Sigma Males or Sigma Male is a slang term referring to a supposed classification for men who are successful and popular, but also silent and rebellious, a type of man who likes to "play by his own rules." In most analyses, they are considered "equal" to Alphas on the hierarchy but live outside of the hierarchy by choice. John Wick has often been cited as a prominent example of a Sigma Male. After the discovery of the classification was unearthed by Twitter user @LilySimpson1312 in 2021, it was mocked online by people expressing distaste for the greek alphabet system of male classification. However, the term has since become widespread in memes and internet discourse, such as Sigma Stare and Sigma Male Grindset.
