Analysing male archetypes - part 1 (theory)
By @thebuffdon690
Intro:
Class in session. Welcome back to another thread guys today we will be discussing the male archetypes spectrum in relation to attracting the opposite sex. I planned to release this thread in a few weeks but I know I will get busy with uni so I will just release this thread now and release the following parts in the coming months, alongside some other stuff too.
I really enjoy making these threads also it’s more of a hobby / pastime of mine than a chore, it doesn’t feel like rotting but ofc it still is unfortunately. Hopefully that can change in the future for us with the help of the knowledge I try to provide in these threads.
This thread was also inspired by @BucketCrab thread in BOTB, which I got the inspiration from. I will just be emulating the layout for it and adjusting it for all of these archetypes that I am about to discuss in this thread.
I believe this can help a lot of people here who are looksmaxxers but don't have a direction to head in for their looks outside of the basic stuff that is discussed in this forum. I will be discussing a total of 30 archetypes in this 3 part thread series, since I have nothing better to do than rot at home for the time being, however i will use this time wisely to research this stuff for mainly myself so that I know exactly which archetype to go for in the future and to help the members here figure this out to.
Its also important to note that some people can fit into multiple archetypes, since most of them are similar but tweaked slightly. However its important to analyse all of them to understand exactly which ones do well etc in specific avenues and which ones don't to gain an understanding of which one to go for.
also sticky threads mods?
Note: factors used below - harmony, dimorphism, body fat factors and miscellaneous.
Archetypes:
1. Low trust dark triad
example: Ian Somerhalder
- most important factor: misc
- characteristics: more pale complexion, darker features in general, alluring smirk, darker eye colour (but light also works) higher dimorphism, more striking (maybe).
- male respect: ⬤⬤
moderate to lower levels of respect from men since men with dark triad traits may exhibit features that signal dominance or threat, such as intense eye contact or cold expressions. While these traits can attract attention, they may also reduce trustworthiness and approachability,
leading to lower respect among other men who value reliability in social interactions, particularly around women of course.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤
higher levels of female attention from younger age demographics, however older demographics will still give attention but just slightly less. You may receive attention however from lower class women just looking for a fling due to the combination of being low trust and dark triad at the same time, so go for this archetype if you want to succeed in that endeavour.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 3
- Theory: characterised by striking dark features, which usually stems from a high softmax score catering to misc features such as dark hair (which can be dyed), thick brows, long appealing lashes, more pale complexion or a tan its quite a broad range in terms of colouring.
This is also where eye colour is also quite subjective, since a lighter colour such as a striking green can contrast very well with darker features, however so can darker colours such as T50s, that can contrast very well with lighter features such as a more pale complexion.
- Best suited for: short term interactions across all age groups
2. low trust light triad
Example: Paul walker
- most important factor: misc
- characteristics: lighter features - lighter complexion, hooded/hunter eyes, lighter eye colour, lighter hair colour etc, striking.
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤
higher levels of male respect than dark triad since they wont be on edge as much of you trying to steal their girl or something, but still cautious as it could happen the lighter features will still subconsciously mould their intuition to a more relaxed state of mind in this aspect, which can help if you want to double cross someone to rock this archetype. but its not necessary.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤
will usually have higher levels female attention than their dark triad counterparts since the light triad component fosters
higher levels of trust amongst older age groups, hence factoring in a larger variety of women that would be receptive to that particular element in the archetype. However this will not increase by too much since of course they are still low trust.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 5
- Theory: characterised by lighter features, whilst still maintaining the low trust element of their looks. misc plays the largest role and can be influenced heavily
to control for various light triad factors such as: hair colour which can be a lighter brown to blondish, a lighter eye colour preferably blue or light green, and of
course a lighter skin complexion, a fairer to light complexion such as pale or maybe a lighter porcelain e.g.
Higher collagen levels also help maintain the light triad aspect as it enhances natural beauty and youth which can enhance perceptions of trust and associative personality traits to attract younger - middle age demographics.
- Best suited for: short term fling which leads into an LTR across all age groups.
3. High trust dark triad
Example: Siva Kaneswaran
- most important factor: harmony
- characteristics: higher harmony %, darker features as discussed above, less striking. Leaner face (to reveal high trust features).
