To be a sigma man, one must be able to be internally strong. Emotionally wise and intellectually knowledgeable. The trait “chivalry” means the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, namely courage, honour, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak:

In the past, men were the rulers in the most traditional sense of the word. They were the head of the family, they were the warriors. They were knights, samurai, and hunters.
*''Travel to Neptune and discover a metropolis unlike any you've explored in Destiny 2. Meet the Cloud Striders, join the fight against the [[Shadow Legion]], and prevent devastation in the technologically advanced secret city of [[Neomuna]].'' - Lightfall DLC page brief summary of Neptune's city in respective stores.
 
What I mean by hunters is that they used to hunt for food for their families. During the time of resettlement in America for example, during the earliest years of the county's western history, many families were given incentives to relocate to western unpopulated states and set up their homes. These self built farms were known as homesteads. They were remote in the middle of the vast and harsh winds of the dry and atmospheric prairie. The husbands and fathers would therefore hunt for food and be the sole providers for their family. Being honourable, gallant and wise were popular qualities that men strived to achieve in the past. I recommend the tv show Little house on the prairie... This gives a glimpse into how life was in the past of American history.
 
During the English olden days, great gentlemen and upper class nobles carried an air of sophistication and bravery. Their presence was powerful…. Not only because they were rich, but because they understood how to conduct themselves towards women. Men are more powerful when they are able to be chivalrous and composed. This is why in order to be the most powerful man that comes across as a force to be reckoned with and respected … qualities such as wisdom, politeness and self respect (the ability to speak your mind without sounding conceited)... are things you should establish within yourself and the way you conduct yourself.
 
I have seen many say that being a powerful sigma means that you should treat women like trash… but this only makes you look unattractive, weak and like a loser who will never get anywhere. showing extreme anger looks childish, unattractive and ugly.
 
A man must act with the manner of an aristocrat , the bravery of a knight, and the wisdom of a king. His presence must show he is all knowing, and someone who can brave any storm. He must treat women in a chivalrous manner. Like a teacher he must be able to have the knowledge to guide and look after those whom he knows are weaker and in need of his help. Being powerful means you have the ability to protect those who are weaker than you.
 
These are the most powerful qualities of the sigma man.
 
People often associate "simping" with being “nice to women". But "simping" is when someone acts pathetic in order to get attention.
 
"Simping" means to act needy, to act like you are desperate for attention. Basically simping is when you have nice guy syndrome and you are the guy who thinks he is entitled to being liked in a relationship. This is the opposite to being a strong gentleman
 
Instead being sigma should mean that a man has self confidence but also compassion. He can be a gentleman but also a warrior. He doesn't care what others think of him… and he does what he likes. He doesn't act desperate for attention. instead he acts with sophistication, maturity and indifference. He doesn't care if he is the outcast.... because in the mind of a man who has it all within himself , he has no need for rules to show him the way to behave. His path is his own... and whoever wishes to follow him... he will protect throughout his journey.
 
Being chivalrous and gentlemanly towards women are the greatest strengths and characteristics that makes a man cool and stand out above the rest in terms of his quality. He can be badass but also has the ability to be protective, gentle and wise.
 
Thomas Shelby is a great character that these ideals are based on. He treats the woman he loves as if he was a gentleman… he is able to show his heart. He is badass, and says what he likes, but he shows he has the ability to be protective and wise. He is calm, composed yet a rebel who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He makes people feel safe around him even though he can be ruthless towards his enemies.
 
A few characters from the media which defines the qualities that I am describing include. If your interested these films allow for interesting character studies
 
Sean Connery's character mark Rutland from Marnie (1964)
 
Timothy Dalton as Edward Rochester from jane eyre
 
James dean from rebel without a cause
 
Marlon Brando from the wild one
 
Poldark ~ he is rebel but also is heroic
 
Robert redford in this property is condemned
 
Eugene onegin
 
Marlon Brando as captain fletcher from mutiny on the bounty (1962)
 
the king and I
 
Lord Ravenswood from the book "the bride of Lammermoor" Witten by sir Walter scot
 
these are a few programs which show chivalrous and strong lead characters. the term Byronic hero tends to be a common label for this type of character.
