Generalities again.

You can be shy and be confident and aggressive in how you think and live your life.

Some women will be attracted to shy men because they are just less of a hurdle to flirt with.

There are trends those days, maybe due to feminism, where women are taking more initiative in dating. Women are selectors by definition, so if we let them choose, it might be simpler and just better.

Also women can end up hurt and bored by alpha males, and they will end up seeking simpler relationships.

"hurt and bored by alpha males"

But we should give most alpha males a break, I think. They're as insecure as you are, probably. Most alpha males I know are quite fun to be around. You get to stand in line outside of clubs less.

Always try to know at least an alpha male.

I don't have anything against alphas, I'm just saying some women might prefer a relationship that is less traditional and not oriented towards some masculine ideal. We are not hunter gatherer anymore.

> They're as insecure as you are, probably.

I don't really give a damn. They are millions ways to be dominant.

> You get to stand in line outside of clubs less.

Many women don't like to go to clubs or don't really care to enjoy those kind of privileges.

> Always try to know at least an alpha male.

Actually as a woman, being around an alpha male might actually prevent you from being approached by potential male partners. Unless you are determined to get your alpha male.

I don't really buy into the whole alpha male thing anyway, which revolves around the winner/loser pragma, which is too cliched for modern times. Women yell about the whole patriarchy thing, I don't really believe in it, but I've heard a lot about groups of women who just settle for beta people because they are happy with it. So again, generalities.