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤⬤
higher levels of male respect since the high trust component also applies to men on average, since they are also influenced
by perceived physical appearance character traits, but perhaps more subconsciously.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
higher levels of attention across all age groups, assuming that the said person moulds into their looks as time goes on and starts to appeal to the older age demographics. tbh this kind of applies to every archetype too, but especially with high trust to maintain that foundational component for appeal.
This is a very good archetype to go for since (on average) the high trust component enables higher levels of trust obviously amongst women, whereas the dark triad component maintains that allure and mystery to entice them further into the relationship.
So essentially the high trust works as a catalyst to fuel the relationship, whereas the dark triad creates the foundation for the overall interest. Very good dual features which works extremely well in synergy for attraction.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 7.5
- Theory: characterised by darker features, similar to number 1, but of course with high trust appeal. This is why harmony is the most important metric in determining if someone can be placed within this archetype, as if your base isn't subject to qualities of trust and likeability from a women's perspective, then it will be very hard to emulate this through softmaxxing (not impossible though) and increasing your dimorphism or getting lean etc.
Its of course hard to quantify, but it is usually characterised (harmony part) by high harmony score (above 70%) as to look warm and normal, with fuller lips, a more attractive smile, bit more visible UEE, a lighter skin complexion with lighter eyes (not necessary though eyes can also
be darker) and very high levels of collagen which portrays youth - which is often associated with higher trust characteristics.
- Best suited for: short term which will transition to LTR which maintains long term across all age groups. LTR on its own as well. Marriage.
4. High trust light triad
Example: Vasilly Stepanov
- most important factor: harmony
- characteristics: same as above but with lighter features.
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤⬤
moderate levels of male respect because the high trust factor again will make them trust you more and see you as less of a threat paired with the light triad features, but also they could feel you to be less masculine because of the double pairing. This should not be as much of an issue though as say a pretty boy archetype in terms of respect.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
similar but high levels of female attention across all age groups, since they will be enticed by the light triad features as it is more visually appealing but perhaps less stimulating for them then the dark triad one. Again the high trust will also maintain the LTR if thats your goal.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 8
- Theory: same as above but obviously paired with light triad physical traits instead, so lighter hair colour, lighter eyes,
lighter complexion etc. This is great for LTR ofc for obvious reasons, so rock this archetype if you want that.
- Best suited for: normal short - LTR across all age groups.
5. Pretty boy - high trust, light triad
Example: young DiCaprio
- most important factor: harmony
- characteristics: softer features oriented for the pretty boy archetype - longer wavy styled hair, lighter features, less striking, a very lean face.
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤
lower levels of male respect as they will feel you to be less masculine because of the triple pairing this time. So when rocking this archetype at any age its better to be cautious of your social groups as this will be more likely to occur.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤
similar but high levels of female attention across all age groups except the older ones, since they will again be enticed by the light triad features as it is more visually appealing but perhaps less stimulating for them then the dark triad one.
again the high trust will also maintain the LTR, but only for the first 2 age groups, you may have less attention across the older ones since they ofc don't prefer pretty boys as much when they age, although its still at 3 bars because depending on their situation if they need an LTR more, than the light triad high trust can act as a good commodity for fostering higher trust levels and commitment for them, but it really depends on their preferences.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 9
- Theory: same as above but obviously paired with pretty boy physical traits instead, so same as above with the lighter hair colour, lighter eyes, lighter complexion etc. But also relatively less bone mass as to not look too intimidating and break away from the pretty boy league.
- Best suited for: LTR with younger age groups
6. Pretty boy - high trust, dark triad
Example: young Johnny Depp
- most important factor: harmony/misc
- characteristics: same as above but with darker features instead. longer lashes for appeal. Can rock jewellery also (although this is more suited for lower trust archetypes).
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤
same as above essentially. it may even be worse since the dark triad paired with the pretty boy aspect is a deadly combo in this regard, since men will more likely to be wary of your presence due to the enticement your archetype gives off. Just watch 21 jump street with prime Depp its a good example of what to expect.
obviously this is a tv show but they specifically design the script in a way which matches johny depp's character archetype within the show, which is dark triad high trust pretty boy. He is constantly disrespected by dudes in his presence who fear he will take their girl or something, but also just his general looks.
