Beta Male Traits (10 Characteristics)

10 beta male traits that you might show. I know that nowadays beta males don’t get much attention because it’s just not really a thing that people talk about. Everybody talks about how to be an alpha male or what characteristics makes up an alpha male. But sometimes you just need to take a step back and try to understand yourself first and see if there are any characteristics or traits that makes you a beta male. Then from there on, you can choose to correct that or not. It’s not always a bad thing to be a beta male. Some people are fine with it. Sometimes it’s just good to know and learn a thing or two and to get a better understanding of yourself. That’s what I try to do on this channel. I don’t do videos to offend people, but instead hope people can watch it and reflect on what their current life is like and perhaps find a few things to improve it and I do sometimes make random cringy jokes. I know it’s horrible. Anyway, with that being said, here are 10 beta male traits. (might be too much for a beta male to handle) (extreme cases)

There is nothing alpha about knowing the latest fashion it's beta if you ask me. What is alpha is owning who you are unapologetically.

[mattbrown]

Sorry buddy ol buttcrust but you got it wrong on the introversion, just because someone might be loud and extroverted doesn’t mean that they are alpha. I’m an introvert and I lead any setting dogg

[calvinblack]

Some of these things I kinda disagree with. You can be an alpha and just not care for all confrontations because you're smart enough to know it's not worth it always. And you can be confident in what you wear and comfortable with your selection as an alpha, even if it hasn't changed.

[leethacksawninja]

That's some tricky psychology right there... Hitting the dislike button makes you a beta male lol.

My most beta moment was my first job out of college. I could see that the other guys who started at the same time as me were passing their work off to me and I gladly accepted it and had to work late even though I was on a fixed salary with no overtime. I was working the hardest in my office but I couldn't understand why our supervisor was so chummy with them carrying them out for drinks and never invited me. I thought it was a straight guy thing I I probably wouldn't fit in the boys club as a gay guy. I was always very polite but quiet. I'd never ask for recognition or any kind of gratitude because I thought I was just paying my dues and they'd come around eventually. The work kept piling up more and more and I lived 2 hrs away from my job to the point where I was overnighting at work.
My supervisor saw that I was staying late after everyone went home despite working all day and he never once asked why. I found out from a female coworker in another department that she's heard I was the laughing stock of my office. I thought it was because I was gay but I towards the end of my tenure I confronted my supervisor about it. Some of the guys in my lab had gotten recommended for promotion but I wasn't. My supervisor just said that from the first time he heard that I was staying late to finish other people's work, he decided that I didn't want respect- I wanted work and that's what he gave me and that he's never recommend me for a promotion if I'd allow myself to be treated like that. Also he said that since I barely spoke to anyone in the office, he didn't know much about me or how I interact with others.
It felt like I waited 2 years only to find out that I was doing all of that for nothing. It still bothers me.

Being an introvert by itself puts you immediately in the category of beta male? Illuminate me more, master.

Number 9. I think Its an alpha/sigma male trait, because people who uses clothes they like and feel comfortable with are not betas, they don't care what the other would think about their clothing style.

[clintzuleger]

At 6:09. Isn't jumping on fashion trends just to stay current kinda beta? Just wondering. 😏🤔

[gibransaliba]

I have some alpha male traits. Unfortunately I do have some beta male traits. But I am trying to work on myself as I think every man should be an alpha

[isaacdiaz]

The only thing i have to disagree is the clothes, have you seen the clothes people use now at days?!
Id rather go for a business casual style or my Northeastern Mexican style. Not all latest factions are alpha styles

[sonnywhittington]

I apply to everything except to #1, #7, & #8.
However I’ve no interest in changing myself. Life is about owning who you are

[giraffeman]

I’m many of these things. Most of them from lack of confidence, but to call myself a beta male would be inaccurate. Not because I reject what people say about me, but because I am a risk taker and I enjoy the nature of change. It’s why I applied for the armed forces.

"Hitting the dislike button on this video" Smooth way to try to get the least amount of dislikes you can get

[joebeta]

I am truly a beta male and love it! I love peace, quiet, and relaxation. Beta male and proud!!

