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 it's been used historically and as it's used currently, particularly the ones that list it as a positive quality and who don't 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 you're an omega male, they're 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 don't really have these basic virtues at all. it's 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.

I can't think of a single positive quality about X - he's a coward, a moron, a sloth, a miser, etc. - he's an omega male.

Omega Male, is basically the servant male of the tribe. These terms, Alpha, Beta and alas Omega were used to designate hierarchy in the Ape community, but later were applied to human hierarchy as well. Omega Male is not necessarily the outside wise man or thinker as some are describing here. It's not that this male can't be wise, its just that he is often as likely to be powerless, maybe even slow as he is smart and internalized and relegated to the bottom rung of the ladder.
While the opposite of Omega is Alpha, this doesn't designate simple physical prowess and might as it does with Apes. Alpha does not crave attention or validation from others, that is normally a Beta trait of attempting to improve his station. Alpha just gets the attention. It can be leadership, smarts, ability to earn and of course physical confidence and might, which shows his potential mates that he can protect, provide and defend his family. See basic human attraction triggers.
Finally, since we are humans and not apes, Alpha/Omega isn't being the toughest man on the block.. Today Alpha is manifested in confidence, success, wit, and yes still some physical prowess. The modern Alpha is the man who is unafraid to speak his mind, unafraid to embrace his masculinity and also unafraid to defend his POV / loved ones / offspring. This is directly opposite to the man who would scurry away in fear at the first sign of confrontation, afraid to speak his opinion, unsure of himself etc.

Alpha-Omega (AO) males are near-mythical. They rank higher in ability/rarity than Alpha or Sigma males combined. Few AO males are known in the history of mankind. In fact, none has been reported in the last century.
The term "Alpha-Omega" reflects his unclassifiable nature by conventional archetypes. The Greek letter term is merely a means for discussion. In other cultures, he has been referred as Zero-Infinity, One-Whole, etc. To make one important note, the AO male is a mortal, NOT supernatural.
To describe the AO male, one could refer to the Buddhist term "Tenjou tenge yuiga dokuson", which states “Above heaven, under heaven, I am alone worthy of honor”. The statement is not a boast, but rather a realization that the universe shares a single nature and are equally empty of self.
The modern 3 criteria of the AO Male are:
1. The AO male is NOT CLASSIFIABLE BY Alpha, Beta, Sigma, etc. He is at times a charismatic leader, a faithful follower, incredibly powerful and simultaneously is utter powerlessness. He does not care whether he leads, obeys, is independent, or is part of a group. He is not bound by laws, morals, emotions, or biological instincts.
2. The INITIAL IDENTIFICATION of the AO male CANNOT BE SELF-IDENTIFICATION. The AO male CAN ONLY BE DISCOVERED.
3. The AO male IS NOT AN ACTIVE INFLUENCER. No modern social-media-influencer can ever be an AO male. The AO male does not ever feel the need or duty to share/connect with others since the universe is the self.

Example: These so-called Alpha males or Sigma males are all mere flies buzzing under the sun. The true Alpha-Omega male has not been seen in the last century.
Example: Q: "How can I become an Alpha-Omega male?" A: "If you wish to become one, you cannot become one."

The polar opposite of an Alpha male. A biological male human who lacks most or all of the traits associated with masculinity and takes pride in that fact. Usually an Omega male is unathletic, effeminate, vegan, regular consumer of soy, a cuck, and all around a useless, entitled prick who adds nothing to society.
Man 1: Zack's girlfriend cheats on him with Chad. He knows this and doesn't confront her!
Man2: Well, what did you expect from an Omega male as him?
Man1: Yeah, I guess they just don't have any sense of self-respect.

A man who rejects the concept of an Alpha Male described by "Alperen Kulci" as:
a man (often young of age)
MOST IMPORTANTLY he will often claim to be an Alpha even if he is clearly a Beta.
he usually (not always) is a male who does not believe in the traditional gender roles of a men, he refuses to do his "manly duties" like earning a good income having real comitment and respecting elders, often this male is a cuck or sissy but does not have to be
HOWEVER
This description is for 85 to 95% of omega males but not all
