Who gives a shit about these stupid names? I've never even heard sigma before.

If you have to ask, you're wasting your time thinking about stupid shit. You should always be trying to improve yourself.

Okay, Sigmas already know what they are. They know they don't have to try and will hide In Organizations best suited to their capabilities.

Generally they already have a plan and frustrate even the most dedicated attempts at pedestalization by women.

TL;DR, it doesn't matter, you're looking for special case status, you are deflecting. Be the best version of who you are, strive for joy and satisfaction, constantly improve. All this is pop sci bullshit, in real life we are all humans, some take responsibility and act others rationalise excuses and delude themselfs into scenarios where their ego wont be hurt. You can act, or you can think about reasons not to.

OP, you're not a Sigma.

If you're looking to define the concept, and I suggest not. As I understand it, Sigmas are rarer alphas - far more Machiavellian than their bullish cousins. Existing in the higher percentile of the functional sociopath curve.

A Sigma won't fight you straight up. In fact, you typically won't know you're in a fight until he's ready to deliver the [metaphorical] killing blow. He has a strong sense of self and focuses solely on self-advancement, but he'll appear as fluid as water on the outside if he has a long term goal. If there are no long term goals, he'll probably fuck with another alpha to see how far he can push him.

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em... Then beat 'em" would be his motto if he believed in mottos.

Sigmas are not 'introverted alphas'. What the actual fuck? Every keyboard monkey and closet brony is chiming in and calling themselves a Sigma these days.

Sigmas are perfectly comfortable and thrive in social settings. They just don't give a fuck and will begin to use a group to entertain themselves more sooner than later. Usually by way of using powertalk to threaten the group's alpha male covertly.

"I love your house/apartment, you're quite the homemaker" - women in the group will hear this as a well delivered compliment. The alpha male will hear this as it is; an attack to his status.

"It's awesome that you got the family car in the divorce" - once again this goes into the women's mind as an acknowledgement of our "progressive" court system. The alpha hears this as "get a real man's car, you loser". Even if you're wrong about the car - to everyone but your target it was an honest mistake.
