Next we will discover the 9 (plus 1) archetypes of seduction to begin this journey to self-knowledge and personal development.

1. The Siren

Inaccessible, divine, lovely. There is only one in a group of friends. It is close and at the same time distant. It is the muse of the poets, the girl who makes the rulers lose their heads. Robert Greene says that Cleopatra It was one of them We will detect a Sirena by its gestures, its delicacy, its dress very similar to that of the goddesses.

2. The Libertine

Very associated with the figure of the "macarra", makes live unique experiences. Among the different types of seducer, the tough guy never goes out of style. Transgressive and confident, he knows that his charm comes from the most primal instincts. Live to the limit, skipping all the rules so that the adrenaline runs through your body. If you have to kiss, kiss safely. If he has to look at you, he goes deep into you. It is capable of making you commit all the follies that you can not imagine because nothing can happen to your side.


3. The Ideal Lover

Expert of illusionism; everything in him is artifice. Create perfect romances, without fissures. It is capable of making women feel comfortable and desired. Everything in it is a written function to seduce the most demanding ladies. He dominates the context, he knows how to speak, but above all he listens. Everything is perfect because he makes it perfect. If he invites you to a dinner he will delight you with his best cook skills; If he invites you to take a walk, he will choose the best landscape, the best decoration.

4. The Dandy

Unclassifiable, androgynous, elegant, ironic ... like the Libertine, it will make you feel free. It is one of the most dynamic and unpredictable types of seducer. Play with masculinity and femininity. You can never define it because when you think about it, it has already changed. They use their physical appearance to suggest, like the Siren. Master the social skills perfectly as the Ideal Lover, but when you try to classify it, it disappears. If you try to understand, you get confused ... Robert Greene says that Rodolfo Valentino He was one of the most important Dandys.


5. The Candid

He is a naive and playful child. Society has not managed to tame it. Mozart was one of them. It makes the difficult seem easy. For him everything looks like a game. The candid possesses the inoffensive charm of babies and the subversive skills of the rogue. It has a magnetic unconsciousness. It is impossible to be angry with him because he has no malice.

6. The Coqueta

This archetype is attributed to girls but there can also be flirtatious girls. When you go, she comes back . Cancel the appointments. It appears at the most unexpected moment. He is always late for his appointments if he has not decided to give you a sit-down. The more you manage to get your attention, the less you want it. If you persecute her, you are lost. If you try to ignore it, you will despair.

7. The Enchanter

The seduction without sex . It will give you what you want without asking for anything in return. He will know how to flatter you and make you feel comfortable. Master the context and feel that next to him you can be calm. It will not do or say anything that can leave you in evidence. It seems that sex does not interest you, you will not distrust him. They show themselves as a friend; they understand you, they listen to you, they help you, they know how to advise you and content you. All this stratagem will help you to appreciate them and ask yourself a question: do you like it or do not like it? Sometimes it will seem so and sometimes it will seem that you are just friends. But the truth is that if you ask yourself this question you will already have fallen into their networks.

8. The Charismatic

It is the center of attention. Everyone wants to be close to him because he is a spring of laughs and fun . Nobody gets bored around him. It is easy to detect because at parties always has a lot of people around listening and laughing with their occurrences. It is safe and confident. He knows how to thrill. When he speaks he does not inform, he inspires. He would be a great politician or a great comedian or a great storyteller. Master the art of communication. It has all those attributes that others do not have.

9. The Star

Attractive and stylish. They have a life that others do not have. It is the archetype of celebrities. His singular and unusual life is a magnet for all. His life is eccentric and always surprises you. Enter places where they would never let you in if you did not go with him. But not everything in it is luxury. He is also passion for his own life and for his abilities. Being by his side will make you escape from the mundane and vulgar. It will make you live an endless number of experiences that only he can offer you. The archetype of the Star is synonymous with glamor.

These are the archetypes defined by Robert Greene in The Art of Seduction. You must discover which one resides in you. Explore yourself and analyze which one you fit in. We all fit into one of them. And if this is not the case, surely we are fitting into this last archetype.

10. The Anti-seducer

Insecure, self-centered, unsympathetic: repellents. They do not know how to communicate. They are angry with the world. They have little or no knowledge of social skills. They do not know when they are left over. They do not know when they are needed. They are inopportune. They talk when they should not and they keep quiet when they have to talk. They have an excess of confidence or, on the contrary, they do not have any confidence.

Luckily, one can escape this archetype. You just have to enhance personal charisma and social skills. A good way to start is to work on self-esteem and overcome shyness. And another way is to take a look at my article on 'How not to link'.