[brigetteuili]

I like that you listed passive aggressive behavior as a beta trait. There's a guy I know who behaves like that all the time online but in person he's so different. Anyway betas who are nice are great, passive aggressive ones are the worst. They really try to push buttons and when you confront them they turn into worms.

10. As a man who considers him self very attractive, athletic, (NCAA 2 sport athlete) intelligent, (fluent in spanish, limited Russian) I also play 5 instruments and can sing. Can cook, can clean, pay my own bills. The only thing i cant seem to do is find a woman who can impress me enough to stop thinking i can find or think of someone better. So i end up looking the other way every opportunity i get with a woman whos into me. I dont want to lead them on and use them... besides nobody likes used goods. I want mine factory issued. No baggage, no mileage.

[nateoxchoa]

#9 is probably more beta than anything, flaunting “the latest fashion” to give a false impression that you’re cool lol

[DaBurntToaster]

I only align with maybe 20-30% of these traits, possibly less depending on the reasoning behind the traits. but I have in the past felt more aligned with these traits.
I think the main difference is im not a pussy, im logical.
so for the beta males out there, heres some advice from someone who can understand your perspective / position
this is not advice on becoming an "alpha" its advice on not being a beta and neutralizing the negative traits associated with betas.

1) reliance on others to make decisions.
I dont rely on anyone else to make decisions, I take factual information from the outside, be it from others I know or further research to determine the truth. I make my own decisions.
relying on someone else is incredibly lazy and irresponsible and is very likely to result in the wrong decision being made, someone else CAN NOT have all the information on a subject pertaining to you so you cant rely on them to make decisions for you when then dont have all the information.


2) overly nice
holding the door or helping and elder across the street are 2 generic safe choices to represent the "safe" level of kindness, the lightbulb is obviously unreasonable(if you feel forced in that situation, you need to understand why and correct yourself), but something like the "accepting extra tasks" example is very context reliant. Ive accepted extra work from co-workers before, thing is, I didnt inconvenience myself by doing so as I had nothing else to do, whilst they did. from the third party perspective, them leaving earlier was more of a boon for them than me staying late was a problem for me. this can also earn you favors and reputation at work which can help you move up the corporate ladder.
point is, being "overly nice" is very context reliant, you need to judge whether or not its objectively reasonable to put the effort into it and not base your decisions on fear or any other internal or external sources of manipulation.


3) physical weakness is only a beta male trait from the perspective of someone whos trying to score the 10/10 hot chick. in reality, society doesnt give a fuck about how strong you are, in the modern day your intelligence is far more valuable. and this applies to relationships as well, being physically fit will help open the door to a women but your mind is what makes them stay.


4) avoiding confrontations and conflicts.
if your avoiding these because your a coward, then its a beta trait and you need to work on your self confidence, not necessarily in your image of physical self as most conflicts are intellectual conflicts that may result in violence, but rather you should shift your perspective to value being correct over not being offended / uncomfortable. negative emotions are a part of being human, its a form of mental energy that you need to redirect into fixing the problem, not running away from it.
and always remember, being correct is the most important thing, but you dont have to be correct right now, so long as you learn from the confrontation so you can be correct next time. its self improvement. and dont be afraid of being wrong next time either, you never know if your right, you can only ever know if your wrong, so accept it happily because now you have more information, and thats a good thing.


5) introverts / being led not leading
those are 2 separate things. no one leads me, no one makes my decisions, and no outside opinions have any effect on my own. that being said, i am incredibly introverted, i hardly interact with anyone outside of work hours, I find social interactions to be mentally fatiguing do to the mass of retards running around everywhere. if your an introvert its a good idea to question why your introverted as its a significant personality trait and you will likely learn a lot about yourself, but it doesnt mean your a beta as you can be an introverted alpha as well. (its just not as common)
being led rather than leading is a problem though, and to that point ill leave you with my favorite quote.


-Socrates
"Everyone tells you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs. "

-Dan
And let me guess. You want me to believe yours.

-Socrates
No. I want you to stop gathering information from outside yourself and start gathering it from the inside.


the best leaders make the best followers, in order to be a great follower you must be willing to call out when your leader is wrong, they depend on you to help them improve. if all you do is accept what others tell you then its questionable whether or not your even a real human, your more of a robot, do you want to be a robot? beep boop?


