WHAT IS A SIGMA MALE?

A more internally-focused sibling to the alpha male. While the alpha male quantifies himself on his high position in the social hierarchy, a sigma male prefers to forego the social hierarchy and need for external validation altogether and pursue internal strength instead. Essentially a "loner" or a stray man, although sigma males may have a close circle of friends and loved ones with whom they share a deep connection. The sigma male is not socially inept but simply socially disinterested. Prefers solitary activities where he doesn't have to play social politics and can simply focus on himself. The sigma male accepts that he does not need power over others as the alpha male desires, but rather needs only power to control himself and preserve his own autonomy from others. Sigma males are often pragmatic but may be seen by others as aloof, paranoid, secretive or selfish.

Subreddit Rules

Don't Ask, Don't Tell- If you are truly a Sigma, you don’t need external validation, and thus it’s pointless to tell people you’re a Sigma. If you have to ask others whether you’re a Sigma, you’re probably not. *Instead of asking “Am I?”, ask “how can I become?” We can help you with that.

No Low Effort/Shitposts- THIS IS NOT A JOKE/MEME SUBREDDIT. Any topics posted that are just "for the lulz" will be removed. (This includes "Am I A Sigma" shitposting). The occasional meme is fine, but have a clear idea of what constitutes as a low quality or low effort post. Also, please give your posts some sort of context that can be discussed. Violators will be permanently banned-zero tolerance.

Be nice, or leave!- Simple as that. Just go with the ol' adage "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say anythin' at all." We can't reiterate enough that this is a place for constructive, lively discussion. If such a discussion decays down to arguing and insulting, be it directly or passive aggressively, actions will be take up to and including topic removals and/or permanent bans.

Additional rules will be added as needed.
