Props to one of my two favourite manosphere bloggers for pointing out this funny sketch:

Quote:Here is a new clip that mocks beta orbiters from the second season of “Inside Amy Schumer”. I found this to be one of the better mainstream depictions of this sad, and widespread, phenomena. The clip is especially accurate at showing the derision and contempt felt by women towards their beta orbiters, as well as how they manipulate guys to do stuff for them.

I don't get that comment.

Beta Orbitors and over the top PUA's are two different things.

That's a brilliant video. Kudos for finding it and sharing it.

I don't wear fedoras, but I don't get the hate for them.

Are they that bad? I hardly ever see anyone wearing one. Unless it's an elderly gentleman.

I think only celebrities can pull it off.

I think they can look good - but in most clubs it comes across as a bit too 'try hard'.

Women want guys to make an effort to impress them - but if you try too hard it is worse than not trying at all.

It is hard to grasp at times. But basically - a chick wants to imagine you just picked a bunch of random stuff to wear. And the fact it looks great on you is just because everything looks great on you.

It is the difference between being stylish and fashionable.

Co-sign. An extension of this- if you also believe this yourself; that you really can pull it off, then often you can. As an example, I picked out a couple of items from the woman's rail last time I was charity shopping. Plain hoodys, size ten and twelve. Now apart from the fact that I'm busting out of the top and it's showing my v-torso nicely (alhough a bit of a hipster look TBH, won't suit all venues) it's obvious to any girl that it's a girl's top. Did someone say pre-qualification? They'll wanna know who's it is, where you got it.

I have a standard line borrowed from the Beautiful South. You know- "Well, it turns out I'm a perfect ten. But I wear a twelve" Then take that line wherever you want, in middle class/Brit hipster circles you can't loose with music.
