I'd argue that sigmas are purpose driven, alphas are power driven, and betas are comfort driven.

[alouiciousjackson]

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.

[MrTuttiFrutti]

To me sigma male is simply an introverted alpha.

[ALENful]

Sigmas dont mean they are completely alone, they are just more select with who they choose to let into thier circle choosing specialist over quantity. I know its fictions but Bruce Wayne/batman is a perfect example of a sigma.

[David_Thomas_]

Sigma makes a lot of sense to me. Because I am never a follower of anything but at the same time most of the alpha traits looked meaningless to me. Especially the desire to dominate.

[Naught]

You know you are a Sigma, before Sigma started being "cool".

[mickygarcia]

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)

It’s always better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission. True alpha and Sigma frame. Thanks Rich.

[TheMultiGunMan]

I find this topic very interesting. Thank you for covering it.

[johnnk]

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.

[stillawake]

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.

[aleksanderstrzyzewski]

The sigma male is the same as an alpha male, only that he possesses more of an introverted personality. A good example is Thomas Shelby from the Peaky Blinders.

[diegousalma]

"The Unplugged Salpha" Hahahahaha,
Great content as always Mr. Cooper.

[andrewryan]

Wow. That describes me to a tee. Iv never really thought about it. The only personality exception is when am at a boxing gym I can’t help but to show off and be Uber aggressive then I revert back to what I now know as Sigma male. Cheers Rich. Love your work!,

[heathsanders]

Rich love your work, mate. Read your book at least 5 times, another 10 times I'll internalize it. Speaking of which, I'll watched 2500+ YouTube videos on some of the smartest minds on the planet, Rickards, Rogers, Van Meter, and Sinder, to name a few, I could of definitely fast track my learning being around people like that to bounce off. That's all I've had. So yes, you can do it on your own. It's tough work !!!

[BrianMcNeel]

Great video Rich. I have wondered about this title. I can relate with most of it.

[samcashdan]

Extroversion is one of the traits we typically associate with the alpha male, but I've always thought of "sigma" as just an introverted alpha.

[kalmtraveler]

Definitely feel more like a sigma than alpha - I've got my goals and knock them out but have never cared to impress people, wanted or enjoyed praise from others for my successes etc. Satisfaction for me is almost 100% only felt by accomplishing goals or tasks I chose, but I can step into leadership when necessary and get a team effort organized etc but I don't want or seek leadership roles.

[CryptoBaby]

I nvr looked at myself as an alpha. Always thought I was on the journey to becoming one and strived for it through hard work and discipline. Now learning what a sigma male is, I think it's much closer to my natural personality and doesn't feel like I need to be someone I'm not. Can't fit everyone into binary labels like beta and alpha. Male and female, you 100% can though lol. always strive for better gentlemen!
