CH discussed the three most common types of beta bait a learned man of the field is likely to encounter:</p>
<p>1. <a href="https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/going-sexual/" target="_blank">Incongruent sex talk</a>.</p>
<p>2. <a href="https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/game-recognized-nuking-the-hamster-from-orbit/" target="_blank">Fishing for flattery</a>.</p>
<p>3. <a href="https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/the-third-beta-bait-type-the-bad-boyfriend-ploy/" target="_blank">The &#8216;Bad Boyfriend&#8217; Ploy</a>.</p>
<p>These three are the big ones, but there are other common types of beta bait. Readers PA and mendozatorres described a couple of beta bait tactics that catch inexperienced, sexually undernourished men off guard.</p>
<blockquote><p>An example of beta bait / cougar batting beta [male] mice around for her amusement, which I see on FB:</p>
<p>– Formerly hot cougar posts a non-sequitur<br />
– Beta mouse posts “?” or worse yet, a request for clarification.<br />
– Cougar ignores beta’s question.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, this type of beta bait falls under the category &#8220;Non sequitur lure&#8221;. Beware the woman bearing gifts of random musings to the world of men; she wants to see how fast and how eagerly you&#8217;ll legitimize her empty brain farts. Don&#8217;t even tickle that stinky lure with a curt &#8220;?&#8221;. Let it float downstream, away from you to a stagnant pool of hungry omegas whose rabid nibbling will ultimately make the crafty cougar feel worse than she did before she whored for attention.</p>
<p>If you receive a non sequitur from a woman, the best reply is a. ignore it and introduce your preferred topic of discussion, or b. make fun of it. &#8220;Non sequitur lures&#8221; are dangerous to naive men but can be quite skillfully and productively turned against their owner by a man with knowledge of the crimson arts. Since NSLs are usually so open-ended, the possiblities for gaming them into a personal DHV are endless.</p>
<blockquote><p>The classic one is the sad face and nothing else. Beta bait!</p></blockquote>
<p>While technically this is also an NSL, it deserves its own classification: The Sad Face Sympathy Emoti-Con.</p>
<p>When a girl shoots a &#8220;:(&#8221; over the wires, apropos of nothing and solicited by no one, she expects four kinds of responses from men:</p>
<p>&#8211; Some will ignore her. (A small minority of sexually sated men if she&#8217;s attractive.)<br />
&#8211; Some will ask what&#8217;s wrong. (A large majority of beta males if she&#8217;s attractive.)<br />
&#8211; Some will buck her up. (More horrible beta male anti-game.)<br />
&#8211; Some will fuck with her and send a &#8220;8===D~~&#8221; in return. (A small minority of alpha males who know the rules of the game.)</p>
<p>You want to leave this esteemed Chateau as that last kind of man, the one all the ladies love.</p>
