    I think the key differences are that an alpha male's status, power, and validation are defined in terms of their relationship to others but a sigma has all that inside himself. That's why he really doesn't need others too much and only associates with those who he truly likes.

      Few actually have this sort of internal validation.
      I’d argue it almost exclusively takes a deeply held non-material purpose in life to achieve that.
      You’d need to have incredibly static principles and beliefs to have that level of self-validation.
      But this topic is clearly just the next chapter in Rich’s inevitable path to knowledge and meaning.
      It’s way freakin’ more than just being accomplished at business and women. Done right, I’d argue those should be a by-product but so many prioritize the material success FIRST, and miss the enrichment of non-material wealth that comes with being a “sigma male”… or whatever label you prefer to place on it.

    Sigma here. BSBA Supply-Chain economics, followed by Network security, ex-military, mathematician. The planning thing is wrong. We hate wasting time because we have plans, not because we don't plan. That's entirely incorrect. We can't be manipulated because we'll rarely tell anyone what we're thinking. We're stoic to avoid complications and save time. We read people accurately and form opinions without letting others know what we're up to. We avoid drama like the plague, but we have a tight circle of friends and we're exceedingly loyal. If we determine that our partner is not "all in" we'll leave them without notice, or even a break-up fight.

    I'm glad you covered this. I've been hearing about this as another "male class" seperate from Alpha, yet I identify with both. Its clear to me now that "Alphas" are egocentric alphas, and "Sigmas" are non-egocentric. I'm a strong Alpha but don't really care what others think of me. I am a HIGH achiever despite countless failures, am creative, intelligent, high critical thinking, charismatic, attractive but am "low status" because I'm tired of socializing with low value and shallow people (which is most of them). Yet I can mix well in ANY social circle, and am utterly tired of the B.S. of women and their inconsistent "needs" and so called "feelings", and feel absolute sorrow for the young males who are growing up in this continually degrading and f'd up world in almost every area of it (i.e. finance, economics, relationships, sensibilities, sociopathic/narcissistic)

    Seems to me the biggest difference is how you value STATUS.
    Obviously, you can only have high or low status within a group setting - relative to the others within the group. Status doesn’t have much use to you if you are alone.
    Both are probably fairly low in the trait of agreeableness. The alpha is the extroverted version, and the sigma is introverted.
    I just read Will Storr’s book, “The Status Game.” Highly recommend.

Much like when men think to themselves in private, "I think I belong back in Medieval times" or whenever. Part of the details of these type of spiritual conundrum's also comes with baggage that might get proved in the court of public opinion to be full of Outdated attire. Cheers!

  • @johnnk3256

    One thing. Apparently, Sigma males do not like themselves to be categorized under a group, any group. So, they won't call themselves Sigmas, to begin with. They'll reject the idea of a hierarchy like Alpha, Beta, nonsense. They are strict individualists. And they stand separately in all aspects.
    So, if someone says they're a Sigma, they are most definitely not one. Because their individuality will not allow them to be stereotyped.

I totally hear what Rich is saying about needing to have some ability to network and develop social graces in order to be successful. I had to do this as a shy young professional…once I developed a web of people, job opportunities were almost effortless. So, I’m sure this is exponentially true for men too. Introverts have to find their way in the world, which seems wired for social people so much more. Interesting content..

Defining ones "Id" has already been done for us, that's not to say that there is no room or time for improvement. In the end, there is no "absolute".
    Who and what we are must be adaptable moment to moment or, we fail to recognize potential outcomes for the positive or, the negative.

  • @7gmeister

    I can relate to much of that and I had a similar story to Rich.
    Nerd with few friends.
    Kept to myself mostly though because I didn’t have a huge choice but started playing metal and my life completely changed.
    I quickly became the alpha and then the music scene did an abrupt 180 in the 90s and life got interesting for me after that.
    After years of trying to figure it all out I find myself wanting to care but not really able to.
    Living in Orlando for 18 years and being sins the most superficial people really has made me hate peoples like that.
    I’m not against looking good or having nice things.
    It’s just that people care way too much and Orlando is a tourist town so there’s no culture or anything and seeing people that literally have nothing going for them in any real value and strive to have everything that’s external was just a really stupid experience for me.
    Ever since I got into music I learned the value of looking good but when your fashion has a culture underneath it like Metal it gives you more than just an outward persona but there’s a lifestyle there.
    Most people have no identity anymore because that’s been uprooted so they might look good on the outside but they don’t have any receipts to show for it.
    That’s probably why a lot of guys identify that way.
    They see how nonsensical it all is and there’s just no point to looking good and having nice things if it’s just too please others.
    There has to be more to keep you grounded and steady and unchanging and there’s just not and that’s probably why we exist.
    It’s not that we don’t want to be around people or be successful.
    It’s that we know that if that success isn’t grounded in something it’s meaningless and that’s kind of awful to have to maintain a life with no purpose.
    I guess that it’s better to be financially secure and live meaningless lives than to be broke and that way so you gotta level up somehow

