eight signs you are a sigma male the
rarest of all men
you're probably familiar with the
classic male sociosexual hierarchy it's
typically thought of as a pyramid at the
top are the alphas those super confident
driven and assertive men who are
incredibly social and thrive on
attention
the betas are the nice guys who are more
sensitive and less aggressive
then there's the deltas the average guys
who keep society running smoothly
next come the gammas who aren't as
successful with women and not liked
quite as much by other men
and at the bottom of the pyramid are the
omegas the fun-loving but
non-aspirational individuals
now there is another type of guy the
sigma male who doesn't fit into any of
the traditional male archetypes and
these men are considered the rarest type
here's how to tell if you're one of them
number one you're comfortable being
alone
a sigma male is a lone wolf by nature
who's more than happy with his solitude
and doesn't need another person to feel
complete
if you belong to this group of men you
simply don't need to be around other
people to be happy or successful because
you have no problem going solo and doing
things on your own
in fact you prefer it that way so you
can think things through and make use of
the deep silence in your headspace
of course you know that friends are
important but they don't define your
identity or self-worth
your social circle is small since you're
very selective about who gets into it
number two you are quiet and
contemplative
sigma mills are typically quiet and
contemplative which means you like to
observe your surroundings before
deciding what to do next
you're not necessarily shy but you're
likely to be more of a listener than a
talker and because of this general
reserve your social skills may be a bit
rusty especially when confronted with
people who want to chat constantly
you're definitely not one to wear your
heart on your sleeve instead you keep it
tucked safely inside where no one else
can see it people who try to get close
to you without being invited may find
themselves met with cool reserve or even
hostility as they try and vain to break
into the inner sanctum of your mind
number three you're driven by your own
internal compass
if you're a sigma male you don't care
about what other people think
it's not that you actively ignore them
but rather that your actions and values
are driven by your own internal compass
and not external forces such as peer
pressure
you are the master of your own fate sure
you may have role models or mentors but
you realize that no one is perfect and
that their way is not necessarily the
best way for you and this attitude makes
you feel confident in yourself and your
abilities
number four
you're independent and self-reliant
as a sigma male you're very independent
and self-sufficient you can take care of
yourself without anyone else's help with
an ability for introspection objectivity
and perception you use your internal
resources to deal with the challenges of
daily life
you simply don't need other people to
tell you that you have value as a human
being and you certainly don't need
approval from others or seek validation
from outside sources to feel good about
yourself or your choices
number five you're often seen as
mysterious and enigmatic
sigma males have an aura about them that
the average man does not possess
and if you're a sigma others often see
you as mysterious or enigmatic
it's not that you don't let on who you
are it's just that there's a lot more to
you that meets the eye
people often comment that there's
something different about you as if they
can sense your innate complexity and
individuality even from a distance
others may even mistake you for being
aloof and detached this is because you
are unique both in your tastes and how
you see the world
instead of blindly following trends and
fads you choose to march to the beat of
your own drum
number six you are flexible and adapt to
change easily
while it's difficult to know what the
future holds as a sigma mill you embrace
change and choose to adapt to whatever
comes your way
you have a very flexible approach to
life in general instead of letting
change stop you from doing what you want
you're willing to get creative with
solutions and adapt to new situations
with ease
you don't let current circumstances
dictate how your life unfolds
number seven you can lead without
exerting authority
perhaps one of the most defining
characteristics of sigma mills is that
they can lead without exerting authority
whether you're the boss or a subordinate
you are always respected and admired and
that's because your leadership is
expressed through example rather than
command you can be part of a group while
also operating independently of it you
aren't afraid to do your own thing and
speak your mind because you have no
desire to please or appease others for
acceptance
number eight you are morally gray
sigma mills tend to wander the outskirts
of civilization and its rules so they
don't always fit into the good bad
binary that most people accept
unquestioningly this means you often
wonder if some perceived rule is
actually worth following and you don't
shy away from bending or even breaking
that rule
since you're not concerned about fitting
in you're less likely to fall into the
trap of group think where opinions are
based on what everyone else thinks
rather than what you actually believe
as a matter of fact you're not afraid to
question society's mores and push back
against rules that serve to hold others
down for no good reason
essentially you question established
beliefs and refuse to buckle under
pressure from outside sources like
authority figures
you may not always be right but at least
you're thinking for yourself
sigma mills are rare unique and balanced
in short the sigma male is on his own
level and the combination of their
particular characteristics definitely
makes them the most intriguing type of
men
if you recognize these traits in
yourself there's a good chance that you
are a sigma male
that being said it's important to
remember that the sociosexual hierarchy
is merely an ideological construct
it is designed to help one better
understand themselves their role in
dominance hierarchies and their
interactions with others
