Outsiders who don’t play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow. Alphas hate Sigmas since they're the only men who don’t accept or at least acknowledge their social dominance. (e.g. Alphas absolutely hate to be laughed at, and Sigma’s can enrage Alpha’s by simply smiling at him.) Everyone else is vaguely confused by them. At parties, he’s the guy who stops by to say hello to a few friends accompanied by a tier-one girl no one has ever seen before. Sigmas often like women, but also tend to be contemptuous of them.
Alphas seemingly rule the roost yet live in a world of constant conflict and hierarchical testing. Sigmas usually acquired their outsider status the hard way; one doesn’t become immune to the social hierarchy by virtue of mass popularity in one’s childhood.
In the event of all-out conflict between a Sigma and an Alpha, the Sigma will vanish. This may count as victory from the Alpha perspective, since he retains his control over the hierarchy. But, the victory can be hollow if the Sigma’s a valuable team member.
The wise Alpha will find a way to let the Sigma do his thing separately, but within the larger context of the team. Think skunk works, or IBM setting up its Boca Raton group to develop the PC without the interference of the larger organization.
Examples include: the Duke of Wellington, Orson Welles, (the artist formerly known as) Prince
Originally coined by Vox Day (going as far back on his blog as 2010) as part of the Socio-Sexual-Hierarchy (SSH)
"I told Steven we should be friends, and he told me 'no' flat out. What's wrong with him?"
"You're an attention whore, and a Sigma like him has better things to do with his time."
"Like what!?"
"Getting shit done."
Wikipedia definition:
Sigma (/ˈsɪɡmə/ SIG-mə;1 uppercase Σ, lowercase σ, lowercase in word-final position ς; Greek: σίγμα) is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 200. In general mathematics, uppercase Σ is used as an operator for summation. When used at the end of a letter-case word (one that does not use all caps), the final form (ς) is used. In Ὀδυσσεύς (Odysseus), for example, the two lowercase sigmas (σ) in the center of the name are distinct from the word-final sigma (ς) at the end. The Latin letter S derives from sigma while the Cyrillic letter Es derives from a lunate form of this letter.
Now the definition you've been waiting for:
Sigma has been coined as a term for the strongest male in a group.
What the sigma? Some know “sigma” as the 18th letter of the Greek alphabet but it's also teen slang for a cool dude. According to Know Your Meme, sigma is “referring to a supposed classification for men who are successful and popular, but also silent and rebellious.”
A sigma male is also the role after alpha male, which refers to a chad, while this one refers to sigma.
Example 1:
Person1: Erm, what the sigma?
Person2: *Reloads gun* I'm sorry. I have to do this. You've been consumed by the brainrot.
Example 2:
Person1: You're such a sigma.
Person2: Oh, thanks. What about you?
Person1: Oh, I'm probably just an alpha.
This standard deviation is biased, it is not the same as sigma
Another dumb saying said by ignorant Teenage Boys stuck in the alt right pipeline on Tiktok, similar to “the boys” phase of tiktok.
Person 1: “Morbius is a Sigma”
Person 2: “Shut the hell up”
