The term "beta male" is often used in certain circles as a derogatory term to describe a man who is perceived as weak or passive, particularly in relation to his interactions with women. However, there are a number of alternative terms that can be used to describe men who do not conform to traditional masculine norms or behaviours. These include "soft", "sensitive", "introverted", "compassionate", "nuanced", "gentle", "empathetic" and "intuitive". It is important to remember that no one should be pigeonholed or judged based on the way they express themselves or connect with others, regardless of gender.
