Greene's book, Art of Seduction has several seduction archetypes. Which one of these most aligns with your style of game?
The Rake
The rake is a female fantasy figure. Most girls will never admit to being attracted to a rake… but when he turns his attention on them… few will decline his invitation. The rake is usually someone who indulges in all of life’s pleasures. Whether its booze, gambling, drugs, or promiscuity he is always indulging himself. His biggest addiction is women. He can’t control himself around them. He loves each and every one of them. He is a connoisseur of women.
A rake will act towards girls in a completely AFC manner. He will treat them like they are the most special girl in the entire world. He never hides his intention. And most girls already know his intention. They’ve heard the stories about his conquests. They probably know another girl he has screwed over… but each girl thinks that they will be the one to finally tame him.
But a rake can’t be tamed.
The Ideal Lover
Since they day a girl is born she begins to imagine her night in shining armor. But as a girl grows up, she begins to give up on the idea that this man exists.
The ideal lover plays the part of this man. He comes along and offers the disenfranchised woman romance, adventure, and spiritual communion. He reflects her fantasy.
He is a master at seducing a woman by appealing to her higher self. He has the ability to carefully reconstruct a woman to discover the exact role she longs for a man to play in her life.
The Dandy
The dandy attracts a woman by being ambiguous. He doesn’t fit the stereotypically masculine ideal. He can’t be categorized. He clearly likes women, but gives off a homesexual vibe to most that encounter him. He even seems to indulge in that vibe.
The dandy fashions his image to be a bit mysterious by going above and beyond merely metrosexual. They are completely conscious of their image at all times, and even seem to be more interested in themselves then the women they are seducing. They don’t really seem to care so much about other people.
But the true key to the dandy is their ambiguity. They are both masculine and feminine, disinterested and charming, subtle and outrageous. The inability to categorizes them stirs a strong desire in women.
The Natural
The natural attracts women by transporting a woman to a more innocent time. A natural makes you feel at ease.
A natural has preserved his childish traits that most people lose in adulthood. They are not immature like a child, but instead share a child’s wide eyed spirit, their spontaneity, sincerity, and unpretentiousness. These are all refreshing characteristics in a world of people that become increasingly stuffier with age.
The Coquette
The coquette uses the power of push/pull, hot/cold, and cat on a string theory to the extreme. They have the ability to trap people emotionally by refusing to ever commit themselves fully.
Croquettes are essentially cold and distant creatures, with a sense of detachment at their inner core. They give you a little bit of attention and then swiftly take it away… making you continually crave more.
A croquette is fundamentally narcissistic. They are completely self contained and self involved, and have little need for other people. Which strangely makes people crave their attention.
The Charmer
Charmers are consummate manipulators, masking their cleverness by creating a mood of pleasure and comfort. Their method is simple: they deflect attention form themselves and focus it on their target. They understand their targets spirit, feel their pain, and adapt to their moods.
Once they draw their target in, they make them dependent on them. They do this by becoming a source of pleasure, bringing antagonism into harmony, promoting ease and comfort, showing calmness in the face of adversity, and by making himself useful.
The Charismatic
Charismatic people excite us all. Even as guys we can fall under the spell of charismatic man (not sexually of course)
Charismatic people have an inner quality of self confidence, sexual energy, sense of purpose, contentment-that most people lack and want. This quality radiates outward, permeating the gestures of Charismatics, making them seem extraordinary and superior.
