Balpha Male

A person who attempts to embody the traditionally assertive, dominant qualities of an "Alpha Male" while still primarily displaying the more reserved, submissive traits of a "Beta Male."

A social role characterized by an unsuccessful or overcompensating attempt to exhibit leadership, dominance or assertiveness typically associated with Alpha Males.

Despite his best attempts, a Balpha Male often reveals his Beta tendencies, leading to amusing or awkward social interactions.
