Oh man, this picture of a herb doing what comes naturally is almost too gruesome to contemplate:
[For this post we have a guest appearance by the judges from ‘American Idol’]
Simon: Paula, your thoughts.
Paula: I think they look cute together. He’s different, he’s unique. I like him.
Simon: [rolls eyes] Randy?
Randy: Dawg, this herb is doing his thing.
Paula: The chin cradle shows real love. [starts to cry] What the world needs are more herbs like him.
Randy: [addressing supine herb] I’m feeling ya, dawg, but dawg, maybe you could, you know, tone it down a bit, you know what I mean dawg?
Simon: Well, I think this herb is dreadful. His puffy face, his soft plush body of a woman, his chipmunk cheeks… just horrible. If I wanted to see something soft and cuddly lay down in the fetal position and rest its noggin in a woman’s lap to be stroked and petted I would get her a fluffy bunny rabbit. The rabbit would probably have bigger balls.
Paula: Simon! That’s mean.
Randy: [to herb] You know, he’s got a point dawg. In the hood, guys like you would get turned upside down by our bitches for your pocket change.
Simon: Randy speaks for the hood about as much as I do.
Paula: [to herb] I think you look fine. You are doing what two people in love do.
Simon: [to Paula] But does he make your gina tingle?
Paula: Simon!
Randy: That’s a “No”, dawg! [Randy high fives Simon]
Simon: [to herb] Look, a word of advice. If you want this girl to stick around, you need to stop acting like a bowl of Jell-O. That means stop planting your face in her lap like a cat. Man up! Her face should be in your lap, nibbling your knob. Especially in public, for god’s sake!
Herb: [fat cheeks quivering with anger] Simon, you suck. I love her, and that’s all that matters. Not everyone has to fit into your alpha-beta categories!
Paula: You tell him, herb!
Simon: [herb’s girlfriend crawls out from under the table by Simon’s chair, wiping her mouth] I’m sorry, I was busy. What was that you were saying?
Ryan Seacrest: [to herb] Congratulations, you’re going to suicide watch, my friend!

There are only two ways a man can act like this herb without suffering the consequence of major beta heartbreak over and over again:
1. Date an Asian girl, or
2. Date women less attractive than himself.
For those of us who prefer to grab the brass ring and date good-looking girls who have options in the sexual market, nauseating herbitude of the type shown in this photo should be avoided as much as possible. At the very least you shouldn’t snuggle up like an albino Smurf into your girl’s lap in public.

The Male head on female lap is actually a common move in France. Whatever one may say about the French, Frenchmen aren’t herbs. I suspect that in countries where women are more feminine, this sort of behavior is less likely to lead to loss of respect or relationship damage. On the other hand, in America the women are more masculine and will look on this as weakness.
This isn’t to say that a french guy would not be setting himself back with this sort of behavior, but only that French women are less aggressively punitive of it than American women.

I’m not a string-along-the-nice-guy type of girl. I genuinely enjoy the company of actual nice guys, tend to have one or two as lovers at any given time because their friendship is always lovely.
However, sometimes there are guys that only know one way of picking up girls (for whatever ends) and that is to be the “supportive guy friend” and wait until the girl “comes around” to his way of thinking or he strikes at an emotionally weak moment on the part of the targeted female. This occurs over months, even years, of this plotting. I find this very disrespectful and manipulative, so when a man consciously tries to do this to me, I get very viscous and aggressive in my tactics.
This has three main reasons: one, it allows me to work out my anger at losing a friend who could not accept my lack of interest in him, who would attempt to hunt me in such a backhanded way. Two, it shows him that this is not successful behavior, hopefully in such a strong way that he does not attempt to do it to another girl in the future. And, three, it brings to the surface his actual intent and mindset, which excuses any rude behaviors on my part and brings to public eye his actions. (Actually, if you go over to my blog-thing and click the Redding tag, he’s one of them. I’ve yet to post about the fallout about that one when he finally broke, and the shit he tried to pull until that point. I’ll get to it eventually.)
I always have this need to be polite and respectful, to be supportive and friendly. But there are types of people that I cannot excuse, whether their actions are towards my friends or myself. This type of man is one of them.
And that whole thing was totally off topic. Apologies, Roissy.

