The 7 Male Personality Types

THE 7 MALE PERSONALITY TYPES

Mummy's Boy: is soft, gentle, understanding, compliant and eager to please. Lacks confidence, so may stretch the truth, a wee bit, to bolster his image. because his mother never allowed him to take on responsibility for himself he does not cope well with even minor catastrophes. He is capable of unpredictable displays of childish temper over even the loss of an umbrella. Although not ambitious is usually conscientious.

His competitive spirit is not strong but succeeds if he has a mentor - to take the place of Mother - in the work force. He is attracted to strong, beautiful women. To the Mummy's Boy sex is a comforting, nurturing experience. He is happy for his wife to shoulder most of the responsibilities. He loves the children, happy to baby-sit, but hardly in a responsible manner. He is committed to self.


One Mummy's Boy came to me with a request for, ~7 ladies, one for every day of the week~. I said to him, ~don't you think that would be rather expensive~, he replied, ~I don't mind, I like going out~. I introduced him to three women in quick succession. One Sunday night he rang to say he had double booked and it was all too much. He threw a typical Mummy's Boy tantrum on the phone and I was expected to pick up the pieces. A couple of days later his dilemma was forgotten and he was looking for more introductions. But I decided I would leave him with only three a while. I didn't fancy sorting out problems with 7 women. But unfortunately I had told a female client about him and she nagged me until I introduced them. As I was describing her he said, ~Tell me more, tell me more, I think I know that lady, If it's the one I think it is you can cancel the others~. ~Sure enough it was the lady he thought it was, so I was given the job of cancelling his other companions.

In direct contrast to the soft gentle appearance of the Mummy's boy is the masculine:

Dad's Boy: was influenced by a strong father or an inspiring, ambitious mother. He feels very responsible for his family which may be taken for chauvinism as he likes to be in control. He is recognisable by his manliness. He is ambitious and usually very successful. Is attracted to a woman who will enhance his status. He demands loyalty and support. Although he attracts her with charm, generosity and sexuality, once married, she may become `the little woman', if she is not careful. His odd flirtation, is his business. His wife must recognise and understand that within his tough exterior is an emotionally fragile little boy and, unless she does, he is likely to seek another who will. He will expect his sons to be little men from an early age and follow in his footsteps. He is committed to patriarchal values.

One Dad's Boy who came to me is a highly successful self made Italian gentleman from the South of Italy who wants a lady in her forties with a good figure. I introduced him to one lady who was about my size and he reported back that she had no figure. ~I want a lady with a good figure~ he told me. She also had to be well dressed have good social graces, be prepared to run his household and he wants to be married before Christmas. When I began the business, friends who helped me set up said you must find a man for Maria. Maria is a mixture of The Flirt and the Favourite Aunt and about 30 kilos overweight.

She is very charming and good fun but her figure seems to be a drawback. I also had another man on my books who sounds as though he has a hair lip whom I knew would be very difficult to match up so I asked Maria would she go out with each of them until I found their perfect match. Both men fell madly in love with her. She went out with both of them for about a month and now I am still looking for a lady with a good figure who wants to get married before Christmas. I rang Maria just recently and her mother said, ~She doesn't live here any more, she is living with Ian.

The Dad's Boy loves to rescue the damsel in distress, it makes him feel like the big he-man whereas his brother, `the Brother', doesn't derive any such pleasure from being the he-man. He treats women as equals and believes that she should be able to rescue herself or at least attempt to.

The Brother: At an early age was allowed to form his own opinions and set his own standards; not dominated by either parent. What you see is what you get. The Brother is direct, open and honest. Fights for principles and for others not strong enough to stand up for themselves. Not ambitious for material gains, his motivation is altruistic rather than self-directed. Treats all people as equals, especially women, he is not usually attractive to women as he lacks charm and excitement. Most women complain that he is not good fun. Unlikely to make sexual advances or have sexist attitudes - prefers to develop a firm friendship first. Admires a woman with strong principles, and often attracted to a feminist. Unimpressed with the coquettish, game-playing Mummy's Girl, who wants to be rescued. Although she must attempt to repair a leaky tap, read road maps and share responsibilities, he will be loyal, supportive and protective, but is predictable and can be rather dull. Happily accepts an egalitarian marriage. All children enjoy growing up with this great father. Enjoys teaching and will take an interest in everything they do. He is committed to the protection of the of the weak.

In direct contrast to the unassuming altruistically motivated Brother is the attention seeking, innovative Baby brother whose motivation is totally self directed.

The Baby: was the baby of the family or an only child with a large, close, family network. He can be likened to Benjamin in the Bible. He is always youthful, a charmer and cute no matter what age. He has a high self-image; believing everyone loves him as they did in his childhood. Because of his sense of adventure there is never a dull moment and he is great fun to be with. Has strong principles and cannot tolerate faults in others, even though he is aware that he has similar ones.

Because older siblings taught him to master the mechanics of his toys, he has a penchant for gadgets and adult toys; he would be first with a portable telephone. Rather than utilitarian, his car is chosen for pleasure and prestige. He is daring and innovative and successful in his career; particularly if he branches out on his own to outshine his older brothers or father. He charms a woman with enthusiasm, gifts and attention. His wife and children are part of his collection of beautiful possessions. He wants to protect them, but needs their attention, support and loyalty. Although he spoils his family with material gifts, his demands are high and he expects everyone to drop everything and shower him with attention the moment he walks in the door. He is the innovator and the collector.

You could never imagine that he could possibly come from the same family as the slow, steady, loyal:

The Bachelor: A loner as a child. Escaped within to develop his in-built security. Rarely influenced by his peer group; his parents were probably of the same ilk. Set in his ways, very exact and inclined to be introverted. He is opinionated and enjoys his own company and is usually known for his reliability, loyalty and steadiness. Puts himself before his career. Not ambitious, but conscientious. He has an analitytical mind and is well suited to accounting or science or engineering. Can live without women, but enjoys their company.

To provide the excitement and enthusiasm he lacks, is attracted to vivacious women who are self-sufficient and undemanding. He marries late, if at all, and she will have to accept his stubbornness and set ideas. Many of the male clients I have are The Batchelor type who suddenly realises time is slipping him by and if he wants to have children he had better do something about it quickly. He often lacks the courage to approach a woman. He accepts his duties as a husband as conscientiously as he does his job. A warm, loving, dutiful father - provided his children do not intrude on his solitude. He is committed to setting standards and boundaries.

His inflexibility is in direct contrast to that of the:

The Playboy: His father may have had a roving eye or his mother created his awareness of his sex appeal while neglecting to emphasise his other qualities which sometimes leads to a deep seated lack of confidence. But the picture he shows to the world is that of a self assured, charmer. Has a magnetic attraction that appeals to most women. Never a problem bringing him home to Mother, he will charm her too. Should he channel his communication skills into his career the results will be highly successful either as a barrister, great statesman or salesman of international note.

Forever youthful and enthusiastic, but due to a fear of failure he may not always be truthful. No matter how dedicated to his career, always has time for a woman. Is likely to make sexual overtures to his secretary, a client or even a female boss. All women are a challenge. Enjoys the chase, but many Playboys have a defeatist attitude towards maintaining a relationship; an in-built fear of losing their freedom. Depending how strong is his deep-seated insecurity, he may lack trust in a relationship. His sons will probably grow up to be playboys too. A fun-loving father, but when his daughters reach puberty, he treats their boyfriends with undue suspicion. He is committed to protection of the ego.
