There is a saying that Betas are like a bunch of crabs in a barrel. As soon as one is about to climb out there are always half a dozen ready to pull him back in again.
Add to this a self-doubt from societal conditionings that tell him to stay the same, not to aspire to more, he’s doing it right – and it’s amazing that any guy becomes a more than what he was.
In the past this was been termed the ‘Societal Cockblock’; they tell him he’s compensating, and in a way they’re right, but for the wrong reason. PUA skills, Red Pill awareness, Positive Masculinity are all compensations for prior deficiencies.
They go beyond behavior modification – that’s the easy answer. PUAs teach a set of behaviors and scripts to be aped in order to mask a deficit. These are easy pickings for the Just Be Yourself apologists. They are actions that generally don’t match a person’s known personality.
They’re not “really” like that, so they’re posers, or worse, they’ve been duped by guys hawking the PUA brand of self-help tools. What they don’t see is the genuine desire to change and the reasons for it.
When we compensate, we improvise, we fake it till we make it; but who determines when we’ve stopped faking it? We do. I read all kinds of articles doubting the realized capacity a person has to adopt ‘natural Game’ into their personality.
It’s an internalization process for sure, but there has to come a point of transition where a Man’s default response IS his Game response. That’s who he IS now.
This is why I stress that Red Pill awareness must become a part of your personality.
