The Socio-Sexual Hierarchy
The original definitions of the SSH profiles
ALPHA: The Alpha is the tall, good-looking guy who is the center of both male and female attention. The classic star of the football team who is dating the prettiest cheerleader. The successful business executive with the beautiful, stylish, blonde, size zero wife. All the women are attracted to him, while all the men want to be him, or at least be his friend. At a social gathering like a party, he's usually the loud, charismatic guy telling self-flattering stories to a group of top-tier women who are listening with interest. However, Alphas are only interested in women to the extent that they exist for the Alpha's gratification, physical and psychological, they are actually more concerned with their overall group status.
BRAVO: Bravos are the good-looking guys who aren't as uniformly attractive or socially dominant as the Alpha, but are nevertheless confident, attractive to women, and do well with them. At the party, they are the loud guy's friends who showed up with the alcohol and who are flirting with the tier-one women and cheerfully pairing up with the tier-two women. Bravos tend to genuinely like women and view them in a somewhat optimistic manner, but they don't have a lot of illusions about them either. Bravos tend to be happy, secure in themselves, and are up for anything their Alpha wants to do. When they marry, it is not infrequently to a woman who was one of the Alpha's former girlfriends.
DELTA: The normal guy. Deltas are the great majority of men. They can't attract the most attractive women, so they usually aim for the second-tier women with very limited success, and stubbornly resist paying attention to all of the third-tier women who are comfortably in their league. This is ironic, because Deltas would almost always be happier with their closest female equivalents. When a Delta does manage to land a second-tier woman, he is constantly afraid that she will lose interest in him and will, not infrequently, drive her into the very loss of interest he fears by his non-stop dancing of attendance upon her. In a social setting, the Deltas are the men clustered together in groups, each of them making an occasional foray towards various small gaggles of women before beating a hasty retreat when direct eye contact and engaged responses are not forthcoming. Deltas tend to put the female sex on pedestals and have overly optimistic expectations of them; if a man rhapsodizes about his better half or is an inveterate White Knight, he is almost certainly a Delta. Deltas like women, but find them mysterious, confusing, and are sometimes secretly a little afraid of them.
GAMMA: The introspective, the unusual, the unattractive, and all too often the bitter. Gammas are often intelligent, usually unsuccessful with women, and not uncommonly all but invisible to them, the Gamma alternates between placing women on pedestals and hating the entire sex. This mostly depends upon whether an attractive woman happened to notice his existence or not that day. Too introspective for their own good, Gammas are the men who obsess over individual women for extended periods of time and supply the ranks of stalkers, psycho-jealous ex-boyfriends, and the authors of excruciatingly romantic rhyming doggerel. In the unlikely event they are at the party, they are probably in the corner muttering darkly about the behavior of everyone else there... sometimes to themselves. Gammas tend to have have a worship/hate relationship with women, the current direction of which is directly tied to their present situation. However, they are sexual rejects, not social rejects.
OMEGA: The truly unfortunate. Omegas are the social losers who were never in the game. Sometimes creepy, sometimes damaged, often clueless, and always undesirable. They're not at the party. It would never have crossed anyone's mind to invite them in the first place. Omegas are either totally indifferent to women or hate them with a borderline homicidal fury.
SIGMA: The outsider who doesn't play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow. The Sigma is hated by Alphas because Sigmas are the only men who don't accept or at least acknowledge, however grudgingly, their social dominance. Everyone else is vaguely confused by them. In a social situation, the sigma is the man who stops in briefly to say hello to a few friends accompanied by a tier-one girl that no one has ever seen before. Sigmas like women, but tend to be contemptuous of them. They are usually considered to be strange, but cool. Gammas often like to think they are Sigmas, failing to understand that Sigmas are not social rejects, they are at the top of the social hierarchy despite their refusal to play by its rules.
LAMBDA: Those men who have quite literally no interest in conventional male-female sexual relations. They clearly have their own hierarchy of sorts, but I can't say that I know much about it other than it appears to somehow involve youth, free weights, and mustaches.
Now, it is important to keep in mind that it serves absolutely no purpose to identify yourself in some manner that you think is "better" or higher up the hierarchy. No one cares what you think you are and your opinion about your place in the social hierarchy is probably the opinion that matters least. There is no good or bad here, there is only what happens to be observable in social interaction. Consider: Alphas seemingly rule the roost and yet they live in a world of constant conflict and status testing. Sigmas usually acquired their outsider status the hard way; one seldom becomes immune to the social hierarchy by virtue of mass popularity in one's childhood. Bravos... okay, bravos actually have it pretty good. But the important thing to keep in mind is that you can't improve your chances of success in the social game if you begin by attempting to deceive yourself as to where you stand vis-a-vis everyone else around you.

