The Sigma

[kanethenotorious]

I categorized it here because the Sigma is a big survivalist. It's all about stepping outside of the hierarchy.

The Sigma Male stands outside of the hierarchy. However, to be neutral on sex, I am just calling it "The Sigma" not "The Sigma Male."

There is a giant hierarchy in the Greek system to categorize men (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Omega etc). To be honest it is all garbage. The only one that matters is Sigma because Sigmas live outside of the entire hierarchy. This concept could easily apply to a Woman as well, but the common term is “Sigma Male.”
Sigmas intentionally go against the grain. They reject hierarchy and stand on their own two feet. Therefore, many political dissidents and self-employed people are Sigma. However, employment does not determine this because being Sigma is a mindset.
Here are the characteristics of a Sigma:

• They tend to be loners
• They are flexible
• They are themselves – regardless of who is watching
• They can lead without exerting authority
• They are good listeners
• They are self-aware
• They have an ambiguous morality
• They have rusty social skills
• They can fit into friend groups but do not rely on them
• They decide their future
• They tend to have small but close social circles
• They are self-sufficient
• They aren’t afraid to take risks
• They aren’t attention-seekers
• They have the potential to be an Alpha

The point is that people who do not follow the crowd are a minority, but why get into a ranking system of people who do follow the crowd? It is pretty pointless, but that may not be the viewpoint of people who like to follow the crowd.
I believe it is Sigmas who form the sort of political dissidents necessary to go against the grain and change society. They lead by example and at first are not seen as leaders. They form the Vanguard."

What is a sigma male?

Answer:

The concept of "sigma male" is a relatively recent addition to the popular discourse surrounding social dynamics and personality types. It's often discussed in the context of the "alpha/beta/omega" hierarchy, which originated from studies of animal behavior and was later applied to human social dynamics.

While the terms "alpha" and "beta" have been widely used to describe dominant and submissive personality types, respectively, particularly in discussions of masculinity, the concept of the sigma male adds another layer to this framework.

A sigma male is typically described as an individual who operates outside of traditional social hierarchies and does not conform to the norms or expectations of alpha or beta behavior. Sigma males are often portrayed as independent, introspective, self-reliant, and non-conformist. They may possess qualities associated with both alpha and beta traits but are not interested in seeking validation or dominance within social structures.

Characteristics commonly attributed to sigma males include:

1. Independence: Sigma males are often portrayed as solitary individuals who prefer to operate on their own terms rather than conforming to group dynamics.
2. Autonomy: They value their independence and freedom, often pursuing their interests and goals without seeking approval or validation from others.
3. Intelligence: Sigma males are often depicted as intelligent and introspective individuals who think critically and question societal norms.
4. Adaptability: They are adaptable and comfortable with change, able to navigate different social environments without feeling the need to conform.
5. Mystery: Sigma males may project an aura of mystery or aloofness, keeping their thoughts and intentions private.

It's important to note that the concept of sigma males is not based on scientific research or widely accepted psychological theory. Instead, it's more of a cultural or internet phenomenon that has gained traction in online discussions of masculinity and social dynamics. As such, interpretations of what constitutes a sigma male may vary widely depending on the source and context.

The ranking system isn’t pointless at all. Organically or in its natural state hierarchy is about mating and breeding. The ranking males win the ranking females and this is good breeding . An asexual sigma male isn’t even in the picture because the individual life is a bit of an illusion as we are lines that proceed into the future from the past. Qualifying this statement by saying unless the sigma male or female is attached to a hierarchy in some unusual sense, like a great war leader or Jesus and similar things, in which case the hierarchy becomes the sigma’s spouse, so to speak

You have to be a real weirdo to actually take these categories like Beta, Sigma, Alpha, Omega, Gamma etc. literally and think that there's any science behind it. I watched videos on the difference between a Sigma and a Omega/Gamma. The Gamma is supposed to be a good listener, while the Omega is supposed to be someone people go to for compassion. Otherwise, all three personality types are introverted, with Gammas being afraid of social interaction but Sigmas not being afraid of it but avoiding it. But I think the science behind this is very bad.

Are terms like sigma, alpha, beta, gamma and delta male legitimate?

Answer:

The terms "sigma," "alpha," "beta," "gamma," and "delta" are often used within certain communities to describe different personality or behavioral archetypes, particularly within discussions about social dynamics and hierarchies among men. However, it's important to note that these terms are largely based on pop psychology and often lack empirical evidence to support their validity.

Here's a brief overview of how these terms are typically used:

1. Alpha male: Often used to describe a dominant, confident, and assertive individual who is perceived as a leader or top-ranking member of a social group.
2. Beta male: Generally used to describe someone who is perceived as subordinate to alpha males, less assertive, and perhaps more passive or submissive.
3. Sigma male: This term is less commonly used and is often described as an outsider or lone wolf type. Sigma males are typically portrayed as independent, non-conformist, and able to operate outside of social hierarchies.
4. Gamma male: Sometimes used to describe individuals who are socially awkward, resentful, or bitter. Gamma males may feel marginalized or excluded from social groups.
5. Delta male: Another less common term, sometimes used to describe individuals who are more average or ordinary in terms of social status or personality.

While these terms may have some cultural currency within certain online communities or subcultures, they are not recognized concepts in mainstream psychology. Moreover, using these terms to categorize or label individuals can oversimplify complex human behavior and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. It's essential to approach discussions about human behavior with nuance and critical thinking, rather than relying on simplistic classifications like these.
