The Beta Male Revolution: Why Many Men Have Totally Lost Interest in Marriage in Today's Society
If you are a man reading this, what is the difference between your definition of a 'good girl' vs. your definition of a 'kinky slut?'
If you are a woman reading this, what is the difference between your definition of a 'nice guy' vs. your definition of a 'bad boy'?
There are some men who women love engaging in multiple episodes of short-term and/or non-monogamous 'casual' sex, but they would publicly categorize those men as 'jerks' who would never be qualified to be a woman's husband or faithful boyfriend.
Similarly, there are some women who men love engaging in many episodes of casual sex, but realistically, they would never, ever entertain the thought of having that woman become their next long-term girlfriend or future wife.
What about the men and women on the opposite end?
What about those men and women who seem to have a lot to offer members of the opposite sex when it comes to their very friendly, accommodating, and entertaining personalities ... but many of these same men and women are perceived as 'boring' and unsatisfying sexually?
If any woman believes that men want to choose between the monogamy-oriented 'good girl' type and the kinkier and more promiscuous 'slut' type, they are being naive. Many men want BOTH types in their life.
Similarly, if any man believes that all women want to choose between the friendly, personable, and financially generous 'gentleman' or 'nice guy' type and the kinkier, more erotically dominant and seductive 'bad boy' type, they are also being very naive. A good number of women in society want BOTH types in their life.
In the middle of the 20th Century, it was the women who were primarily frustrated with the deceitful and sexually duplicitous ways of men, and their response was The Second Wave of Feminism and the Sexual Revolution.
Now, in the first two decades of the New Millennium, it is now men who are very angry and frustrated with the deceitful, manipulative, and sexually duplicitous ways of women, and their response is what Author Alan Roger Currie refers to as "THE BETA MALE REVOLUTION."
Currie asserts that 21st Century dating rituals are vastly different than the dating rituals our ancestors engaged in during the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century.
The appeal of entering into a strictly monogamous marriage has diminished significantly among both men and women, and in today's society, many single men and women have given in to their more promiscuous and/or polyamorous tendencies, and avoid long-term monogamous relationships and strictly monogamous marriages altogether.
Currie categorizes this book as somewhat of a 'prequel' to his other popular books, which includes 'Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking' and 'Oooooh . . . Say it Again: Mastering the Fine Art of Verbal Seduction and Aural Sex'
Read this book and find out where we are as a society, and where we seem to be headed regarding the institution of marriage and the concept of traditional monogamous relationships.
In addition to being a book author, Currie tours the country as a public speaker who discusses issues related to developing better interpersonal communication skills between men and women, erotic dominance and submission, and date-rape and sexual assault prevention. Currie has also spoken in Berlin, Germany and London, England.
Currie is an alumnus of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana and has appeared on local, regional, and national television and has been interviewed numerous times on local, regional, and national talk radio programs.

In Author Alan Roger Currie's fourth paperback (this one is billed as a "prequel" to his first three), Currie makes the strong argument that one companion is not enough for either men nor women.
Currie states in this book that men want at least two women in their personal life: one woman with monogamy-oriented convictions (the "good girl") and another woman with more kinky and promiscuous leanings (the "harlot").
Currie suggests that women want even more men in their personal life - as many as four! One man for strictly sexual enjoyment and satisfaction (Currie labels these men 'Total Alpha males'), another man for both sex and long-term male companionship (Alpha males with Beta traits) or primarily financial security and entertaining conversations (Beta males with Alpha traits), and the remaining men for just emotional empathy and support and platonic friendship (Total Beta Males).
This might be the best book ever written to answer the question "Why do men and women cheat on their spouses?" Currie, not a licensed psychologist, offers great insight on the covert motivations of both men and women in today's dating scene.
In summary, this book offers a lot of food for thought for men who are frustrated over the hypergamous nature of women. This is an instant classic!

