    WTF is ‘sigma’ in this context?

        What does the Greek letter Ligma look like? Can you draw it for me?

      Do you know the whole “alpha male” thing? There was an “alpha male YouTuber” who made a video on why sigma males are actually better than alpha males and it became a meme.

        Ah ok. So where on that ranking does a sigma sit? Alpha, beta, …?, sigma?

          Above alpha. Imagine all the qualities those charlatans attribute to “beta males”, but spun into being positive things actually, that’s a “sigma male”. (e.g. you are not shy, you are a lone wolf cooler than everyone else)
