text: 2018, Jennifer Wright, Why Incels Hate Women (from Harper's Bazaar Web site); quoted in: 2020, John Casperson, What If God Has a Vagina?: Why Eve Took the Rap
Alphas are supposedly men who trigger lust in women, because women settle down with betas only because they offer financial stability. Or, as they pithily term it “alpha fucks, beta bucks.” When you look at the men who are labeled alphas and betas, though, you'll notice it gets weird in a way that might surprise you if you are a woman or a normal human.
text: This gets into the Alpha-fucks-beta-bucks concept discussed in the previous chapter. As soon as you get to know a girl, she has designated you either as a nice guy who can provide emotional and (possibly) financial support, but isn't attractive to have sex with, or an Alpha whose clear purpose is only for sex but can't be trusted for anything else.
ref: 2019, Adam Glasier, Online Dating For Men 101: How to Find, Date, Attract, Connect, and Get Into Great Relationships with Women from Online Dating:
text: The following, according to popular belief across the manosphere, is the dual biological imperative of what women are attracted to:
1. physical attraction (genes)
2. life comforts (resources)
When writers in the manosphere discuss “Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks” this is essentially the dynamic they are referring too^([sic]).
ref: 2019, Dr. Lukas Castle, The Blackpill Theory: why incels are right & you are wrong, page 155:

Sinim
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: Borrowed from Biblical Hebrew סִינִֽים.
Senses: examples: text: And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
ref: 1611, The Holy Bible, […] (King James Version), London: […] Robert Barker, […], →OCLC, Isaiah 49:11–12:
text: And then, O house of Israel, behold, these shall come from far; and lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
ref: First Nephi 21:12, Book of Mormon
text: The opinions of commentators are equally varied; some, as Jerome, Jarchi, Grotius, Pfeiffer, and Forerius, suppose that by the land of Sinim is meant the peninsula of Arabia, and particularly the Desert of Sin, and the region around Mount Sinai. Others prefer to understand Egypt, two of whose cities are called, in Scripture, Sin and Syene. Some of the most respectable names among commentators uphold this opinion; among others, those of the Jewish writers Aben Ezra, and Kimchi; and of the Christians, Bochart, Vitringa, Hiller, Seeker, Munster, Clarius, Michaelis, Orton, W. Lowth and Thomas Scott. There is another class composed of those who think that the land of Sinim means China, among whom are Manasseh Ben Israel, Arias Montanus, Dorsch, Langles, Gesenius, Calmet, Dr. Hagar, Dr. Morrison and others. Probably the truth lies between these opinions, and to them our attention may be confined.
ref: 1845, The Land of Sinim; or, An Exposition of Isaiah XLIX. 12. Together with a Brief Account of the Jews and Christians in China., W.S. Martien, →OCLC, pages 11–12:
text: From the internal evidence offered by the context, the country of Sinim is a far distant land, which must be sought for in the East, the only point of the horizon left unnoticed by the author. The word Sinim exhibits the grammatical form of the Semitic plural, therefore it is an ethnic term—the name of a people, not that of a country.
In the Septuagint version the difficulty of identification, ipsis verbis, was explained away by a simple substitution of names. The country of the Persians ἐκ γῆς Περσῶν, was named instead of the country of Sinim.
ref: 1886 December, T. de Lacouperie, “THE SINIM OF ISAIAH, NOT THE CHINESE”, in The Babylonian and Oriental Record, page 45:
text: Perlmann and several others based their contention on the prophesy in Isaiah 49:12 that the Jews would be returning from “Sinim.” Since “Sinim” meant China, they said, and since Isaiah lived in the 8th, or possibly in the 6th, century B.C., both within the period of Zhou (11th to 3rd centuries B.C.), it proved that the Jews were already there.
ref: 1984, Sidney Shapiro, Jews in Old China, New York: Hippocrene Books, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page xii:
text: In this city the merchants make large profits, coming thither not only from all the lands of the Saracens but from Greater India, from the islands of Lesser India and even from the land of Sinim.
