Green bars = beta

[IamRAMBO24]

1. They are crowd pleasers and refrain from speaking their mind.

Alphas don't get phased; they can care less about what others think because they are fully confident in their position. Betas go to the extreme of feminity when they create alter accounts to self praise themselves to find solace in their self worth.


2. They lack the intelligence to truly fight for their position.

With the exception of empire (who I think is a complete dumba*s), most of the posters with red bars are extremely bright characters who can formulate a rebuttal with every attack. The betas usually give up and resort to ad hocs (calling the alphas trolls) because they are too generic to formulate a proper response.


3. People with green bars have weak skin.

Alphas are usually sarcastic; this is the reason why they are a lot funnier than betas. They feed off of criticism because they don't take things seriously. They don't get butt hurt like the betas and call for the mods to ban an alpha poster.

4. You have to be aggressive to be an alpha.

A bit of aggression goes a long way; an alpha fights with his balls, while a beta fights with his vaaaagina. They are usually second guessing themselves because they are afraid of a neg rep, while an alpha does not give a flying f*ck what a bunch of nerds think about them on the internet. Aggression is NEVER physical, but all mental. Fact.


If you are missing any of the characteristics, then you are a full blown beta, so for example, someone like empire might be in the red, but since he's dumb as f*ck, he lacks the badge of being a true blown alpha. On the other side of the spectrum, Macho Man is close to alpha but he still cherishes his reputation. Niko might look a bit aggressive, but he's always second guessing his position in every discussion. Those are the few examples.

this may be the most beta thing I've ever read on ISH :facepalm

real alphas don't have to talk about how alpha they are, that's beta

your jimmies; they appear to be highly rustled

You used to be an alpha. What happened?

[tomtucker]

OP is right

OP if i was as pathetic as you id kill myself. In case you havent, please relize it asap.

Ad hoc.

Prevalant signs of a beta.

[IamRAMBO24]

I would also like to point out the most beta human being on ISH (anime loving Jameer) also happens to be in the green.

Coincidence?

I think not.

[chips93]

making threads about rep (ie, caring about what others think of you) = beta

my dick is bigger than yours

[Underballer]

nice.

[dilley]

Trolling on the internet because you are desperate for attention that is lacking in your offline life = beta

[tomtucker]

my dick is bigger than yours

we demand you both post pictures...with a ruler next to it

[nathanjizzle]

claiming you are alpha, is a beta move.

[rufuspaul]

Alphas get positive rep because their alpha personality commands respect. Alphas neg betas because they can.

[rezznor]

alphas don't need to make threads crying about rep. that's the biggest beta move out there.

Why did this alpha beta thing get started? Worse than swag and yolo :banghead:

That fact you care so much makes you a Gamma bitch. Sub-beta ***.

:lol :lol You have the worst arguments of anyone on ISH. You employ zero logic in your arguments, and further dont seem to comprehend basic arguments. I have legitimately thought you were mentally handicapped while debating you and felt bad about it.

also you display weak skin by whining about your negs.

[IamRAMBO24]

making threads about rep (ie, caring about what others think of you) = beta

No.

I don't care about what others think of me. This is the reason why I have red bars dumb sh*t. The rep system is nothing more than a popularity contest. My criticism of it does not equate to me caring about it.

[DeuceWallaces]

Your criticism is absolute proof that you're a gamma bitch who sucks the rep schlong. If you didn't you wouldn't make these stupid posts.

[IamRAMBO24]

alphas don't need to make threads crying about rep. that's the biggest beta move out there.

Both you and Rufus are betas since you are characteristic of the first violation:

1. They are crowd pleasers and refrain from speaking their mind.

I always rolled my eyes when the both of you brag about how rich and successful you are, and trust me, as an alpha, I'm not jealous of this, in fact, I'm successful in my own life, but is the difference is I'm not looking to the internet to reaffirm my self worth.

Alphas keep their personal life personal; they don't brag about success because they can care less about what others think whether if it's positive or negative. They are content within their own mind and that is all that matters.

[DeuceWallaces]

It's hard to reaffirm what you never had to begin with.

Betas hide behind internet anonymity and lies.

The proper term is "couldn't care less." As it stands now you have room for caring less, which indicates that you do in fact care some now.

[IamRAMBO24]

Your criticism is absolute proof that you're a gamma bitch who sucks the rep schlong. If you didn't you wouldn't make these stupid posts.

This is a failure in associative logic. Let me elaborate my position:

1. I don't care about it because a neg rep does not truly represent the quality of a post.

2. I don't care about it because people are creaing alt accounts to self rep themselves.

3. I don't care about it because those in the green are attention wh*res trying to find approval from a bunch of strangers on the internet.

My criticism does not equate to me caring about it. If I did I would create alt accounts, censor my speech, kiss a lot of a*s, and find whatever means I can to stay in the green; as you can see, I'm in the red, and still speak my mind, hence why I do not care about this farce system.

I would prefer to be a Metta


Mettā (Pali: मेत्ता in Devanagari) or maitrī (Sanskrit: मैत्री) is loving-kindness,[1][2] friendliness,[3][4][5] benevolence,[2][4] amity,[3] friendship,[4] good will,[4] kindness,[3][6] close mental union (on same mental wavelength),[4] and active interest in others.[3] It is one of the ten pāramīs of the Theravāda school of Buddhism, and the first of the four sublime states (Brahmavihāras). This is love without clinging (upādāna).

I also created threads saying I hated a particular movie, but really, I liked it? What kind of stupid a*s logic is that?

[IamRAMBO24]

What am I though, Rambo?

A "nice" alpha.

