A beta male is a term derived from the designation for beta animals in ethology. In the animal kingdom, the terms alpha, beta, and gamma male are commonly used to describe an individual’s position within a social hierarchy. In animal social hierarchies, alpha male are the highest-ranking males within a social group, followed by beta, and then gamma males.[2]
Beta males in human social hierarchies
In terms of human social hierarchies, the term has been frequently used in the manosphere, along with its counterpart, "alpha male", designating males that are not beta.
A beta male is an unremarkable, careful male who avoids risk and confrontation. Beta males lack the physical presence, charisma and confidence of the alpha male. Beta males are often derided because they completely lack all necessary masculine qualities. This is usually achieved by an indulgence and/or indoctrination in emasculating liberal ideologies.
The average beta male is a feminist, nonathletic, and likely reduces all his arguments to labeling the opposition as "Nazis" or other over the top labels.
