The Archetype Blueprint: Are You A Modern-Day Pirate, Cowboy, or Samurai?
Every man you’ve ever admired fell into one of three categories. And after you find out your own archetype today, you’ll start understanding people differently.
The guys you looked up to growing up, ambitiously. The characters that made you lean forward in your seat, excitingly. The real men in your life who carried something different in how they moved, talked, and lived. They weren’t all the same kind of man, if you think about it. Not even close.
One was restless. Always chasing something. Couldn’t sit still, couldn’t be boxed in, couldn’t work for someone else without his skin crawling. He’d rather burn it all down and start fresh in a new city than spend another year doing the same thing. Built things fast, broke things faster, and somehow always landed on his feet with a grin. You watched him and thought: “that guy is free.”
Another man was rock-solid. Quiet and firm. Didn’t say much but when he did, people shut up and listened. He wasn’t flashy and didn’t need to be. He was big on owning things. Built things with his hands and his patience. The kind of man whose word was enough. He rarely ever played status games as he was too busy building a dynasty. You watched him and thought: “that guy is an immovable object.”
And the third was precise. Calculated and meticulous. Everything he did looked effortless. A real display of sprezzatura. He spent years perfecting things most people quit after a month. He didn’t care about being first or being flashy. He cared about being undeniably top-notch. He walked into rooms and the energy changed even though he never raised his voice. You watched him and thought: “let me not fuck with that guy.”
Three different men. Three completely different approaches to life, money, women, conflict, and legacy. All three widely respected. All three unbelievably magnetic.
One is a Pirate. One is a Cowboy. One is a Samurai.
And you? You’re one of them too. You just haven’t been told which one. And that’s costing you more than you realize.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
The problem with most people’s routines and way of living is that it treats you like you’re all the same cookie-cutter guy.
“Wake up at 5 AM. Cold plunge. Build an agency. Post on X every day.” That works beautifully for one type of man. Give that same playbook to a different type and watch him suffocate within two weeks.
Same thing with money. One man builds wealth by moving fast and chasing opportunity; a wild risk-taker. Another builds it by owning things and compounding quietly for decades; secure measures type of fella. A third charges premium because nobody else can do what he does; a professional artist type. Three paths. All effective. But only one (or a hybrid) is yours. Follow the wrong one’s blueprint and you’ll grind for years wondering why nothing ever clicks.
If you’ve been grinding away at certain methods and it hasn’t worked for you like it may have worked for others, that’s almost 100% certain because you’re playing a different blueprint’s playbook while that guy is thriving for his own specific one. Crushing the competition seamlessly because he’s in his natural habitat.
Same thing with women, training, and how you structure your entire life. When you’re running the wrong playbook, everything feels like the world resists you. When you’re aligned with who you actually are, you still work hard, but it feels like momentum gains traction so much quicker. You stop fighting yourself. And you start winning the way you were always supposed to.
Your Specific Archetype
The quiz below draws from the Big Five personality model and Jungian masculine archetypes. The two most validated frameworks in psychology for understanding how men are wired. I’ve remapped them into three archetypes that are more practical and more honest about how men actually desire to live.
Once you find out whether you’re a Pirate, Cowboy, Samurai, or a hybrid, here’s what’s waiting on the other side:
Your ideal money path. The specific wealth strategies that match how your brain actually works.
Your relationship blueprint. How your archetype loves, leads, and keeps a woman, and the mistakes your type makes that kill attraction without you knowing it.
Your training and combat style. The physical disciplines and fighting styles built for your temperament.
Your danger zone. Every archetype has a self-destruct button. I’m telling you what yours is before it goes off.
Your path to The Final Man. Each archetype gets there differently. I’ll show you what the trajectory looks like for your type.
Either you find out your true archetype and start building your life more seamlessly. Or you keep grinding with someone else’s blueprint and stay wondering why others lap you in the same journey.
