charmer and rake, maybe a bit of ideal lover

Great thread idea. Where did you get the traditional lover roles from?

I'm inventing my own category.

50% Charmer 40% Dandy 10% Charismatic
The charmer is the one I've identified with the most. I adapt to my target and make it seem like I understand them, but my real personality is hard to pinpoint and I'm always focusing on myself like a Dandy. To be a bit self deprecating I'm skinny and tall so I don't fit the masculine ideal yet. I'm charismatic simply in the way I make friends. I make friends with everyone because it's who I am even thigh I may dislike them on the inside. The pleasure part of the rake also fits me but that's it(I always come across as the clean cut LTR guy when I'm the opposite yay social circle game)

I'd quote Russel Brand as my favourite male figure. My game is based on quit-wit, put-downs and a war of words.

In a two minute conversation with a girl, the following must happen:

- She laughs hysterically
- I call her a bitch and she playfully punches me
- She says something along the lines of "You're SO mean!/OMG!!!!!/You're such a dick!!!!/You're so annoying!!!!!" PLAYFULLY

It's all about ENERGY

If you can jokingly call a girl a bitch after two minutes, you have great Charisma IMO

Before the bang I usually get something along the lines of "I fucking hate you!!!!!" before she lovingly launches herself around me.

Not exactly the pinnacle of masculinity but it's great fun *honks horn*

Russell Brand is closer to what a Rake would be.

Casanova was a strong rake.

I pasted this from some site so I didn't write these out. The guy who wrote this didn't describe the archetypes perfectly like the book but it does the job.

I didn't notice the bit about the "AFC" under Rake but I wouldn't say Rakes are AFC, if you base that on the description in Greene's book.

I'm going to go with 50/50 Charmer/Charismatic. By now I use methods of both archetypes naturally. I'd say I'm more of a charmer when acting on an individual basis and switch into a charismatic when working a group.