This book is about modern relations between men and women, focussing particular on beta males. It describes how women ride the cock carousel with alpha males, before settling once she is past it for a financially secure beta male who she doesn't respect or fancy but who will provide for her for the rest of her life. The beta male is unaware of her past and how she views him. According to the author, women's hypergamy makes them sleep around with these alphas, she wants the best possible guy she can get, but she often isn't high value enough to gain their commitment. Their looks decline, they realise they won't get their alpha, and they are forced to settle for a beta – a situation the woman deeply resents. Infidelity and divorce often follows. This book aims to enlighten people of this situation, and to encourage beta males not to accept women like the above.
It's not a nice way of looking at things, but seems pretty accurate. People have massive freedoms these days when it comes to dating, but are not equipped to deal with it. They have the freedom to fuck up their lives. Of course, all this goes against the mainstream, establishment viewpoint, but we know that's no good.

I have to say this is one of the best books I have read about the manosphere and ladies you can keep on living in denial about sexual selection between alpha and beta guys. You can go on denying about leading men on. You can go on being in denial about the sexual marketplace. Deny all of that and it will come back to bite you in the ass. There are a lot of disingenuous in western society. I dated some of them. All of my ex-girlfriends were disingenuous. You can keep on living in denial and keep saying to yourself the manosphere is full with bitter men and whatever shaming tactic you can come up with. The problem is not men. It's women. Until women realize this expect more and more men to walk away from the table. This is an excellent book and also quotes for Rollo Tomassi books in there for The Rational Male series. Definitely an excellent read!

All in all a good read. I recommend any man to add to his library! He's straight with no chaser.

If you have yet to listen to any of Alan Roger Currie’s first three audiobooks, make sure you put this one first on your list. Even if you have already listened to his three previous audiobooks, this new one is still worth a listen. This latest audiobook is like a companion piece to his three previous audiobooks.
‘Mode One,’ Alan’s first audiobook, explains to men why verbally communicating with women in a straight-to-the-point and direct way is far better than verbal communication with women that is indirect, vague, ambiguous, or blatantly dishonest and misleading. This audiobook also introduces Alan’s male listeners to the four categories women that all men will encounter, in terms of their verbal communication style: reciprocators, rejecters, wholesome pretenders, and manipulative timewasters. For this audiobook, Alan also has pre-printed journal notes that you can purchase separately.
‘The Possibility of Sex,’ Alan’s second audiobook, explains to men why verbally communicating with women in an indirect way or subjecting yourself to ‘funclubbing’ with women (Alan’s unique term for a man pretending to be interested in remaining just friends with a woman when he knows he wants more) sets a man up to be misled, manipulated, and toyed with by women on a consistent basis. This audiobook concentrates on the category of women that Alan refers to as ‘manipulative timewasters,’ which are women who pretend to be interested in having sex with a man, but really, these women just want to use men for their platonic friendship and occasional monetary favors.
‘Oooooh … Say It Again,’ Alan’s third audiobook, teaches men how to make their voice smoother sounding, and more persuasive and seductive, and also how to read explicit erotic novels written by heterosexual and bisexual women to learn how to develop a talent for talking dirty to women and tap into their already existing sexual fantasies that they keep hidden in their heads. Alan makes listeners believe that they can get women sexually aroused in their very first conversation with a woman if they become really good at talking dirty to women by whispering in the woman’s left ear. This audiobook concentrates on the category of women that Alan refers to as ‘wholesome pretenders,’ which are women who pretend to be monogamy minded prudes in public, but privately, they are really very kinky, sexually adventurous and experimental, and even promiscuous.
‘The Beta Male Revolution,’ this audiobook, gives male and female listeners a brief, but very intelligently explained history of dating and relationships between men and women in the USA, and it explains how two decades (the 1960s and 1970s) pretty much changed everything between men and women forever. Basically, Alan says that US society (and probably even other countries too) has not really recovered from what happened between men and women in those two decades, and that those two decades ultimately caused women to view men in four categories: men who are good for satisfying sex, and not much more than that (total alpha males), men who are good for both sex and long-term companionship (alpha males with beta traits), men who desperately want to help a woman raise children in a family unit and are willing to take care of a woman’s financial needs and obligations (beta males with alpha traits), and men who women either ignore completely or only contact to be flattered or to have those men provide them with emotional support and listen to them whine about their problems with alpha males (total beta males).
I won’t give away much more than that. You have to listen to it for yourself. Women, I would assume, will learn a few things about how men work too, but this is a goldmine of information for men in terms of helping them fully understand what makes women tick. I guarantee you that after listening to this audiobook, you will understand just about everything there is to understand about why women do the things they do and why they act differently toward different types of men!! This is a must-listen for all men!

