A "Beta Male" is a term often used in social dynamics to describe a man who is typically more passive, less dominant, and may prioritize relationships and emotional connections over competition. Unlike an "Alpha Male," who is often seen as a leader or assertive figure, a Beta Male may be more agreeable and accommodating in social situations.
This concept is frequently discussed in the context of masculinity and gender roles, where societal expectations can influence behavior. While some view Beta Males as lacking confidence, others argue that their traits can lead to strong, supportive relationships and a different kind of leadership style.
