About this report
We've
customized this report based on your answers to the test. Some results
will be very accurate while others may miss the mark.
Who You Are
You're loved, and for good reasons
You're
a very down-to-earth man with a unique passion for life. You live in
the here and now and try to go with the flow. You have a vision for
your future so you refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing
something just because it's expected of you. Life should be "balanced"
with plenty of time for fun, spontaneity, and romance! Because you're
an independent guy and a little shy, you only let a few people get
especially close. Still, you have an emotional depth that most men
lack. You're ready and able to experience romance and a powerful
"spark" with someone special.
What's dating all about to you?
Falling
in love is a spiritual experience for you. A truly loving relationship
helps bring meaning to your life. You try hard to make your date feel
comfortable and have a good time. You're good at anticipating what
other people need and giving it to them. But inside, you're usually on
an emotional roller coaster. You don't want to reject nice women, but
also take it very personally if you're the one rejected.
You
face two major challenges in finding the love of your life. First,
because you're shy, you feel like you have to be someone else or "wear
a mask" to go out and meet new people. You're left feeling like a
distant observer, and women find it hard to truly understand you.
Second, although your compassion for women is a very attractive
quality, your focus on her can get in the way of getting what you want
and need. It's crucial to find a way to "go with the flow" in dating as
you already do in other parts of your life.
Here's how you compare with other men your age
How unique is your type?
Your
personality profile is similar to a number of men your age. Looking at
over 10,000 men who have taken the test, about 32.7% (or 1 in 3 men)
have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these
qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.
How many other men have personalities like you?
Quirks women notice
Like
all men, you have your strengths as well as your quirks and
shortcomings. Ultimately, you want to find someone who will love and
accept you "warts and all." Because you're a private person, it's
especially important that you find a partner who understands.
- Because
you're a big-hearted man, at times you can be swayed too much by
emotions and a desire to keep your friends and family happy.
- Some days when you're in a bad mood and can't hide it, co-workers or friends take it personally and think you're upset at them.
- On
most days, you need to get away from other people (including your loved
ones) and have quiet time alone to rest and recharge your emotional and
social batteries.
Do women like your type?
Notice
that 18% of women are generally attracted to your personality type. 5%
say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com,
that translates into lots of potential matches.
How many women are attracted to your type?
Who You're Looking For
She'll be an enigma
You're
looking for a woman who really enjoys life and can bring fun and
excitement to your relationship. She's easygoing and knows how to live
in the moment. You'll be impressed by how she can see the "big picture"
and have a vision of what she wants to accomplish in life, while still
having a practical and down-to-earth style. Though she can be outgoing
and charming at times, you also will find she has a shy and quiet side.
In some ways, especially emotionally, she may be hard to get to know.
But she's worth the effort! You'll certainly never be bored. She loves
adventure and is always looking to shake things up.
You
don't expect your partner to be in a good mood all the time. You
understand that sometimes your partner will be down, get pessimistic or
worry too much. These days are balanced by the many good days the two
of you will share. In fact, you share a number of positive qualities,
including:
She believes in letting life happen and not being too pinned down by doing any one thing.
She understands the importance of feeling safe and secure in a
relationship and often reminds you of her commitment and how she feels.
Here's how you compare to your "ideal" partner
Number of women your type
Women
with the exact type of personality you prefer are rare gems. Looking at
over 10,000 women who have taken this test, only 5% (or 1 in 20 women)
have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality
you find extremely appealing.
However,
there's a larger group, 25% (or 1 in 4 women), who have most, but not
all, of the qualities and habits you like. These subgroups are charted
below.
About two-thirds (66%) of the women have at least some of the traits you find attractive.
But you'd have a negative reaction to 34% (or 1 in 3 women), who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.
How many women are your "ideal" type?
Opposites sometimes attract
You
want to share your life with someone who has the same values, goals,
and style you have. Research has shown that couples who have more in
common tend to stay together longer. Still, sometimes differences can
help create a "spark" and excitement about each other. Part of you
wants to be more like her, or at least have her unique style in your
life. She could be good for you in many ways:
Her happy and optimistic nature will brighten up your mood and outlook on life.
