When it comes to understanding other people’s motivations, Sigma guys are a breed apart. These guys are made differently and think in ways that no one else does. They are very aware of the energy around them and can recognize when someone is not acting in their best interests. Even alpha males blanch in the presence of Sigma guys, knowing that these individuals are well beyond their grasp. Sigma guys do not always trust others immediately away. You can’t truly trick people into believing anything if it’s a hoax. They can quickly read between the lines and recognize when someone is attempting to pull the wool over their eyes. These guys will not accept such conduct and will leave without hesitation.
They make no sacrifices to assist you.
People that really care about you demonstrate their dedication and concern for you via deeds, not just words. True friends have your back while you’re pursuing a goal, experiencing a struggle, or just needing support. They listen, introduce you to key connections, provide candid counsel, and words of support. True friends voluntarily contribute their time, energy, money, and connections to assist you in achieving your goals and overcoming challenges. Fake friends, on the other hand, won’t care to assist unless they can profit; they’re just there for the good times and what they can get from you. When you actually want assistance, they become suddenly too busy or overburdened with their own life. Without a comparable effort, Sigma men see through empty assurances of camaraderie. They admire allies who demonstrate their commitment through deeds rather than simply words. Sigmas screen out imposters and form ties with people who are prepared to make sacrifices for one other’s development and success.
They’re just interested in talking about themselves.
Even if close friends need to vent and speak about themselves from time to time, it becomes an issue when talks devolve into one-sided rants. These self-centered people frequently dominate talks by redirecting any issue back to themselves. When you attempt to relate what’s going on in your life, they just nod before returning the topic to their own difficulties. Any effort to share your struggles or ambitions is received with empathetic remarks before they instantly begin discussing their own. They scarcely notice your contribution, regarding it as a formality. These folks are uninterested in your life; they do not ask serious follow-up questions or recall the facts you provide. They lose interest as soon as the discussion isn’t about them. They are more concerned with having a passive audience than with cultivating a healthy relationship. Sigmas may quickly identify such individuals in their midst and avoid spending their valuable time and energy on those who do not allow for reciprocal sharing. Sigma men enjoy interactions that make both parties feel important.
They assist because they feel forced to do so, not because they really want to.
When you accept their offer, you can typically detect whether these required volunteers are irritated or resentful. They’ll act out, whine about how busy they are, and make it seem as if assisting you is a duty – things that a good assistant would never do. Some even turn to guilt-tripping or making martyr-like statements in order to make you feel awful about seeking assistance. Sigma guys have exceptional awareness and can instantly detect when someone’s offer of assistance is not genuine. They catch up on small indications that indicate whether someone is just performing their job rather than actually trying to assist. Genuine assistance comes from a position of genuine concern and kindness. True friends provide unconditional support without holding grudges or throwing it back in your face later. They see your value and are eager to assist without any hidden purpose or resentment, even if they are unable to assist in a specific scenario. A good friend would be disappointed rather than relieved.
They constantly force you to pay for stuff.
Paying for a dinner or excursion is a wonderful gesture, but when someone is usually conveniently absent when it’s time to pay, it’s a massive red flag. It’s one thing to offer to purchase something for your pals out of kindness, but it’s another when they take advantage of you. You go out with your pals for dinner or drinks, and someone consistently goes out of their way to get the most costly items on the menu without thinking about the expense. They would never do this with their own money, but they don’t hesitate since you’re paying. While Sigma men may fall for it once or twice, they will avoid such persons as soon as they see the trend. It’s not about how much money they have; it’s about what sort of person they are. Taking advantage demonstrates a lack of respect, something sigmas will not allow in their relationships. Being kind is wonderful, but these guys will make certain that their generosity is not taken for granted.
They are always requesting favors.
We all know folks who continuously beg for favors but never provide anything in return. They constantly seem to be the ones with their hands out, pleading for assistance but never repaying the favor. While it’s reasonable to ask close friends and relatives for favors from time to time, some folks go too far and make you feel like you’re at their beck and call. They seldom express gratitude for your assistance, giving you the impression that they take you for granted. This conduct is well-known among Sigma men, and they will not allow it in their own life. They recognize when someone asks for too much and will draw a line in the sand to avoid being taken advantage of. When it comes to relationships, these guys don’t take any risks and will gladly walk away if they suspect someone is attempting to take advantage of them. They value true give and take above one-sided favors and will not be manipulated or controlled by anybody. This sort of person may be difficult to detect at first, but the Sigma sixth sense is constantly active. They can tell when someone’s friendship has run its course and would gladly let it go without looking back. These guys will not be used, even if it means losing a prospective relationship. There’s an old adage that says it’s better to have no friends than phony ones.
