He's 28 years old, never lost his V-card, spends all his money on gadgets and videogames, refuses to go to bars, and basically only has contact with women though the internet or work (when he has a job). Despite all that he's actually really skinny instead of what people would usually think, that someone living like that must be a fat-ass.
TOTALLY SOUNDS LIKE ME, EVEN ON THE REALLY SKINNY PART!!! 8DDD ...Though i have a beer gut, which i refer to as a sexy muffin top u3u lol
That, and i go to bars ALL THE TIME, and overall parties and fun social stuff with my friends (i HATE those disco places though, and i prefer it much more to be with 4-5 friends drinking at some house or some nice and calm place), and while i might not talk to girls everyday i do hang out with several of them, and perhaps i can even be a bit flirtatious at points (mostly in big parties), but my V-card remains intact. Who knows if it'll stay that way until i'm 28, but i'm about to reach 23 so i'm not that far behind D: lol
Anyways, i don't think it's accurate to refer to people under such "hierarchy", in fact, it's only as accurate as any other stereotypes, such like that geeky guys would rather stay home playing some online game than go outside and be social. And sure, "geeky" guys might prefer a night of gaming than a night of partying, but that doesn't mean they can't be social, or that they NEVER go outside or do anything else other than their gaming or "geeky" stuff; just me, for example, i LOVE videogames and i've spent more gaming hours in 20 years than most people do in an entire lifetime, but i party ALOT and love going outside with my friends. In this "hierarchy" thing, just because a guy loves dating and hooking up doesn't mean they can't be emotionally attached to someone, or just because a guy is never into dating or relationship doesn't mean they can't hook up and have lots of sex. And, using myself as an example, just because i'm still a virgin, i play videogames for extreme amounts of time, and i want to spend all my money on my Yugioh decks, doesn't mean i can't put all my effort into relationships and really dedicate myself to someone so much. I had a relationship that lasted 4 years and i really dedicated myself alot to it, and when that relationship ended it really hurted me and i was depressed for a long time...so under your definition, i'd be Beta. But my lifestyle, the things i love doing, and the fact that i'm not interested in relationships at the moment, would fall under the definition of Omega. In my opinion though, i'm neither of them, as they're just "stereotypes" that can't entirely describe a person...i'm just me, with some Beta and Omega aspects maybe, and perhaps even few Alpha ones.

Personally, I can't really think of one - as women are, regardless of their status, less likely to go unmated through life unless they choose to (although there are a few exceptions.) Or maybe a lot go unmated! But how often does one run across a woman who admits to having no or never having had a boyfriend?
Well, i honestly don't think i've seen a conversation about Alpha/Beta regarding women :P If you ask me, i think such definiton could probably go like this:
Alpha: Girls who party alot, drink alot, and just can't possibly live with the idea of not having a boyfriend. And they're practically never single, since there's always at least 10 guys behind her ready to "comfort" her the second she starts crying about being alone.
Beta: Girls who enjoy having fun with random hobbies, such like drawing, reading or gaming, have several friends and love to be with them, but it might be hard to get them interested in a relationship and can turn down ALOT of guys. However, if they meet the right guy, they can commit themselves for life and are among the most intelligent and stable partners to have.
Omega: Girls who dedicate themselves in extreme ways to their jobs and hobbies and have no interest in relationships, perhaps even to the point to say they hate all guys and will never trust them. They also tend to be...well, not exactly sexually appealing, and instead of accepting it or doing something about it just cause them to hate life and people even more, so guys hardly ever approach them and those who do are immediatly pushed away.
But of course, once again these are all stereotypes and not exactly accurate for any person...there are girls with extreme dedications to their careers but also love to party and get laid alot, girls who hate to party and being social but are extremely dependent and can't live without a boyfriend, and girls who love to party but absolutely hate the idea of relationships and sex.
As of your other comment...yeah, i don't think i know any girl who could honestly admit they've never been in any relationship, but i know ALOT of girls who are single right now, and ALOT of girls who are still virgin, despite being at an age between 21-27 years old, and they're definetly more than the amount of virgin guys i know (hell, most "otaku" guys i know are MARRIED D8 lol). They're usually very dedicated to their career, don't have interest in relationships, hardly to go parties, it's rare for them to trust in anyone, or aren't exactly attractive and prefer to do other things than work hard to get into a relationship. There's also some that claim to be asexual, and their actions and behavior honestly proves it well. And there's a few of them who, if they ever have sex, it'll only be while wearing a strap-on while demanding the guy to bend over D: And most of them are also my best friends and the girls i tend to hang out with the most XD lol
And of course, there's the lesbians too, as well as gay guys, but they can entirely contradict everything that has been said in this conversation, and perhaps would need their own defintion of alpha/beta/omega.