SMV vs “ALPHA”
Hello everyone,
I’d like to preface by acknowledging that this is a very spergy question, and is mostly semantics which will 99% have no carryover to the real world.
Please someone clarify what are the differences between becoming “Alpha” and increasing SMV.
Increasing SMV seems pretty straightforward as there are objectives markers (money, appearance, connections and friend groups etc) but “becoming alpha” seems more intangible and personal.
As I understand it being alpha is essentially a measure of how masculine a person is irregardless of external metrics.
Am I wrong is saying that SMV is more closely related to hypergamy, as it can be loosely used to compare you to other men, whilst masculinity is more so important in the interpersonal interaction?
In other words, a woman can only truly fantasize about a man if she believes him to be very masculine a.k.a. Alpha, but her hypergamy also demands she poach a man who is better than most others according to societal norms?
I know you can’t truly separate the two, as being more extroverted, confident, disagreeable, assertive and self-interested will passively increase a man’s SMV as he becomes more popular, pushes harder for promotions and success in entrepreneurship etc.
I ask simply to better understand the definitions and therefore get the most use out of the available resources posted on the RedPill sub.
I’m curious whether it may be said that women subconsciously associate masculinity with a high S.M.V. for the sake of their internal fantasies, and conversely associate beta tendencies to a guy with an outwardly low SMV (halo effect)?
For example any woman would hope to end up with Leonardo Decaprio, because he is rich and famous, and being seen with him is equal to mega clout within the women’s tribe.
Yet there are so many stories of him (true or not) suggesting he is a very introverted and passive guy, the type of guy that red pill would suggest cannot give her the “tingles”. But this is not something that would stop a woman from having sec with him in his case.
On the opposite end, we’ve all heard stories of that loser drug addict type guy who still manages in some rare cases to bag a married chick or something like this simply due to him being such a “alpha” even when he has nothing going for him and objectively lower SMV than a husband with a house and car.
Seems like on the extreme ends of high SMV and high masculinity, having all of one and none of the other may still be enough for a very specific woman.
But again I may not fully understand how they are different and the ways in which they overlap, and would love some clarification.
Read MoreTook a bunch of new photos for the OLD and been slowly replacing them. Best to do this as a drip feed (for whatever reason this works better), you can also A/B test which works best and which order they should be in.
Naturally, my main Whatsapp picture also has to be updated so girls can easily put a face to the name.
Turns out changing your Whatsapp photo is a pretty good low-key dread move. Suddenly plate #1 and a few prospects that had previously dropped off have noticed and re-engaged. All of them pushing to setup some meets with no effort on my part.
Might experiment with this a bit further moving forward. Think this could be a useful tactic for when the full plate rotation is back.
It's incredible when you take forever to respond to women and they still say "sorry for the late response" after 20 minutes of not hearing back from them

usually through social proof and/or pre-selection
Miss walking into events, passing security with a dap. Cordinator gives me hug. Photographer calls out Kloi, I flip em the bird, they snap my photo.
Any female that wasn't a regular would gravitate towards our groups because everyone else seemingly was.
Pussy would just fall in my lap because women thought I was something special when in truth we all just ran in the same crowd with the staff. Of course our friends gave us special treatment they shouldn't have bday.
If you can curate it, social game is unmatched from my experience. It was my crutch from freshman year to my late twenties.
Only reason I learned to open women was because I moved out to the West Coast where no one knew who the fuck I was.
Also find some girls will be 2 or 3, and then switch to 1.
I went to a little social on Friday at a local bar, no gaming just strictly social. Walked up to a girl, introduced myself. Got a limp handshake and "eh" response. So just turned to the guy stood next to her and spoke to him for a good 10 minutes. Carried on along my rounds around the bar introducing myself.
Bit later in the night that same girl is giving IoIs and hunts me down to say goodbye - despite never having a conversation. So does happen.
I only interacted with women who were stealing me. I didn't approach even one woman tonight who wasn't trying to get my attention. Worked better than usual
I never did the dance hall thing, but that was similar to how I did things once I started hitting my stride:
1) see IOIs? Approach and open, even if it's just "hi!" Anything is better than nothing.
2) no IOIs? No matter how pretty the woman is, if she's not showing interest, don't bother.
3) woman you're talking to starts putting up barriers? Resistance? Showing disinterest? Leave. Cut it off and move on.
It worked really well for me. Pick from the ones who show interest, and continually gauge their interest. Don't waste time and effort trying to win over the uninterested.
It saves a lot of time and energy, and you face less rejection so your morale/confidence stays high.
Read MoreAs you say, the less you care and the less invested you are the more success flows to you. But when you end up in a rut or on a bit of a losing streak it can sometimes be difficult not to take it to heart.
Quote-repeating again for anyone lurking or following along.
