I’m the real thing, a true 100% pure breed Sigma Male. Balance of independence and responsibility is a significant issue for someone like me.
The “Sigma Male” is a term used to describe a man who is independent, self-sufficient, and often uninterested in traditional relationships.
This type of man has become increasingly popular in recent years and is often seen as a symbol of strength and self-reliance. During my entire life, I claimed to be a Free Soul. It was only in 2021 via Twitter that I encountered the concept of Sigma Male. It was crazy to understand that I fit into a bucket, like every personality type. It was a brutal wake-up call for a Free Soul like me to realize I’m not so unique. There are others like me out there. Apparently, we are a rare breed. I don’t know where the ratio of 0.02% comes from, but it’s very telling. I could understand who is a true Free Soul from miles away, but now I’m learning to smell real Sigma Males like myself. Since the Sigma Male is very appealing, many men pretend to be one. Not so fast, cowboy; let’s talk first to check if you are missing a few screws.
While the sigma male is admired for his independence, he may struggle to balance this with the responsibilities of fatherhood.
Fatherhood is a significant responsibility that requires a man to prioritize his family’s needs over his own. At the end of the ’90s, I had to decide if I keep living as the Lone Wolf or find my partner for life. At 34 years old, my mind was set forever on a girl I had known since high school. We had a son in 2000; my daughter was born ten years later.
While the Sigma Male values his autonomy, he must learn to balance this with the responsibility of providing for his children.
Fathers must be able to provide emotional support, financial stability, and a stable home environment for their children.
This can be a difficult adjustment for a man who is used to living an independent lifestyle.
For sure, it has also been challenging for my family to adjust.
Being a husband and father who doesn’t behave like everybody else is not easy for a wife and kids.
I had to adjust but didn’t sacrifice what was best for me. Even if nobody understands, I don’t care. For example, I’m still competing in UCI Downhill Mountain Bike Master World Championship, and I aim to win the gold medal at 60.
Downhill Mountain Biking is one of the most dangerous sports, and it’s not normal to ride as I do after 50 years old. You can check out SpadLuv on Youtube. I documented when I started at 45 years old, and you will see me riding with pro riders, Olympic champions, and a legend of the sport. I wanted to post all the crashes and fails, but nowadays, crashes are rare and are more damaging.
To successfully balance independence and responsibility, the sigma male must first learn to recognize and prioritize his needs. It would be best if you were extremely selfish. If I’m doing well, goodness will spread around me. This point will be explored in detail on the podcast because it is a key to my good life and true happiness.
Being positively selfish means ensuring I have enough time to pursue my interests and goals while still caring for my family’s needs.
My duty as a man is to provide for my family. I must ensure that I am financially stable and able to overcome business ordeals efficiently. Otherwise, my freedom is impacted, and my family will suffer.
Finally, the Sigma Male must learn to be emotionally available for his children; the sigma male must also recognize the importance of communication and collaboration. He should strive to be a team player in his family and learn to listen to and respect the opinions of others.
By practicing cooperation, he will be better equipped to handle the challenges of fatherhood.
Additionally, the Sigma Male should set boundaries and establish rules with his children. This will help him to maintain a sense of control and maintain his independence. The Sigma Male should recognize the importance of self-care.
Being a father is a demanding role and requires much energy. Taking time for himself, such as exercising, spending time with friends, or pursuing hobbies, will help him to stay energized and focused.
By balancing independence and responsibility, the sigma male can be a successful and supportive father. With the right balance, he can maintain his autonomy while still providing for his children.
In addition to balancing independence and responsibility, the Sigma Male must also recognize the importance of community.
As a father, he should strive to build strong relationships with his children’s peers, teachers, and other adults in their lives. This will help him to create a robust support system for his children and provide them with the guidance and support they need.
In my case, I can’t go to parent and teacher meetings. I was educated under the Montessori school system since Kindergarten. I went to a classic high school for a while, but it didn’t work well. Then, I attended one of the best Liberal Arts colleges in the U.S.A., which was the most fantastic experience for figuring out who I am and what I want to become in the future.
My baseline is: One Life, Flat Out, No Fucks Given
Furthermore, the Sigma Male should try to become involved in his children’s school and extracurricular activities.
This will help him to stay connected with his children and give them a sense of security.
I have to admit that I didn’t do enough for my first kid. Since I’m a rugby player, he had to play rugby. It’s a sport that teaches excellent values. I picked him up after practice and attended 90% of the games. However, I improved my relationship with my daughter significantly. The first kid was a tryout, and I got it right now. She loves horse riding. I was riding a lot and competing in show jumping and endurance riding. I cut down on downhill mountain biking and skiing. I bought a horse, and 30 years later, I was back on the saddle. I’m talking about riding a horse and training it from scratch.
Overall, the Sigma Male must recognize the importance of balancing his independence with the responsibility of being a father. By taking the time to prioritize his own needs, establish boundaries, and build relationships, he can be a successful and supportive father while still maintaining his sense of autonomy.
In addition to the tips outlined above, there are a few other essential aspects of being a Sigma Male and father. We need to remain open-minded and understanding of our children. While I may have different values and beliefs than my kids, I must be respectful and supportive of them.
Also, the Sigma Male should strive to stay in tune with his children’s interests and needs. Kids grow up so fast. I always talked to my children like they were adults. Well, now they are adults. It’s weird…
Being engaged and aware of what is going on in their lives will help them to be a supportive and caring father. Keep in touch, and don’t be afraid to address controversial topics. For example, I got smashed for telling my kids that Santa Claus doesn’t exist, but I don’t lie to children.
The sigma male strives to maintain a positive attitude and outlook on life. This will help to be a positive role model for the children and provide them with a sense of security and stability.
