之前Will写过一篇文章介绍alpha male，但是最近不少读者似乎对omega male这个表达也很感兴趣，因此为大家做个分享。
Omega，是希腊字母表中的第24个字母，处于最末位。Omega male，也是一种男性类型，他们与alpha male呈现出截然不同的特质（traits）。我非常喜欢UrbanDictionary上对Omega male的这段英文解释：A confident and capable male that doesn’t seek approval or abide by social hierarchy. He sets his own goals, and defines his own success.（[Omega male指]一个自信、有能力的男性，他不寻求大众的认同，或是忍受社会阶层的约束。他为自我设定目标，对于成功，有着自己的定义。）从这段话看出，Omega极为特立独行，其我行我素的风格绝对亮眼。
(Omega, uppercase & lowercase letter)
ThePopularMan指出：”The omega man is on the fringes of the community or tribe, and regarded as odd, weird, and a loner.”（Omega man游离于团体或社群的边缘，被视为：突兀、怪异、独行侠。）Omega们尽管不合群，但他们却身手不凡。因为极具才华，所以自视甚高的他们不屑与平常人为伍，也是可以理解的。
下面这段话对Omega male更是不乏溢美之词：”Omega men are generally loners in the truest sense, they can’t count on anyone so they don’t. This is attractive to women who find them; I say find because Omega men don’t exactly advertise themselves.”（Omega男往往是真正意义上的独行者，世上太多不靠谱的人，因此他们只信赖自己。这一点对于独具慧眼的女人而言，尤为有吸引力。我之所以说“独具慧眼”，是因为Omega们绝少自我标榜。）
最后，引用一段关于Alpha, Beta, Omega三种类型的男人在同一场合下的不同表现，人物个性瞬间跃然纸上：”Aaron Alpha wants his software team to use the Agile method to write their new program, and goes on and on about it in every meeting. Bob Beta doesn’t want to rock the boat with Aaron, so he starts learning how Agile works. Owen the Omega Male writes the program during the meetings while everyone else is talking.”
