 8. You Are Morally Gray Sigma males tend to wander the outskirts of civilization and its rules, so they don't always fit into the good-bad binary that most people accept unquestioningly. This means you often wonder if some perceived rule is actually worth following, and you don't shy away from bending or even breaking that rule. Since you're not concerned about fitting in, you're less likely to fall into the trap of groupthink, where opinions are based on what everyone else thinks, rather than what you actually believe. As a matter of fact, you're not afraid to question society's moors and push back against rules that serve to hold others down for no good reason. Do they have a female pyramid? I mean, I'm sure they will do somewhere. We're strongly tied to the morals we have, but I don't think that means normal morals. I 100% agree with you. Change my mind. I am a pure omega male. How does it feel for you to be an omega male? Why do we have to gender this? Why does it have to be male? Why can't it just be like you're an alpha, you're a beta, you're an omega, you're a sigma? Hello, my name is Thomas and I'm autistic, and today we're going to be looking into the eight signs you are a sigma male by Brainy Dose. Do you consider yourself to be a sigma male? There's sort of a dark introvert who likes to do their own thing. I can't remember what exactly people characterise sigma males as. Do you find that you like to have control over your own life that you sometimes tend to be very independent and outside of social groups and such? Well, today we're going to be looking at Brainy Dose's video on the signs of being a sigma male and I'm going to deduce whether it is actually just being autistic or not, which will be an interesting video that I'm sure many people will be very happy to learn about if they consider themselves to be a sigma male. What's a sigma male? It's hard to explain. It's a whole thing. Sigma male is a slang term used in masculinist subcultures for popular, successful, but highly independent and self-reliant men. Another term for a sigma male is a lone wolf. That's a good overview for what exactly this is. I mean, I've seen a lot of stuff within the whole manosphere of YouTube where people are talking about alpha males and beta males and sigma males and all sorts of different males. To me, it just seems like a very strange way, sort of a different form of the zodiac signs, just in my personal opinion. Let's read the description first. Here are the eight signs you're a sigma male when it comes to the rarest of all men. The sigma male is in the league of his own. He's confident, intelligent, charismatic and considered a high-value man. Bro Zodiacs? Yeah. He knows what he wants and he doesn't let anyone stand in his way. This guy does what feels right in his heart and mind and does not care what others think about him. Considering it's the rarest, there seems to be quite a hefty amount of people who identify with this character. I didn't stop laughing. Right, let's get into the video. Brainy Dose Presents Eight signs you are a sigma male, the rarest of all men. You're probably familiar with the classic male sociosexual hierarchy. It's typically thought of as a pyramid. At the top are the alphas, though super confident, driven and assertive men. Let's have a look at this pyramid. It's typically thought of as a pyramid. You've got the top, you've got the alpha, the beta, the delta, the gamma, the omega. I mean, beta is much higher up than I would expect considering the context in which people talk about it. Reminds me of the Miesbriggs, of which I'm in INFJ. Apparently a lot of autistics are too. Yeah, I'm in INFJ as well. Sometimes the Miesbriggs stuff can be a good conversation starter about like yourself, if anything. Sometimes they are quite accurate because they are based on a particular personality traits and such. They're not always accurate, but it's definitely a good if you're looking to do some self-improvement. I think doing the Miesbriggs sometimes can give you a bit of a start. Help me reflect on myself 100%. Yeah, omegas are getting shafted at the bottom. Poor omegas. I don't know who would be considered to be an omega. But hey ho. Pyramid. At the top are the alphas, though super confident, driven and assertive men who are incredibly social and thrive on attention. The betas are the nice guys who are more sensitive and less aggressive. Then there's the deltas, the average guys who keep society running smoothly. Next come the gammas, who aren't as successful with women and not liked quite as much by other men. And at the bottom of the pyramid are the omegas, the fun-loving but non-aspirational individuals. Now, there is another type of guy, the sigma male. So would I be considered to be a beta male then? Because I am nice to people. Is that a prerequisite for being a beta male? You just have to be nice and like considerate of others. If