DR was written after DB and is sort of an "update" of DB. It's not really necessary to read both, but if just reading one then DR is the one to read.

Have you read The Married Man Sex Life Primer? It gets into alpha versus beta behavior quite deeply. Sounds like you're heavy on beta, while this may have worked in the M it's not likely to attract your W back as much as alpha will.



Hey as, thanks for responding.

I'm very self aware of alpha vs beta. Ill admit I have lots of beta qualities, but I do have alpha as well. Ill take a peak at that book. One thing I know is that my ex is not really attracted to alphas that much. She sees them as players or pigs etc. I just have to find the right alpha qualities to show.

Can you give me some examples of good alpha qualities?

I think a major factor in our relationship was that I wanted to be a great father. So I ended up staying home a lot while my ex socialized. She is fiercely independent but at the same time she wants someone to depend on. I am fiercely dependable which worked for part of her personality.

A lot of distancer/pursuer going on. I've been reading about that lately.
