Sigma Social Game: KNOW People

Note: On behalf of what I've been living through lately...

If anything, Sigmas are advised to get to know the social environment and surroundings. Get to know your neighbors, get to know people and build up social capital through social connections. Do NOT just stay a hermit to yourself without knowing anyone. Everybody needs someone and you never really know when you might need help with something in life. Remember social value is measured and built on TIME YOU SPEND HANGING OUT WITH OTHERS. So hang out with people YOU find interesting. This is why Alphas have massive social value and capital: they spend a lot of time with others and get to know people on a PERSONAL LEVEL IN RELATIONSHIPS. This is how Alphas get, keep and MAINTAIN those social connections over a lifetime which help give them leverage to gain more wealth, power, influence and resources in society.

Do NOT be a stranger; get to know others on a personal level. Even if you don't hang out with people a lot of the time; people look out for those they know. If you lost something around a person you know you have a better chance of them returning it or calling you to get it than just being some random stranger passing by (most people would not bother telling you, you forgot something). Get to know others.

Time spent socializing and getting to know people is NOT a waste if you don't let it be. You get to improve your social skills, connect with another human-being and get to know or understand that person. Socializing is only a waste if you do not know how to create a decent conversation and build up social rapport and momentum for your purpose to make it interesting.

The dumbest people can end up with the best things, best jobs, best car, best house, happy family, by communicating well and being kind to the people they are working with not necessarily because they are "intelligent". They know how to talk and behave around people, are kind and "people-persons" so they get far in life because others actually want them to. Be the opposite, and people would like (or love) to see you fail in life and keep you down. People look out for people they like. This is an irrefutable human social truth in real life experience.

You could be an "Einstein"; a genius, but if you can't talk and get along with people and cooperate you won't accomplish nearly as much as you could with a "team effort". The popular saying 'it's not what you know, it's who you know' really applies in real life. Many people who get jobs, own businesses, public/private organizations and top-tier jobs get their because of their social connections with friends and their resources and their influential powerful, well-known families.

You can be the smartest guy in the room yet without decent social skills, a hard work ethic and good attitude, you won't capitalize on your "smarts" and you will be avoided, ignored and "ostracized" by the group or co-workers with hardly any social value except as a person they "work with".

Sigma Game: Sigma & Alpha Alliance

Although Sigma men tend to be very independent it's always a good option to have a degree of interdependence with others.

Everyone needs someone some of the time and what better "complementing" ally than an Alpha male comrade?


I've discovered Sigmas and Alphas get along quite well given Alpha doesn't feel threatened of his social status from Sigma.

Sigma could socially ridicule or pick at Alpha if he so chose, but given the rarity of an actual meeting between the two in real life I find it's the best, wiser idea to "befriend" Alpha and create a "social alliance".

This especially works for building social connections and power b/c given Alpha is already usually coming in with a "built-in" large social circle, this can give Sigma a big boost in building social capital.

I highly encourage Sigmas get along with Alphas and build friendships and alliances. It's usually the wiser choice than asserting pride over Alpha in case he embarrassed Sigma, and it just not worth becoming a "enemy" of Alpha if the circumstance definitely is not worth it.

I say, on the (very) rare occasions Sigma meets Alpha or vice-versa, they should "team-up" instead of attack each other. It's a MUCH better deal for both parties.

Sigma can help Alpha keep track of troublesome betas trying to replace Alpha of his leadership status in the social circle while Sigma can enjoy a "co-opt Alpha status with Alpha as a "duo" in respect to Sigma's dominance.

In return Alpha may pass on useful information, (social) opportunities (i.e. "connections" with quality girls, jobs, parties, etc.) or resources (money (for business deeds), food, commodities, valuable and useful objects and all sorts of creative "deals" that can sensibly and respectfully be worked out).

Think of it this way, in a day/night dating hunt for gaming girls Alpha wingman attracts the conventional, extraverted, hot bubbly mainstream pop culture girls (think cheerleaders, future trophy wife-types) through his bright, friendly outgoing personality while Sigma wingman attracts Alpha's harder-to-get "alternative" girls like hot geeky girls, gothic or hot punk, tattooed, unconventional biker chicks and whatnot; usually Sig gets the more "introverted" gals.

Alpha (Superman, Captain America)racks up the conventional (Lois Lane) while Sigma (Batman, Wolverine) swoops up the unconventional girls (Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Cat Woman).

The Alpha-Sigma duo is a good, complimentary approach that is very effective as both men cancel and negate their individual disadvantages with their opposite traits and it works out well given both men get the quality women they are after w/o getting into arguments or conflicts with each other over who gets which woman and such.

Side note: Befriending an Alpha is often usually better than becoming one of his main enemies. As a lone Sigma you are outnumbered and the tribe does not care for your presence or opinion if it goes against them.

In the unlikely chance you "best Alpha" amongst his tribe don't expect to enjoy the victory. No one cares from the inside and will only direct angry-looking faces of contempt and disgust in your direction of your "disharmony" in the group's function.

You will have to deal with the aftermath of complete isolation and loneliness and mental agony that comes with being a "lone wolf."

Be 'harmless as a dove, and wise as a serpent' (KJV Matthew 10:6).
