The Wallflower – also known as the “shy guy,” he looks out of his element, like a fish out of water. Although very nice and overall “good guy”, the wallflower is a delicate species that likes to cling to the bar or walls while living vicariously through other guys who are actively meeting, sharing their positive energy and smiling with everyone – girls and guys. You can identify them near the bar or perimeter of the dance floor while tightly clasping their drinks.
The Man on a Mission – he’s the guy that is machine gunning through groups of girls for his sole purpose while out that night – to hook up. He is a believer in the Law of Averages, and eventually, after enough tries – maybe he’ll get lucky. The Man on a Mission is devoid of any social grace or charm, is all business – to identify that one girl so he can take her back home to his nerd dungeon.
The Weird Pickup guy – he’s picked up a copy of “The Game
The Pushover – He may be a combination of the Wallflower. He’s there, but not really there. In a sense, he’s there because he wants to get social validation and approval from peers. He was probably strung along because he has a car and hasn’t cultivated a strong identity for himself yet. He fits the “provider” role for women, overly nice to everyone, buys drinks, provides rides to AND from the club, but at the end of the night he isn’t “that guy” women naturally gravitate towards.
The Social Leech – he’s the tag along, who knows a lot of people, but doesn’t provide any real value to friends apart from just “showing up”. He thinks he knows what he’s doing but unconscious of why people aren’t actively inviting him out when he thinks he’s “such a fun and nice guy.” He’s always on the lookout for the next big event to show up to. Also prone to mass texting barrages asking “wht r u sayin’ 2nite?”
The Phantom – he is the terror that comes out at night, leering, looking out for his next opening and before you know it, he’s slithered his way behind a girl without her consent. Can be identified by his gyrating his hips in an obscene manner – facial expressions included. The presence of The Phantom warrants an immediate response through rapid and clandestine communications systems devised by the victim’s girlfriends and social circle.
The Alpha Douche – ego driven and self-aggrandizing; he thinks he’s the shit because he barks and talks over everyone, while trying to be dominant and in control of the situation. Prone to pick fights and sees girls he’s with as “property”. Can be identified wearing Abercrombie and Hollister polos and a shit-eating grin while “scoping out the talent.”
