I had to urban dictionary this one....but pretty spot on. It's a new term I shall use.JustReadTheInstructions wrote: »What exactly is beta orbiting?
Beta suiters are known to usually hang around(orbit) a man or women they are sexually interested regardless of telltale signs that they are being kept at a distance for a reason. This behaviour is seen as similar to the way as Earth revolves around the sun because of gravitational attraction, hence the reference to orbiting.
This behaviour is most popular with males as the hapless beta suitor will go into orbit around a person they find attractive in the hopes that they will eventually be drawn closer over time.
The girl he is orbiting enjoys the attention and will use it to extort favours or as a plutonic companion to cull boredom; she will feed him enough to think that his efforts indeed bring them closer together, when in fact she does not have any motivation to take the relationship further.
But nature, it would seem, it not without a sense of balance and irony as women orbit, too and often a woman who has male orbiters will be the ones orbiting another high-status male. Due to the nature of hypergamy, women want a man of perceived value and an orbiting female will be attracted to a man of very high status, wealth, and power. She will happily make herself sexually available to him, even though she has to orbit him along with other females who are attracted by the scent of his resources or power.
A behaviour which contradicts the narrative of gender equality and woman having the ability to attain goals without the need of a partner.

You have no idea how much I'm really thinking on this in terms of other possible outcomes based on actual orbiting
I figured. I also posted that gif because I know you don't know where it was from.1 -

This is why I don’t want to post selfies anymore. It’s a very odd dynamic I see myself enjoying too much.4 -
