Analysing male archetypes - part 1
 
Introduction
There is a lot of talk around here about prettyboys, mascmaxxers, ogres and the like. It becomes exceedingly complex to cleanly understand what these archetypes refer to, as posters often use different words to refer to the same concepts, or have twisted views of what an archetype is, often mistaking one for the other, or showing doubts regarding what is attractive to who.
I propose a spectrum that will simplify understanding the degrees of masculinity and attractiveness of the most common male archetypes.

The spectrum
Cutecel - Prettyboy - Robust Prettyboy - Maesthetic - Dom - Ogre

View attachment 1818522Cutecel
Main features:
Cutecels are characterized by extremely low dimorphism and extremely high youthfulness; they usually have perfect skin, perfect hair quality/quantity, and very frail, immature physiques, and no facial hair whatsoever.
These factors make them highly appealing to teenage girls, who would be intimidated by more masculine, dimorphic and mature archetypes. They represent a safe way to be introduced to romance and sexuality, however they begin quickly losing female appeal as girls approach the end of puberty.

View attachment 1818504Prettyboy
Main features:
Prettyboys share many commonalities with Cutecels, with a caveat; they present some dimorphic features that are unseen in Cutecels. For example, while they also have good skin and hair, their faces have slightly more pronounced dimorphic features; a more chiseled jawline, more deep-set eyes, overall sharper facial structure.
Their body, while not muscular by any means, is usually more slender than frail, and they are generally taller than cutecels as well. This combination of masculine and feminine features grants prettyboys unmatched appeal with young women, although many older women may consider them too immature for their taste.

View attachment 1818508Robust Prettyboy
Main features: Prettyboys that double down on dimorphic features may enter Robust Prettyboy territory; these prettyboys may present some additional dimorphic features such as facial hair (kept relatively short), but the main difference is an overall increased muscularity and sense of physical dominance. While their physique is generally still very lean, proportionate and slender, they tend to have a more pronounced V-shape and increased levels of perceived bodily dominance and athleticism than normal prettyboys. This proves to be beneficial, as their appeal is more long-lived than prettyboys, at the cost of being slightly more intimidating to very young women.

View attachment 1818511Maesthetic
Main features: While the prettyboys described so far generally tend towards femininity, the Maesthetic archetype is starkly masculine, with a broad face, strong facial features, and brawny proportions. Although not as "pretty" as the aforementioned archetype, the Maesthetic men are still known to present many striking features and a high level of harmony and beauty, with clear skin, thick healthy hair, and an overall groomed and respectable look.
Neatly trimmed facial and body hair is more common, although a clean shaven face highlighting a masculine, powerful jaw is a typical hallmark of this archetype's appeal.
The Maesthetic archetype is a mainstay of male attractiveness, and many Hollywood actors perfectly fit this archetype; as such, it represents the quintessential concept of male "handsomeness" and enjoys success with women of all ages, albeit their increased level of masculinity makes them less-than-ideal among young women.

View attachment 1818512Dom
Main features: Unsurprisingly, Doms are all about dominance. Muscular bodies, thick beards, body hair, tough demeanour, tattoos and a tan are all very common among Doms. This archetype embodies raw masculinity and danger; it relies on a rugged exterior, a rough voice, and a commanding presence to elicit primal responses in women. Dom is an archetype reserved to older, more mature men, as many of the features that are required come with age, and as such it is very popular with older women; however, this archetype can also somtimes be perceived as low-class by women from cultured backgrounds, and its association with maturity makes it often unappealing or excessively intimidating for young women.

View attachment 1818533Ogre
Main features: Ogres are characterized by extreme levels of dimorphism; they are often bald or wear very short hair, almost always sport a thick beard, and have exceptionally bulky bodies. Although not all Ogres are aggressive, the archetype is extremely intimidating, and presents few appealing features for the female gaze, namely height and size. As such, the ogre is by far the least popular archetype among young women, although its unmatched social dominance proves to garner some success among older women, who are generally less interested in youthfulness.
