The £1/$50 offer for a certificate of Alphaness was clearly fake. A REAL Alpha would pay minimum $10,000 for the certificate. A Sigma would pay $50,000 or hire a contract killer to get it from me.
Checkmate, Gammas.
Alphas and Sigma, please send Cash, Gold or Silver Bullion only. No timewasters.
Yes, hot Scandinavian blondes from Minnesota were definitely in the habit of entering into arranged marriages in the 1990s.
Please don’t stop. Please continue to keep your cringe posting to a level where it is funny enough to laugh at, but not quite bad enough to get you banned.
Perhaps what would help these men would be an online SSH tool they can use to self diagnose their SSH rank and therefore leave the blog comments alone.
How low does the sigma designation go? I ask because I've got a pastor with some definite sigma-like traits, like doesn't play well with hierarchies. He's clearly not an alpha for this reason. But he was a minor rock star and is still an excellent musician and has an attractive wife who is very much into him. He also doesn't seem to have any particular trouble leading sub-Dunbar numbers of people or in communicating with reality. Do sigmas go down into, say, the upper 80s or low 90th percentiles? Or should I just interpret him as a very minor alpha who is highly introverted ? His son is easy to grasp, he's a solid Bravo.
For a pastor, he's been pretty itinerant. But he's been at this church he started for a while now. He shows a lot of sigma markers, but I suppose it's possible that he's naturally a Bravo that's just disgusted with highly dysfunctional hierarchies and who is missing an Alpha.
Normally I think of Sigmas and Alphas as being very high up in the status hierarchy---higher than me, like at say the 96th percentile and up. What I'm asking is should I think of someone who has significant sigma traits but who I evaluate somewhere in the 88th to about 92nd or so percentile status as a sigma, as a very low end alpha, or something else? If he was the kind of guy who played well in hierarchies, the answer would be easy---he'd be a Bravo. But he's not.
The SSH is fractal. It's present when you zoom in and zoom out.
You can have an Alpha in a small group of 3-4 men, and you can have an Alpha in a crowd of thousands. You can collect a big group of Alphas, and someone is going to stand out as The Alpha of the group.
So your pastor could be a Sigma ... though bear in mind that a pastor is a leader role and he's acting as an Alpha in a spiritual hierarchy. I'd default to Alpha unless he has a habit of getting kicked out of churches for not playing well with the deacons/elders.
He does in fact have such a habit. That's a big part of why he started his own church. He just strikes me as having social status more akin to what I recognize as Bravo than what I recognize as Sigma. But perhaps he's just a low end Sigma.

I really liked the examples and feel like it could even be kind of game to go around different scenarios and think about the behaviour of each SSH level! It could go on forever. I hope Vox can just keep tending the garden and we might have less retardery muddying the waters as time goes on.
I think what a lot of low status men don't get is that life is not binary. I myself may react differently in a comparable situation, depending on who else is involved and if I care enough about it. There are plenty of qualifiers to social situations in my experience. And while there definitely is a tendency, it's not a 100 % of the times kind of situation usually. At least for me.

Vox, can you shed more light on how to reconcile the fractal nature of the SSH vs the static long term patterns?
Broken clock - twice a day
retarded squirrel - ocasional nut
etcetera.
If meeting one apsect of a ssh status doesn't prove you are that status, then Vox's arranged marriage doesn't prove he is not in fact an omega.
Don't you have better things to do ?

Gammas like you are amusing; going full retard just to make a snide remark.
Vox is an antisocial retard as proven by this post.
Please elaborate! I love reading cringe
If driven to deep psychoanalysis over an interpersonal triviality…
The two Ss may be too many moving parts for some. But they’re both essential. Posers like to avoid the second one because it’s too objective.
I'm a shmigma shmale. Your hierarchy can't contain me.
If you're a shemale, then you're a lambda.

The last paragraph is useful advice as is working on improving yourself on superficial qualities within your control.

He's probably just an introverted Bravo. If he's settled down and running a church, he's obviously not a Sigma. Sigmas are itinerant.

Can omegas be itinerant? Are there any other ranks that value self-direction over security to a similar extent as the sigma?
Hobo?
I hope to see more content on omegas.

What does 'low' mean in this series of stories?

That's incorrect. The hierarchy is fractal. There aren't necessarily any Sigmas or Omegas relative to the others. They are outside the hierarchies.

This is how I feel when the thread starts to accumulate comments of high-SSH self-assessment.
