It’s tough, sometimes, to be an alpha male lady slayer. Especially in the age of COVID. Consider this unfortunate dude, who took his COVID-related dilemma to the Ask The Red Pill subreddit.
Anyway, you’ll be glad to know that he doesn’t have COVID himself (he gets regular tests for some reason).
You’ll also be just thrilled to know that he got some excellent advice from his Red-Pilled peers.
“Don’t talk to her for 2-3 weeks,” advises gcaa99. “Maybe call her next week just to ask if she’s alright and then continue your silence. And you’re getting oneitis, talk to other girls.”
“You are not her boyfriend,” added ClickKlakk. “Don’t pretend like you are. Minimal concern that is not prioritized over your own choice of dinner or need to do laundry.”
That’ll show the woman he actually likes a lot and whom he’s known for four years bitch who’s the real ALPHA DOG and who’s worth less than a load of dirty laundry.
Sadly, our hero also took his question to the Ask Men subreddit and it should probably be renamed Ask Beta Males because of the advice he got there which was not very Red Pilled at all.
A Redditor called Radiant_Ad_6190 suggested that OP wasn’t even asking the right question.
If you dig the girl and see her as a partner, maybe prioritise looking after her if she has covid instead of selfishly trying to maintain sexual tension?
Pretty sure she will be a combination of worried, run down and supporting her in some way by being thoughtful would go down well.
It’s 2 weeks get a grip, if the things die – you’ve got other problems.
Other Redditors suggested, among other things, that the OP drop off some soup or groceries or even flowers for his now-quarantined friend female thing. AND THEN THE OP SAID THAT HE WOULD DO JUST THAT, in clear contravention of the Red Pill Treaty of 2014
Well, he didn’t actually do that — according to a followup post a week or so later. But he did send her a nice text and offer to help if she needed anything. And now it looks like they will be going on another date after she gets out of quarantine.
He ends his followup post — it’s in the Ask the Red Pill subreddit — with a question:
So, the plan is to take her out, have a good tome and tell her something along the lines of
“Listen, when I hit you up and want to hang out, it’s not for any selfish reasons and to have sex. I’m into you.”
Would this be a good way to go about things?
Actually, no.
Honestly, as much as I hate the whole alpha/beta nonsense, that’s a little too much for me. Insofar as “beta” has any meaning, that’s beta. It isn’t “selfish” for him to want sex with her any more than it would be “selfish” for her to want sex with him. I mean, presumably she enjoyed herself the first time out which is why she’s going to be there for date number two.
Anyway, OP didn’t get many responses from the Red Pill gang to his question, probably because their heads exploded.

@Policy of Madness,
To your explanation I would add that when MRAs think men should get custody (if they want), it has nothing to do with affection for the kids and everything to do with those sweet sweet child support payments that they assume constitute a cash cow for single parents. (The fact that they would then be expected to spend that money on the care of the children, and it would probably not be anywhere near enough and certainly would not free them from the need to do hands-on childcare things always seems to escape them).
@Karalora
I think there’s also an element of property: they view children as the property of their parents and want to have that “property” for themselves. They don’t seem to realize that children aren’t miniature versions of their parents, nor that raising children requires effort on their part, as they seem to think that’s “women’s work” and therefore easy.
Yeah, don’t forget these are the sorts of people who see their wives and children as status accoutrements. Their argument boils down to “I’ve lost one of my status thingies but I’ll be damned if I’m losing them all!” in motivation.
The problem is ONLY wanting a woman for sex. It’s not that hard to understand.
I don’t feel like only wanting a woman for sex is even the problem, as there are plenty of people out there who are really only interested in casual sex, but that the Red Pillers/Incels/MGTOWs/MRAs/etc hate women and yet want to bang them, have a problem with them having free agency, not being able to bang the ones they want to bang, etc, etc.
TLDR version: Wanting women only for sex is fine if you do so in good faith, hating women and bashing them in terms of sexuality, not so much.
