Brief Essay on Alpha-Sigma Male Difference

The main point is even though Alpha and Sigma are at the top of the socio-sexual hierarchy, they generally have more personal problems in their life circumstances that balances their strengths and determination with the males lower on the hierarchy like the Betas, Deltas, Gammas and Omegas.
Even though Alpha & Sigma are the BIG BOYS, believe me, with all their strengths they have as many weaknesses that keep them in check and put them down a peg. That’s for sure.

Alphas generally have a better upbringing in their childhood development than Sigmas and have a better home life.
Sigmas on the other hand, generally have much more complicated home lives and personal problems than Alphas to overcome over the course of their lives.
The most conflict Alphas encounter has to do with their personal relationships in their friendships and family relations. This is mostly about staying TOP DOG and keeping the Betas in check while being challenged and still maintaining his social status as being THE LEADER who guides everyone and is expected to take charge and SUCCESSFULLY accomplish whatever goal he is in charge of. If anything life & death-threatening situation happen, ALPHA is EXPECTED to take CHARGE of the SITUATION or else risk being socially rejected from people’s resentment over their inadequacies and insecurities of not being able to fend for themselves. Luckily for him, ALPHA naturally enjoys to take charge and lead but since he’s human, he can at times too feel used, irritated and exhausted from everybody’s neediness, that in itself, IS disgusting. But he has to do it; it’s the GAME he plays and ultimately his greatest role.

Sigmas' lives are somewhat different, though they possess just as much (or more) charisma and vitality as the Alphas which is why they are sometimes mistaken as Alphas. The hardest thing for Sigmas is to acknowledge their social isolation but realize even though they are DOMINANT MEN like the Alphas they will never be easily accepted back into society as THE LEADER, because of how effortlessly easy it comes to a Sigma if he is not challenged by an Alpha or another Sigma.
Betas, Deltas, Gammas and anyone who has spent their lives climbing the self-defeating hierarchy will realize this and attempt to block him off or smokescreen him because they don’t want to acknowledge the truth that outside of Alpha’s social presence, HE is the Dominant Man in the Building. Because of course, who would be happy to give their seats away if someone just comes along and effortlessly takes control of the situation -- it’s understandably infuriating. But the thing is, if people are thrown into a life-or-death situation without a clear sense of leadership because the Betas generally don’t have the stones to take command of a truly dire situation and there’s no Alpha around but a Sigma; he is granted temporary horizontal social status as THE LEADER to guide the people out of trouble.
After that, he isn’t technically thrown out “socially” but he gets the impression that they don’t want him as THEIR LEADER, which makes sense because they don’t know him and he hasn’t spent enough time in to reinforce his social relationships to have much “social value” even though it’s instinctively clear by everyone that he’s the dominant man.
In this sense, Sigmas are Pre-Jaded Alphas, who are the unofficial back-up leaders when no Alpha is around but is then rejected as the leaders who can just pop up in any social group and dominate as THE LEADER when they haven’t invested nearly as much TIME, which is SOCIAL VALUE, in their social relationships as those that have been in the group for a long time like the Alphas. The Sigmas that find ways to overcome their life challenges and effectively use their temporary horizontal leadership social status can find life to be quite rewarding and is one of the reasons Alphas hate Sigmas.
Alphas hate how easily Sigmas can become THE LEADER when no clear leadership is around and then walk away from it all partly because they aren’t completely accepted as true members of the group through seniority and the other part, because their lives aren’t inescapably attached to other people. THAT besides Sigma’s refusal to acknowledge Alpha’s social dominance is another reason why Alphas generally hate Sigmas.
The Sigma male isn’t bound to interpersonal social relationships the way Alphas are. But the thing about Alphas is -- they are completely accepted as THE LEADER by their social group, with most Alphas having grew up in childhood with the lifelong friends they now have in adulthood.

That’s something no Sigma could really have...
