What is a 'beta'?

I'm too embarrassed to ask off anon and google won't give me an answer
Why do people keep using it and what does it mean?!
Usually I can figure these kind of things out but I really can't with this one! Help please!

If you are referring to its use in technology then this should explain it :-)

also when a guy has a head that isn't properly formed at the back and is flat like yours, that is also considered a beta trait by many females.

A Greek letter, a test release of hardware/software(this is spelt beta, but pronounced baytuh) or any one of a few things in physics(β±\beta^{\pm} particle, β\beta decay etc.).

I think people who lack intelligence are also classified as beta male.

looks pretty flat from your profile picture and not rounded like a normal head :s-smilie:
I am not "jelly" of your gains, I'm not a male so I don't care about your "gains"

If your head is 'round' then I'm afraid you're a defect. Or you're fat....?Not sure you understand camera angles either.


So jelly, do you even lift or are you a beat certified male ?
It's an internet term used to describe a male displaying feminine personality traits. Literally nobody with any social skill uses it outside of the internet, though, and the people on the internet that seriously use it to describe others are ironically little bitch-boys themselves, so I wouldn't worry about getting familiarised with the term.

It's the 2nd letter of the Greek Alphabet.



Anyone that uses "beta" in any other sense is a howling creature. @RugbyFierce.

It goes further than that, being civilised, polite, working hard, playing fair, getting married, having a normal job are all beta traits.


Actual Alpha traits generally lead to prison or death.


Alpha = drug use, promiscuity, violence, criminality, drug dealing, impregnating married women.
