AI Overview
While there’s no single definitive list, common “types of men” in dating and relationship discussions often categorize them by personality, roles, or archetypes, such as the Romantic (charming, grand gestures), the Intellectual (scholar, expert), the Provider (traditional, stable), the Adventurer (traveler, fun-loving), the Bad Boy/Outlaw (brooding, rebellious), the Entertainer/Playboy (funny, flashy), the Good Guy/Nice Guy (caring, sometimes passive), the Egoist/Narcissist (self-centered), and the Chill/Everyman (easygoing). These archetypes help understand different relationship dynamics, from the supportive to the challenging.
Here are some common archetypes and categories:
Archetypal/Role-Based Types:
The Romantic: Passionate, affectionate, makes grand gestures, attentive.
The Intellectual/Scholar: Smart, values knowledge, good for quizzes but might struggle in emotional depth.
The Provider/Traditional Man: Stable, dependable, focused on providing security.
The Adventurer/Traveler: Loves new experiences, exploring, and sharing stories.
The Bad Boy/Outlaw: Mysterious, rebellious, tough exterior, often challenging.
The Entertainer/Playboy: Funny, lighthearted, loves to make people laugh.
The Good Guy/Nice Guy: Genuinely caring, supportive, but sometimes lacks assertiveness or becomes passive.
The Egoist/Narcissist: Puts his needs first, controlling, expects support without reciprocating.
Social/Behavioral Types (Alpha, Beta, Sigma, etc.):
Alpha: Dominant, charismatic leader, takes charge, confident.
Beta: Friendly, cooperative, loyal, less dominant than Alphas.
Sigma: Confident, capable, but operates outside traditional social hierarchies (lone wolf).
Delta: Resentful, self-sabotaging, or calm and dependable, depending on the source.
Relationship-Focused Types:
The Boy: Immature, avoids responsibility, focused on immediate gratification.
The Player: Flirty, often non-committal, uses charm to get what he wants.
These categories are broad generalizations, and people often blend traits from several types, but they offer a useful framework for understanding different relationship dynamics.

The little world of dating has become just a bit bigger. The debatably wonderful worlds of social media and pop culture have given us a mixed bag of dudesāmuch more than just the normal āgoodā and ābadā guys.
When I ride the subway to work, I see almost any and every kind of guyāfrom the hipster dude, to the renaissance guy and even the Ted Mosby type (via How I Met Your Mother) but these types have showed us a new side of guys that weāve never seen. Take a look at the top ten new types of men and figure out who will catch your fancy. āDesire Thompson
1. The Neo Non-Renaissance Man
This āmatureā guy is the one who would like to think theyāre wise beyond their years. It can be tricky to differentiate between a āmatureā guy and a real one, but look for the signs. Does he suggest that Applebees is an upscale restaurant for a date? Next!
The guy wearing the jean jacket with cargo pants isnāt necessarily this dude. The guy constantly talking about his favorite Tribe Called Quest (who he just discovered in 2011) song and balling out at Goodwill is the one you should look out for.
The Professional will not only want a stimulating convo with you, but he will never be able to separate business from pleasure. Working together to balance it out will strengthen the relationship.
The Sweet One is the guy thatās already in your life as a friend, ex or a co-worker. He listens to all your pointless banter about work, what you ate for lunch and even helps you prepare for the date youāre going on this weekend.
While the sweet guy can have the potential to become more, youād rather keep him in the friend zone.
This one can confuse your kindness for a form of affection, and when you donāt give him the attention he craves, he will be very blunt about he feelings in the form of tears or unnecessary arguments.
Now, itās perfectly fine for a man to be in tune with his emotions, but when you forget to call him one day, he shouldnāt be blasting āThe Warā and subtweeting you.
6. The Serious One
This Ted Mosby type goes into all their relationships the same way: he wants love, stability, a candidate for marriage and everything else they need. Theyāre also not into catering your needs while you ignore theirs.
Watching cartoons on Saturday? Check. Avoids serious conversations with witty jokes? Check. Viewing you as an authoritative figure than a girlfriend? Check and mate.
Do you wanna play tit for tat with a manchild all day? Didnāt think so.
8. Mr. Instafame
He has garnered the ālikesā and attention of many people online, which has given him some form of Napoleon complex. Thereās not much more than the fact that they take really good photos or can put an outfit together really well. In real life they want the exact attention they receive online. #Getoutwhileyoustillcan!
No secrets here, just a lot of baggage. But when heās been (almost too) honest with you about his 7-year marriage and kids, thereās no way you can erase his past from your mind. He may be older than you and thatās what attracted you to him, but prepared to accept a lot of things you cannot change.
