Introduced by Vox Day, this term refers to males who are sociosexual rejects and losers, but who make a constant attempt at impressing others with an inflated sense of their accomplishments, intelligence, sexual potency, etc. Some of the key things that give away Gammas are:
1. Exaggerated or outright fictitious claims about themselves.
2. Claiming they're right about everything/have never lost a debate or argument
3. Needing to "coach," "help," or "give advice" to others without being asked, including those who outstrip the Gamma in terms of competence.
4. Brownnosing women, acting like the intensity with which they pursue a woman will make the woman more likely to sleep with them.
5. Writing meandering walls-of-text in online debates.
6. Laughing or making jokes in inappropriate situations.
7. Getting obviously angry at someone, then denying they are angry, or even posturing as if they're against "hate" itself.
8. Resentment of Alpha Males (e.g. Trump Derangement Syndrome).
9. Having one-sided "conversations." The Gamma has a script he thinks is oh-so-brilliant, and the other person is going to listen whether they want to or not.
It is common for Gammas to be overweight, bald, or otherwise unattractive, but Gamma is a mindset at the end of the day, stemming from a mix of entitlement, yet always running into rejection and failure. These men tend to become bitter in life because they cannot accept there is a problem with them. Everyone else has failed them.

Nathan was just asking like my boss again, telling me how to do my job, when everyone knows he's incompetent, and he hasn't even shown up to work consistently for the last three weeks. Dude's such a Gamma Male.
