Let me preface this post by saying that I know Mr. Walkway has ridiculous views on women that I largely disagree with. And that I recently entered an awesome relationship with an amazing woman after deciding she was worth not living my life how I imagined, ie: being single until I was in my 30’s and established so I can travel, have fun, live where I want, not be tied down, etc.

friend 1:
28 years old, police officer, dating a single mother (who is quite large) while her baby-daddy resides in the corrections system.
friend 2:
23 years old, no college education, works in retail at Best Buy, dating a single mother of 2 children from 2 different fathers (LOL).
friend 3:
25 years old, college degree in bullshit, engaged to a single mother who he’s been dating for 6 months… looking to be married before they hit the 1 year mark of “togetherness” (they always talk about how much they love each other, on facebook).

I don’t think this has anything to do with being alpha or beta. Or, at least not to the extant that Walkway is making it to be.
What I think it has to do with is guys who have poor boundaries, don’t know what they want, are too passive to take a hold of their lives, etc. I bolded a few points in Walkways quotes that, to me, are red flags. BIG red flags. Call me presumptuous, but I doubt any of the women given as examples sat down and had a well thought out conversation about wanting a child, thinking about it, then planning for it. They sound like the type of women who got pregnant and then 9 months later were talking about how “their little angel is the best thing that’s ever happened to them” on facebook.
I doubt if you had asked any of these guys listed, on the day before they met these women, what their dream life looked like, they would not answer “meet a single mother (with potentially questionable life decision making skills) and father her child.”[/quote]
I think he kept his examples vague enough that we’d try and read into them like that, because it’s probably right but we can’t really be sure. Plenty of white collar prisoners, but we’re assuming that woman’s baby daddy is a hoodrat or white trash of some sort. “Togetherness” makes us think that dude is a lonely dude latching onto any affection he can get. And obviously 23 year old Best Buy guy isn’t attracting a quality woman!
Really though there’s way too little here to say who is and isn’t ‘beta’ unless we make the broad generalization that caring for another man’s kid automatically makes you beta. That’s pretty silly.
Just another stupid Walkaway topic(pun intended).
