When it comes to types of men, alpha or beta males may spring to mind. 

But a new study has revealed three new categories of masculinity that scientists claim all men fit in to.

A team from the University of British Columbia studied 92 straight men from diverse cultural backgrounds and found three types of masculinity.

Neo-traditionalist men largely follow traditional gender roles, while egalitarian men seek a more equal partnership, according to the researchers.

Meanwhile, progressive men have regular conversations with their partner to adjust who does what.
