Is this any greater compliment than being recognized for who and what you really are? Maybe not for a Narcissist – their personalities are imaginary, their true core is uglier than a Dalek outside of its shell – but for any real human being, it’s the exact sort of validation we seek. It was a great compliment when The Alpha Persona described me as “The quintessential sigma.” From his scale: Sigma: The outsider who doesn’t play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow. I’ve found that sigmas and Alphas usually work out to be excellent friends because...
From the eminent Dalrock: I’ll pose the same question back to Ms. Duffy and the commenters who are troubled by the fact that people are angry with the gross injustice which is being done to men, children, and the very institution of marriage: Why don’t you care?
