13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Boss”

The BOSS

You command power in the boardroom and the bedroom.

The sage....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The lover...

even if not your second highest archetype, is ACTIVE and over 70% on the quiz, ideally.

“Life is a dance between making it happen and letting it happen.”

In Pop Culture:

Amal Clooney

On television:

Your Potential To Captivate

Even the most skilled player will fumble when he encounters a woman who is confident, competent, and totally self-possessed. Some people call you an alpha-female, a “boss babe”, or better yet, the perfect mix of beauty and brains. Regardless of the label, when a successful man meets you—he’s met his match.

Your cool demeanor, mental acuity and emotional independence are the essence of your appeal. With the “sage” as your dominant archetype, you are a goal-oriented woman, motivated by proximity to power and the pursuit of knowledge. Unlike the siren, you do not need to connect in order to feel fulfilled. When a man senses that you do not fundamentally need him, you ignite a man’s instinct to chase and conquer.

Consider how fictional DC fixer Olivia Pope triggers neurotic behavior in the otherwise self-possessed President Fitzgerald Grant on ABC’s Scandal, or how international human rights attorney Amal Clooney turned the tables on a life-long bachelor George Clooney.

You thrive in traditionally male-dominated environments and you may enjoy conversations about business, politics, and current events. Sometimes you date for sport– your tremendous self-sufficiency allows you to play the field without fear of heartbreak.

The Boss is ruled by the cool “sage” archetype, but when you are not connected to your creative, life-force “lover” energy, your tendency to live in your head causes you to overthink and judge. It makes it difficult for you to experience the pleasure of feeling rooted and totally present in the moment. When sage energy goes unbalanced, it’s a challenge to really tap into your full creative potential. Furthermore, your cool demeanor, while potentially fascinating, can also work as armor, repelling more than it attracts, thus keeping people at a respectful distance. This may make it harder to accomplish some of your personal and professional goals. When “Boss” women are totally aligned with their sage energy, and also connected to their sensual lover energy, they are force with which to be reckoned. These women are not only sharp strategists and witty conversationalist, but they fully inhabit their bodies, they are infinitely creativity ( Martha Stewart is actually a boss) and they feel at home in the realm of sensuality and emotional expression.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Bohemian”

The bohemian

Your independent spirit and sexy, devil-may-care attitude is irresistible.

The lover....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The Huntress...

Is your second highest archetype.

"If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I’m not frightened by anyone’s perception of me."

Patron Saint:

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel

In Pop Culture:

Erykah Badu

On television:

Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

In film:

Elvira Hancock, Scarface

Your Potential To Captivate

Your sexy, devil-may-care attitude makes you naturally seductive. You are an independent, goal-oriented, free-spirit and you are fundamentally unconcerned with how anyone perceives you. This irreverence is immensely alluring.

At your best you don’t try to please, so men fall all over themselves, trying to please you.

You possess the sensual, creative, pleasure-seeking, spontaneity of the siren, with the physical, independent nature of the huntress. The huntress archetype represents a woman’s autonomy and her ability to select a life of her own choosing.

There’s a certain down-to-earth, physicality about you that is tantalizing. You may be athletic, fond of the great outdoors, or just extremely confident in your own skin. Either way, your physicality shows.

Men respond to your confidence, self-possession, and maverick spirit. You have the potential to trigger a man’s impulse to conquer.

Brad Pitt dropped everything (including his current girlfriend) to create a family with Angelina Jolie. Erykah Badu’s power over hip-hop’s finest has been described as nothing short of magic.

Your anti-seductive qualities...

You have a tendency to be cut off from your emotional nature and vulnerability, thus making it difficult to relate to others, and forge real connections. If both your “huntress” and the “lover” energies are under-developed, the goal-oriented nature of the ‘huntress’ will be at odds with your sensual, spontaneous ‘lover’ energy, thus diminishing your natural appeal. Your pursuit of passion and freedom may interfere with your ability to make smart romantic decisions when you are seeking a lasting commitment.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Coquette”

The Coquette

You emotional detachment and self-sufficiency drives men to extremes.

