Beta Male Characteristics
Prototypical Nice Guy
“Nice guys finish last” is an unfortunate, but many times accurate, phrase. It’s not that nice guys are a bad thing. It’s just that, lacking the drive and aggression to “win” most nice guys end up out of the winner’s circle.
Beta males are the prototypical nice guy: passive, non-assertive, follower, etc. They might be content with this role in some ways. However, never being at the top at work, in sports, and with women, can be frustrating.
But, that nice guy image doesn’t always hold because sometimes the passivity can turn to anger and passive-aggressiveness. Not that you can blame a beta male. It’s frustrating to be one.
Doesn’t Understand the Dating Game
Beta males are usually not the guys getting a bunch of women. One of the biggest beta male characteristics we see is complete frustration when it comes to getting into a relationship.
Beta males usually don’t understand the rules of the game. They overly compliment women, befriend them in the hopes of “more,” attempt to buy their love, etc. Then, they typically whine that women “only want jerks.”
What betas don’t realize is that women like guys with an edge (especially younger girls). So, these boring, nice guy followers don’t usually push female attraction buttons.
Needy
Finally, the last beta male trait is being needy. Since beta males receive less attention from women and other men, they can often be desperate for attention. They can become very attached to the idea of having a girlfriend and especially their actual girlfriends.
So, they become super needy and attached, sometimes even to the point of becoming controlling and paranoid. Naturally, this behavior is very unattractive and often leads guys to lose the very women they desire.
This neediness can manifest itself in the form of extreme crushes and “oneitis” where a guy creepily latches onto a particular woman who might not even like him back.
So, this article should give you a good idea of the most common beta male traits and characteristics. If these traits describe you, then there is hope. Our products and blog are dedicated to helping you become a confident, strong alpha male.
