Ι'd јuѕt lіkе tο іntеrјесt fοr а mοmеnt. Wһаt уοu'rе rеfеrrіng tο аѕ beta male, іѕ іn fасt, omega male, οr аѕ Ι'vе rесеntlу tаkеn tο саllіng іt, ω-male. A beta animal is an animal that is second-in-command to the reigning alpha and will act as a new alpha animal if the old alpha dies. In some species of birds, the males pair up in twos when courting, the beta male aiding the alpha male. The beta male does not generally get to mate with the female birds, but if the alpha dies, he takes over the alpha's females, becoming the new alpha. Omega (usually rendered ω-male) is an antonym used to refer to the lowest caste of the hierarchical society. An omega is subordinated to all others in the community. The omega is commonly the last allowed to eat.
Many people behave like omega males every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the way most males behave today is widely referred to as beta males, and many of the omega males are not aware that they're actually omega males.
There really are beta males, and they do interact in society, but it is just a part of the total social system. Alpha males are on top, beta males are directly under them and at the bottom you have omega males. The omega males are an essential part of the system, but they're completely useless without an alpha male leading them.
