A man who is content with nontraditional gender roles; i.e., he is not threatened by intelligent and/or powerful women, and he does not have to be in control of every situation to maintain his sense of self. (Frequently, he does manifest a quiet kind of confidence and control over his surroundings, but it's not important to him that this is noticed by others.)
A beta male is often introverted, intelligent, and introspective. Though he may have been branded a "nerd" growing up, the adult beta is frequently a thoughtful, capable, and fascinating individual whom many women find appealing.
Alpha males, especially those of lesser intelligence and abilities, tend to feel threatened by beta males, who are increasingly preferred by women in modern times.

Bay-tuh may-ul: An XY chromosome hominid without dominant gender expressions. Generally shorter, smaller, and less imposing than their larger, and more aggressive, Alpha counterparts. Often found in occupations and roles that require no spine or testicular fortitude. A liberal male. Sometimes camouflaged with alpha clothing or verbal expressions but lacking in true male behavior (sometimes confused with a lesbian or an XX feminist). An urbanite or hipster-Democrat.

A man who is obsessed with trying to convince everyone around him that he is an alpha male. Beta males are the most violent and aggressive of all men. Prisons are filled with beta males. A true alpha male never needs to convince anyone, doesn't care if he is one, and might not even know it. The genuine admiration and respect that a man receives from other men, due to his good character, intelligence, and leadership, is what makes an alpha male. Beta males will never attain alpha status by demeaning other men. Women who are attracted to beta males share the same poor character and low self esteem.
beta male: "do you want me to go beat up that creepy guy that keeps trying to talk to you?"
woman: "sure"
woman: "sure"

A bullshit subclass of men invented by so-called "alpha males" to classify anybody who's not spending 99.9% of their waking hours working out and practicing pick-up lines that they will later use on unsuspecting women. A beta male is someone who "sucks up to females" , known in the real-world as "RESPECTING women and their rights" and if in a couple are cock-blocking "better men" (read: I have abs and backnea ARGH!) .
In other words , "alpha" males are compensating for their lack of real personality by making up the notion that they are on top of men who are perfectly good people but are not paragons of male beauty.

Bro-dude : "Why is that bitch with this beta male? He's flabby and pale! I could totally be a better man! I'm ALPHA!"

A totally typical male. Most definitions here are wrong: betas aren't particularly sensitive or even meek, they just are much more follower than leader.
Plenty of insecure, pushy, loud guys are betas: most frat boys (especially the toady), most Ivy Leaguers, most football players, most Tea Partiers, most suburbanites, most rednecks, etc. Since they 1) don't have followers they aren't alphas and 2) don't have much of a mind of their own aren't gammas.

Steve thought being pushy and obnoxious made him seem like an alpha male. He couldn't be more wrong. Since no one gives a shit what he thinks and he's always following what Glenn Beck says, he's pretty clearly just an another beta male

An extremely weak male with no confidence and relays on a more superior black female to make discussions for him. Try's to act as a fatherly figure but is just embarrassing. Commonly referred to as Quaver

Your stereotypical insecure pushy loud bro. They are usually trying to pass themselves off as Macho. They are the ones who overcompensate for a small penis. Frat boys, gym broscience douche, douchey jocks, rednecks, gangstas, military douches are betas. Guys who undermine other men to their GF. Followers who don't know who they are and follow the pack. They pound their chest as if they're masculine or Alpha. Use pick-up artist tactics to get insecure girls to fall in love with them. The kings of quickies and 2 minutes of selfish sex. They never gave their GF an orgasm and don't like giving head but expect to get head.
