The Zeta Male Basic Principle
Part 7 of the 8 part Socio-Sexual Hierarchy series.
Zeta males are considered to be the worst of the worst for they do not contribute anything of value to society. These are the abject losers who lost the genetic lottery and could not figure out how to adapt. They have almost removed themselves from the hierarchy but not by their own choice. No one wants to be near a Zeta and possibly catch whatever is inflicting them.
Avoiding attention allows them to avoid conflict, but this makes it nearly impossible for them to make friends or find partners. Disappearing into a game and living an alternate life that you can always turn off or walk away from makes much more sense to a Zeta. Rarely can they turn their success in the game into success in the real world. The defining characteristic of a Zeta is that they aren’t successful.
Parents support their Zeta child typically well beyond their school years, and Zeta orphans are likely to be supported by the state. Very little is gained from supporting a Zeta other than maybe the reminder of how good your life is in comparison. The treatment for their condition should include encouraging Zetas to become Deltas or maybe possibly Betas to keep the population as small as possible, but there will never be none.
Any non-retired man who does not work or help raise a family is a Zeta. Most are hidden away, staying in their bedrooms or living rooms unless you see them in the news reports after having a public meltdown. There is a vibe most people can pick up which allows them to recognize and avoid Zetas.
Zetas are a mystery to everyone else but a sad and tragic one. Because they avoid conflict they never learn how to interact with other men. Overcoming struggle creates character but the only time they may do that is within a game world.
Indifferent best describes how friendly a Zeta could be towards people outside of his family. Terrified best describes a Zeta around women outside of his family. This is assuming his family is not abusive in which case means he may be afraid of everybody. Zetas do not plan for social interactions and are likely to panic when one occurs.
Nothing is more important to a Zeta male than maintaining homeostasis at all times throughout his life. Apathetic towards their rank in the hierarchy or standing in the game of life they will rarely have a prosperous career. Marriage is another rarity unless they find a Zeta Female to be miserable together. Zetas can be creative but they lack the ambition or desire to cultivate it into a career.
Zetas will not have many friends but those he does have are likely to be other Zetas or maybe perhaps pity friends from other ranks. His most important friends will be those he plays games with or enjoys whatever weird hobby they share. It is difficult for a Zeta to make friends mostly because they fear rejection despite living with it everyday.
Intelligent up to a point where their decisions keep themselves unambitious and lacking confidence. By choosing to be introverts and indifferent they limit themselves by appearing uncaring or aloof. They are rarely a part of a team and you would barely notice them if they were.
Taking a woman to McDonald’s on the first date is a Zeta’s idea of romance. There is also a good chance he or she works at that restaurant. Soon after that, it is only eating his mom’s sandwiches and casseroles.
The movie, “The 40 Year Old Virgin”, may as well have been based on a true story of a Zeta. Only the ending misrepresented how a Zeta typically deals with resistance. Running away is a Zeta’s likely flight or fight response to everything including when a woman takes an interest in him.
Take a Gamma and remove all of his confidence and self-esteem and you basically end up with a Zeta. They can only go up the hierarchy from this point but they’re too afraid to try. It may be possible to limit the number of Zetas in society, but there will always be winners and losers.
