Long since the representatives of the strong half of mankind were assigned the roles of protector, pioneer, warrior, father. Embodiments of masculinity are symbolic and diverse: prudence, practicality, dedication and perseverance. It is these qualities that determine the true masculine character, considered the benchmark of masculinity. And it is precisely such, despite any modern trends, women want to see their men.
Psychologists have long identified the main types of male characters. Conventionally, there are seven main archetypes of representatives of the strong half of humanity, having an idea about which women will be much easier to communicate with potential partners. So.
Warrior and Defender
The man of this archetype is created to win. This goal is subject to its entire existence. For the "Warrior" is important and the process of struggle, and its result. A heightened sense of justice makes a man live in a state of constant alertness. The contradiction lies in the fact that protecting its own territory, the “Warrior” seeks to expand its borders in every possible way, capturing strangers while doing so. A strong archetype in a man often provokes outbursts of aggression and bitterness.
Philosopher and Mentor
The desire to improve and learn is the defining quality of the essence of the "Philosopher". All political, scientific, psychological and social theories known to mankind owe their appearance to the representatives of this male archetype. The need to transfer your experience and knowledge is quite large. Difficulties in relations with a woman arise at a time when such a man assigns the role of a student, not a companion, to his chosen one.
Male merchant
The manifestation of this male power is worthy of special attention. The harmonious combination of the features of previous archetypes gives the "Merchant" sociability, remarkable mental potential, artistry, financial success and purposefulness. The weak side of the archetype is inconstancy and lack of stability in relations with the opposite sex. By positioning itself as a player, the Merchant is inclined to turn his life into an endless series of adventures and intrigues.
Peasant
Such a man, in general, is associated as the stingy and pragmatic head of a large family, capable of ensuring an organized life and stability in her. In relations with women, the desire to find an economical, thrifty and resilient wife predominates.
Monarch
The representative of the archetype embodies all the characteristics of royal affiliation: generosity, wisdom, justice and vision. The bright side of the archetype allows a man to show generosity and responsibility. The dark one turns him into a typical tyrant.
Monk and hermit
Easily enduring loneliness "Monk" is able to devote his whole life to serving the highest idea, content with a rare society of new-minded like-minded people. The power of temperance dominates his relationship with women.
Slave and servant
The main characteristics of the Slave archetype are obvious - the lack of opportunities to control one’s own destiny and take responsibility for it. The lot of representatives of the archetype is unenviable. Subordination to the will of others contributes to the further destruction of the man as a person.
Each male archetype manifests itself as a concentration of certain aspirations, motivations and orientations. The influence and manifestation of a specific archetype should not be considered constant and final. With a conscious and reasonable approach, there is always the opportunity to develop or limit the influence of a particular male archetype.
