My brother is a super beta. No matter what I tell him, he doesnt listen. He honestly thinks he will be a bad boyfriend if he doesnt pick up his gf on time for a date. He gives her presents for her birthday, Valentines day, 4th of July, Christmas, etc... and he even has a "promise" ring. Hes so whooped and I feel for him because hes my brother. He thinks im a man-whore who will never find someone in my life. They are always constantly fighting too and see him crying like once a month due to relationship problems.
I got a 'super-beta' for a brother too. When I was 13, he tried the usual push me around b.s. that brothers do, and I threw him on the ground and told him never to touch me again. He was 16 at the time.
He left for college and his high school gf followed him. She broke it off with him and started dating another guy. She was probably a 4 and a 2 by her 30's. He's a solid 7 or even an 8. I caught him crying in the bathroom that summer and told him to man up and go date someone else. I was 16, he was 19.
He started to get super religious the next year in college. His next gf was a 2 at best. My friends nicknamed her "John Elway," which is about accurate. Keep in mind he is a solid 7. He married her the summer after he graduated college.
My parents had to bail him out of bad real estate deals twice. He now lives on his wife's family's farm in Northern PA. Converted to Catholicism from Protestant...probably at her suggestion. Has 6 kids with her (Catholics don't believe in birth control. I think he's the only one in America that took that one seriously).
Needless to say, we don't talk very much. This is horrible to say about your own brother, but if it came out that he molested one of his kids, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
My dad and younger brother are very much alpha. Guess he wasn't paying attention. I blame it on my mom's side of the family, which is very weak all around.
I really do wish this story was about a neighbor or a friend. It sucks that it's about my older brother.