6) passive aggressiveness
you probably dont know if your passive aggressive, but the root cause to the immediate action of being passive aggressive is your anger toward another. this anger is likely derived from your feeling(s) of being offended by the other person. everyone gets offended, its not your fault, its theirs for being a douche, but your actions are your responsibility and passive aggressiveness is just a petty form of revenge. if you have a problem with something someone did learn to confront them, you dont have to be a dick about it its not hard to neutrally confront someone and in fact it often leads to the best results, negative confrontations can lead to the other person lying about what happened or getting their own revenge against you. a neutral confrontation is the most likely action to result in the truth being disclosed and the problem being resolved.
if when you are offended to any degree, you do not drop it or resolve it, it is either bottled up to explode later, or releases its self through passive aggressiveness, so there are 4 choices to pick from
drop it | resolve it | bottle it | let it seep out.
if you do not use the first 3 (though the first 2 are the only recommended ones) then you are in all likelihood being passive aggressive, stop.


7) pessimism
both pessimism and optimism are both foolish outlooks on life, a pessimist falls into self fulfilling prophecies, whilst the optimist inevitably gets crushed by the fact that life isnt fair.
in truth you must find balance, if you only see the negative or the positive your blinding yourself to reality, though you can not simply change your outlook on life by knowing its wrong and wanting a different outlook, you need to accept whole-hardheartedly that you are wrong and make an active effort to readjust. the optimal balance in my personal opinion is neutral with a slight optimistic skew, true neutrality doesnt encourage you, so you need some optimism, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and you dont want to end up trusting a deceitful person and getting fucked over by them because you gave them too much leeway from your optimism.
the current situation does NOT have a positive outlook, and you on your own do NOT make a difference on a macro scale. (neutral outlook)
but the future isnt here yet and theres always a chance to turn things around, and though you dont make shit for a difference on your own, your communities do, and you can effect those communities, and those effected by you can effect the other communities they are a part of. every penny counts, you just need to get more people to start collecting pennies. (positive skew)


8) not taking risks.
risks are a part of life, but avoiding risks is a part of pessimism. you cant look at something as just a risk, you have to look at it as risk vs reward. for example when it comes to dating if you only see the risk, then you only see the risk of rejection by asking a girl out (negative outlook)
but if she never talks to you again what have you really lost? (positive skew)
in truth, in this scenario the risk is minimal compared to the potential reward, you need to look at the situation from multiple angles, determine how much value you place in the reward and how much is reasonable to pay for the chance to obtain it. money and emotions come and go so you shouldn't value them as much as what you can gain from risking them.
you have many years ahead in your life, a few wrong turns here and there wont take it all away. in fact, it will give you a greater appreciation for what you have.


9) poor sense of fashion
honestly this only applies to someone who wants sex with a hot chick, its not specific to beta males. so long as your not wearing unwashed clothes that are 10 years old and covered in holes then anyone who refuses to interact with you because you wear generic as fuck clothes is a shallow ass little bitch who should learn to value the person not their appearance, just like how we should value people for who they are, not their skin color.
that being said, if you want the 10/10 hot girl, well, shes probably pretty shallow, so you'll have to play her game.


10) poor dating skills
this is a trait that belongs to a group of people that INCLUDES beta males, people who dont understand social interactions. this generally includes introverts, pessimists and people with a poor fashion sense as well but branches out much further than that. its caused by simply not trying to learn. whether you learn by trying first or being told / reading up on it and then trying, in the end you have to get off your ass and make the attempt. just recognize the kind of person who would be willing to be with you. dont set unreasonable expectations, if your not willing to work toward being a 10/10 guy, your not getting a 10/10 girl. but maybe looks arent the most important thing to you though, maybe you dont want a shallow sex based relationship, so you should learn what kind of person would provide what you want, and how to make sure thats who they are.

I disagree with number 4.

I’m autistic and I don’t like engaging in conflict pretty much, unless the conflict is inappropriately and unreasonably brought to me. But as a Christian, I can be assertive about sharing the teachings of the Gospel that advise against giving in to the temptations and ideals of the flesh

Again, how can people with moderate autism apply these things to their everyday life? This only compromises their dignity

“But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.” - Titus 3:9 KJV

Also James 4:4 warns about being adulterous with the world

You lost me at ''being introverts''!!!
