Actually the same though.
What is a "sigma male?"
And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?
None of this meme makes sense to me.
And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?
because people are mean and repeat the mean things that have been done to them, and difficult emotions make people uncomfortable and one way to avoid them is punishing people who do open up
My parents and school teachers and peers made it very clear to me that if you show emotion such as sadness, jealousy, frustration, fear, or anxiety, you were not living up to being a male and thus are weak and deserving of punishment, physical violence, and social isolation and ridicule.
Sigma > Alpha now apparently, Alpha is the new Beta
why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?
Not to sound like a blue-haired liberal, but at least in my neck of the woods, toxic masculinity is to blame. Like, one of my favorite internet folk got bullied off the internet recently for saying he likes girls a little too enthusiastically. Some dudes will absolutely tear you apart if you are a man that exhibits anything other than stoic passivity.
I had to Google it and what came up seems to be it's basically a lone wolf but worded by people who also use terms like alpha male.
I may be wrong though.
The alpha male gets rebranded every time once the previous rebranding gets ridiculed to death. Can't wait to see what sigma male gets transformed to
Not really, it was supposed to be a person so above the "alpha beta" bullshit, not caring about how people perceive them, that they wrap around the "spectrum" in front of "alpha". It was meant to be a comedic / sarcastic way to rebuke toxic standards, but it was assimilated into the general "philosophy" of it.
So basically it's all bullshit anyway
I don't open up emotionally because no one cares
Same picture, different coping mechanism
I don't open up because I don't want to scar other people with the contents of my head. We are not the same.
This would have been a much better meme.
What's a sigma male 🤨?
Sigma Males are what those guys who used to call themselves Alpha Males now call themselves, because everyone started making fun of them for calling themselves Alpha Males.
I had the exact same question, but I asked Google instead of typing a comment
*have repetedly experienced
Bold of you to assume I'm a sigma male.
What are you?
Beta :(
I think this meme would be funnier if the first two lines were swapped.
"emotionally because you dont open up" yeah much better good call
