I had a general idea of what a beta is (from biology at school regarding animals),however people in this site use that term meaning different concepts so I would like someone to give a proper description.

Also some guys say this condition is from your birth others from society,some says you can turn from A to B others say you just can fake it.

There isn't one. It means whatever a poster conveniently wants it to mean at the time they use it.

not here. in the real world.
I think the general term is used to describe the dude who is not finding his successes...getting walked on by women...I would say even the word "alpha" can take many different meanings..

Instead of defining beta, what would you say the attributes of an Alpha male are?

Rollo I went to the link you posted and here's one of the qualities of an alpha male.
"What’s with this pack ****? ‘XX’ has some serious issues about betrayal. Was she betrayed by a man she loved? An alpha male vows fealty to one pack: the package in his pants.

Beta males are the ones less likely to betray a “member of the pack”, because they don’t have the stones to do it."

So, I need clarity on something. Is Alphaism = DJism? What do you think of the quote I posted Rollo?

Beta: guys who've slept with fewer and/or uglier women than you.

No. Alpha is a mindset, not a demographic.

Alpha is the mindset, DJism is the application. Alpha is the mindset, assholishness and douchebaggery is the application. Alpha is the mindset, noble, chivalric, leader-of-men is the application. Alpha is the mindset, white collar criminal, or drug-dealing pimp is the application.
