Beta male is a slang term used to describe a man who is perceived as weak, submissive, or lacking in dominant traits or assertiveness. It is often used to contrast with an alpha male, who is seen as confident, strong, and assertive.
The term “beta male” originated from the hierarchical concept of pack animals, where the “alpha” is the leader or dominant male. In human terms, it refers to a man who may struggle with confidence, assertiveness, or taking charge in social situations. Beta males are often seen as followers rather than leaders and may be overshadowed by more assertive individuals.
Example 1: John is such a beta male; he always lets others make decisions for him and avoids confrontation whenever possible.
Example 2: Mark was often labeled as a beta male by his friends because he lacked self-confidence and always sought validation from others.