    I agree. Success is easier to achieve with a network. An intelligent and wise group of men stranded on an island have a greater chance of all surviving if they work together (hence the saying your only as strong as your weakest link) vs conflicting or doing it on their own.
    No person is more valuable because of their status place. What makes one valuable is situational. Donald Trump was president and gave orders yet the men and women who achieved the desired outcome is where the true value existed.
    Coaches can give constructive guidance yet never have the potential to achieve what their students will. They both serve their place in the end result however.

    Once you go beyond Alpha and Beta, into Sigma and beyond, you start getting into sub-types. More accurately you are describing personality types. I suggest looking at Meyers-Briggs Personality Inventory. This Sigma sub-type seems closely aligned to an INTJ personality type to me, aka The Architect. Highly successful through quiet, complex strategies. Rich's description also suggests INTP. INTJ only make up 2% of the population, maybe the rarest personality type.

    My definition/understanding of a sigma male is: A man who doesn't really care about his position in male hierarchy and social order, yet who's presence and male energy itself commands respect, admiration and fascination.
    A sigma male could sit in the far corner of the room, just reading or writing, and he still is the center of gravity of that room. He effortlessly draws attention, respect and admiration from both men and women. Without even trying and without any flexing behaviour or speech.

    I recommend a book called “The warrior, the king, the magician, and the lover”. It’s an in depth study of the male archetypes. It defines male aspects in a much more comprehensive fashion than “alpha, beta, sigma… etc.
    For example; the definition of “sigma” as is presented in this video, is one the the shadow aspects of the magician archetype.
    We are all combinations of all the archetypes, nobody is simply one or another.
    Thanks guys. These conversations are helpful.

    You make a great point about how you can’t really accomplish great things in life without others. But subhanAllah, I came to this realization before you uploaded this video:
    You can’t TRULY become a sigma without first being an alpha. And that’s because the skills necessary to become a sigma can only be fully developed by becoming an alpha first.

      That is Not correct, to be a Sigma male. The man need to have a strugle Life, a fucked Up Life to evolte to a Sigma. Why movies descripe Sigma males as criminals-soldiers-fighters that has a reason.

    Sigma males don't typically tout their label(alpha, beta, sigma, etc) they just exist. Working within systems that require working within, while trying to forge a more solitary path. Seems fairly consistent with the unplugged alphas presentation as he notes, and many persons who would not typically label themselves "alpha". They may also be targeted for scorn due to certain perceptions by others, especially the RP community. They may also be higher on PUA abilities naturally due to the tendency towards introversion.
    All these terms really serve to divide and distract more so than describe.

    I kind of have the attitude that some things are just a waste of time. I'd call myself a sigma in that I'm not a beta but don't have the desire to become an obnoxious alpha. Holding back and just listening is a great source of power, in that a lot of people who love to talk usually only stop long enough to take one foot out of their mouth and put the other one in. I'm 55, an Army Veteran with retirement and disability pay, and a heart attack survivor. I just don't have time for trivial, superficial things or people. I'm OK to never marry if I can't find a quality lady. She has to be a woman, not a girl. And I have ZERO intentions to let a girl rob me of any of my hard earned benefits.

