Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Ferdinand provides a surefire indicator of BETA status:
Whenever a halfway attractive woman does something, anything on the Internet, there’s always a coterie of sackless chumps ready to praise her just for being alive, in the vain hope that she’ll sleep with them. Even if the “woman” is 16 and lives in another country.
This is arguably the easiest means of identifying BETA status. How often do you offer unmerited praise for women that you would never provide a man? Unwarranted praise is supplication. If a woman is attention-whoring on Facebook or elsewhere, feeding the endless abyss is absolutely counterproductive if you are attracted to her.

It's hard for men to realize, since it is exactly opposite to the way that men think, but women tend to react much more strongly to negativity than to positivity. This is because they are other-driven rather than self-driven. I've seen this time and time again, in the office, in sports, and in the sexual marketplace. A woman will ignore 20 men praising her and focus like a laser on the one who shrugs her shoulders at her, whereas a man won't bother with the 20 women ignoring his existence, but will focus his attention on the woman who views him in a positive light.

Men and women make unnecessary inter-sexual mistakes because they wrongly assume that the sexes think alike. As a general rule, they don't. If you're a single guy, experiment with this principle. Try placing five "ooh, you so pretty" comments on the Facebook photos of five women you know, then five "Yikes! I didn't know you were part Bulgarian!" on five others. My estimate is that you won't even get a response from the first five women, but will get at least four responses from the second five.

Conversely, women should similarly experiment with building a man up rather than "putting him in his place". Do report back with results, if you give it a whirl. We're all about the science here.

This is because women desire to be loved while men desired to be respected.

This kind of thing stood out to me when I was surf my facebook account every so often. Whenever any of the more attractive girls I had friended updated their status or uploaded a new picture there would be two or three beta schmoes practically worshiping her and I can't recall the girls ever responding.

I'll try the experiment myself sometime on something other than facebook (where friends and family will see my remarks and I don't feel like rocking the boat with them).

Sensei said...

Aye, the Facebook thing is a good example in miniature of this phenomenon.

Though I suppose kids in highschool have some excuse for Beta type behavior if they haven't been raised differently.
It's more pathetic when the participants are old enough to know better..

'It's more pathetic when the participants are old enough to know better."

Because the opposite is being taught to our children pretty much from birth, we should all just be smart enough to "know"?
I disagree. The way things are going in this country, it is highly doubtful that anything less then 15% will ever just "know". I think this is something that needs to be actively taught since most children are raised to believe the Disney fairytales, never mind the drama soaked estrogen induced drivel that passes for children's programming these days on TV.

Already done this experiment (to some degree). One little cutie who requested me add her as a friend for some reason (she's about 19 now, 16 then and lives in Asia). She uploaded some cutesy piesy crap and thought I'd have fun with it since I don't care what she thinks anyway.

Posted a nice neg that could be interpreted either way but appears negative at first glance. Some of her hotter friends sent me friend requests within 12 hours. Pretty funny since I've never met any of them that I know of...

Not the first time this has happened on FB. Pretty funny how a neg in the middle of 25 beta sucking compliments will have the woman ignore the rest and immediately respond to my neg. In a positive way.

Women are delightful, once you've figured some things out.

Pillow talk with the FWB last night got into a bit about past relationships and why she hooked up with me again after a few dates over a decade ago.

Her : "You have opinions"

Immediate thought - Game scores again!

We have two 7s in our class (nothing below or above that) and they're mocked for their stupidity all the time by nearly everyone. So this doesn't quite match my observations. However, I live in Europe.

Apparently women can be quite funny though I don't think this one meant to be:

Vox, I've been using this for a while. Here is an example from earlier today.
Guy1:You have a very pretty smile :] im sure i have said this before.
Her: :) Thank youuu!
Guy2: Hi. You're really pretty :) <3
Her: :) lol. Thanks, B
Me: You've got some big teef...
Her: lol. I know. Thanks for pointing out the obvious! :)

Guy1: "i dont mind about your teeth. i think you are fine and unique. (wow… sounded like a loser pickup line… sorry if it did,lol)"

Guy2: "Her teeth are gorgeous though."

Peregrine John said...

Hey JCclimber, just as a jumping-off point, a spark for what might work well for me, what was that plausibly-deniable neg you dropped on her?

mmaier2112 said...

Daniel: I don't think even this phenomena accounts for her career.

The only joke of hers that is remotely funny is the Jewish DR. rape one.

