you might not admit it but if you're a sigma male chances are you don't have many real friends you might be wondering why this is especially when you know you're an intelligent and capable person while it's normal to feel that moment when you really want that friend who thinks like you not everyone has the same opinion about friendship many people believe that Sigma men don't have many friends because they refuse to follow the crowd while this can be true in some cases it's not always the reason there are also some deeper psychological reasons why Sigma
men have few or no friends let's take a look at 12 of the most important ones one people lie too much and it takes a long time to trust someone according to a study by the University of Massachusetts sixty percent of people 18 and older can't go 10 minutes without lying seventy percent of all liars claim to be willing to do it again while it's true that lying can be beneficial in some situations it also makes it difficult to trust people Sigma men tend to be more sensitive to the truth and prefer to surround themselves
with people they can rely on they're less likely to trust someone until their behavior consistently proves reliable this can make it difficult to form close friendships as the other person may not understand why Sigma is so distrustful he is all about keeping it real and this can be hard to find in most Social Circles while lying is a part of everyday communication Sigma men are usually more honest and straightforward than most this can be off-putting to some people who may feel that these men are too direct or blunt the truth is that Sigma men simply
don't like wasting time with small talk or beating around the bush they would rather get to the point and says what needs to be said two if anything smells bad they'll back away quickly you know that feeling when something seems off and you just don't feel comfortable with the situation or a person maybe it's a bad energy that doesn't quite feel right or even worse a person who is obviously only out to take advantage of you this is one of those moments when a sigma will quickly back away they don't like feeling stupid or taken
for granted even if they know you they will distance themselves immediately if you start to act shady or lie to them this is also why they sometimes appear to have trust issues they don't want to get too close when the person they are talking to seems untrustworthy or unreliable as the saying goes better safe than sorry the moment anything smells bad Sigma men put you on their radar and now every time you talk they're judging your every word and action while this may sound exaggerated it's actually one of the reasons why they can't be fooled
around with this can be seen as a negative trait by people who don't understand why they act this way but when you look at it from their perspective it's actually quite understandable unless you don't mind being taken advantage of three they don't want a lot of friends just a few ride or dive house while other people might want to make a lot of friends and feel accepted Sigma men are more selective they want to have a few close friends who will always have their back no matter what having too many friends can be exhausting and
overwhelming for them because they don't like to spread themselves too thin this doesn't mean that Sigma men are anti-social they just prefer quality over quantity when it comes to relationships and friendships these men aren't looking for a large and diverse network of friends they just want to find someone who truly understands them and thinks the same way this kind of friendship is hard to come by so Sigma males tend to be quite picky about whom they let into their Inner Circle if you can make it past this strict selection process and earn their trust then
you just want a friend for life from this point on you can expect nothing but loyalty and honesty from your Sigma pal while this process makes it hard to make friends it also makes the ones you do make much more meaningful this kind of loyalty can be hard to find but once you have it it's a bond that'll last a lifetime just think about all your friends who have come and gone then compare them to the ones who are still around after all these years those are the kind of people Sigma men want as friends
not the ones who are only around when it's convenient for them 4. they are highly skeptical of those who become their Fast Friends While most alpha males don't care about anything then reputation and status when making friends Sigma males are a little more picky people you surround yourself with will determine what kind of person you turn out to be so they approach each potential friendship with caution they are highly skeptical of those who become their fast friends as it looks suspicious when someone who was once a complete stranger suddenly becomes close to them this doesn't
mean that Sigma men don't like making new friends but they are always looking for genuine ones making close friends overnight is often seen as something suspicious this isn't always the case but Sigma men would rather get to know someone for a while before calling them a friend they don't want superficial relationships they just want to ensure the people they become close with have their best interests in mind you know the saying you are the average of The Five People You spend the most time with that's something Sigma men take very seriously they want to ensure
that the people they call friends are good for them not just Yes Men or people who only hang around out of convenience five they don't make much of an effort to make new friends you will never see a sigma man trying too hard to make new friends they don't feel the need to impress anyone or show off any accomplishments so they don't bother putting on a show to gain favor with others instead of relying on flashy displays these men focus more on the quality of their relationships they want to be sure that the person they
are about to become friends with is genuine and trustworthy so they don't make much effort to get close the sigma man tends to be an introvert and can often be found in his own world thinking quietly or in the company of close friends they are not particularly talkative so they won't make any effort to strike up a conversation with strangers however this doesn't mean that they don't like talking with people they simply don't feel the need to do it for the sake of being social while some may see this as a negative trait Others May
appreciate it after all when was the last time you had an enjoyable conversation with someone who tried too hard to impress you probably never six their expectations for loyalty and Trust are extremely high when it comes to trust and loyalty Sigma men expect nothing less than total commitment they don't just want people who will stick around when it's convenient for them you can find those kinds of people anywhere but what's hard to find is someone who will stand by you through thick and thin it's like they know intuitively when someone isn't giving them their all
