The betas I think you're talking about are actually incels (involuntary celibates) - essentially, guys who wish they had a girlfriend but can't get one due to physical or mental limitations. They're MGTOW as they choose to define it, but they'd jump ship if a woman took an interest in them.
Most men, generally speaking, are followers, not leaders, and carry that mindset and are true betas. They get laid once in a while and call it 'getting lucky' because it is luck. They just roll the dice enough times and it eventually works out and they get a one night stand or a girlfriend/wife who ends up controlling them in short order. You see them all the time, they're most guys. The best ones are holding their GF/wife's purse - always makes me laugh.
Alphas are basically leaders of men. They get the most pussy (including your wives and GFs… gents, it's true). Alpha thugs (bad boys) don't lead men, but still fuck your wives and GFs and other sluts. In the animal kingdom the 'alpha' is simply the male who has the most access to pussy. Basically, women (or rather, pussy) defines the alpha. Leaders just make more of them wet. And leaders tend to have more money, but more money in itself also makes pussy wet. So sometimes no leadership or thugship is required for the rich guy who does nothing, but is still labeled alpha.
I'm trying to avoid tldr, but oh well… Then there are guys like me. I've been a true beta and I've also been a leader of men. I don't know how many women I've had sex with, it's somewhere around 100 with 8 long term relationships over 2 years. I'm MGTOW and have been for about 5 years. I can get laid pretty much when I set my mind to it and it's not a lot of work. But I've given the fuck up on it all. I just can't stand to listen to women anymore and pretend to be interested in their vacuous bullshit. I get flirted with now by 20 something chicks with daddy issues and it's not 5 minutes into the conversation before they ask what my sign is, FFS. They're all reading the same magazines and watching the same shows. It's honestly like they're the same person, but just with different bodies. It's the same shit over and over and over.
So what am I, beta or alpha? I don't lead men anymore, but I have money and it shows. I don't follow and I don't lead. I have opted out, completely.
