Greene describes specific traits associated with being seductive. To express seductive energy, put yourself into one of the multiple seducer categories.

03:11 The Siren
This type of person is full of sexual energy. They express it openly and know how to use it to gain power.

03:27 The Rake
This type of person completely adores the gender they are attracted to. This desire is infectious and seeps into surrounding people. Unlike most people, Rakes are unrestrained and open to being a slave to their desires. Rakes have a reputation for being sexually successful.

04:02 The Ideal Lover
This type of person appreciates beauty and appearance, and they apply this to romance. Casanova is a perfect example of an Ideal Lover. After meeting a woman, he would study her and follow her moods. He would find out what this woman was missing in her life and provide it.

04:38 The Dandy
Dandies are fluid individuals who are happy to adapt, which makes them attractive. Dandies are exciting because you can't put them into a box. The people they seek to seduce are drawn to them as they display the freedom that other people wish they had.

Naturals are always spontaneous and open. They embody the longed-for qualities of childhood. They are sincere and unpretentious, accepting and joyful. Naturals use sympathy as a way to seduce.

05:21 The Coquette
This type of person is always self-sufficient. They do not need you, and that makes you want them more. People who are easy to seduce are not attractive. As humans, we like a romantic chase.