so, why would you ever want to be an alpha? You're just basically a douche. Male. Who doesn't fit into any of the traditional male archetypes? And these men are considered the rarest type. Here's how to tell if you're one of them. Number one. You're comfortable being alone. A sigma male is a lone wolf by nature who's more than- Number one, you're comfortable with being alone. I mean, that's a pretty like autism thing I would say. Tends to be the case. More than happy with the solitude and doesn't need another person to feel complete. If you belong to this group of men, you simply don't need to be around other people to be happy or successful because you have no problem going solo and doing things on your own. In fact, you prefer it that way so you can think things through and make use of the deep silence in your headspace. Of course, you know that friends are important, but they don't define your identity or self-worth. Your social circle is small since you're very selective about who gets into it. It's listing off all of like the things that are related to autism too. What's the next one? You are quiet and combative. That also seems like a very autism thing, but let's hear it. You're a confident, not a pushover. I thought Alpha was a leader. Yeah, that's what I mean. Everyone's idea of what these different archetypes are like is very, very different. The diagram looks like they're going to try and sell a pyramid scheme, they're promoting some kind of social pyramid scheme. I experience a burnout and sucks to get so sad when other people do. Yeah, I'm sorry, experiencing that. Fun, loving, and non-aspirational, that doesn't sound too bad. I mean, I'm definitely aspirational. I'd say that I'm confident. I wouldn't say that. I think that there's a difference between being confident and putting on the facade of being confident. You can very much tell. It's kind of the difference of these people perhaps out at bars or clubs, and there's some people who are just really grating, annoyingly shoving people around and not really caring about what they say and whether it hurts other people and such. I would classify that as probably just being arrogant and just not a nice person. Whereas if you go to a martial arts gym, if you go to a boxing place, you're very rarely come across people like that. Most of the people who are actually competent at fighting, they tend to be fairly relaxed and fairly nice and genuine and not like that at all. I mean, you might get the impression from MMA and sort of professional sports that they're all kind of a little bit ego-tistical and big-headed, but I think that's a very small minority of them. I thought alphas beat their chest and had silverback hair. No really, guys. I'm exceptional. I'm more alphas, alpha than alphas. I am too alphas what alphas are to beat us. I am a proto-alpha, alpha before UI was. No, it's true. It's very easy to tell. I mean, it's easy to tell for me because there's some people that I came across in the fighting game who were definitely quite big-headed and annoying and sort of ego-tistical in that sense, but it was never really correlated to how good they were at fighting. Like, even if you go like the tallest, biggest people in the gym, they tend to be pretty nice and sometimes quite introverted and definitely not big-headed. They just kind of like to keep them themselves and do their own work and such, which I guess kind of sounds more like this idea of what a sigma male is, but I don't know. I mean, it's not a real thing. You're not born with like a tattoo, which, you know, you're not branded at birth about what kind of male you are when you come out of the womb. My friend fits sigma male. I can't be friends with him anymore because he pushed me away. Yeah, I mean, that's probably not good because, I mean, that's pretty much classified as having an avoidant personality type. People always say I'm glamorous and confident. I see weird and self-conscious. Honourable, moral, reliable kind, leader, strong, confident educator, humble. That should be alpha. on your sleeve. Instead, you keep it tucked safely inside where no one else can see it. People who try to get close to you without being invited may find themselves met with cool reserve or even hostility as they try in vain to break into the inner sanctum of your mind. Number three, you're driven by your own. This is going to be a pretty conclusive video, I think. Like a lot of these things that are, you know, like you're driven by your own internal compass. PDA profile of autism, maybe. Perhaps just autistic people having their own routine and independence. Checking all the boxes, indeed. Own internal compass. If you're a sigma male, you don't care about what other people think. It's not that you actively ignore them, but rather that your actions and values are driven by your own internal compass and not external forces such as peer pressure. You are