The Improper Romanticization of the Sigma

 A little over 11 years ago, Vox Day introduced his breakdown of the social-sexual hierarchy for men.  In his breakdown, he introduced the concept of the Sigma male.

This concept has been hotly debated over the years, with many people who analyzed Game either denying their existence or outright declaring themselves to be Sigma males.  Generally, I've found that anyone who classifies himself as a Sigma is more than likely a Gamma or Omega.

That aside, the concept was largely romanticized by armchair social analysts because they were perceived as the ideal man.  They were James Bond, the renegade who was suave with women but also literally went his own way, only settling down with a woman who accepts his disinterest as nothing personal.

More recently, Vox correctly pointed out that Hunter Biden was a Sigma male.  This, despite the fact that Hunter had zero qualms about banging his widowed sister-in-law, his niece, Obama's daughter, and funding Biolabs in Ukraine while smoking crack.

He doesn't sound like much of an ideal man, does he?

The truth is, the social-sexual hierarchy as laid out by Vox was never meant to be one to be something you can apply morality to.  This is a mistake that many men, especially Gammas and Deltas, make, assuming that men higher in status are also morally superior, in some way, with the Sigma being the chaotic good guy, as it were.

The social-sexual hierarchy is amoral.  It describes the behaviors of men at different levels of the hierarchy, it does not describe their moral inclinations.

But Sigmas are probably the least likely to be moral.  This is because of the nature of hierarchies in general.  You see, morality in society is largely maintained by its leaders.  In the social-sexual hierarchy, the man at the top is the one who generally sets the moral tone for those who are lower on the ladder.

Sigma men, however, tend to exist outside of the hierarchy and are therefore oftentimes immune to moral pressure from the Alphas and Bravos, for good or ill.  This means that Sigmas will have their own moral code if they have one at all.

If you think about it, it makes sense.  Hunter Biden is just as much a Sigma as James Bond was.  Serial Killer Ted Bundy was also a Sigma, whereas most serial killers are Omegas and Lambdas.

So being a Sigma man is probably not the best option for you.  While it could be perceived as the ideal place to be for many men, in actuality most Sigmas have a more negative impact on society than a positive one.

Not that many men can become a Sigma, to begin with.  Most of you who aspire to be one are low-end Deltas, Gammas, and Omegas.  My recommendation is to just be a Delta or Bravo.  You'll be more content that way and be pretty successful in life in general.

Also, you won't have to deal with pregnant strippers.
