I’ve always seen the sigma male meme as satirical, much in the same vein as American Psycho.

It’s unfortunate if people are taking it as a serious role model. I mean, the whole entire beginning and ending monologue in the movie, which stem from the same paragraph in the book, flat-out state that his life is pure agony for him.

I think “Sigma Male” started out as ironic mockery of “Alpha Male” but then irony poisoning took effect and people who didn’t understand that they were the joke took it and ran with it.
