So we're all familiar with the two categories in our social hierarchy of dominance: Betas and Alphas. But recently the internet has identified a third category
Sigma Males.
"But Diogenes", you may ask, "you've shattered my worldview; how can there be more social rankings outside of alphas and betas?"
Well my sweet child, allow me to elucidate this matter.
You see, you've simply been looking at this from a binary perspective Chadness must be graphed on a matrix, not a straight line.
So what exactly is a Sigma male?
Dictionary.com identifies a Sigma Male as: "a popular, successful, but highly independent and self-reliant man. Another term for a sigma male is a lone wolf."

Now lets break down the differences between Alphas and sigmas:
Alphas:
Charismatic, Outgoing, Ladies men, social butterflies, confident
Fictional Alphas:
-Tony Stark
-Fonzie
-Van Wilder
-Bronn from Game of Thrones
Sigmas:
Reclusive, Serious, Confident, strategic, Ladies men
Fictional Sigmas:
-Wolverine
-The Hound From Game of Thrones
-The Wolf from Pulp Fiction
-The Punisher
Here are some examples of Sigma absolutely asserting their dominance in the wild