This is so true.

When I ended my relationship with my ex, (I first unilaterally downgraded to "it's complicated" then removed my status altogether when I broke it off) nobody batted and eyelash at me. However, when she switched to "single," she got all sorts of outpouring of sympathy.

Why don't I list myself as single? I hate those ads on the sidebar.

Ah man, it just keeps getting better.

Guy1: "will you marry me?"
Her: "lol. imma forever by single. :P"
Guy3: "Her big teeth are the things that make her beautiful, unique, and you know, HER!
:)" (pppfffff. That was f#cking gay. Curiously, she didn't comment on this one.)

@Peregrine John
well, didn't put more than 10 seconds thought into it, 20 seconds to type on my smart phone, so don't remember clearly now.

She did one of those asian girl type cutey pics that make them look like they're 12 years old (she already looks about 15 anyway). Her post on her wall was something like "call me, let's catch up", which is odd since it was to everyone.

Usual stupid responses. I think mine was something like "Hmm, don't want anymore girl scout cookies". I don't even know if there are girl scouts in her country. And don't care.

Young women don't like to be told they look like children. But there is that "hook" that girl scouts are considered cute and adorable. Evidently it doesn't matter that my comment wasn't logical. Spin that hamster!

Could a good topic for discussion here.

Man, a teacher and 41 years old, leaves his wife for his 18 year old female student.

Heh, look at that teacher's smug mug. Gamma thinks he's outwitted everyone and turned the tables on game. She'll be gone soon once his usefulness expires.

Exactly! It is all about building up others, especially men. It is like 'my religious duty' to encourage and promote the good, hilarious or key issue things dudes do.

Anyways, FEMINISTS hate this and its why I say they live in an unnatural mindset. It is an unnatural state for a woman to put a man in his place, put him down or criticize him.

It ain't right.

@Toby & Anon,

She may leave once his usefulness dries up or his BETA status proliferates. But, what I find interesting and applicable to Vox's latest post on women's suffrage, is the totalitarian reaction of the mother who seems to be doing everything in her power to get the system to destroy this man (and, I note, the clear bias in the article against the man "a man that looks every bit his 41 years"). It seems that the young girl is consenting to this relationship, for the time being, and even voluntarily left her mother's home in favor of this man's, something we would expect in the Game blog community.

ROI said...

My wife gets upset at me when I don't laugh at her jokes / stories. I don't laugh at the non-funny ones. I will laugh at the ones that are funny. Which do happen but then she always acts so surprised when I do laugh.

Nate said...

The hover hand thing is awesome. I knew several guys in high school... classic deltas. To them girls were some kind of special magical species. The hover hand was something I would notice them doing a lot.

I caused a big scene with one of them one time when I pointed out he was doing it and told him to put his hand on her. She laughed about it... and he forced himself to do it. Dude was pissed as hell at me for it.

it bears notice that deltas are often willfully delta... which is the first step down to gamma.

Stingray said...

I missed something. What is the hover hand thing?

Stingray said...

Never mind. Duh.

Anonymous said...

Too true. I especially can't stand the guys who laugh at everything I say, even when it's not suppose to be funny. "I had a sandwich for lunch..." and they respond like I said the funniest thing in the world. A non-good looking guy who's totally alpha or sigma and readily insults you is always way sexier than a smoking hot man who worships everything you do. Gammas make my skin crawl!

That 41 year old dude is an alpha. Just look at the picture. He has the alpha smirk and she adores him.

His only mistake? He got married. His wife could really cash in on a divorce for what he did.

Nonetheless, the teacher's an alpha.

The "other driven" part was profound.

I've been wondering what is is that makes a woman want to compete with a man in the business world. It's really just the service gene, which is why they are so unhappy as careerists.

Lucas said...

VD,

Tried it yesterday and worked like a charm.

I took a swipe at a woman who was getting coments like "ohh . . . you are so cute!" and said:

"You could loose a bit of weight. And the dark area below your eyes could be covered with make-up. oh, and showing your armpits isn't exacly sexy".

She, who did not say a darn thing to all the manginas, sent e "angry" reply saying "WHO ARE YOU? I DONT KNOW YOU: I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION OK?!"

Needless to say, all the manginas "liked" her comments (7 likes, 6 men).

I might get a facebook "Friend invitation" soon.

where it has already been strongly misinterpreted by a reader who insists on being wined and dined as a sign that the man is into her.
