An incredibly pretentious, smug person who believes they are somehow more unique and special than everyone else, and allegedly don't need to prove it to anyone (or so they claim).
They also unironically idolize the character, Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, treating him as the archetypal sigma male, when said character is actually a depraved psychopath, necrophile and serial killer who is not even supposed to be likable in the first place and was created by the author, Bret Easton Ellis, as a negative caricature of shallow, materialistic yuppies from the 80s. And no, almost none of these "Sigma" males have actually read American Psycho, nor seen its film adaptation, hence why they completely miss the point of his character and admire him for all the wrong reasons.

A type of men who wanted to be a "alpha male" but wanted to be like cooler or some crap?
So they decided to make their own type of male.
So they decided to make their own type of male.
Person 1 (a beta male): Yoooo, you're such a alpha.
Person 2 (an absolute sigma male): No, no, no! You absolute IDIOT! I am a SIGMA MALE, get it right you beta b*tch.

A Sigma Male (or Female) is just someone who knows this world we live in is a simulation and that we live in a prison, within a prison, and so on.
While the rest of the known universe lives to conquer or be conquered, the Sigma observes and takes in information so they can survive in a mad, mad mad world.
This leaves them vulnerable to jealousy from lesser Betas and even Alphas.
The Sigma does not care for fame but does like to collect fortunes as needed.
The Sigma is born with an intellect and instinct that reflects their erudition and spiritual goals, as they progress towards a way out of this worldly trap we are all stuck in.
Definitely a "Lone Wolf", but a Sigma knows that they still need other life forms to help with survival and pleasure, but keeps a distance from evil actors, deranged individuals and groups.