the master of your own fate. Sure, you may have role models or mentors, but you realize that no one is perfect and that their way is not necessarily the best way for you. And this attitude makes you feel confident in yourself and your abilities. Number four, you're independent. They're not being the right way to do you have role models, but it just it's not the right way for you to do it. But breaking out of neurotypical expectations, maybe. My mask is mirrored. People see themselves in me. It's interesting to see that as something they don't like and those that really like what they see. The mirroring. You're so sigma. Yeah, let's have a show of hands who from the amount of things listed here, which of you you will you will tease would say that you you you take all of these boxes so far and be interested to see pendant and self reliant. As a sigma male, you're very independent and self sufficient. You can take care of yourself without anyone else's help. With an ability for introspection, objectivity and perception, you use your internal resources to deal with the challenges of daily life. You simply don't need other people to tell you that you have value as a human being. And you certainly don't need approval from others or seek validation from outside sources to feel good about yourself or your choices. Number five, you're often seen as mysterious and enigmatic. Sigma males have an aura about them that the average man does not possess. And if you're a Sigma, others often see you as mysterious or enigmatic. It's not that you don't let on who you are. It's just that there's a lot more to you that meets the eye. People often comment that there's something different about you as if they can sense your innate complexity and individuality even from a distance. Others may even mistake you for being aloof and detached. This is because you are you. Oh my God. Oh my God. I mean, is there anything more to say? I mean, do we really need to continue watching this video? I come back to see you watching videos about Sigma males. I'm disappointed and my day is ruined. Well, I'm reviewing this video typically because I think that from what I've seen, like on reaction channels that I've watched, that this like Sigma male archetype just seems to be like the autism archetype. Thomas is feeling seen. No, it's not necessarily that. It's just like, I don't know that it just feels very spectromy or unique, both in your tastes and how you see the world. Instead of blindly following trends and fads, you choose to march to the beat of your own drum. Number six, you are flexible and adapt to change easily. This isn't necessarily an autism thing. Let's see what they have to say. While it's difficult to know what the future holds, as a Sigma male, you embrace change and choose to adapt to whatever comes your way. You have a very flexible approach to life in general. Instead of letting change stop you from doing what you want, you're willing to get creative with solutions and adapt to new situations with ease. You don't let current circumstances dictate how your life unfolds. Number seven, you can lead without exerting authority. Yeah, I definitely don't think, I don't think that that's an autism thing. Thomas has a mysterious enigmatic quality about him. Do I? Guys, am I a Sigma? Oh my God. There goes the first threat to our new Sigma identifies. Can lead without exerting authority. Maybe it may be not too much of an autism thing. Forty. Perhaps one of the most defining characteristics of Sigma males is that they can lead without exerting authority. Whether you're the boss or a subordinate, you are always respected and admired. And that's because your leadership is expressed through example rather than command. You can be part of a group while also operating independently of it. You aren't afraid to do your own thing and speak your mind because you have no desire to please or appease others for acceptance. Okay, with the characterization that they've made of this on this point, it does sound a little bit oldie. Like if you're just leading by example, maybe. If you're off on your own, sort of independently doing things and you're doing it well. Is that really leading? I don't know. Enough about Sigma males, let's talk about Epsilon males. What is an Epsilon male? That wasn't on the hierarchy of social types here. Hell no. This all sounds more like wishful thinking to me. Might as well believe in unicorns. I think just from my understanding, it seems like just one of these phrases that sort of strikes a chord with people who are feeling like like lonely and outcasted or somewhat like upset by this characterization, like the whole Sigma, not the Sigma, the whole like beta alpha thing. They might feel a little bit like butthurt that they don't have like a cool sort of category for themselves that's not alpha, you know, validating their existence through these traits. And to riddle with social anxiety to lead anyone let alone my own to-do list. If Sigma is a wolf, I'm whatever the equivalent of a hamster is, I want to know about Zeta males. Yeah, we'll have to check and see if there's some videos about that. 8. You Are Morally Gray Sigma males tend to wander the outskirts of civilization and its rules, so they don't always fit into the good-bad binary that most people accept unquestioningly.

