guy.
It's ludicrous to expect the average guy to possess any of those traits in order to easily pickup on women who don't have any such traits either. And anyway, it seems like some advocate that such a high level guy date down and under his level.
And if she is exceptionally pretty, famous, or rich than the guy using such leverage can have no advantage.
2) There seems to be a style of thinking, where men should use the feminine tactic of waiting for someone to talk with them.
It's like in the minds of some, men being assertive or proactive in any way is wrong. I think this comes from twisted feminist ideology, and it's purpose is not helpful to men.
Waiting for women to talk to you and holding up walls with your back is NOT an Alpha male trait. It's strange how there is confusion on this. Alpha males will very much take the initiative or be proactive, as this is part of having leadership and dominant qualities. Beta males would very much be in fear and make excuses for inaction. Of course, I don't think is it so black and white, and there is a lot of room for being a mix of both.
3) There is a belief that any system or method of picking up women is wrong or cheating.
This is often hypocritical feminine thinking. Many women wear makeup, push up bras, do plastic surgery, and have all kinds of popular rules for dealing with men from magazines and books. Why can't men have their methods too? Why would men having methods be wrong, but all the slick things that women do be right?
4) Since when does a person know everything since birth?
Talking to women is a learning process. What works and what doesn't work is also a learning process that will lead to methods and styles.
Would it not be intelligent for a man to analyze how his dates with women went and figure out a system or method that works best for him? Now think about this over many years (10, 15, 20 years) of dating women. If anything, to not come up with some type of system or favorite methods would be very odd, because it likely means the guy has learned nothing or given up.
5) Paying is not always necessarily easier or more convenient.
If you have a group of regular and normal women that can see you for sex, then that can be more convenient. Once setup up, you can schedule meeting many women at your place or hers.
Pickup can be more time consuming at the beginning or have way more emotional baggage, but once a guy has established a woman as a "regular" or sexual relationship, it can be vastly less expensive and much more emotionally satisfying than P4P. On the flip, P4P can be more time efficient and less drama. A key difference is pickup and creating multiple relationships often takes skill that many guys haven't learned or don't take time to develop.
And there is a good argument that paying also isn't alpha male, unless he is rich and the money very trivial. Very much depends on the guy, situation, his budget, views on cost effectiveness, mood, etc... Related to this is the quality of sex and type of sex that a guy seeks or finds satisfying.
Keep in mind that many P4P provider women are themselves doing both non-P4P and P4P, as they can have boyfriends, husbands, are bi-sexual so have girlfriends, etc... It's not all one way or the other.
