- Description
-
This phrase describes a man who is a 'lone wolf'—successful and self-reliant but existing outside of traditional social hierarchies. While originally part of the 'manosphere' pseudo-science, it has been heavily co-opted by meme culture to ironically or unironically praise stoicism and independence. It is often associated with specific characters like Patrick Bateman or Thomas Shelby in internet edits.
- Example
-
He really thinks he's a sigma male just because he eats lunch alone every day.
That was a total sigma male move to walk away from the argument without saying a word.
