Before reading this article, I strongly suggest you go back and read my previous one on Archetypes.

Girls make quick decisions on guys. Suppose you don’t naturally fall into the 3 most successful archetypes: Pretty Boy, Conventionally Good-Looking, and Hyper-Masculine. One way is to differentiate yourself and be easily recognisable to one market segment and what women identify or vibe with.

This is where Niches come from. If you are in a specific niche, the woman who will rock with it will prefer it to your usual Chad. Why? Because it speaks to her internal part. It may seem vacuous to you as it is very surface level but don’t forget who you are dealing with.

They fall for cheap marketing tricks.

When you choose your Niche, choose one most naturally suited to your profession, hobbies, interests, lifestyle and personality.

This goes along with social circles; you must adopt the community codes you want to be part of if you don’t see exactly where you fit. Community is where the niches hang around with one another. Going back to the central premise of Archetypes, people use mental shortcuts to see if you are worth their time, so showing the proper outfit and display off the bat when it is not your association to a community when it is not some respected third party acknowledgement, it will be the social proof you need to cut the investment time required to build that trust.

It’s also essential to appreciate that Niches can work standalone or downstream from Archetypes.

These are not meant to be exhaustive but should cover a non-negligible portion of the population.

The Artist => Will have a dress style that is a bit extravagant for most guys but one where he feels comfortable expressing his individuality no matter how extreme => Pretty Boy most often but can also be Conventionally Good-Looking.

The Skater Boy => Laid-back dress sense. He knows he is a bit on the margins of society. He may have tattoos and tends to lean on the slimmer side of body type. The style will be boxy and baggy t-shirts and jeans. Quite popular with Young Men on the West Coast=> Pretty Boy / Conventionally Good-Looking.

The Businessman => Well-tailored suits and good grooming showcase his sophistication and ability to express himself well => Conventionally Good-Looking.

The Dope Boy => He will be flexing with accessories such as jewellery, wearing designer brands, dress relatively casually but still stylish, with an IDGAF attitude => Usually on the Hyper-Masculine.

The Athlete => More on the Muscly / Big Frame and TALL side of the spectrum. When it comes to swag, it will veer a bit like the Dope Boy, with a confident attitude as he is used to people looking up to him =>Hyper-Masculine.

The Gym Bro / (Ex)-Military => Masculine behaviour and displaying their muscles through relatively tight clothes for the gym bro. Baggier outfits for (Ex-Military) For Bald guys, this is what I would suggest going for; don’t forget neck training =>Hyper-Masculine.

Understanding what is more prevalent in your location as to the different groups is key, and seek out where you are the closest to.

Some Niches may be their own archetypes or can fall within a couple of Archetypes.

Your age and ethnicity will also come into play.

Blacks will likely fall in the Athlete, Dope Boy and Musician—Southeast Asian Men in Business Men.

Stereotypes exist for a reason; don’t fight them.

You can’t please everyone, whether it is to do with your personality or with the Niche you choose.

The idea is to filter the girls who will vibe quickly with you and what you display. “Show, don’t tell.”

You will realise things become effortless once a girl is bought into you.

It is then about adopting the right approach congruent with the Box she put you in, but which you helped her in doing so.

Don’t be an emoting military guy. It is not gonna work.
