Sigma male is a term used in masculinist subcultures to describe a popular, successful, but highly independent and self-reliant man. Sigma males are often referred to as lone wolves, as they tend to be alone, and companionship lowers their productivity. They are identified by their unique set of behavioral patterns, attitude toward women, interests, and goals. Sigma males are well defined by their traits, which include:

• Living life based on their own rules and thriving for their passion
• Being highly independent and self-reliant
• Disliking social structures and cages and breaking out to do their own thing
• Not seeking attention or validation from others
• Not caring about dominance or hierarchy
• Being flexible and not minding working as a team or in a subordinate position as long as they like the job
• Looking for women who are self-confident and independent like them

Sigma males are not manipulative and do not manipulate others to get things done. They are good at taking care of themselves and are silent leaders. Sigma males are not dependent upon anyone elses viewpoint or judgment, and therefore, the need to impress other people goes right out the window. Sigma males are not a zodiac sign, but some zodiac signs have a higher chance of being a sigma male, including Scorpio, Capricorn, Leo, and Sagittarius.
