The Complete Middle Eastern Archetype-Maxxing Guide (also West Asia + South Asia)

[iranicpsycho]

Since there aren’t as many resources for Middle Easterners (Including West Asians, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc.), here’s a guide on the archetypes you should try to maximize your looks into.​

The Habibi:

This archetype is most likely ideal for people who come from these backgrounds:

Ideally all Gulf Arabs, Iraqis, and Kurds in some cases. This archetype is generally compatible in all middle eastern populations, however this is the most go-to archetype for these regions circled.​

Think of the stereotypical arab:
-Usually the mustache + goatee combo
-Dark, thick, curly hair
-Typically a dark olive skin tone however, lighter ones also work great
-Ideally less prominent not-hooked nose

Examples:

Appeal by demographics of women:
White women: 5/10
Black women: 7/10
Asian women: 3/10
Hispanic women: 10/10
Middle Eastern/North African/West Asian women: 9/10
South Asian women: 8/10

I would argue that Latinas like this archetype more than middle eastern women themselves - they fetishize the hell out of Arab men. This archetype has a pretty well-rounded appeal when it comes to age, however it does best with younger (16-20). The absolute dead giveaway that you should maxx out into this archetype is if you have curly hair and can only grow a mustache-goatee combo. ​

The Prince:

This archetype is most likely ideal for people who come from these backgrounds:

Ideally Turkish, Syrian, Persian, Kurdish, and other Levantine populations. Possible, but less commonly, Afghan and Pakistani populations.​

The goal here is to pass as a Southern European, often achieved with:
- a medium length flow hairstyle or any hairstyle emphasizing volume. Ideally wavy or straight hair.
- Light facial hair (usually stubble beard), thick dense eyebrows
- Usually a slightly longer facial width to height ratio, with a prominent nose with hooked tendencies, deep set almond eyes
- Versatile medium olive skin tone; light in some contexts and medium tan in others

Examples:

(Yes I know it’s a fictional character but he has a middle eastern passing phenotype)

Appeal by demographics of women:
White women: 5/10
Black women: 6/10
Asian women: 4/10
Hispanic women: 7/10
Middle Eastern/North African/West Asian women: 10/10
South Asian women: 10/10

All in all, this archetype generally appeals most to women aged in early 20s to late 20s. This can somewhat vary depending on race. Ideally people with deep set almond eyes, big noses, and dark hair should work themselves into this archetype. ​

Mountainous Region Mogger:

The reason why I like to call it this corny ass name is because people who are from regions with mountains usually best fit into this archetype. Pakistanis, Afghans (Pashtuns), Persians, and sometimes Kurds. Can also be Caucasus populations in select-few cases.​

This archetype in theory is a bit similar to the prince. However the key difference is:
-The eye area is typically less deep-set and has less round tendencies. Think of it like this - the eyes are closer to "hunter eyes" than they are to "doe eyes" giving an overall more striking look instead of friendly.
-The skin tone is typically darker on average - dark olive to even golden brown skin tone
-Prominent noses, thick eyebrows and overall hair density are ideal
-Usually more facial hair than the prince archetype (full beard)

Examples:

Appeal by demographics of women:
White women: 2/10
Black women: 6/10
Asian women: 4/10
Hispanic women: 6/10
Middle Eastern/North African/West Asian women: 10/10
South Asian women: 10/10

Very underrated archetype that I don't see many people use to its full potential. Think of unknown Pashtun moggers and thats what you're essentially going for. The only downside could be that it has the most niche appeal to women compared to these other phenotypes. Typically appeals to older ages (22+)
​

The White Passing:

Most commonly seen in syria, turkey, Lebanon, Palestine, however realistically it could really be anywhere. Middle Easterns are diverse and always have outliers who can pass for white.
​

This is an extremely versatile archetype. One of the best things you can do is really just white-maxx:
-Get a proper classy haircut, usually a voluminous middle part, side part, or hell even flow.
-Usually always a dirty-blonde hair color. Colored eyes
-Very light complexion, LIGHT OR NO FACIAL HAIR
-Straight eyebrows, lower set/less prominent cheekbones compared to typical middle easterns

Examples:

Appeal by demographics of women:
White women: 7/10
Black women: 6/10
Asian women: 7/10
Hispanic women: 5/10
Middle Eastern/North African/West Asian women: 8/10
South Asian women: 8/10

As you can see, this archetype is the most well rounded of these in terms of appeal. One negative is that this appeals most to younger women (16-20), however you can definitely still see success in your late 20s. Realistically these people end up evolving as they reach their thirties, into a more mature look.


Hopefully this was helpful to somebody out there, since I know theres a lack of guidance for young Middle Eastern men specifically. And sorry to the North Africans because I know you weren't included in this guide much, however I feel like theres a lot of nuances to your phenotypes and you guys are genetically further off for me to be knowledgable. ​
