Great question, one I've wondered myself. My family did foster care, and listening teenage girls complain about the faults of guys all day (guys they were already attracted to!!!) didn't help me at all. That and most of them were hot but I wasn't allowed to go near them or my mom would get fired really fucked me up.
Some of you have sisters, some of you do not. Imagine having a hot girl put in your house and told, "Oh no, she's your 'sister' so you have to treat her like your real sister and not touch her. Who cares that you don't have a real sister and have no idea what that even means." You wanna bet that will cause problems? Combine that with being a bit of a nerd and not that athletic once I switched to a big high school from a boarding school where I had no rep or crew no girls would talk to me.
So that was the source of most of my "beta". If I was actually really, genuinely attracted to a girl I had a really hard time approaching them because I felt it was "against the rules."
My mom didn't exactly help in some ways. She was always complaining about my dad to my brother and I. She tried to do right by us, but really didn't have any boundaries when it came to complaining about my father. She was big in teaching male chivalry - which at one point in time was effective game. Too bad times changed.
My father really lacks alpha in many ways. That was more damaging than my mother.
