What is an Omega Male?

Ω (Omega) is the last letter of the Greek alphabet (α = Alpha being the first), which is commonly used to represent the outer or ultimate edge of something. I have used it in this context to represent a state of completion or wholeness. 

Why? Because over the last decade a lot of attention has been given to the idea of the 'Alpha' male, the leader of the pack who behaves in particular ways to enhance his status with women and other men. Alpha behaviour works because it mimics a natural state of confidence and self valuing that others find attractive.

But mimicking something isn't the same as being it. 

Real confidence doesn't come from learning to pretend to be a particular way, but from having done the work to really discover who you are. When a man knows and values himself - his gifts, his desires, his ambitions and his life purpose, he no longer needs to pretend.

Men in search of their spirit

Tim Bidstrup joined wellbeing tourism operator Journeys of the Spirit to discover a treasured and extraordinary part of this world: Bhutan

“At that point in my life I was learning about Buddhism. I was starting to gain knowledge about it and it was something that really clicked with me. The thought of going to a Buddhist nation and to see Buddhism in practice for me was a really strong draw card.”

“I rediscovered how much I enjoyed making people laugh, how I still withhold the inquisitive spirit of a child, how I can be carefree, fun and not curve myself for the judgment of other people. But most of all, I learnt that I have a strong ability of being a natural leader.”

A few months after this journey, Tim began working with the ManKind Project. He had a huge desire to share his experiences and what he rediscovered of himself. He was also aware there are many things he still wanted to learn about what it meant to be a man of his generation. 

“The greatest thing of what the ManKind Project does, is it teaches you what it means to be a man. It isn’t all about hugging, crying and being soft in that way because there are reasons why men are men and why they differ from women. There are also things such as integrity, authenticity and accountability. They are part of the big reasons why men feel unhappy because they don’t feel like they’re living in integrity. It is really interesting to see how men react when they are held accountable to grow and blossom and suddenly develop confidence in themselves. So it’s really powerful in that way too.”
