      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 dont 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.

        Omega male in social terms is an outsider yet notable for distinction, someone worthy who does not conform to the existing peer hierarchy. It has been said that an Omega is someone of zero worth, as ethologist use Alpha, Beta and Omega in pack descriptions with omega being the lowest position. This has little to do with the socially developed human hierarchy originally used by sorority sisters in the united states to easily label males according to a set of hegemonically established criteria. For example if someone is described as the Last word in men, that would hardly be a pejorative description. To use Omega as a negative term is to fail to recognize that losers did not exist in relation to the thought process of the college/university girls who popularized this system, and as such get no mention at all. They only mention people who are socially significant in some positive way as to merit their attention.
        Omega is a logical choice, when faced with the problem of describing people who are clearly not subservient to an alpha yet cannot be described as an alpha themselves, There is no set criteria for an Omega, the sole common trait is one of being a rogue social wander who avoids binding attachments generally rejects social hierarchy treating everyone equally based on personal judgment, and refuses to be drawn into tribalistic feuds between groups of people

          A confident and capable male that doesnt seek approval or abide by social hierarchy. He sets his own goals, and defines his own success.

                  omega is the last letter of the greek alphabet. alpha is the first letter. an omega male then is the last man. in essence, if you were to rank all the men in the world by their virtues (bravery, intelligence, leadership, generosity, etc.), an omega male altogether would be the worst, hence last, of all men. none of these other definitions listed on here have much relation to the actual meaning of omega male - both as its been used historically and as its used currently, particularly the ones that list it as a positive quality and who dont seem to understand the significance of omega. additionally, the word omega male usually refers to a category, rather than a single individual, of last men.
                  if someone says youre an omega male, theyre literally saying that not just that every man on earth, save other similarly repugnant omega males, is better (i.e., more generous, braver, etc.) than you, but also, given being last, that you dont really have these basic virtues at all. its an insult, not a compliment.
                  contrast with: alpha male: (the first letter of the greek alphabet, hence first man.) effectively, an alpha male is first among men, the best of all men.
                  the alpha/omega rankings can be used with women as well and are, albeit less frequently.
