Let's face it, being a beta is mostly shit. Personally I spend a hell of a lot of time in my own head worrying about nothing. At various earlier points in my life I was definitely more outgoing and happier - more Alpha. I don't think anymore that these concepts are set in stone and are actually quite fluid. So the next time someone sympathetically says 'you're a beta male' and that's OK! - You don't have to accept it. Thanks to @Runtilmylegsdropoff for making me consider this... it has helped a lot.
I feel like i'm on the lower end of the alpha scale but that doesn't mean I can't be a bigger alpha. If you want to transform into something greater, I know it is possible to blow the hell up. You just gotta want it bad enough. If you don't want it, then keep being a little beta bitch (like I once was). Until you want it so bad that you'll die for it, then that day will never come and you'll forever be a beta.
Why be an alpha when you can be Pi? On a serious note the entire “alpha and beta” male concept is a weak attempt by society to try and reconstruct masculinity in a society that’s become more and more effeminate. They think becoming a protein eating, testosterone shitting gym rat/ sexaholic dynamo is what makes them masculine when it really just shows a different type of effeminacy, one which is more on the self-indulgent side of the spectrum. The problem with this concept is it misses the mark. Men become masculine when they live a virtuous life, but the problem with our society is no one is living for something greater than themselves so the concepts of virtue and vice are foreign to a lot of men trying to find their way.
What’s weakness and what’s strength? If you don’t define them then your reply is too vague to be helpful.
You either have backbone or you don’t. It’s as simple as that. You either roll over to shit or you don’t. You either have no fear or you have fear. You either fear death or you don’t.
While I think there are other factors involved, in my experience, doing nofap can make you more alpha. While sometimes I am in a flatline, there are other times when I am in full predator mode, being desperately close to doing things to real women that the fapping me would never ever even dream of. I find myself at times having to consciously refrain from pulling women aside into some backroom. It scares the shit out of me, because I don't want to hurt these ladies (I figure some of them would not be wanting), nor do I want to go to prison. I'm hoping these feelings go away as time goes by and my brain chemistry accustoms to me not fapping.
Is having fears a weakness if you don’t let them discourage you? Is fearing death a weakness if it motivates you to be a better person?
Using terms like alpha and beta... you've already lost. That's a need to be validated by people for acting like someone that you aren't. That's being controlled by the opinions of others. When a person doesn't have a strong sense of self / reality / purpose / certainty, then external things like mainstream media / society will pull you into their reality and decide your identity for you. Because they have the certainty that you lack.
