ties: If you are thirty have no responsibilities in life you need to take a good look at what you are doing with yourself. You should seriously be thinking about marriage and children, and at the very least be involved in some capacity with organized social groups like a church, business groups, or volunteering somewhere. If you are involved already take a look at helping out in a defined role while balancing family and career. You might be in position to offer monetary assistance besides just giving money like financial advice. By your late thirties you might find yourself in a leadership role somewhere so be ready for it.
Forties: Be involved and be ready to offer experience, support in defined roles, and monetary assistance. People will want to rely on your for important things in an organization if they can. Will you be ready and can you do it? You’ll have the experience and knowledge to get things done and can be a big factor in helping an organization. If you show the talent and interest you’ll likely be asked to take on important roles.
Fifties and Sixties: You’ll help run the organizations you are involved in if you have any capacity to at all, and be in the process of mentoring the younger members. Even if you are just a member your experience and wisdom can be invaluable for the younger men, particularly those who are in their 20s and a little lost in life. If you’ve been irresponsible your entire life and arrive at 50 with no real responsibilities outside of your work, then change that fact. Get involved. Get out of the house and do something good. You’ll be 60 soon regardless, so get on it.
Retirement years: Many voluntary organizations are run by retirees as they have the time to do it, and many have been involved for decades. Enjoy! Once again help out as you can as you never know how much time you have left and you’re never be washed up as long as you continue to help those around you however small the amount.
Doing Good
Deltas are virtuous by showing up and doing their jobs as they aren’t natural leaders, they generally aren’t very flashy and usually don’t have very many dynamic and groundbreaking ideas. Instead they do their jobs with dedication and care while being responsible for what they’ve been given. If you are given responsibility and do well with it, you can expect to be given more. If you don’t have a lot of responsibilities in your life you need some so go find some. There’s always good to do in the world with the most ordinary and mundane things, which can be as simple as making sure the uniforms for your softball team is ordered on time. Be a Delta, get involved and do good.

There was a short story on Roosh's site someplace. I forget the name of it now. But in it, a man was offered a chance to go back in time 50-60 years or so. He was used to being doted upon, complimented for his ideas and contributions, etc... Naturally, in the old days, things just didn't work like that. You hit the bricks and did your job. But he found consistent employment, real friends and more mannerly women.
The man wound up asking to go back to his own time, missing being "valued for his ideas." This turned out to be a big mistake, because he was soon fired from his developer job and replaced by a guy from India. I don't know if Roosh intended it, but it seemed like a good comparison of Delta life and Gamma life.
The lesson there, as it is for Gammas aspiring to Delta, is to get used to the fact that you are not special. You're peon #90759. You're a shrub, a houseplant, and when you die, you will not go down into the annals of history. But you will live a better life nonetheless. You will have work to be proud of. There will be people who genuinely care about you. There will be places where you can contribute through hard work and dedication. It's much more mundane than you may be used to, but also much more fulfilling.
It's plain there is zero excitement in life for a delta. You can hear it in the bland tone of these pieces in the delta series.

I'm still not seeing the benefits or a reason to discontinue the path of starving the beast.
"You should seriously be thinking about marriage and children"
Pfffft.

More like going to jail and dropping the soap.

Then it's the perfect aspiration for a gamma because gammas don't handle real excitement very well at all.

What do you think happens after the beast is dead? Are you going to wait for someone else to build up a new society, or are you going to build it yourself?
Most good things in life aren't exciting.

I'm looking to leave the US for greener pastures. Probably someplace where the weather is nice and the women act like women. You can stick a fork in the developed part of western civilization

These pieces do seem like encouraging men to settle for mediocrity, which is distasteful to me, to say the least. However I believe they are written for men who are currently below the rank of delta, which makes all the difference.
For a gamma or omega a normal 'boring' delta life would be quite an improvement.
Personally I am much more interested in learning about the differences between delta/beta/alpha and about how men who are already above average an strive for greatness.
*can strive for greatness.
Double E,
Learning about Alphas and Betas is good, but unless a man acts it's simply mental masturbation. You have to live it for it to matter.
There's hella little excitement in popping out babies and cooking supper for your husband, but that's what I hear you guys praising to high heaven for women. This is the man's version. If you don't want to do it then don't, but stop bashing hard working, decent men. Yeah, I know. These guys aren't getting laid and aren't getting respect. Tell that to my husband and my father in law and my brothers in law and the deacons and elders at my church. You know how many men really make history? Not many. You know how many stories my son will hear about the great-grandfathers he never met? A damn lot of them. Piss on this life all you want. If the history books don't remember them at least their sons and grandsons and, if I have any say in it, great-grandsons will. It's a good enough life for my husband, and it's good enough for me.

The same could be said for learning about deltas, and the stuff you are writing. Most people will not act on it in either case, so what is your point?
Delta Man, I get that you're describing what we should do. What I'm waiting for is why I'm supposed to give a shit. I know several women worthy of the title of wife and mom for good reason. They're all married and have kids. What I'm looking for is someone to give me a way to drastically reduce the search costs for a woman worth marrying. I've encountered two in 20 years that weren't already married.It's like trying to get to buy a car when Yugos are the only models for sale..
BG, I'm going to write a dating post in the future but there's no doubt it is difficult, few short cuts, and no guarantee of success. It's not hopeless though, and I don't like seeing men give up hope.
Deltas are necessary to civilization. Perhaps even more so than many Alphas and Betas, because a society that is too heavily skewed towards Alphas rapidly falls apart into something like what we see in Sub-Saharan Africa. A society loaded with Gammas skews toward the current madness of Western civilization.
I won't even pretend that I know the ideal balance, but I can tell you that if you want civilization to survive, then we need to get about converting as many Gammas to Deltas as possible. And the Gammas who won't convert... we need to ostracize them and remove them from the levers of power.
Look, I know all of you who are higher ranked than I am look down on Deltas, too. That's the way of the world. I understand. But you're standing on their shoulders, too, and there's something to that. From where I'm standing, Deltas are good, honest, decent men. They have a place, and best of all, they KNOW their place. That's better than any Gamma. Somebody has to fix your car, or install that bit of plumbing in your house. In a world in which women weren't so fucking entitled and full of themselves, the Deltas would be marrying