    If you step into a room with a mentality like “There's a Fox in the Hen House...and I've never eaten better...” That's a sign of the sigma male mentality. It's neither alpha mentality nor beta, but it cleverly lands on the middle ground and reaps all the rewards with a subtle graciousness. 😄 Sigma/Alpha here! 🙋🏻

    Accepting late in age, often refusing to accept, rejecting the label, and finally coming to terms with it, I accepted who I am. Always thought this was a slur. Always taught my two kids NOT to be a "lone wolf". The only thing I would disagree with Rich, is that a GENUINE "Sigma" doesn't choose to be one. He is at core a Sigma, which stems from his survival and EXTREME... EXTREME need to be self-reliant. But a Sigma gets tested for the harshest survival instincts and most Sigmas don't make it out with high mortality rate. The ones that do (like me) are often the happiest in self-exiled life and too busy and mission focused. Not a day, I ever walked into an "Alpha" Doman and unable to negotiate better terms for MYSELF. That's what a Sigma is all about. Not looking ''cool". As cor females, never had the need to have one, but NEVER had the issue of getting a good looking female WHEN I need one. Which is again, a Sigma curse in poetry. Don't be a Sigma...it's genuinely a lonely life of hunting, surviving, and staying happy AFTER being genuinely content with it. 👍

  • @fordshaw5833

    I think a sigma male is a self-actualized man who is on the blurred boundary between being introverted and extroverted which fits them into that narrow fraction of the general population. Abraham Maslow, the noted Professor of Psychology who is credited with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs lectured Wayne Dyer. Dyer gave a talk about being self actualized, in that talk he said Maslow described one of the traits of being self actualized as,”…being beyond the good opinion of other people” put another way it’s an attitude that’s not one of indifference or defiance rather it’s one of attention to one’s own purpose in life and the fulfillment that comes in the service of those aims. A sigma male marches toward their their goal to the tune of a drum only they hear. It takes a sharp eye and a keen mind to distinguish a loaner from a sigma. Loaners drift whereas a Sigma is purpose driven and on task - except when they’re having fun. Sigmas are social, their call isn’t leave me alone or follow me it’s …going my way? And, isn’t that the best way to find like minded friends to share adventures with!

  • @SeventySoyer
    @SeventySoyer 24 дня назад

    I guess the most Sigma thing I do is when at parties with many people I barely know and don't care about, as soon as I start feeling my social status is challenged, got no one left to talk to, instead of working hard trying to insert my self in to other groups, I just leave. And if asked, I just say "I got bored", which is true.

    I’m so introverted I keep 5 friends and got rid of tv 😂. Other ppl are boring and senseless with there bullshit. I’m content living on my farm and being left alone. That said doing it alone is breaking my back literally now that I’m getting a little age to me like I could in my 20s. My normal 9-5 job it’s always one I’m left alone to do my job but I can be extroverted when needed. I could sell a ketchup popsicle to a lady in white gloves and can relate and connect with anyone I need to. I can be incredibly confrontational when I feel like I’m being infringed on. People tend to naturally follow me and have had coworkers tell me I can talk anyone into anything and make it sound like a great idea. I’d rather just not deal with ppl unless I have to for personal gain. I also trust no one other than myself including my own brother who’s my business partner 😂

I love women, however, I am rarely in a relationship with a women. I work as a stand alone headhunter and I love training and exercising in the gym and keeping myself to myself. I will talk to people but I do not seek people out. 7:50

    I realized I was sigma when I was around a fire with 8 women. Politics and social issues were brought up, ya know the typical shit we all argue about every 4 years..After being called every -ist and -ism in the book, I calmly explained my positions on each hot topic and really emphasized how and why nothing will change because they have us all by the (figurative) balls. Voting is just an illusion of choice, and it’s always been about class and power, not race. The fact that us 9 lower middle class citizens were even arguing about details of issues already solved, and not where our money really goes, was eye opening to them all. By the end of about 2 hours I had them all on my side, and got two phone numbers lol

    I, too, was incredibly shy and insecure (tall, skinny, acne,) when I was in high school. At age 18 I decided this was no way to live, so I started on an 18 year journey to become "unshy." I've never lusted after wealth or power. I spent some decades lusting after.....lust. Pussy. Which, of course, is also a goal of most Alpha's, but I didn't use wealth and power to get them to spread their legs for me. Mostly charm and knowing what I had to do to become a successful seducer. (I was blessed by being good looking by my thirties, that helped.)
    Now I'm an old man. My rather small house in a great neighborhood is all the shelter I want. I drive a 23 year old fast car. I write, I do photography. Sure, I'd like to be published, but not very important. I'm active in my community in several ways, including volunteering.
    The list pretty well describes me except for the brooding and not liking to be social.

    IMO all the sigma stuff is all fortune teller nonsense. It is there to make you feel better and emotionally manipulate you into reading or watching more of those videos on it. I watched a few videos of it but then stopped because none of the videos told me anything that I didn't already know. Exactly fortune teller nonsense. I would stay away.