I dunno, i’ve always found something Alpha about using a woman as a prop, pillow, cushion, table, or other various ornaments.
I was at a BBQ last saturday, and was lounging on a couch with my feet resting on a pillow on top of a girl’s lap.
At first, she laughed and tried to brush my feet off. But when she saw I was serious, she loved it. We joked about me beng a modern-day King Tut, and how all I needed was beautiful slavegirls feeding me grapes and fanning me.
Then, I decided to see how far I could push her. I told her that two taps of my foot, meant she should get me a drink, four was to put more beer in the fridge, and six was to check how far the BBQ was coming along.
At first, once again, resistance. But sure enough, a minute after two taps, I had a beer in my hand.
Every other girl in the vicinity hated this, and urged her not to let me do it. I ignored them, and continued our new communication method.
The breaking point came when I thanked a friend for bringing me a tissue.
“Why don’t you thank me?” She said, pointing at her lap.
I looked at her, and said, “Because you’re not done yet.”
She got up and stormed off, with the more bovine-looking women in the room giving me smug smirks.
And yet, once they left the room for more hot dogs and Diet COke, guess who came back in?
And guess where my feet went back to?

There ARE black betas out there. I have an example.
Beta is 20 years old. Very tall and skinny but not awfully ugly.
His conversation usually revolves around big noting himself by mentioning big shots he knows, football teams and how he is a volunteer police officer. He’ll often show off his badge and handcuffs. Creeps girls out on a regular basis by trying to be overly friendly. Accepts drinks from other men but never buys a round. Often hits on women much older than himself. High school education but thinks he is oh so smart.
Recently was engaged to a girl he had been dating for 3 months – then she dumped him.
Is now dating a very overweight white girl – I mean round not curvy. She has very bad skin and is a single mother to an infant and is living with HER mother and her sister (who also has a kid).

Stop trying to make “herb” happen, Roissy. It won’t catch on. Stick to “beta.” Thanks!

the herb is a very special subspecies of beta.
some differences:
herbs often manage to get GFs and marry. many betas suffer years alone and unhappy because they are always striving for the unattainable.
herbs are blissfully ignorant of their herbiness. many betas are all too aware of their predicament.
herbs are family men. betas are everything but what they want to be.
herbs wear frontal papooses and khaki. betas wear anything but what is stylish.
herbs are pasty, overweight cubicle warmers who never forget anniversaries. betas are all that and a lot more.
herbs are borderline androgynous. many betas are masculine but haven’t learned to put their masculinity to good use picking up girls.

Hahahaha, not to hijack this thread- but isn’t that the same guy who drags an abandoned door home to his crib, spends days and dollars restoring it, and proudly presents it to his female other while he is washing the motherfucking dishes?
Like he is some kind of motherfucking green beta democrat hero?
Hahaha, I’m glad I have only 20 years left. Enjoy it, assholes.

Is dating an Asian girl “giving up” the brass ring? That’s the impression I got from the last paragraph, though of course it’s 3:35 am so my judgement isn’t the best.

“Herb” is already a more popular slang term than beta. It’s been a popular slang term for over a decade. If you want to stop it from “happening” you’re almost 15 years too late.

It’s more well-known in the black and hip-hop community so maybe that’s why you never heard it before.

“dan:
I am sorry Roissy. You are alpha/beta obsession shows how insecure you are. Instead of having a true connection with your girl and not giving a f*ck what other people think about you, you would worry about not appearing alpha enough.
and how do you think i am able to achieve and maintain a true connection with my girls, hmmm…?”
By hitting them.
