In your experience, what states/ areas of the US do Betas congregate? Perticularly, SLEs? Do Betas even congregate, or are we all loners?
...Maybe this should be under Meet-ups. lol

Attachment 4037
I took your post to mean the geographical location as in the whole world, and not states in the U.S. My bad.
Interesting. Ive never actually been to Portland, but I guess the vibes I get could be Beta-ish. Actually, my great EIE friend moved there several years back with her (I believe) SLI husband. They are thriving there; love the culture, people, etc. Now I really have to get there. I desperately want to meet some of my own kind, doing the things they love to do.
As for hipsters... not sure if Beta. Maybe some of them are - but yeah, like you said, I think the trendy ones will be SEIs, and the hippyer ones will be Delta NFs...
You could try Hollywood if you want to meet EIEs, lol.
Groups for women who date murderers in prison will likely have a lot of beta NFs
lol I think someone's trying to meet you @Estel
I've met SLE's at every job i've ever had.
Jobs, Gyms, and Bars. Thats where you should go.
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

US is totally overrun by deltas
(not sure if this is actually true or observation bias)
I think the Mid West culture is predominantly Delta.

Betas are everywhere. It's not really a matter moving somewhere else, it's more a matter of exposing yourself to different social situations, then you'll find them.
Over here, SLEs are pretty entrenched in mainstream kind of stuff. Drinking in bars, playing and watching sport, dancing and hitting on people in night clubs and going to music festivals (dance music and hard rock/metal rather than acoustic/folk/indie stuff).
Less into artsy shit generally, more 'normal' interests.
Well I'm not from the US but it's funny that you don't seem to meet a lot of SLE's. I ran into a bunch of them every time I go out and they are usually really hard to miss. Go to any night club and it will be packed with them. Also bars (especially popular costly ones or more rowdy ones), sports events, fitnesses, casinos lol....everything that is mainstream usually.
Or, if you still have problems, get "lost" in the sketchy part of town or hit up a local dealer (jk, jk).
