And a lot of the people they call 'beta males' are probably having a more active sex life than they are. I'm as unmanly as you get- I don't like sports, I'm not into action movies or guns or knives or anything related to those things, people being loud and raucous make me highly anxious, I'm into all sorts of esoteric stuff when it comes to music and TV and film, I love nerd discussions and I cry when I'm sad. I may possibly even "cry liberal tears" in their worldview.

And yet I've also been happily married for over 24 years.

So I guess I'm cool with being a beta male.

Edit: I forgot to add that I don't like beer in my list of 'ways I'm a beta male.'

that I don't like beer

I was cool with everything up until this. This is where we part ways, Squid. Good day, sir! 😆

I respect that.

At least you're not one of the ones who start listing types of beers that I will definitely like if I tried them without them understanding like this is saying "you just haven't had the right kind of zucchini bread" even though my problem with zucchini bread is that you can't make it without it having some sort of base zucchini taste.

I also hate bananas.
