Theta Male is an internet slang term used to describe a type of man who is considered lower than an alpha or beta male in terms of social status and masculinity. They are often seen as passive, introverted, and lacking confidence or assertiveness. The term comes from the Greek letter “theta,” which is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet and is used metaphorically to represent men at the “bottom of the hierarchy.”

Examples:
1. John is always quiet and avoids confrontations, which is why some people label him as a theta male.
2. Matt spends most of his time playing video games and has no interest in dating or being assertive. He is often joked about as a theta male by his friends.
