Zeta Male

A Zeta Male is an internet slang term used to describe a man who is considered to be below both Alpha and Beta males in terms of social hierarchy. Zeta males are often depicted as introverted, socially awkward, and lacking confidence. They are typically seen as those who struggle with building relationships or asserting their dominance in social situations.

Here are two practical examples illustrating the use of the term:

1. John is often described as a Zeta Male because he finds it difficult to approach others and engage in conversations. He is shy and lacks self-assurance, which makes it challenging for him to fit into social groups.

2. Mikes friends often tease him for his Zeta Male behavior, as he tends to avoid conflict and steps back when faced with challenging situations. They view him as submissive and believe he lacks the assertiveness associated with an Alpha or even a Beta male.

John, being a Zeta Male, struggles with expressing his opinions and often goes along with others’ decisions to avoid confrontation.
Mike’s Zeta Male tendencies were evident during the team project when he allowed others to take the lead and didn’t assert his ideas or contributions.

Synonyms:
weak, submissive, passive, low-status, unassertive, socially awkward
