What is a Sigma Male?
Sigma male describes a lone wolf archetype - someone who succeeds outside traditional social hierarchies. Unlike alpha males who lead groups, sigmas operate independently. The term originated from masculinity discourse but evolved into meme culture.

Internet memes portray sigma males with dramatic edits, Patrick Bateman clips, and "sigma grindset" compilations. The concept became satirical, often mocking over-serious self-improvement content.