As a matter of fact, you're not afraid to question society's moors and push back against rules that serve to hold others down for no good reason. Rejecting social norms and socially normative values and sort of making your own mind about stuff seems a bit oldie to me. Somebody used Horoscope-Lingo to fabricate Sigma identity because Alpha's wouldn't let them in the club. Yeah, that's my thoughts. Do they have a female pyramid? I mean, I'm sure they will do somewhere. I'm sure they will do. We're strongly tied to the morals we have, but I don't think that means normal morals. I 100% agree with you. Change my mind. I am a pure Omega male. How does it feel for me to be an Omega male? Why do we have to gender this? Why can't it just be, why does it have to be male? Why can't it just be like you're an Alpha, you're a Beta, you're an Omega, you're a Sigma. Google this, the six female personalities. Do you guys seriously want to watch another video about these things? I mean, maybe for a future one. I don't think it's very in keeping with them, but it might be interesting actually. Maybe we could do that at some other point. Isn't. Essentially, you question established beliefs and refuse to buckle under pressure from outside sources like authority figures. You may not always be right, but at least you're thinking for yourself. Sigma males are rare, unique, and balanced. In short, the Sigma male is on his own level. Sigma males are rare, unique, and balanced. I mean, autistic people tend to be relatively quite rare compared to the general populace. Seen says, I think the Manusphere bros would be horrified by all these claiming their language. Oh my God. Well, maybe if there is someone who like tunes into this like clip that I make of this live stream, and they like consider themselves to be Sigma males, maybe it might they might sort of flick a switch in the head be like, Oh, maybe I'm autistic. Maybe I'm autistic. That would be nice. If I could like, help them with that. I listened to Sigma music playlist on ironically. Yeah. I mean, I do actually like the like the funk music and stuff. Funk is is I have a whole playlist if you want to check it out Cheshire Chan, search my name Thomas Henley on Spotify. You'd be able to find my why it's not really a funk playlist. It's more of a dark trap slash funk playlist. But you might like it. Fun gives me the stimulation to feel pumped and ready to fight 10 men. Yeah, it's good. It sounds like a category for people to believe in so they can feel special and better than the thing is just like, why would someone who is character characterizes being a Sigma male want to identify with like a group of people like that? And sort of be a part of a group and sort of, you know, you know what I mean? It's sort of of somewhat like contradictory, like to the personality type of someone who is a Sigma male, like compared to very abstract kind of non bounded things like amateurs and sigmas and alphas and beaters and zodiac signs. There are actually like particular sort of personality traits. I mean, like the big five personality traits that I think the Myers-Briggs uses. And I think those personality traits are actually used in like psychological literature. So I think there is some kind of there is at least like some determining factors to that level. And the combination of their particular characteristics definitely makes them the most intriguing type of men. If you recognize these traits in yourself, there's a good chance that you are a Sigma male. That being said, it's important to remember that the socio sexual hierarchy is merely an ideological construct. It is designed to help one better understand themselves, their role in dominance hierarchies and their interactions with others. If you enjoyed this video, give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends so we can keep making them. Do you guys think there's actually like some benefit to this kind of thing? Like, is there some benefit to this type of thing being out there other than to like group people who have like similar personality personalities or like experiences with life? I don't know, socio sexual hierarchy? Yeah, I had the same reaction. What are you talking about? With the conclusion of this video, possibly if you identify with a lot of these things, but perhaps don't identify with the ease of flexibility and sort of adapting to things, you may not be Sigma, well, you may be Sigma, but you may also be autistic. So do a bit of research into it.
