    Well it's the opposite of Alpha Male

    No, that's an Omega Male.

    I'm pretty sure the Omega Man is really really Alpha. Seeing as he's played by Charlton Heston.

    You are right.

    An Omega Male is the true victor but he is very clever and would never reveal himself as such.

    Unlike the Alpha who draws so much attention to himself with his infernal chest beating that he eventually is challenged and slain.

    Alphas generally do not need to chest beat. What you are describing is a Beta pretending to be an Alpha.

    noooo.....

    omega male

    The polar opposite of the Alpha Male. Omega Males can have friends and close acquaintances but prefer to accomplish things on their own without the help of a group. Omega Males generally don't belong to any cliques and have no desire to be the leader or most outstanding of said clique. Omega Males have relations with people from all groups and carry a resourcefulness and cunning (sometimes strength) to get a job done with their own skill. This being said, an omega male can have great pride without it manifesting as "ego." (There are always exceptions.

    An Alpha Male MUST absolutely be perceived by his peers as the toughest, most popular, and smartest. An Omega Male cares little for this recognition...but knows that he is all those things and more.

    Alpha males must have the support of his "boys." This can be the foundation for many shallow and superficial relationships. An Omega Male needs support from time to time, but has few true friends who know him intimately and generally shuns shallow acquaintences.

    Two sides of the same coin....both being very effective in accomplishing goals.
    In Animals:

    Two Rams are butting heads while the female watches. The winner who mates is the stongest and therefore the Alpha Male.

    Wait...A third ram runs out of the woods and mates with the female while the two males are fighting. THAT is the omega male.

    Most people aren't one stereotyped personality 100% of the time.

    I think there is quite a lot of misunderstanding about what a "beta male" is on this thread - Alphas do not usually compete, it is the betas, who are one postion from the top who are always fighting, vying for that position. In human terms, Beta males are those aggressive little ****s that start a fight with you for "looking at them funny" or "eying their woman" or "spilling their pint". General agressiveness is part and parcel of being beta - they reckon that the most stressful positions in a group of apes are beta male and the one second from bottom (no idea what you'd call that one).

    I has watched programmes on anthropology, I iz expert.

    While this is all fascinating I think that defining behavior is easy. Unfortunately we are not a single action or even a series of actions.
    We are a combination of experience, habits and preferences. You may be submissive at work but dominant in your personal life or the complete opposite.
    You could be dominant in a family setting but submissive in an intimate setting while you could be neither in a professional setting. We are all very diverse and complicated people.
    My advice - forget about labels and just figure out what you like and look for people/jobs/friends/hobbies that compliment your preferences.

    Well I guess I learned something today...never heard the term Omega Male before, but based on the Urban Dictionary definition I guess I fit the profile.

    I prefer to do things on my own, and take pride in my own accomplishments without the praise or recognition of others. I didn't belong to groups, clubs, or cliques in school. I have no interest in proving my worth to others, no desire to be the Alpha Male.
