What's Your Seduction Type? | Robert Greene & Mikhaila Peterson

Robert Greene provides some insight into his 9 different seduction types. What are you?

The Siren - As a woman, you can portray the ultimate fantasy for a man: an uninhibited, promiscuous, pure symbol of pleasure.
The Rake - As a man, you can speak to the universal female need for desire, attention, and appreciation by showing her you’d do anything for her.
The Ideal Lover - We all have broken dreams. The ideal lover represents the fantasy of those dreams without the disappointment we’re used to from reality, life, and other people.
The Dandy - Most of us are trapped in societal roles. The dandy refuses to play them. By defying all expectations and curating his or her own self-image, the dandy shows us what it means to be free.
The Natural - Our ideals are our childhood selves. Naturals remind us of who we once were – an honest, spontaneous, playful human being – and that’s why they’re attractive.
The Coquette - Coquettes are masters of the bait-and-switch. They raise our hopes, then shoot us down, again and again. Sadly, that only makes them more desirable.
The Charmer - We all like to feel comfortable. In a charmer’s presence, we always are. They lift us up by highlighting our best traits, rather than focusing on presenting themselves.
The Charismatic - Some traits radiate from the inside out. Confidence, purpose, contentment, sexuality, when someone has an intense aura on the outside but stays rather detached, we can’t help but be smitten.
The Star - Most of us want to escape our lives, most of the time. A star allows us to do just that by following them in their crazy, glamorous life that indulges our fantasies.

For me, it's a toss-up between ribeye and filet mignon.

[abishaicampbell]

My type is “the introvert”. I just wait and pray till someone else seduces me.

the mix of star and coquette is DEADLY

[addictedtoelf]

I watched this because somebody I know read this book and described me as the star. I've always described it in my life as being put up on a pedestal as an object of what they believe our relationship is, not what it really is not who I really am. Kind of how a trophy for a marathon is just an idea and doesn't actually have anything to do with running a race. I've always felt like finding new relationships and lovers was no problem, but eventually people drop that "screen" he refers to and either like the real you better, or less than the fantasy that they projected onto you. It's interesting though because I've actually always seen it as a curse, not as some power I should be using to my advantage 🤣

Coquette is definitely the most effective in my experience.

[thomasmaguire]

If you want to be attractive first off you gotta look good physically and second just integrate your shadow. Trying to manipulate people or emulate a seduction archetype is just exhausting and you'll just end up disingenuous.

So I'm like Marlene Dietrich unintentionally, I've always wondered why people who chased me and always initiated contact became distant the moment I get comfortable enough to get out of my shell and show more of what I genuinely am. I concluded I need to be more genuine rather than being molded into someone's expectation or fantasy. I'd rather be admired for what I truly am.

Hard mode: take a little from each one and use it for good.

[matthewbnguyen]

What do you do if you’re a rake but know that having a monogamous relationship is a more meaningful pursuit?

[mickeythompson]

Hey Mikhala. I'm responding to your newsletter email and concerning your move to Tenn due to your allergies. The trick we use here in New Orleans is to go to the French Market and buy local honey. Honey produced from local bees. Helps the body build immunity to local vegetation and overcome allergies..

[davidhassani]

what book are they from? I assume the Art of Seduction? Love his books specifically the Laws of Human Nature

[djkramit]

I'm going to watch the whole podcast. Interesting. 😎

[JAMESFINDLAY]

I love this podcast. I am 1 that likes analyzing people now. Ur like ur dad good at getting inside people. Hope u r well now MP.

[JS-svol]

Thishis very interesting; it makes me think of how sales personas and tactics likely overlap and intersect with these seduction methods.

What else is sales but having someone reveal their desires and then helping that person make decisions that help them see those same desires in what the seller is offering?

Terribly fascinating 😊

[ravishingrickrude]

God blessed you, and may he keep blessing. Amazing woman and human you are. Keep up the good work.

I’d love to see this guy break down Ryan Goslings character in Drive.