The huntress....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The lover...

even if not your second highest, is ACTIVE, and ideally above 70%.

"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."

Katherine hepburn

A snapshot of the Coquette

Patron Saint:

Marlene Dietrich

In Pop Culture:

Serena Williams

On television:

Maxine Shaw, Living Single

In film:

Catherine Trammel, Basic Instinct

Your Potential To Captivate

Of all the female seduction archetypes, the Coquette is most likely to lead a man to his ruin. The source of your charm isn’t always obvious. Your appeal lies in your emotional distance, your ability to retreat, leaving the other pining in your absence. This romantic give-and-take can reduce the most heroic man into an insecure shell of his former self.

With a dominant “huntress” archetype, you are a confident, emotionally self-sufficient, freedom-seeking woman. Nothing matters more to you than independence and you resist being swallowed up in the oceanic depths of emotion. You are a passionate person, but you often feel most deeply about work that moves you, or championing a cause. Romantic love isn’t always your top priority though your are more than capable of a loving relationship. As long as a man treats you with respect and gives you what you want, you are content.

Man’s infatuation with a coquette’s powers knows no bounds. Charles could never shake his first love, Camilla Parker Bowles, and after tragedy and much royal scandal, he ultimately married her, essentially renouncing his right to the throne. Lou Andreas Salome held her admirers in such thrall that two of the world’s leading philosophers, Paul Ree and Friedrich Nietzsche, agreed to a live-in ménage-a-trois where they, two esteemed men of logic, fought for her affection like school boys.

You have moxie, nerve and verve. You don’t shy from speaking your mind, and you may even share many of a man’s interests, from sports to flying planes. You are an adventurer at heart. You are even capable of having sex “like a man”, without strings attached, when the feeling moves you.

Your emotional self-sufficiency is powerfully seductive.

Your anti-seductive qualities...

When the lover archetype is active, which is critical for the coquette’s charm to be effective, your sensual, and cool energy enraptures. When you are disconnected from your creative energy, you are more likely to find yourself in a string of platonic, ‘friendzone’ relationships. It may be hard for others to see you outside of the context of friend without that attracting ‘spark’. It’s often hard for women dominated by the fierce huntress energy to also connect to their erotic energy without deliberate effort. If operating in the huntress’s shadow, you can be judgemental, aloof, and even cruel– though sometimes rage is a good thing, it can be off-putting if heavy handed. Unlike the ‘sage’, ‘huntress’ women are rooted, and connected in their bodies, but their emotional distance can stand in the way of their ability to sympathize, relate, and connect to others, without other balancing archetypes.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Goddess”

The Goddess

Your sultry, serene presence makes you appear other-worldly.

The lover....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The Mystic...

Is your second highest archetype.

“When you’re an introvert like me and you’ve been lonely for a while, and then you find someone who understands you, you become really attached to them. It’s a real release.”

lana del rey

A snapshot of the Goddess

Patron Saint:

Eva Peron

In Pop Culture:

Sade

On television:

Betty Draper, Mad Men

In film:

Cora Smith, The Postman Always Rings Twice

Your Potential To Captivate

Your sultry, serene presences mesmerizes, while your emotional poise keeps your admirers at arms length. Your extreme emotional equanimity and calm presence makes you appear above the quotidian and banal. You appear other-worldly, like a mythic goddess come to life. Some may even find you aloof.

In reality, you are one of the rare women with a deeply internal focus. A natural introvert, you appreciate solitude and activities that allow you to go inward, like meditation and yoga. As a dominant lover, you do enjoy attention and connection, which you garner with your striking appearance, but there is a distinct subdued aspect to your personality.

Your secondary archetype is the mystic, which means that inner peace and spirituality, or at least feeling connected to something greater, are priorities for you. Your home is your sanctuary and your regard your personal space as sacred.

Just as people are drawn to a fire’s warmth, admirers find your soulful, sensual presence and grounded energy comforting. Your distance is equally enchanting. You are like a star, sparkling from a light years away. Few can get close enough to see your more human qualities.

