A sigma male is a term used in internet culture to describe a man who exists outside the alpha-beta male hierarchy as a "lone wolf". They are characterized as being highly independent and original with little or no regard to societal perceptions. Sigma males share many traits in common with the alpha archetype, though their tendency to walk outside of the lines of traditional social dominance hierarchies sets them apart and makes them different. Some key characteristics of a sigma male include:
-
Independence: Sigma males are fiercely independent and have their own set of rules. They dont need validation from anyone and tend to create their own journey.
-
Confidence: Sigma males are respected for their confidence and skills. They are self-reliant and confident in who they are regardless of the social context they're in.
-
Nonconformity: Sigma males are nonconformist and tend to break stereotypes. They don't restrict themselves like anyone or follow a conventional path.
-
Lone wolf: Sigma males tend to be alone, and companionship lowers their productivity. They're sometimes called "lone wolves" or "wanderers".
It's important to note that the term "sigma male" is a pseudoscientific term and is not recognized by any scientific or academic institution.