Quirks you can tolerate
The
truth is that everyone is potentially "high maintenance." We all have
our quirks and shortcomings. The key to long-term harmony is finding a
woman who can tolerate (or maybe even enjoy) your "quirks," or the
little personal oddities that make you unique. You seem okay with
several common quirks that might come along with your "ideal" woman:
You won't be too bothered by the fact that she always has multiple projects and hobbies going on, with few ever finished.
-
Her tendency to get a little jealous won't bother you too much and at times may even be flattering.
There will be days when you think she's simply "too happy" all the time. Doesn't anything get her down? Is she human?
Downside of your "ideal"
In
addition to her quirks, your "ideal" personality type may have other
qualities that are more frustrating or challenging to deal with. Under
stress, her quirks can become serious "flaws." But remember, these
quirks are the "flip side of the coin," or the extreme end of qualities
you otherwise find appealing. So, be prepared if:
-
Because she has a very positive take on life, she's probably not
the best shoulder to cry on. At times her cheerfulness may seem fake or
shallow and make it hard to connect with her.
Deal breakers
You
seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the women
you're looking for, but there are types of women you clearly do NOT
like. Women's habits and attitudes you'd have a hard time putting up
with include:
Your responses suggest that you are pretty accepting and tolerant
of shortcomings. No major personality "deal breakers" or reasons to
rule out potential dates were identified.
Trade-offs you'll face
Good Qualities
Challenging Qualities
Tries to balance spending time with a few close friends and going out with a big group of friends.
Given the demands of family, friends, and activities, it's hard to find time alone together.
Tries to balance a creative and imaginative side, with "real world" pragmatics about what you can and cannot do.
Promising ideas are often dropped if they don't succeed right away.
Tries to balance an objective view of problems with compassion for the people and feelings involved.
Competing drives from your rational vs. compassionate points of view can stand in the way of making decisions.
Not afraid to make tough decisions and move ahead.
Jumps too quickly to make decisions, because waiting is so hard to do.
Sex
Lots of sexual passion
As
you probably know, you have a higher sex drive than most! You give and
receive pleasure easily, whether it's sexual or simply an affectionate
touch. The connection you feel from making love energizes and comforts
you in a way most people wouldn't understand.
Among men your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 6 men (15%).
Is she sexually compatible?
You
seem to be looking for someone who can bring more variety and fun to
your sex life. You value the quality of sex, even if it means the
quantity or frequency of sex is lower than you'd like.
What's ahead for you sexually?
You
will probably experience some kind of sexual miscommunication or lack
of interest with a partner. This situation can be especially hard for
someone like you. Whether you feel pressured to have too much sex or
are bored with the lack of sexual variety, you can easily feel blamed
or rejected. You're prone to worry and read a lot into situations. To
move forward, share your feelings and concerns with your partner. A
good woman will understand your mixed emotions and be willing to meet
you half way in terms of how often and with what variety you make love.
How you and your "ideal" partner compare
Attraction Science
What is personality?
Personality is the set of traits and characteristics that make each of us unique yet relatively stable and consistent over time.
- People see and interpret the world differently.
- They want different things.
- They make decisions differently.
- They get excited and energized by different situations.
- They structure their careers, social life, and private time in different ways.
What does personality have to do with attraction?
The
way in which people are similar or different in personality strongly
affects their attraction to one another. Two people with similar values
are more likely to become (and stay) friends or a couple, indeed part
of compatibility is having "common ground." However, for many people,
compatibility may also involve a balance between each other's quirks
and differences.
Where did the test come from?
The
test you just took is the most scientifically grounded and customized
personality assessment on the Internet. It's a "smart" test because it
can tailor specific questions to you based on your earlier choices so
no one gets exactly the same questions. The content of the tests and
the game-like way the choices were presented are the result of over 15
years of research by the scientists at weAttract.com, Inc.
