Romance: The Four Most Popular Women Archetypes

womenMen, how would you identity the type of girl you’re most drawn to? The girly-girl who always looks as if she just walked out of a salon? The business woman with a booming career? The adventurous gal who will show you a damn good time? How about the mysterious one whom you’re just dying to get to know?

Psychological studies showcase that there are four categories of women that seem to bring out the best in men: the femina, the islander, the regal and the entrepreneur.

According to psychologists, all women contain a little of each archetype within themselves, with one taking precedent over the others. Which one are you? (I would say I’m a mixture of all four-but definitely the femina and the entrepreneur the most).

1)      The Femina

This lady always looks as if she has a daily stylist—she’s fasionable, classy and loves the finer things in life. She has this irresistible charm that makes her easily desirable to many men. She portrays an image of confidence, friendliness, vulnerability and a sweet touch of femininity. A few famous femina women would be Princess Diana and Halle Berry.

Why are men attracted to Femina? She makes an effort to maintain her style and beauty, and proudly (but humbly) showcases it. Men are visual creatures and they admire a woman who can externally take care of herself. Better yet, a femina doesn’t dress in accordance to win the approval of men but rather, she does so to satisfy herself.

How to channel the Femina: Accentuate your beautiful physical aspects gracefully and modestly. Do you have great legs? Show them off with a cute skirt! Do you have nice shoulders? Wear a flattering top. Women don’t always feel confident; however, the most attractive quality in a woman is when she executes confidence. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy—you will become what you think you are. Fake it til you make it, honeyzzz!!

2)      The Islander

She’s the energetic, comforting and lively gal.  No man will ever use the word “boring” on this one! She easily wins over the male heart with her smile and natural charm. She’s a non-conformist and definitely a stand-out-of-the-crowd type of gal. She rightfully owns her own unique style. Famous islander women would be Shakira and Nicki Minaj!

Why are men attracted? Her spontaneous nature allows for her to keep it spicy and interesting—never dull. She keeps her men on their toes constantly; she definitely knows how to keep the gents entertained!

How to channel the Islander: Be adventurous. Go do something you’ve always been afraid to do, but wanted to do anyway. Keep it lively. Embrace Drake’s “YOLO” mentality (you only live once).

3)      The Regal

This selective, reserved and well-mannered woman is well aware of what she desires and fully knows that she will obtain it. It takes a strong, confident man to be with a woman like this however, when she finally opens up, men will see that her selectiveness was worth the chase.

Why are men attracted?: Men like the array of mystery she possess and they enjoy the fact that she isn’t too easily available; it’s almost as if they’ve won a diamond when they finally win her over.

How to channel your Regal Woman: Listen 80% and talk 20%. Be sincerely interested and ask questions. When you truly listen to a man, you are accomplishing two things: 1) making the man feel as if he’s important enough for you to be listening and 2) you’ll get a further glimpse into his lifestyle/thinking/brain. Don’t forget to add your own insight and reveal some details of yourself, as well! No one likes talking to a paper!

4)      The Entrepreneur

The career woman who’s intelligent, independent and driven for success. Her male partner needs to be as equally successful or more successful than her to keep up—she wants to be a power couple. Her partner needs to be dominant and assertive. She will easily override passive aggressive men and have no patience for that. Famous entrepreneur women are Oprah Winfrey and Hilary Clinton.

Why are men attracted? She’s mentally stimulating and can carry an educated conversation. Men of high social ranking look for women who can keep up with them intellectually, and it’s highly sexy when a woman can talk about politics, philosophical ideas, science, the news, etc. She’s driven and continuously trying to better herself—something that’s always a positive trait.

How to channel that Entrepreneur in you: Be that driven girl who’s investing in self-growth and improvement. Whether that be to obtain higher education, grow your business or further establish social, business connections. You should avoid being a perfectionist, but keep in mind that everyone has improvements they can strive to work on. Make a plan and set out following it.

Women: what type are you? Men: which type of women are you most attracted to?

Xoxo,

Chrissy
