For the vast majority of women to go through the alpha window syndrome that you describe, it means that it has to be a lot of so called alpha guys, which are not
Just by the magnitude of of the hole phenomen, they are just not that many so called alpha guys to happen
It is more about the perceived options and the ego that comes with it
I hear now more than ever this “ there are lines of guys willing to do X or Y for me”
Never heard that sh1t before, not even from really good looking women previously
First, to fully understand my post, you have to understand that I am talking about some women, not all women. Most women stay within their social circles and give you 0% chance of meeting them unless you actively network or approach women in cold settings. The women I am talking about are the actively single women that you are butting heads against at clubs/bars, OLD, and etc.
Now, it is pretty easy for an average to above average smv girl on OLD/warm approach settings to get treated like a princess from a high smv male or anomaly male and then tossed aside when he gets bored or gets caught by one of his gfs/wife. For example, my ex-girlfriend got wined, dined, coddled, and fvcked by some 6ft 5 NFL player (off of Hinge) for a year until he got bored. Now this girl has to go from riding in a 100k plus cars, getting bought luxury gifts every month, eating out at the most expensive restaurants, having the prestige of dating an NFL player to dating a guy that is near or below her smv. Let alone, she was an 8 so not a bombshell or anything special. She is never going to be able to fully adjust to reality, so she is just going to either continue butting heads with these types of men or throw in the towel and be single. This scenario is a woman's nightmare and Tyler Perry literally writes movies about this situation.
Now back to my point: Why is it impossible to think that women won't settle for less when I see men do it too? This is not a sexual exclusive issue; we just live in a time period that we do not have to be stuck in some insufferable relationship to survive. I would not expect you to stay with a girl below your standards for no reason at all, so why should you expect them?
