In Awe of the Natural

As our final Seducer type, The Natural causes awe in us because he/ she has actually managed to maintained child-like qualities that charm, fascinate, woo us. They're unpretentious, sincere, spontaneous, playful, and make us think of our own childhoods when we were that carefree too. That is how they woo us.

Adult life is full of boredom, compromise, and disillusionment. The Natural seems unaffected by all this, maintaining whatever traits they have protected sicne childhood. There are many different types and they can blur with one another, but here are some basic types:

1. the innocent: They seem weak because we all know that innocence can only really last for so long before it gets beaten into the ground. They also misunderstand many things in the world, seeming to be uncorrupted. The possible loss of innocence saddens us and we find the misunderstandings humorous.

2. the imp: They're brazen, fearless. They don't seem to see the consequences of their actions--they won't see if they offend someone or if what they do may cause injury to themselves. If they do, they do it anyway and don't worry about the consquences. These Naturals are always on full throttle, don't take anything seriously, and the only thought for offending others is that they will be forgiven eventually. =)

3. the wonder: These people were prodigies as children. They have some kind of skill that they make look easy to every one else. In truth they have to work at it like the rest of us (even if the aptitude is natural), they just hide it much better. The qualities they need to help them with the skill come naturally. It fascinates because so many wish that they could be like this, talented beyond their years and experience. Taking this strategy requires any natural skill and improvization. Become so practiced that you make it look simple.

4. the undefensive lover: These people are so open, easy, and accepting of others that they are very nearly irresistable. As we grow we eventually get hurt by others and most people close up and build defenses because of it. These people don't. They are graceful, relaxed, hard to offend, and may seem to age slower than others. The defensiveness found in so many is a death to seduction. Your defensiveness brings out the same reactions in others; the lack of it, relaxes everyone around you and they want to be near you. Then, the victims inhibitions are lowered because the undefensive lover bends, felxes, and is as open as they need to be at the time.

One of the best peoplea t this was Charlie Chaplin. No one in Hollywood would tell you that he was an extremely handsome leadin man. In fact, they may not really even know what the draw in him was. but he was funny, unpretentious, unafraid of making a fool of himself. He was a master at putting his audience at ease and making them enjoy his roles and personality. They fell in love with him before they even knew they were in danger of it.

DANGERS:
1. Childness is eventually annoying. You have to be able to tone it down or turn it off when you need to. Combine the childishness with adult experience and wisdom and the contradiction is more seductive than either alone.
2. The older you are, the harder it can become to pull off the Natural. Eventually those around you just want you to grow up. Be able to adapt and improvise to your environment and the needs of others.

To all you Naturals, enjoy yourself and thoes around you will nearly always be charmed and lose themselves in your carefree laughter, spontaneity, etc. This is seduction. Make it fun.
