Locks on the fridge door? Your roomate clearly has Prader Willi syndrome and you should relentlessly mock the micropenis and hypogonadism he's worked so hard in life to hide from everyone.

So he's too strong for you to do what you'd like to do to fix the situation, and he's also banging your sister so you let him get away with things. That is beta.

Move out. This story won't have a happy ending, lock on the door or not.

Can those throwing around the term "beta" please head back to the gym and get your pump on.

I am assuming that is directed at me, and I have zero clue what that even means.

I find it fitting that the one person who's antics made me choose to take a break from this site because of their pompous attitude and annoying comments from behind the safety of his keyboard, is the one that had to be the first to make a dickwad comment to me since I came back.

Nice to see you haven't changed. I guess it is back to lurking again. You are a big part of the problem with this site Adam. You just cannot act civil, and not throw out insults at every turn.

Am I the only one who has never heard the word "beta" used in this context before this thread?

I honestly had never heard the word beta before this thread. Is it like acting like a coward or something like that?

The fact he is your sister's boyfriend changes the situation. He is pulling older brother behavior on you which is completely acceptable until you do something to make him decide not to. You either need to kick his arse (which doesn't sound possible) or sabotage some food with exlax or pubes or something.

It sounds like its a way of saying that the guy is letting the Alpha (male) get the better of him, thus relegating him to nothing more than Beta (male) status (i.e. a doormat).

That's my guess, though I've never heard it used like that. Easy enough to make the connection.

Lol at beta. In the animal kingdom the alpha human steals the cheetos from the beta human. Let us see if the beta male can assume the alpha male role by locking the cheetos in his room.

You're right, curt remarks behind a keyboard is so beta. He should say them to your face like a real man. Now where, did I leave my HGH?

What if I wanted to watch some old classic movies on my beta? Do I have to go to the gym first?

Dude, you can't honestly be that sensitive?

I am literally nothing to do, nothing. I'm a dude and we both post on the same messageboard, that's it. I think referring to someone as beta when they aren't being an "alpha male" is silly.

Haven't changed?

I'm 30 years old, what kind of change did you expect since you've been kind of gone?

They use the term beta all the time on 4chan. I never thought i'd see slang from there used on here though.

Just put a pad lock on your mini-fridge in your room and lock your stuff in there. Problem solved. Also, when you buy groceries make him pay for half.

You realize that you posted this about an hour after your "man up" comment?

Maybe you should take your own advice? In a much less threatening environment no less.

Wow man you can't be so sensitive. I though it was funny, its a sarcastic comment, no big deal. .

Don't assume the comment was made with you in mind either..