You appeal to a man’s instinct to dream. The combination of warm siren energy, and cool mystic energy creates an emotional vacuum that consumes people, making them want more of you.

Consider R&B crooner Sade, whose subdued, sultry sound has been described as “the voice of comfort to the wounded heart”. The enigmatic songstress often performs her gentle sounding music in bare feet, her costumes, simple, her lush hair, away from her face—and even though she releases roughly one album per decade, she maintains legions of loyal fans. In her absence, her presence looms larger. This is the power of the goddess.

Your anti-seductive qualities...

You can become so internally focused that you are cut off from your sensuality, spontaneity and ability to connect. You may be the woman who can attract curious eyes, but can’t emotionally seal the deal. Essentially, until you learn how to nurture and unite both your lover and mystic energy, both archetypes will oppose each other. Your desire to connect may be compromised by your introverted nature, and the ease at which you can become a homebody. While you are a dominant lover, you may need to learn to fully embrace your creative, erotic energy, as your primary and secondary archetypes can be at odd.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Enigma”

The Enigma

Your mysterious air and soulful demeanor magnetizes.

The Mystic....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The lover...

if not your second highest archetype, is ACTIVE, and ideally above 70%.

"I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone’. There is all the difference."

greta garbo

A snapshot of the Enigma

Patron Saint:

Greta Garbo

In Pop Culture:

Sabrina Claudio

On television:

Phoebe Buffay, Friends

In film:

Annie, Annie Hall

Your Potential To Captivate

You project a zen-like, earthy, soulfulness that is positively magnetic. At first glance, you may seem aloof, or even quirky due to your reclusive, often spiritual personality, but you are neither cold nor narcissistic.

Ruled by the mystic archetype, you focus your emotions inward. You crave neither fame nor constant attention. Spiritual fulfillment and inner peace are your highest priorities. You yearn to feel connected to something greater.

You don’t need validation, attention, competition, or connection to make you feel whole. You may even flee those things for the comfort of solitude. You are content within yourself and that extreme self-possession is your most attractive quality.

You are comforting, grounding energy. You make your lover feel seen and heard in a way that the rest of the world can not.

In her autobiography “My Art, My Life”, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s description of her lover, artist Diego Rivera, an otherwise comely man twenty years her senior, is positively breathtaking. It’s as if the beauty of his soul overrides any of his corporeal flaws. In spite of their monumental love, Frida and Diego maintained an “open” marriage long before that term even entered the popular vernacular, an extreme example of the enigma’s ability to love with a light grip.

You keep a part of you just for yourself. A man never feels he has “figured you out” hence you forever remain an enigma. Into your mystery a man may fall, hoping to find his redemption in the solution.

Your anti-seductive qualities...

Your deep internal focus can be at odds with developing your full sensuality and creativity. It’s particularly hard for you to awaken the naturally magnetic, sensual energy of the lover. You may live in your head, at the expense of full body consciousness, which also compromises both your sensuality and sexuality. Your self-sufficiency and introverted nature can easily leave you lonely and closed off from deep connection and attraction.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Diva”

The diva

You exude glamour and majestic appeal.

The lover....

Is your DOMINANT feminine archetype.

The Queen...

Is your second highest archetype.

"We owe something to extravagance, for thrift and adventure seldom go hand in hand."

lady randolph churchill

A snapshot of the Diva

Patron Saint:

Pamela Churchill Harriman

In Pop Culture:

Beyonce

On television:

Joan Holloway, Mad Men

In film:

Catherine Peterson, Black Widow

Your Potential To Captivate

You were born to wear a crown, and while you may not reign over a kingdom (yet), your regal bearing and glamorous style commands adoration and respect.

Ruled by the “lover” archetype, you exude warmth, sensuality and grand femininity. With the “queen” as your secondary archetype, you see a union with a natural born leader as part of your destiny.

