I'm sure that you have heard for the
alpha and beta males at some point in
your life
in popular culture these terms based on
the alphabet are used to describe meal
personality types an alpha meal can be
considered two men at the top of the
dominance hierarchy while the beta males
are right below him
generally an alpha male takes charge
while a beta male follows and serves
many men do not fit the Alpha and Beta
rules so that is why there are more
alphabet based personality types to
consider without a doubt one of the most
interesting ones is the Sigma meal the
Sigma meal is the one who does not
identify with a certain place in the
hierarchy moreover he uses the hierarchy
to his advantage
he loves freedom independence and
solitude / status money and fame I would
like to propose five habits of the Sigma
meal let's dive in one he goes left when
a majority goes right a Sigma meal is by
nature a nonconformist he doesn't follow
the herd unless he has a good reason yes
he can be social and enjoy social
gatherings as well but in the grand
scheme of things he rather goes his own
way
the Sigma meal recognizes that herd
behavior is often the consequence of
being led like sheep by a shepherd and
because he does not like Authority he
sees himself unfit for the majority when
he travels he avoids the big tourist
attractions when he goes for a hike he
prefers uncharted areas he is rarely
susceptible for hypes trends and mass
hysteria this does not mean that he
denounces the world when he feels like
he blends in he knows the herd he knows
how to act like one of the herd and he
even knows how to dress talk and think
like the herd but he is not part of the
herd and that's his secret too he often
goes on dates with himself for most
people life consists of many
relationships this could be
relationships with colleagues with
family members with friends with
classmates and even with a religious
community well a Sigma meal might enjoy
social interaction
he often
for some time alone when he travels home
from work especially on a Friday night
he looks forward to a nice long
intermission from the busy noisy world
in solitude he has a million things
going on he might be working on a
business a creative project or perhaps
he's reading a book he might enjoy
taking solitary walks in the forest
early in the morning or going for a swim
no matter what he enjoys his own company
three
he travels alone somewhere far far away
going in a group or at least in a duo is
the norm but the Sigma male often
chooses to travel on his own the first
time I have truly traveled alone was
about five years ago it feels fantastic
to close the front door of your house
with the knowledge that your journey has
begun equipped with a trolley and a
small backpack you begin your adventure
away from your job your hometown and all
people you hang around with in your
personal habitat actually traveling
alone is not just a solitary matter it
could be but I have experienced that
when I travel alone I meet a lot of
people traveling alone generally makes
you more receptive for strangers to
approach you also the majority of people
cling to each other when entering
unknown places the Sigma meal however
rejects such behavior he steps out of
the safety bubble and faces the world on
his own for he adapts okay this may
sound a bit contradictory in regards to
the first point but hear me out
a Sigma meal as the master chameleon he
gets along with people from all layers
of the hierarchy like I said he knows
very well how to act like to hurt
without becoming part of the herd Bruce
Lee said be like water and that's
exactly what he does no matter if he
resides in the highest of clouds or the
lowest and darkest parts of the sewers
the Sigma male finds his way to his
goals like a brook finds its way to the
pond in a presence of alpha males his
subtle ways eroded their toughness like
a river erodes hard rock his
adaptability is a strength he doesn't
fear change but embraces it and realizes
that change is the only constant
therefore no matter
where he goes he quickly blends in in
the land of the naked he goes naked in
the land of the suits and ties he wears
a suit and tie these are just outside
thinks they don't matter to him he
regards them as a small price to pay to
make his life easier and to stay under
the radar the Sigma meal prefers an easy
tranquil existence over Fame and
attention and doesn't want to be that
special snowflake five he keeps silent
when he doesn't understand many people
have their opinions on things they don't
know anything about they simply want to
look smart or dominate a conversation
but the Sigma meal only talks when he
has something valuable to add to the
conversation and this is only the case
if he understands the subject moreover
as far as he is concerned keeping your
mouth shut
is superior to speaking most of the
times not only you're giving away
valuable information when you're talking
all the time you are not listening
either he who knows does not talk he who
talks does not know by keeping silent
the Sigma meal not only prevents
disturbing a conversation with nonsense
he might learn something meaningful
there are exceptions to the rule of
course we all get in a certain mood
sometimes engaging in nonsense talk
that's just for the laughs I guess then
it's fine to talk out of your ass let's
not take life too seriously right thank
you for watching