and they can spot it a mile away to someone like Sigma loyalty is everything and that makes them such great friends partners and confidants not only do they expect loyalty from those around them but they also strive to be loyal to those they care for they will always do their best to protect the ones they love no matter the situation this is especially true in romantic relationships as they are highly devoted to their partners and will do whatever they can to make them feel safe and secure while this kind of loyalty isn't always easy for
some people those who understand it fully are the ones that reap its Rewards Sigma men also don't forget easily about matters of trust and loyalty if you break their trust it's very difficult to rebuild it again this doesn't mean they don't forgive but they certainly don't forget when someone betrayed them while some sigmas may be able to give a second chance most of them won't do so unless they are absolutely sure that the person is genuine and won't break their trust again people often say that loyalty is a rare commodity these days and if you
want loyalty get a dog while this may seem funny it's actually somewhat true seven their quiet and mysterious nature often intimidates others Sigma men tend to be very private and have a mysterious aura that can often be intimidating for some they don't like to reveal too much about themselves and prefer to stay in the background rather than be in the spotlight this is why they're often underestimated by those who don't know them as it's easy to mistake their quietness for lack of confidence however those who have spent enough time with Sigma men know there's much
more to them than meets the eye they are usually incredibly passionate about their interests and hobbies and can be quite vocal when discussing them while they may not always express their feelings openly they still value human connection just like everyone else this can create a bit of an obstacle when building relationships with these men as it's difficult for them to let people in and allow themselves to be vulnerable however they can become quite outgoing and sociable once they open up and get comfortable with someone eight they strongly dislike getting involved in conflicts or drama these
men are very peace loving and don't like getting involved in arguments or conflicts this is because they see no point in bickering and would rather find a calm resolution to any problem they are not the type to get into shutting matches or heated debates as they understand that communication should be constructive rather than destructive while this may make them appear weak or passive to some it's actually a sign of strength and maturity many don't know that it takes more courage to stay silent than it does to shout of course this doesn't mean that they are
never confrontational if someone tries to take advantage of them or step on their toes they will certainly not hesitate to take a stand and defend themselves while they appear silent and unassuming the last thing you want is a sigma man with a vendetta these men know how to get the job done when it matters however they will always try to keep the situation from escalating and will strive to find a peaceful solution nine they're not really fans of big crowds Sigma men may look calm and composed in big crowds but they're usually quite uncomfortable when
it comes to small talk and large groups they prefer one-on-one conversations as they find it easier to make meaningful connections this way and while these men can be quite charismatic when they open up they usually don't like situations where they're expected to entertain or put on a show this isn't because sigmas are socially awkward far from it they just don't need to draw attention to themselves as they prefer living below the radar they'd like to spend time with close friends and family in an intimate setting the same can be said of their career choices as
well they usually don't go into professions that involve a lot of public speaking or require them to be constantly in the spotlight they can do it if they have to but it's simply not their preference they'd much rather be in the background quietly making a difference without all the Fanfare and attention these are the kind of people who don't want to be famous but want to make an impact 10. they're highly selective about who they allow into their life while there's nothing wrong with having a large circle of friends or acquaintances Sigma men are usually
very selective about who they choose to associate themselves with it's like they have an internal filter telling them whether someone is worth their time and energy even if the person is likable and friendly Sigma males may still choose to keep their distance if they don't feel any sort of connection this isn't because these men are snobbish or exclusive but why waste time on people you don't have any chemistry with this selectiveness can also make it difficult for others to get close to them while these men may appear aloof it doesn't mean they are anti-social the
only people who have this misconception about them are the ones who don't know them if you ask sigma's friends they'll tell you that these men are actually quite generous and loyal 11. they are rare and often misunderstood by others people are not used to such a rare personality type so it's understandable why Sigma men can seem a little strange and out of place to some they don't fit the mold of what most people think a normal person should be which can make it difficult for them to find their place in the world but don't mistake
their silence or introversion for pessimism these men are incredibly optimistic and have a deep appreciation for Life Sigma men may not be the most social or outgoing but they often possess an inner strength and wisdom rarely seen although it can be hard for many to understand their unique way of thinking and behaving this is exactly what makes them so special many women find themselves drawn to these men as they can sense the depth of their character and appreciate their strong sense of self 12. they are not desperate for attention or acceptance from others the last
thing you'll ever see from a sigma is an attempt to win approval or validation from others he doesn't care about impressing people or making a show of himself these men follow their own rules and don't need anyone's affirmation to feel good about themselves this is why they can come off as arrogant they simply don't care what others think of them this doesn't mean they don't enjoy praise or compliments but they won't go out of their way to get it they'd rather focus on living life according to their own standards and values as this is where
true satisfaction and peace of mind come from this kind of self-confidence is hard to come by and that's why many people respect and admire them
