What Is an Omega Male?
Lately you may have heard this new term: “omega male.” What is the definition of an omega male (compared to the alpha male or beta male)?
How do you define an omega male by male traits? Is being an omega male a good thing or a bad thing?
We’re breaking it down.
Omega Male Definition
According to sources including Urban Dictionary, Reddit, Buzzfeed, and obscure internet forums:
An omega male is like the opposite of an alpha male, albeit equally cool and confident.
Whereas an alpha male is extroverted and the “leader of the pack,” the omega male is more introverted and isn’t afraid of doing his own thing and making up his own rules in life.
Omega Male vs. Alpha Male vs. Beta Male
Some people think being an omega male is a good thing, and others think it’s a bad thing.
A lot of people think the omega male is better than the alpha male, because the omega male doesn’t need a crowd to feel good about himself and is more free-thinking.
Others claim that some guys just call themselves an omega male as an excuse for being a loner or not “making something of himself.” The idea behind their criticism is that an omega male is actually just a failed alpha male.
Here’s all the different kinds of males according to a user on IGN.
alpha: you are confident and your own man. you do your own thing and have complete confidence in everything you do. you have your self doubts, but you don’t let it cloud your judgment and logic. you are well liked by almost everyone, and you just have an easy charm and swagger about your presence. women are drawn to your charisma and presence. you enjoy being social and having lots of people around. you are a natural leader
beta: you are kind of shy and introverted and not very confident in yourself. you are constantly plagued by insecurities and self-doubts and you can never commit to anything in the fear that you will fail in it. you are somewhat liked by people but they tend to look at you rather condescendingly and woman tend to friendzone you. you are nervous around other people and social situations because you’re always afraid that people are judging you. you are a born follower
omega: you are the polar opposite of the alpha male, but in a good way. like the alpha male you are confident, intelligent and have a sense of charisma about you, but unlike the alpha male, you are completely your own person. you do not need anyone, and you can even be emotionally distant due to your complete self-possession. you trust few people and foster even fewer intimate relationships. omegas do not care for leadership by others as they are perfectly capable of leading themselves
gamma male: you are sort of the “invisible” guy. there is nothing really spectacular about you. you are not a beta, but neither are you an alpha. your personality and presence usually blends in with the rest of the room and you’re just sort of…there. people like you just fine and you usually don’t have too much trouble with girls, but all the same, there is nothing particularly memorable or remarkable about you. you are not a born leader nor a inherent follower, although you can take on those tasks depending on the situation
sigma male: you are a manipulative mastermind. you are a spider waiting to lay your trap. you possess a cunning, intuitive mind and can sway people to your will. you don’t have the casual swagger of the alpha or the omega but you do have a clever presence about you and people tend to be both wary and respect you for that. you can often be even more powerful than the alpha or the omega male in social situations due to your ability to persuade and manipulate them. you are neither a follower or a leader but rather a wild card
