My mother used to tell me to go for a nerd! I don’t want a nerd. Lol
Your mother was correct.
In a related field, electronics, I have found that the best technicians were not the ones who graduated at the top of their class, but the second tier, ‘B’ students.
The top students usually have a superiority complex and cannot do the actual work, preferring to ‘study’ the problems to death theorizing.
The ‘B’ students solve problems, quickly and pragmatically..............
A working definition of "alpha male": a guy who is seen as desirable by attractive women, who are willing to have sex with him EVEN KNOWING that he is unlikely to commit. A corollary of this is that he knows that he can replace his current woman if she ever gives him an ultimatum of "marry or else".
A woman who insists on only going after Alpha males will wind up in her 30s used up and bitter.
A working definition of "beta male": a guy who a woman will only look at because she has decided she needs a committed provider, and will only have sex with in order to secure commitment. A corollary of this, is that once she feels secure in the marriage, she will lose interest in sex.
There are guys in this country that fall between “Alpha” and “nerd”. More than a few in fact.
And, in our annual meeting some years back we all decided that we didn’t want you.
I’ve got the minutes of the meeting around here somewhere.
