Sigma male is the rarest type of male in the world, and its also the rarest type in the Bible. In this five-part series, I will be revealing the top five sigmas of the Bible. You won’t believe who made this controversial list—and you’ll be ASTONISHED at who was left off.

First, what is a sigma male? To explain, first I’ll have to tell you about the male archetypes. There are only five types of males (though some people say there are six, or even seven types. But I’m not here to entertain half-baked theories that we can’t even prove. Let’s stick to the model that makes the most sense.)

First, there is the alpha male. The alpha male is a natural leader, and he wants the respect, obedience, and followership of people under him. Some alpha males of the Bible would be King David, King Nebuchadnezzar, and Yahweh.

Male Fact #1: Over 90% of kings are alpha males.

Then there is the Beta male archetype. Betas are submissive to the alphas. King Saul is a rare example of a beta king, as he submits to the prophet Samuel, and wasn’t even supposed to be king of Israel anyway—he was actually put in charge as a punishment for Israel, which makes sense in light of his Beta status.

Then there are gamma and omega males—but these are so unimportant, there are none in the Bible. Believe me, I looked. I’m not sure what a gamma male is, but I know that there are none in scripture.

Male Fact #2: There are 20% more sigma males in the Old Testament than in the New Testament.

So what is a sigma male? The sigma is a lone wolf. He is equal to the alpha in power, leadership, intelligence, and hotness, but he chooses to live outside the social hierarchy. Alphas could never do this, because they derive their power from the status they get from the social hierarchy. Sigmas achieve their power by NOT caring about social hierarchy.

Sigmas are not afraid to find their own path, they are naturally mysterious, and they are really good at grinding.

When writing these posts, I always use the King James Version by Thomas Nelson Bibles, available here. I love the Thomas Nelson KJV typeface, the handsome black leather, and the handy ribbon which helped me keep track of these males. Now, without further delay, let’s discover the Bible’s TOP FIVE SIGNA MALES

#5: Samson

Where he is found: The Book of Judges.

Why he’s Sigma: Samson, from birth, took on a very special grindset called the vow of the Nazarite. As a Nazarite, he would not cut his hair, nor would he drink wine. This was the source of his great strength. I think he was also keto.

Samson, despite being an Israelite, had a love for Philistine women, including Delilah. This showed a willingness to walk his own path, and also a commitment to only dating top-tier women, which are both vital to the sigma male. Readers should note, however, Delilah betrayed Samson—not once, but three times—and she tricked him into revealing the source of his strength. Some scholars suggest that this makes Samson a “simp.”

I decided to give him a place on this list because, at Samson’s first wedding, he asks the guests this riddle: And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle. (Judges 14:14, KJV).

None of the guests are able to answer Samson’s riddle, which refers to a lion he killed, and a swarm of bees which made honey in the lion’s skull. Sigma males are known to be mysterious, and with this riddle, Samson earns his place among the Bible’s TOP FIVE SIGMA’s.