Together, your two dominant archetypes coalesce to create a majestic, larger than life, physical presence– the warm eros of the “siren”, with the “queen’s” regal bearing and quiet strength.

You are able to divine a man’s potential, even before he does. You make a man feel like a king, even before he’s reached that status. The term “trophy wife”… that’s you.

You inspire them to conquer the world so that he may lay it at your feet. For you, dating is a high stakes game. You can enjoy pleasurable liaisons, but your ultimate goal is to marry and to marry well.

Consider multi-platinum selling pop star Beyonce Knowles, who in spite of her epic career and jet-setting lifestyle, has devoted herself to one man, Jay-Z (a Zeus-like mogul) for the better part of her adult life. Together, they bolster each other’s reputation and co-rule an entertainment empire.

You have discriminating taste. You want the best out of life, and you are willing to use your talent, charm, and preternatural social skills to attain it. A leader yourself, you are capable of running a business or being the fabulous social butterfly you were born to be. You have mastered the fine art of living and you do it with an enviable grandiosity.

Your anti-seductive qualities....

You let jealousy, competitiveness and competition compromise your goals, particularly your romantic relationships. While you make an exquisite companion, it’s truly one of your gifts, you run the risk of losing yourself and your identity in relationships– and hence a lot of your seductive appeal. With a passionate nature and desire for commitment, you may find the single life daunting, and require balancing archetypes to make smarter romantic choices and avoid co-dependent behavior.

Your Potential To Captivate

True to your dominant “queen” archetype, you value commitment, marriage and status within your community. Like a monarch, your regal bearing commands attention and commands respect from men and women alike.

Marriage is important to you, hence the single life can feel daunting. Apart of you will remain unfulfilled so long as you’ve yet to experience committed love to a man you consider a ‘king’. More than any other archetype, you long to be apart of a unit.

Your regal bearing and inner strength attracts, but the real magic happens after you connect. You have an unmatched ability to inspire you partner by showering him with attention. You are an amazing companion and it’s easy for men to become utterly dependent on you for physical and moral support.

When confronted with choosing between Wallis Simpson, a twice-divorced American, and the British monarchy, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry the love of his life. That’s how powerful the “empress archetype” is when fully developed.

Madame de Pompadour, the indispensable mistress to French King Louis XV, with her eye for extravagance and style, played a decisive role in making Paris the perceived capital of taste and culture in Europe. The savvy woman also advised the King on pressing military and political matters, securing titles for herself, and those close to her.

Your anti-seductive qualities...

Total connection to your raw ‘lover’ energy is key to igniting and sustaining attraction for you, because Queen women often resist their inner erotic, sensual nature– making it harder to realize their romantic dreams. You may be prone to jealousy, hubris and possessiveness– all of which compromise your personal and romantic relationships. Women who are dominant “queens” also easily lose themselves in relationships– ruining some of their natural appeal.

13 Feminine Seduction Archetypes: The “Sensualist”

“There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.”

-Sophia Loren

You are a fount of nurturing love, affection and robust sensuality. With the lover as your dominant archetype, you appreciate spontaneity, living in the moment, and rich, tactile experiences. Your secondary archetype, the mother, makes you warm, affectionate, and down-to-earth. You satisfy two powerful, primal male instincts; to procreate, and to receive physical and emotional nourishment.

In your presence, a man feels aroused, relaxed, and slightly coddled. You relish in the pleasure of taking care of others. You are a giving lover, and sexuality for you is very much a give-and-take. If you enjoy cooking, creating a meal for your man can be a tantalizing, erotic experience that he’ll pine for. It’s not just the food he enjoys, but the spirit in which it is prepared, presented, and enjoyed. Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has been nicknamed the “Goddess of Pleasure”–her approach to cooking often described as border-line erotic.

There is nothing self-conscious or uptight about you. Your robust vitality penetrates those around you. Your warm, open energy encourages others to relax and be themselves. You can let your hair down, break into laughter, or fall into your lovers arms at a moments notice. When you live up to your seductive potential, admirers will find you positively intoxicating.
