Two Types of Men: Mr. Fabulous vs. Mr. Strong (Steady)  

....the first inclination of boredom or the first disagreement comes about, they begin to question the entire relationship.

Some of it may be because of his childhood and past unresolved issues, but even with years of therapy, this type of man will always have a tendency, even if it’s slight, to have doubts about a relationship from time to time because he’s a little more feeling oriented than a man who is more stable. 

Therefore, the fabulous man is very exciting and the downside is that his doubts and impatience will scare you from time to time. 

A strong and steady man is more predictable and, therefore, safer. This type of man is not given to having a lot of doubts once he has decided he cares for a woman. He will not have the mood swings because he does not get as high as often.

He does not rely on the intensity of feelings that a fabulous man does. He feels deeply, but it takes him longer to achieve this emotional bond with a woman. There is less concern of him being unfaithful, of having doubts once he is in a committed relationship.

The downside of this type of man is that, at times, he will be a little boring. 

In reality, he really isn’t boring, but whenever anything is safe, it feels a little dull. A safe job, a safe stock portfolio and safe friends all aren’t as exciting because there isn’t as much to lose. The strong and steady man, because of his predictability, won’t provide as many emotional swings that some women crave.

When I go over this with a client, inevitably what they say is, “I like a mixture of both.” Remember, every man is a mixture of both, but they will have one primary style of relating to the world.

If you insist on having a perfect mixture of both (50-50), then what you really want in a husband is a father figure.

My daughter at the time of this writing is three years old. As her father, I am supposed to be fabulous and strong. What enables me to do this with her is that I am completely in charge of her life.

I do not depend on my daughter for my emotional well being. A man who is both doesn’t need a woman in his life unless he’s looking for a woman to dominate.

 He doesn’t need anyone to make him be complete. He’s complete in and of himself, or in other words, he’s narcissistic. So the simple version about determining what type of man you want is, would you rather have a man that is going to scare you at times (with his self doubts or temper) or would you rather have a man who will bore you at times (with his steadiness and strength)?

Not all the time, not even most of the time, but these uncomfortable traits will appear because every gift comes with a shadow.

Remember You can have either type of man you want, but the type of man you pick determines how you have to interact with him to maintain a relationship.