He also gets with a dudes girlfriend in the second episode lol. This is what you can expect if you rock this “bad boy” archetype, or at least it’ll be easier.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤
similar but high levels of female attention across all age groups except the older ones, since they will not be enticed by the dark triad features as they have already dealt with those during their younger years. combined with the high trust this a deadly failo for this archetype in attracting older women, as they will just see you as a little boy instead of a man, even assuming if you age well. Most girls who simp for Depp as an example are a lot younger, we hardly ever see older women simping for him tbh.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 8
- Theory: same as above but the reason I say that harmony and misc are equal in being the most important factor for this archetype is that you need the harmony for the high trust aspect as discussed before, but you can shape your misc features in a way which caters more towards the dark triad and pretty boy aspect, such as the way you style your hair, your hair colour, eye colour, with darker eyes being preferred, and a more pale - tan skin complexion.
This archetype is a lot more suited for guys who want to attract prime women but still maintain that LTR with them even after the initial interaction.
- Best suited for: short term which transitions into an LTR across younger age groups.
7. Pretty boy - low trust, dark triad
Example: Damian Kater
- most important factor: harmony / misc
- characteristics: same as discussed before with the dark triad and pretty boy stuff, but with lower trust features such as being more striking, rocking jewellery and a light stubble, essentially components which enhance your sex appeal.
- male respect: ⬤⬤
same as above, but lower since the low trust aspect will just make it way harder for men to trust you combined with everything else.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤
highest levels of female attention across the younger age groups, but virtually non-existent as they get older.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 4
- Theory: same as above but with a few key differences. for those who want to attract prime women with no strings attached, this is the absolute best archetype you can go for. this is because the low trust paired with dark triad and pretty boy features makes for a lethal triple combo in terms of allure, mystery and attraction.
the low trust will entice them along with the dark triad, and the pretty boy aspect will make them more physically attracted to you, case point damian kater in his YT vids. Higher collagen levels are also necessary for the pretty boy factor. Alongside this, the reason kater is considered lower trust is because of his harmony, in that he looks relatively more striking compared to other pretty boys,
and I guess he squintmaxxes sometimes too, which you can pull off if done right. combine this with the ear jewellery and light stubble he rocks in his vids, makes him lower trust compared to the aforementioned archetypes.
- Best suited for: short term interactions across younger age groups.
8. Pretty boy - low trust, light triad
Example: Tom Hutch
- most important factor: harmony / misc
- characteristics: same as above but with lighter features. Hunter/hooded eyes over almond (although not necessary if everything else is considered lower trust also).
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤
same as above, but slightly more because of the light triad aspect.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤
not as much attention as the previous one but still very high across the younger age groups.
- perceived trust score (for LTR): 4
- Theory: same as above but with light triad features instead, as discussed before.
- Best suited for: Short term fling / interaction transitioning into normal - LTR across all age groups, if you desire for it to.
9. Robust pretty boy
Example: young Henry Cavill
- most important factor: dimorphism
- characteristics: higher dimorphism, pretty boy features as discussed above, irrespective of being light or dark triad and trust levels.
- male respect: ⬤⬤⬤⬤
moderate levels of respect due to the masculine element of having higher levels of dimorphism. and then being perceived as more friendly due to the pretty boy factor makes for a good combo in this regard.
- female attention: (16-20) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(20-30) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤
(30-40+) - ⬤⬤⬤⬤
relatively high levels of attention across all age groups. If we use Henry Cavill as an example, his younger self would
be most attractive to the 20-30 age group, and less to the 16-20 one although still high, since they usually prefer pretty
boys with less masculine traits compared to the older groups.
then as cavill got older he became much more masculine physically and shifted his attention to the older age groups with increasing levels of dimorphism. so this is ideal if you want a relatively stable level of attention across all age groups as you age, to pull this archetype off.
- perceived trust score: 6
- Theory: higher levels of dimorphism than a pretty boy, which is best suited for both short term and long term interactions.
- Best suited for: short term and long term interactions across all age groups (hook-ups and LTRs).
Conclusion:
Thats it for part 1 thanks for reading! I spent ages editing this so a rep / comment would be appreciated!
Part 2 will come out quicker if there is enough hype for it, so let me know, also if you want to be added to the tags list lmk.
