Her.

Beta male falls in love with an Operation System. Yes, an OS. As in...a computer program with no body.

There is a scene in the movie where 'She' wants to please him physically and gets a prostitute to participate in sex while she talks to the girl over an ear piece. The pathetic guy is too in love with the OS to actually fuck the woman.

On second thought, that's not even Beta. That's Omega level inadequacy.

The end of most romantic movies tend to be highly unrealistic where the guy walks on hot coals to win back the love he thought he lost. The Graduate is especially beta because Dustin Hoffman is such a dweeb. It's the sort of thing women can romanticize in their heads but if they were to see it play out in reality they'd never reward this kind of supplication. I mean, come on. Pitiful banging on glass and whining like a f*cking toddler??? If I were in the chapel I would have thrown a brick at the glass to shut him the F up.

Yeah i'll give you that...that moved creeped my ltr out. She couldn't finish the movie in 1 sitting.

I say forget gump when he takes back jenny and believes the kid is his and then she dies of AIDS and doesn't question if he has it or not.
I almost let this slide because the character has some kind of mental retardation.

It will probably be the feature-length film "When Prince Harry Met Meghan".

There's endless source material for this thread. I have a feeling it will be around awhile.

There was room on that plank of wood. Move her butt over and save yourself Leo. What a dork!

A lot of good ones so far, but to encapsulate the whole beta mindset for me, it is these douche bags:



With David Schwimmer's character of Ross as the king of the Beta boys. I only remember seeing part of a couple of seasons before I occupied my time with something else, but the entire character arch for Ross and to a lesser extent Chandler has BETA written all over it. It was popular in my household at first, so I know enough to know that it got significantly better over time as an example of Beta Behavior, and simultaneously significantly worse as a show. After I stopped watching, I thought that it was completely insufferable as a sitcom and wondered why I ever watched it in the first place, other than being popular in the household and I did not want be anti social.

This damaged David Schwimmer for me so much that he is now typecast for me as someone who looks like he gets pinned every night. I never believed that he played a good Captain Sobel in "Band of Brothers." There were better options back when they were doing the series that would have been a more believable sadistic Jewish Captain.

I would have picked Johnathon Silverman in that flick. At least Bernie got Corpse Fucked:

Come to think of it, there’s a thread here about some dude trying this sort of thing... with a piano (?)... and disasterous results.

Cyrano loves a woman named Roxanne, but keeps it secret. He coaches someone else to woo Roxanne, because he thinks it's the next best thing to wooing her himself and facing rejection. Cyrano is feeding love lines to the other man, then when it becomes difficult, takes over and delivers the love lines himself in the dark, where he can't be seen.

Then you might like the Steve Martin remake better. Cyrano gets the girl.
