What is all this "sigma male" stuff I keep hearing about?

[BCRanger10]

I have never heard of that until about two or so weeks ago. Is this about to be another one of those goofy labels like "incel"?

[Grond21]

It's supposed to be alpha men who are voluntarily either isolated or reserved about their own alpha-ness. Keanu Reeves is the classic example.

Ultimately, I think it is an extension of people groping in the dark, trying to rediscover who men are

[Nirmroth]

For me a sigma male is someone who does his thing with confidence and doesn't care for the reaction of others.

[msmissydc]

Its supposed to be the opposite of an incel created by the same people that created incel. Weird manosphere BS.

[HighlyQuestionable]

Yeah, I agree. Have you ever considered "who" might be responsible for "creating" things like "Incel". Have you ever considered the implications of someone (or "ones") social engineering?

[normalice]

Probably. All of that manosphere nonsense is just another way to make people mad, because right wing media knows no one is stupid enough to vote republican based on merit..

[nevooo]

having a strong mindset is kinda the opposite of anyones priority list in 2023. you just have to find whichever victimization group you're a part of and complain about it for the rest of your life.

[RedInnocent68]

A lone wolf. Equal in many respects to an alpha, but by himself without a pack (social proof). Some incels would like to believe they’re sigmas, but they’re not… 🙄

[Billlewis]

Mr. RedInnocent is a good example of a sigma male.

[RedInnocent68]

That would be a poll question @Billlewis! What do you consider yourself and why?

[RedInnocent68]

*good

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir, I consider myself a weak beta male wimp, whose sole purpose in life is to serve the superior males like yourself, who are enjoying sex regularly.

[NathanDavis]

some nonsense that I am glad you've never needed to know about... lmao

[RavVid]

I think it is a genuine "type" and see myself in it.

[SixFootSexy]

I think of it as guys who think they're "Alpha but without the social proof."

[HighlyQuestionable]

"Social proof", is there any chance that society might be overshadowing the individual? And might that be a problem?

[SixFootSexy]

@HighlyQuestionable Depends. The answer is not a cabin in the woods, but also we've built a society that isn't worth protecting. So there's arguments for both sides.

[ProbablyClueless]

It seems like sigma males are just the updated MGTOW.

[RealMarek]

For most people who claim the title, it’s pure cope.

[Fuentes]

It's been around on GaG but I never did labels I think that whole label ish is nerdy af haha cause that's the only place I seen it said.

[LiamJHayden]

From what I can tell, it is the idea that the guy just does his own thing.

[Juxtapose]

It's a lone wolf by a different name. Lingo gets weird I feel ya.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Nah it just means a chill guy who doesn’t prescribe to the whole alpha/beta thing

[Benedikt_lol]

Sigma balls lmao
