Beta males

A Beta male is a term used to describe a man who tends to be more passive, agreeable, and less dominant or assertive compared to others, often implying a more cooperative and empathetic personality. Unlike the stereotypical "Alpha male" who is seen as confident and leadership-oriented, Betas may prioritize harmony and relationships over competition or dominance. It’s important to note that these labels are simplified traits and individuals can display a range of behaviors regardless of such terms. The concept primarily stems from social dynamics and observations, not strict scientific classifications.
