That’s sort of the point. He’s hygienic, nice clothes and hair, makes a lot of money, and very fit but that’s really it. It’s all material success but no moral or emotional success
Of the movie, yes. But I thought that whole “sigma male” fad was for so called alpha male influencers giving their mostly awkward and shy audience an out instead of alpha lone wolf type guys that stay away from social circles out of their own free will and are content on their own, never losing their cool and composed persona. Bateman is anything but that, he’s impulsive, petty, envious, can’t control his emotions, is frustrated when he can’t stand up for himself in conversation and desperately craves the admiration of his peers.