Misogynistic drivel

If you’ve read one Alan Roger Curie book on dating, you’ve read them all.
I won’t be all critical. It is true that these book, the Beta Male Revolution included, are written badly, have unstructured and chaotic content that seldom has the questions posed properly and extensively answered (to a satisfactorily extent at least), possess one-sided answers where critical thinking or even looking at alternative points of view are often lacking, and to top it all are very repetitive in the provided argumentations.
But there are rare gems found within.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember what the gem here was, but it was probably something along the lines of “don’t be a beta male” or something. I don’t know. To be absolutely fair to the writer, I recall that when I read the book that particular gem did strike quite the note with me and I kept it in my mind for a long period of time, but I just can't recollect what it was.
Another plus side to Curie's books is that they are short and easy to read. Big plus here, nothing worse than a boring or poorly written book that is also long.
If you’re bent on reading an Alan Roger Curie book on dating, just read Mode One and forget about the rest, I’d say. Everything important that he had to say is there.

While monogamy and traditional values have been touted as the norm, this has never been the case for the overrated monkeys that humans are. Time to look under the hood and see the observable biology underneath.
My chief complaint is the misuse of alpha and beta split into four tags. It's tedious and wrong. How is Beta with Alpha traits different than Alpha with Beta traits, again?
Once you stumble through that, a useful explanation of the various types of men and women, and why none of them will ever be satisfied, emerges.
A solid read. I'd recommend it to anyone puzzled by the modern dating landscape.

Confronts the uncomfortable truths surrounding modern masculinity. With a sharp and uncompromising analysis, this book sheds light on the bleak prospects faced by the contemporary ‘beta male.’ Their struggles in today’s relationship dynamics are laid bare, suggesting a grim future for those who cannot adapt. This is a must-read for anyone brave enough to face the harsh realities of today’s gender politics. It’s a wake-up call, direct and unfiltered.

Just a collection of over descriptive definitions, no thesis is set forward or main theme followed. Really all over the place.

Alan Roger Currie’s fourth paperback, The Beta Male Revolution, is a must-read for both men and women. This book highlights many of the major differences between contemporary romance and marriage and the attitudes toward romance and marriage in the previous three centuries.
In his new book, Alan seems to criticize the nature of what he refers to as obligatory monogamy, and only recommends monogamy that feels natural and organic to the man and woman involved. The author points out that dating and relationships between men and women have never really been the same beginning with 1980 when he feels society became more accepting of women indulging in premarital sex and what is now known to many millennials as the ‘hook-up’ culture.
As a woman, what I liked about Alan’s book is that he is not one-sided in his criticisms. He does not attack women’s behavior only, or men’s behavior alone. He has criticisms for members of both sexes who he feels are very dishonest, insincere, manipulative, and sexually two-faced.
You may not agree with every point that Alan makes in The Beta Male Revolution, particularly if you are of a more traditional nature, but I can guarantee everyone will take something valuable away from this book. The book is eye-opening and intriguing for men and women alike, and it is very well-written, intelligent and will make you think for days after turning the last page. I highly recommend this book and strongly urge everyone to purchase a copy.
