"I keep acting alpha but don't have anyone following me" "well that just makes you sigma, here read my book about why thats even better" permalink fedilink source parent [–] NotGoingGently@feddit.online 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) What are sigmas? I had the impression they were like so omega they actually became cool somehow, at least in their own minds? I mostly associate them with the Literally Me types that just don't understand how the world works, worship grifters, and have and likely would honestly really rather kill women than get laid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 4 months ago a fiercely independent, self-reliant man who lives outside traditional social hierarchies. Often idealized as a "lone wolf," a sigma operates quietly without seeking social validation, functioning as a counterpart to the traditional, assertive "alpha" Married with 2 daughters here, feminist, vegan, anarchist and I threaten the traditional macho loud alpha type because I don’t see the hierarchy or participate in it which starves them of validation or something which unfortunately makes them focus on me more. Idk I’m just in my own wee world (AuADHD) and think it’s all dumb, but not afraid to tell anyone they’re being daft or give them a slap if needed. Plenty of pals.