[KingBeasley08]

Arguing and whining about reps :wtf:

OP is most beta guy on the forum

[iamgine]

Red bars usually indicate low intelligence, as illustrated perfectly by the original post.

1. You care about it because you make shitty threads and posts about it. All hail Beta-bitch.

[DeuceWallaces]

I also created threads saying I hated a particular movie, but really, I liked it? What kind of stupid a*s logic is that?

Hey dipshit, like and care are not the same thing.

You cared enough about that shitty movie that you made a thread about it. Just in the same way you care about your shitty rep so much that you made a thread about it.

You've been mind raped by rep like a true gamma bitch.

[ballup]

This much effort over an online reputation system is so beta. Real alphas don't give no shits about what others think.

[MadeFromDust]

Get off my nuts OP...flattery gets you nowhere with /me

I'm all up in this beta bitch's thread flexing green and my cocaine biceps :rockon:

[AintNoSunshine]

I don't like green bras either it's wierd, black or white or nude is better

[FiveRings]

I've got to say, I do respect some of the posters in red (who are not obvious trolls) far more than I do a lot of the whiny little h0mos like Niko, Scholar, poido, etc.

I know I'm in green, but I'm not beta. I was in red, but a month ago I made a thread about the top ten hottest 15 year old girls and I got a bunch of reps in that thread, turning me green :( Not exactly what I was expecting when starting that thread.

Explaining your rep status = Beta

[IamRAMBO24]

Getting the whole forum to question the one thing they cherish the most = Alpha.

[Budadiiii]

This thread succeeded.

Simply by the way you responded to this ironic thread is how you determined yourself to be either a beta male or an alpha male.

I'm probably the only full-blood alpha in here, but I do notice some predominantly alpha posters as well.

Was Rudolph's nose red or green? Exactly... a beta turned alpha because of his red nose. It changed who he was. It gave him tough skin and forced him to make decisions like an alpha. lol at idiots who still don't understand the meaning of that movie.

[IamRAMBO24]

No one has yet provided a legitimate argument as to why greens are not betas.

I have the evidences to back up my premise:

1. Green bar members create alter egos to self rep - beta.

2. They like to brag about how rich they are because they secretly need the "assurances" of internet members their self worth - beta.

3. They find affirmations in green bars because they are too insecure to define themselves hence why they beg other members to dictate and characterize them as a person - beta.

4. They refrain from speaking their minds because they are afraid of what other's think - beta.

These are known facts on ISH. To me, these are just actions of emotional insecure nerds trying too hard to feel "belong" so they find whatever means to stay in the green. Some of these guys would suck d*ck for green. That's how obssessed they are. It is a sick neurotic obssession and it needs to be addressed.

P.S. This is the reason why mods only ban green bar members.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Definitely agree. :applause: Just look at me, I'm the exception that proves the rule.

[FiveRings]

Explaining your rep status = Beta
Being a Mormon who wears magic underwear. Doesn't get any more beta than that.

U jelly that you don't get magic underwear. :pimp:

[FiveRings]

Well, your little sister left hers behind, so I still have those.

[JtotheIzzo]

yep, that is why the red brigade starts all these rep threads, because its the alpha thing to do.

[Out_In_Utah]

Well, your little sister left hers behind, so I still have those.

Joke fails when I don't have a sister. That was so beta of you.

[Andrei89]

Well, your little sister left hers behind, so I still have those.


Sister comebacks are so lame and old

[FillJackson]

Getting the whole forum to question the one thing they cherish the most

This is hiliarious. How many rep posts has this guy made? How many posts about "Everyone hates me and thinks I'm a dick, therefore I must be uniquely correct" posts has this guy made?

[Bandito]

Why does people like op care so much about red or green bars ? Is that really so important? And either way, red bar members tend to be the worst members on ish. I cant even think of anyone red bar members being an actual good member.

[RoseCity07]

Next tell us how much of "a complete catch" you really are. :oldlol:

[hateraid]

I'm going rant a little here.

The rep system is a joke and does not define anyone. Using it as a gauge to see the status of a poster is a completely irrational way because the system is flawed and bastardized.

I guarantee that if it were to reset today I would have a big long red bar because the people who really invest in this system hoard reps within their rep circle or rep themselves with alters. Quality posts don't get reps anymore. So does that automatically make me a "beta"? I would post the exact same way regardless.

Rambo, I'm going to say this in the most respectful way, but I think you're a product of the rep system. Having negs created who you are and how you post. If there was no rep system I doubt you would be this abrasive nor would you have ever drummed up this idea of betas and alphas.

Ranting about rep is definitely beta.

No. He was horrible before rep came back too.

My theory is that he gets bullied at school, and the name "I am Rambo" is his comfort phrase that he whispers to himself while he hides in the bathroom stalls waiting for the football team to leave the locker room before he changes clothes after gym.

Just my theory though.

[Theoo]

you call my beta your fk** bytch asss i fk** a bytches everyday... :facepalm:

[niko]

Yes, the definition of an alpha male is everyone hates you because you are a douche (like rambo) and you write 1,000 words on your message board rep (i.e.rambo).

These are very alpha male like things, as is his burger flipping job.

[MadeFromDust]

I am the master beta. No one can touch this.

The most intelligent thing I have read from a green bar member yet.

Why?

Because it is honest and insightful. He is speaking the truth (the highest level of intellect).

I rarely see this kind of ingenuity from green bar members because they deliberately restrict and censor their speech to sound like a shallow little girl (of course, with the exception of a few "nice" green bar alphas who I do respect).

[El Kabong]

He is speaking the truth

So you admit that your complaining and posting style is a product of the rep system? Sounds pretty beta to me.