They are not on your side.
Unlike other individuals, Sigma men realize that words are cheap and that genuine devotion is shown by deeds, not hollow promises. They pay careful attention to see whether individuals come through for them when it means the most. Fake friends will not defend you when others criticize or insult you; in fact, they will laugh along with the mob at your expense if it raises their social standing. They will not support your career ambitions or assist you when you are in need. True friends, on the other hand, rejoice in your wins, firmly defend you against adversaries, and really endeavor to be there throughout your most difficult tribulations. Sigma guys can recognize who their faithful pals are based on their conduct. If someone abandons you at a difficult moment, their earlier professions of friendship are meaningless. By relying on their excellent judgment, these guys cultivate a close-knit community of dependable associates.
They are not afraid of others disapproving of their decisions, unlike alphas. They know better and aren’t interested in flimsy apologies. They can tell when someone is taking advantage of them and will cut them off without hesitation. On the surface, they look cold-hearted, yet they are truly incredibly sensitive and protective of people close to them. They will not tolerate selfish conduct and are sensitive to any tiny signs that may reveal an ulterior intention. But how can these guys realize when someone is attempting to exploit them? Here are ten suggestions.
They only contact you when it is about them.
One of the simplest ways Sigma may tell if someone is attempting to take advantage of them is if that person only contacts them when they are in need of something. These folks seldom or never contact out to speak or check in on how you’re doing, whether it’s for advice, money, connections, or any other favor. Outside of what you can do for them, they are uninterested in your life, job, or well-being. It’s as if they see the connection as a means to meet their demands rather than as a true friendship. They don’t appreciate you for who you are; they appreciate what you can accomplish for them. And you’ll note that they conveniently disappear from sight and fail to communicate for extended periods of time. But guess who people turn to for aid or advice when they have a problem? Yeah, you Sigma guys keep track of who shows true interest and emotional support and who handles friendship as a business transaction. They filter out one-sided interactions and instinctively gravitate toward those who really care.
They ensure that you are held accountable when things go wrong.
Some individuals will constantly strive to make significant judgments, but you will be held accountable for any blunders. These so-called pals never accept responsibility for anything and are always ready to blame you. They don’t even pause to consider it. They believe they are demonstrating trust by delegating authority to you while remaining in the background. But it’s essentially a strategy for them to maintain power while avoiding accountability. When things go wrong, they have already put up a fail-safe; you are solely responsible. Worse, if things go well, they grab full credit as if they were the only ones who made the choices. True friends would never put you in such a bind, while phony friends simply view you as a piece in their game. Sigma men can detect this kind of conduct and will not tolerate it. Once their actual colors are shown, they will not hesitate to terminate connections. While this may seem to be harsh, it is the only way for children to defend themselves from deceptive individuals.
They only want to hang together when everything is perfect.
People that are trying to take advantage of you will only invite you when it is really convenient for them. Any scheduling difficulty or tiny inconvenience on their end is an excuse to reschedule, yet they still want you to drop everything for last-minute arrangements that fit them. They don’t appreciate you enough to make sacrifices or concessions in order to match calendars, yet they don’t mind demanding your time when it suits them. This demonstrates an extremely lopsided dynamic in which they make all of the rules. True friends, on the other hand, aim to meet halfway and establish mutually agreeable times. If someone only invites you on their conditions, it’s a hint that you’re a backup plan rather than a priority buddy. Sigma guys will see the imbalance instantly and hesitate to make themselves unduly accessible.
They might give you the impression that you are being taken advantage of.
Some individuals frame connections in a way that makes you feel like you’re not doing enough. They make veiled remarks and demonstrate entitlement, blaming you. This artificial guilt drives you to go above and above in order to fulfill excessive standards. To avoid being regarded as a lousy friend, you wind up giving more than you should. In truth, you are being taken advantage of and gaslighted. However, unlike the majority of individuals, Sigma men trust their intuition when it comes to detecting emotional manipulation via nebulous emotions of duty. They avoid circumstances that bring internal perplexity and stress. By following their keen judgment, these guys devote their time entirely to real friends. They don’t let people take advantage of them by using guilt, muddled signals, or conditional availability. Sigmas promote mutual ties that are consistent with their principles.
