A "Gamma Male" is a term used in social hierarchy discussions, particularly in the context of masculinity. It typically refers to men who do not conform to traditional masculine roles and may exhibit traits such as sensitivity, emotional intelligence, and a lack of competitiveness. Gamma Males are often seen as outside the conventional alpha and beta male classifications. In popular culture, the concept of Gamma Males can be linked to various media portrayals, where they are depicted as the underdog or the friend who supports the more dominant characters. This classification is often debated and criticized for oversimplifying complex human behaviors and relationships.
