It's like ligma but with less licking.
What does the Greek letter Ligma look like? Can you draw it for me?
Do you know the whole "alpha male" thing? There was an "alpha male YouTuber" who made a video on why sigma males are actually better than alpha males and it became a meme.
Ah ok. So where on that ranking does a sigma sit? Alpha, beta, …?, sigma?
About one standard deviation away from the mean.
Above alpha. Imagine all the qualities those charlatans attribute to "beta males", but spun into being positive things actually, that's a "sigma male". (e.g. you are not shy, you are a lone wolf cooler than everyone else)
Weird
- Sigma
- Alpha
- Beta

looking like jerma985, i think
I've never understoof how Bateman became associated with being a cool suave guy. The movie portrays him as a loser despite all the murders. His coworkers make fun of him and he doesn't even confront them, he's visibly panicking when the detective questions him, his girlfriend is cheating on him and he knows it, he's constantly doodling edgy drawings and listening to music instead of working, etc.
Its like people only watched the opening scene and the one in which he murders Allen.
I always thought it was on purpose. Like portraying him as a "sigma" or "alpha" was a way of making fun of people who believe in all that nonsense
Its like people only watched the opening scene and the one in which he murders Allen.
And the business card scene. But yeah, I think a large portion of people didn't watch the actual movie, and only saw those three clips on youtube (including me).
That's sort of the point. He's hygienic, nice clothes and hair, makes a lot of money, and very fit but that's really it. It's all material success but no moral or emotional success
Of the movie, yes. But I thought that whole "sigma male" fad was for ~~so called alpha male influencers giving their mostly awkward and shy audience an out instead of alpha~~ lone wolf type guys that stay away from social circles out of their own free will and are content on their own, never losing their cool and composed persona. Bateman is anything but that, he's impulsive, petty, envious, can't control his emotions, is frustrated when he can't stand up for himself in conversation and desperately craves the admiration of his peers.
It's all, probably, because of sigma edit tiktoks
What do you think about this movie (The House That Jack Built)? I really liked it!
Some horrors need not be shown in the light of day
Movies should give you emotions. No matter, positive or negative. And this movies does a great job of giving you emotions.
It was insane, and pretty enjoyable too
Tbh, sometimes it felt like a comedy
