"Alpha" is the main branch of dominant men.
Sigma is a "split-off" of the main branch of Alpha that is demonstrated in this "Y-shaped diagram" below.
Interestingly enough, its also the "Y chromosome" that expresses the alpha (dominance) gene that is kept in the DNA code of the X chromosome of women (see:
Matriarchies and Alpha Genetics. Peacemaker breaks it down there):
Alpha Sigma
0 0 (5. Sigma "Moth"): Fully-developed Sigma in mid-to-late 20s
0 0 (4. Sigma (Cocoon) Transformation: Age 16 or earlier/later
0 0 (3. Omega larvae as prepubescent male child)
0 0 (2. "Borderline Alpha/Sigma "intro/extra" temperament development)
0
0
0
0
0 (1. "to-be" Alpha or Sigma male child)
Note: Natural "alpha male" development peaks in mid-to-late teens in one straight linear shot as they grow accustomed to their natural alpha traits. Alphas simply become more dominant and experienced in their top socio-sexual status as they mature and get older in their lives. Natural "Sigma male" development is a 2-STEP process: starting off as an Omega larvae, Step 1: growing into the natural alpha dominance traits in his mid teens in a (often)
EMOTIONAL MENTAL INNER TURMOIL PHASE (AKA "Sigma Cocoon") and then Step 2: gradually growing into a fully-fledged adult Sigma male in mid-to-late 20s. So the natural Sigma male development is a 2-step linear progression maturation model that's more of a "process" than the natural Alpha's quick growth in his natural dominant (social) status.
The main reason why is Alpha male is "fully cultivated" in his APEX socio-sexual status of 1. SOCIAL and 2. SEXUAL DOMINANCE.
HOWEVER the difference in Sigma's development, in practical real life terms, means the unhealthy (often dysfunctional, distorted) social development that causes a "would-be" Alpha ('Sigma') boy child in his formative years to be more inclined to his INTROVERTED temperament.
Sigma boys are naturally born with a stronger introverted preference of temperament over extraverted temperament so at that point the SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT of that Sigma boy's development in his early childhood determines if he will be "Alpha" or "Sigma" when he reaches his teens.
If proto-Sigma boy is more "extraverted" or talkative as a kid while growing up, he often forms at least one close friend to a group of 2-4 kids of close buddies hence the "pack development" of this "either-way" (Alpha or Sigma) "Sigma" male child. THIS is a key borderline phase in some "would-be" alpha boys' social development that determines whether he will become Alpha or Sigma.
Now in the above case if the Sigma male child REMAINS in his relatively socially healthy environment where his social skills are developed and he makes, keeps and STAYS in the same neighborhood or "territory" as his friends; he will become Alpha as his EXTRAVERTED temperament gains the stronger influence of his personality and life from that point on.
The "would-be" Alpha male child becomes a "Sigma" when his social development is disrupted and interrupted as when he is forced away from his supportive social structure and environment and becomes more personally "isolated" in his social interaction (i.e. talking, communicating and being in groups with people) away from people.
This dynamic causes "would-be" Alpha male child to become more introverted in his social development thus he cannot become ("physiological" natural) Alpha (even though he could gain the "Alpha social status" in "real life").
{The golden rule is this: (NATURAL) ALPHA IS EXTRAVERT. Natural Alpha CAN NOT BE INTROVERT, because Alpha is the natural social nature of EXTRAVERSION in terms of being a "hunter-gatherer" PACK LEADER. The natural traits for PACK-BUILDING social behavior REQUIRES EXTRAVERSION to be CONSISTENT.}
(NATURAL) ALPHA IS NOT (EVER) AN INTROVERT. THERE IS NO "INTROVERTED ALPHA" AS THE INNATE ALPHA (SOCIAL) NATURE IS EXTRAVERT.
As a result, "would-be" (natural) Alphas (*Sigmas*) that become introverted in their formative childhood years are the INTROVERTED VARIANT of the (NATURAL) ALPHA; they are NOT physiological temperament (natural) Alphas because they are NOT extraverts.
Basically Sigmas are introverted-opposite pseudo natural Alphas that did not become natural extravert Alphas.
Sigmas are not the beta "faux" pseudo Alphas that are not natural Alphas; Sigmas are introverted inverse Alphas that are SOCIAL Omegas because of inadequate social growth and social "group" development. (Note: That's why people don't act like or accept Sigma's leadership in a group because he's "outside from the (social) development (of the social group formation)" therefore he's not acknowledged or treated with the "social privileges" of Alpha male).
"Would-be" alpha male boys go from "Top" ("developing Alpha) to "Bottom" ("developing social Omega) if the social development part of the socio-sexual equation becomes negative.
For example:
1. Good social development + natural Alpha traits (the "sexual" variable for women's [natural] sexual attraction) = Alpha male
2. Bad social development + natural Alpha traits (the "sexual" variable for women's [natural] sexual attraction) = Sigma male
=========================================================================
{The defining mark of difference between Alpha and Sigma is this: Sigma male is the final product of a natural "Alpha" that did NOT socially develop and socially-embed himself in the social group structure of (natural "tribal") society in his formative early years as a child.}
The real life paradox is: This means the "would-be" Alpha male child that becomes a Sigma; goes into an
INVERSE development as a (social) omega larvae (because of he lacks the "pack" the "outsider would-be Alpha" is a
SOCIAL OMEGA because since he's NOT the LEADER and he CANNOT be a follower (AKA "Beta") but can only be a "leader" because he's born an "Alpha" so the paradox dilemma is he becomes a SOCIAL OMEGA in contrast to the
EXTRAVERTED fully-developed Alpha that is known as "Alpha" by the common definition.
In this case, because the underdeveloped "would-be" Alpha (that we call "Sigma") is neither leader nor follower (which I mention the Sigma's "Moth" and developmental origins more accurately on this
blog) his default social status on the
SOCIAL HIEARCHY is
SOCIAL OMEGA while his default sexual status on the
SEXUAL HIERARCHY is
SEXUAL ALPHA because he
naturally has the [same] Alpha traits (i.e. good genes, good social skills, dominant body language, more "pronounced" louder voice, dominant expressive eye contact, high stress tolerance and high testosterone per body mass index -- although some are "expressed" inversely in different ways) that sexually attracts the females but lacks the natural extraverted temperament social development of the natural (extraverted) Alpha because he did not fully integrate into the social group structure of society.
