WHEN BETA MALES

& SIGMA MALES COMPETE...

Beta Males

benefit from alliances to win.

Sigma Males

struggle with that.

That's because

BETA MALES

are not always the best

in any given

area of competition.

But where they may

lack in skill or grit,

they make up for with

an uncanny ability to stay

in proximity to leadership.

BETA MALES

know how to play the

Male Hierarchy game

better than most others.

If not the leaders themselves,

then BETA MALES

position themselves

as allies to the leadership.

Sigma Males

do almost the exact opposite.

When Sigma Males do

decide to compete,

they are tough opponents.

But often,

Sigma Males

"do their own thing"

& disregard their position

in the Male Hierarchy.

BETA MALES

take advantage of

Sigma Male absense

to position themselves higher

in the Male Hierarchy.

To BETA MALES,

only Alpha Males outrank them.

BETA MALES

& Sigma Males

often have some intense battles.

Neither is willing to concede

position to the other.

It is truly a

coin "toss" outcome

between these two.
