Sigma males have a reputation for being solo in life. After all, they are the lone wolves of society who have chosen to live outside of the social dominance hierarchy. They prefer to walk their own path in life, and do things according to what makes them happy, not what they believe will win them the respect and praise of others. Because of this, some people come to believe that sigma males avoid falling in love and entering committed relationships.

This is a gross misconception, however, as when sigma males find someone they care about they can make for some of the best, albeit most unusual, partners. If you find yourself in a relationship with a sigma male, here are some of the most common things to expect. Pay attention to these things, as knowing what to expect can help understand the way a sigma male approaches his relationships and will guarantee a more successful partnership with one of these rare free thinking males.

They won’t burden you with small problems

Sigma males are used to taking care of things by themselves. From a young age, they dedicate themselves to being able to handle life’s ups and downs on their own terms, and are not the type to come to others for help. If you find yourself dating a sigma male, you might notice pretty quickly that he’s unlikely to share the petty problems he encountered throughout the day. Rather than sit around and complain, sigma males would rather dedicate this time towards coming up with genuine solutions to their problems, and view sharing minor problems with others as a waste of precious time that could be put to better use taking action.

14

They will keep a cool head

Sigma males possess a high intellect, and are rational thinkers through and through. Even when it comes to relationships, they rarely slip into emotional ways of thinking and prefer to process everything with reason and rationality.

Rather than get sucked into arguments made up of emotional back and forths, sigma males prefer to talk things out with the intention of finding a genuine solution. Sigma males find over emotionality highly off putting, so if you’re someone who is quick to get angry or upset you can expect that your sigma male may lose interest pretty fast.

They need their alone time

Sigma males are naturally more introverted in how they present themselves to the rest of the world. They are deep thinkers and have a rich inner life. They enjoy spending ample amounts of their free time by themselves, reflecting on the world around them. As is the case with all introverted personality types, being around others too extensively can be highly draining for a sigma male, and he needs time by himself in order to recharge. Even in a relationship, a sigma male maintains this need for time alone, so don’t be surprised if too much time together appears to wear him out. He simply needs to be given the space and freedom to get that all important time alone, which leaves him feeling his best when he then chooses to spend time with others.

They take things slow

Being so rational in their thought process, sigma males are not the type to rush into anything. They prefer to take things slow and be truly sure of their feelings for another person before rushing to form any kind of commitment.

If you’re getting to know a sigma male, don’t be surprised or offended if he takes his time moving on to the next step – it just means he’s enjoying figuring out where he stands. If he doesn’t feel that the relationship has potential, he won’t string you along.

They are dedicated

Sigma males are able to spot when something’s up with their partner – and won’t be afraid to address and overcome any issue that presents itself.

They have their own way of doing things

As sigma males are lone wolves, it should come as no surprise that they usually have their own – often unorthodox – way of doing things. Sigma males don’t feel bound by the norms and expectations of society, and prefer to think freely for themselves. In a relationship, this can sometimes make them pretty hard to understand.

They like to analyse everything

Partners of sigma males should not be surprised if they find their partners analysing the different elements of their relationship, and wanting to talk things through and make sure they’re on the same page.

They might need to work on their communication

They spend the vast majority of their time by themselves, and are more used to thinking than speaking their minds. They can have a tendency to keep their feelings to themselves, and sometimes this can be a difficult habit for them to change when they enter into a relationship. When they do get close to another person, it might take some time for them to perfect their communication skills, and this is something that their partners will have to foster and treat with patience.

They are self sufficient

Being lone wolves means that sigma males like to be able to provide for themselves and dedicate their energy towards supporting their self sufficiency in life.

They make for supportive partners

They prize their independence

Dating a sigma male requires keeping an open mind and supporting him for the unique person he is and all that he strives to accomplish in life.
