'''Attractiveness fundamentals''' are, in [[Chase Amante]]'s teaching — this wiki's gold standard — the ''passive but adjustable'' qualities that make a man more attractive by being around him, as opposed to '''[[Game (seduction)|game]]''', which is the active work of opening, teasing, leading, and escalating. See [[Seduction Wiki:Point of view]].

Amante introduced the idea in ''How to Make Girls Chase'' (2011). On 27 May 2025 he posted a disambiguation thread on [[Skilled Seducer]], "The 4 Categories of Attractiveness Fundamentals," because students had started using "fundamentals" for everything (opening fundamentals, nightgame fundamentals, and so on).

== The four categories ==
As listed by Amante in that thread:

=== Body ===
Posture, mannerisms, movement (speed and fluidity), walk, eye contact, smile, facial expressions, teeth, physique.

=== Vocal ===
Tone, inflection, depth, resonance, "purr," formants, hyoid depression, affected boredom, colorful vocabulary, vocal uniqueness, a hint of accent.

=== Social ===
[[Sprezzatura]] / the [[Law of least effort]], smooth conversation, humor, social awareness, "normality" (no off-putting quirks), social momentum, reputation inside a circle.

=== Fashion ===
Fit, interesting items and accessories, color coordination, interesting vs loud outfits, [[peacocking]], hair, facial hair, congruence with an identity or archetype.

== What is not a fundamental ==
Amante carves out three piles:

* '''Unchangeable passives''' — height, bone structure, a required uniform, a rank in a hierarchy. Those affect attraction; they are not "fundamentals" in his sense because you cannot train them the same way.
* '''Game''' — approaching, opening, teasing, cold reads, leading, compliance, rapport, frames, escalation, resistance-handling.
* '''Vibe''' — treated as an ''output'' of fundamentals + game + inner frame, not a fourth training category.

== Fundamentals vs game ==
Amante's long-standing line: the stronger the fundamentals, the less game you need, and the reverse. The easiest path is both. Forum replies to the 2025 thread proposed rival taxonomies (health vs status; "ugly hot" as high status / weak health). Those are recorded as competing frames, not as replacements.

The [[Newbie assignment]] is the on-ramp that starts training body fundamentals (posture, eye contact, walk) before asking the student to run full game.
