Trying to compile all my likely archetypes - feel free to suggest more if you think they apply.
These are also accompanied by my mild ADHD + OCD (good because needing to clean balances out the ADHD that would forget to tidy up a mess due to distraction, bad because recurring thoughts happen during cleaning/chores lol)
Archetypes
✦ Time Machine Girl - Most of adulthood was spent in a 2.5, 6.5 and 7 year LTRs with flings/STRs in between. Socially conditioned by conservative upbringing -> currently moderate/liberal leaning worldviews
✦ Post-Quarantine Girl - Moved in with him right before pandemic, married during pandemic
✦ Shy Excited Girls - Shy at first externally, internally excited/child-like curiosity/playful, stable profession, ambitious, generally optimistic, retaining 10-15yr platonic friendships with a small circle of quality male/female confidants, somewhat fashionable but not overtly/over the top
✦ NJR (Modern Woman) / NDI (Hopeful Romantic) / TJR (Seductress)
✦ Curious but Slightly Cynical? - I think due to Time Machine + my age, I'm stuck in between Curious/Inquisitive and slightly Cynical mindsets. If you allow me to, I don't mind taking most of the blame in a situation, will take mental notes from my mistakes, end on good terms, and not hold a grudge just because something ended (Those guys try to come back later anyways for some reason).
✦ #2: Chill Girl Who Used to be Religious
✦ #1: Ordinary 'Boring' Girls | #2: Women Obsessed with Their Work - Just add some nerdy/geekiness/ND to this
✦ Married / Professional / Shy Girl

Can the psychology of seduction be compared to an FPS, RPG, MOBA, or a TCG? Would love to see more articles on that.
Seducers also are 5 steps ahead of you. Anything you do they know the why you are doing it and what you are trying to do. Like many of us know what you are doing and we don't even know you.
Reflecting on this...Always been curious how seducers know why I'm doing something and what I'm trying to do if I'm not 100% on auto-pilot all the time and my own motivations aren't always linear and are constantly evolving. If I stay in these forums, I'd love for us both to figure that out and help each other.
- Does anyone here play Magic The Gathering? I played a bit of it, and yeah it does help to see 5-10 steps ahead of your opponent to win. Other times, your pattern recognition + RNG helps too. But if you can't predict their next moves, and you don't draw the right cards into hand to make your moves, it's not that easy right?
- For example, do you think that seducer expected or predicted I'd write a reverse lay report as one of the possible outcomes from how he handled letting me down? Because I didn't think I was going to write it, frankly. And there was a 70% chance I wasn't going to post it at all. What are the chances this will happen again with another girl? Do you think we're all going to form a group chat one day? lol
He was likewise, unpredictable. I
did think there was a high chance of us becoming physically intimate based on attraction/chemistry, his risky sensation-seeking traits, my emotional state and quite literally every other variable lining up the way it did. But I didn't think he was going ask me to hit him up when I remove my IUD lol.
I maybe thought he could be a player, but didn't think he was going to be a tribal elder level seducer... My intuition failed to an extent this time because he found ways to bypass it and I was blinded by how attracted I was to him. My amygdala got hijacked to an extent essentially. (it's still a bit hijacked due to long term zeignarnik effect, someone send help lol)
Am I that predictable? It makes sense you could deduce what I'm doing if I go on auto-pilot or default woman mode. And when I'm in my luteal phase, I can become kind of delusional/cognitively impaired/experience brain fog if my blood sugar isn't stabilized.
Maybe I'm also here because I can't solve my own female psychology and biology and I'm trying to learn some of it through the lens of how men see it in a way. Your outside perspectives are helpful. Each day, I'm trying to figure things out as I go. I wish we could slowly bridge the gaps even when we're in a world where it's easier to just run away and start over. For me connection > convenience. But I admit it's not an easy path either way.
