When most people look at a sigma, they don't see an alpha they see a social reject-- or at least, what should be a social reject in their minds. They'll see a pothead with nothing going for him. Or they'll see an artist who can't seem to follow a normal conversation, or a musician who acts like a hipster faggot annoying the shit out of everybody. Yet they'll be men who have figured out women and parlay their disdain for or subversion of social norms into high quality pussy.
Though good examples they can either be social rejects in the way you say they are but they can also be perceived as alpha and dominant. They're also very likely to be charismatic as well.
It's just that there's an almost off factor about them as they just don't have mass market appeal unless they operate in a fictional universe. The 80s anti-hero action heroes were pretty hardcore sigmas. Sigma describes John Rambo to a T.
Another Sigma portrayed in film could be Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Actually spent this weekend reading saved PDF's of Vox's archived articles detailing sigmas and literary depictions of Sigmas so this Thread delivered at a time when at my age(30) I am beginning to detail just who I really am and what my strengths & weaknesses are. A bit late many might think but I spent many years just chasing tail and serving no one but myself. Friends wanna hang? Too bad, I got this cute chic I pulled from Barnes&Noble yesterday coming over.
That's how it's played out over the course of my life. My interests, hobbies, and women come before anything else in my life. It's not on purpose but these are just the things I want to do and to hell with showing up making appearances and "spreading influence".
Many guys on here will call it gammas displaying their uniqueness from behind a keyboard. I'm no gamma that's for sure but how else are we supposed to relay our lives, these so called Sigma lives, to the forum, than through a keyboard?!
Even putting down the keystrokes to describe that tidbit of my life was a bit of an annoyance. I liken it to that one Black Phillip Show where Patrice shreds Jeffrey Gurian for having game that catches "bunny rabbits" and that how Jeffs' game is not applicable to most men and that because Jeff is always shrouding his actions and words in a cloud of mystery he cannot help most men in understanding how to get women or to even hand out a decent nugget of info.
That to me is Sigma. The Sigma does what he wants, unrestrained unburdened to perform for none other than himself.
Phlegmatic to the rest of the world but to those within his world and the women he chooses to lay with, well, they get an individual that seems to know a lot about a little and a little about alot. A very interesting character that his friends come to really appreciate and resonate with. For those very few in the inner circle, Mr. Sigma is definitely loyal as he already thinks of them as his equal. They understand deep down what he's about, what he appreciates and also when & where he likes to surface and make the rare appearance.
Other than that leave Mr. Sigma to his books, cars, instruments, nature & or whatever other hobby, including women, and don't expect too much from him. But for the few friends who he "allows" to expect anything from him, well you will have a friend for life. Real ride or die shit.
Beating on the chest and proving your rank in society? Great. Fuck off.
You want to have all the money in the world & flash it? Great. Fuck off.
Any other thing that can be construed as boastful or outward arrogance? Great. Fuck off.
Uninterested with not a care. An arrogance all it's own, but inborn, not earned through stepping on others to get to the top. I fit in where I do and still am able to be at the top of the pecking order. That cold indifference is always perceived as outward confidence that is not faked and truly is inborn and can be greatly amplified by ones life course, perhaps as being a bit of an outsider.
Great thread OP. I don't think Sigma can be dismissed. Of course it will but mostly by others who can't fathom having the cold calculation, IDGAF attitude & resolve to go it alone. So many want to be WITHIN the hierarchy and cast stones at any not in the same rat race THEY subjected themselves to. Sorry bout it but some of us here are truly outsiders, do what we want, when we want, tend to work in environments where that can be continued, and pick up women wherever we may run across them if they catch our eye.
Sometimes I like to think I don't have a certain type of look I appreciate in women the most. What I have is an appreciation for " the look" that a woman will give me, that with enough experience under my belt, to know that it's on. I love my work & my isolation & my very few kickass friends but I still love the thrill of having any random good looking woman who will let me have my way with her. What else is there to want for?!?!
