Glossary of Terms and Acronyms Flashcards
Alpha
Socially dominant. Somebody who displays high value, or traits that are sexually attractive to women. Alpha can refer to a man who exhibits alpha behaviors (more alpha tendencies than beta), but usually used to describe individual behaviors themselves.
Alpha Widow
A woman (typically but not necessarily post-wall) who has been abandoned by an Alpha male. No matter how great her new man is, she will perceive him as failing to meet the standard of the alpha she was previously associated with. Due to hypergamy, a woman cannot date backwards, once she gets say, a male 8, she cannot date below a male 8 and be happy with him. If she does, she is just using said man for resources (BB) and doesn’t really love him. Essentially, a damaged woman accustomed to a tier of man she can no longer attract. See “Post-wall” and “Hypergamy.”
AMOG
Alpha Male of Group
AF/BB
Alpha Fucks/Beta Bucks
ASD
Anti-Slut Defense
AWALT
All Women Are Like That. Often expressed after an example of hypergamy.
Beta
Traits of provision: either providing resources or validation to others, women (and perhaps men). Beta traits display low value to women if they are are put on too strong or too early in meeting- giving without equity. Beta can be used to describe individual behaviors, as well as people who have an overwhelming amount of beta properties (opposed to alpha).
Blue Pill
From The Matrix and its sequels. The path of conformity with Society’s expectations; the state of being unaware of the problems engendered by society. Compare with “Red Pill,” below.
CC, or Cock Carousel
The period of time in a woman’s life where she successfully exploits her sexual value and maximizes her hypergamous tendencies by having sex with as many alphas as possible. Usually happens between ages 18 - 27. Often ends when the woman hits the wall.
CH
Chateau Heartiste
Close
The apex of an interaction. Often preceded by an indication of the type of close, eg. f-close (full close or fuck close, the interaction led to sex), k-close (kiss), #close (receiving phone #).
Comfort Test
Similar to a Shit Test, but meant to gauge your level of Beta traits. Typically only encountered in LTRs. While not discussed as often as shit tests, a successful LTR requires that you pass these as well.
Covert Contract
An unspoken deal with terms the other party would never agree to. Most typically seen by orbiters trying to negotiate desire: “If I do a favor for her, she’ll go out with me.”
DT, or Dark Triad
A combination of three personality traits: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy. An effective short-term sexual strategy.`
DHV
Display of Higher Value, the accomplishment, anything that improves your sexual market value in the eyes of another.
DLV
Display of Lower Value
DQ
Disqualification. Used by women as an IOD. Used by PUAs as a method of disarming ASD by appearing to be disinterested.
Dread Game
Purposefully inciting jealousy in an LTR by openly getting attention from other women. Soft Dread is similar, but less open. With Soft Dread, the attention doesn’t even need to be real. Creating the possibilty for female attention is enough to get the hamster going. (If you develop a great body, she knows that other women will find that attractive without having to actually see other women displaying interest.) The purpose of using Dread is to get the target (wife, girlfriend, plate) to step up their game to compete with other interested women.
Feminism
”A doctrine built on the pre-supposition of victimhood of women by men as a foundation of female identity. In its goals is always the utilization of the state to forcibly redress this claimed victimization. In other words, the proxy use of violence and wealth appropriation. In whatever flavor, and variation, these two basic features are common to every doctrine using the label feminism. Feminism is therefore, a doctrine of class hatred, and violence.” (John The Other, “Why not date a feminist?” A Voice For Men, 4 June 2012.)
