The Truth About Men

There are three types of men: the good man, the serious man, and the game player. Helping you choose Mr. Right.

The first thing women need to understand is that men are completely different than women.

There are three types of men:

1. The Serious Man- These are the men that are serious in their pursuits. They are honest with their feelings and know what they want in a woman. They do not play games and are mature in their decsions. They know who they are and expect the same from their partner. They seek a woman who is an individual, independent, and mature. They do not use emotional manipulation with women because they seek a real relationship built on mutual understanding. They expect to be treated with maturity and honesty. Sometimes it is hard to find these men and most of the time they prefer friendship first. They use their heads when making decsions and do not have intense one night stands. The only way to attract one of these types of men is to be completely real with them. They prefer that you're yourself and if you're not they will intuitively know. They want to live a peaceful life with a good woman. They do not have a problem with commitment.  Emotional maturity is a must with this type of man. If your looking for drama and games let me introduce the second type of man, the game player.

2. The Game Player- These men like to get in your head. They like to string you along, give you the ride of your life, and manipulate you every chance they get. If you listen to your intuition you will make good choices. They are fairly easy to spot. They start arguments for no reason at all, this is their main form of manipulation. They do this because they either are waiting for a reaction from you or they need to call someone else. They have sex with anything that walks and, of course, behind your back. They say they are not ready for commitment or a relationship, they say this because they are not done playing games. This should be the first clue. They do not call you unless they need something and beware of them calling you a few days before they need you. They want to manipulate you into believeing they like you and the relationship will progress further. They use nonverbal communication to string you along so that you look crazy when you ask where the relationship is going. Nonverbal is their best way to communicate they like you and want you. However, the nonverbal communication is also a form of manipulation when used for this purpose. They are never direct and honest to you or themselves. They usually have big egos and are selfish. They pursue weak and vulnerable people. Don't let their manipulation get you down. The best thing to do is run away as fast as you can. Don't become the victim instead become the victory. There is no changing this man. Lets not give this type of man another sentence in this article, moving along to The Good Man.

3. The Good Man- This man wants so much to grow up and find themselves. They are usually a bit younger, but are going through the transformation process. They are transforming from the immature boy to the serious man. They never used emotional manipulation much and if they did they feel bad about it. They are cool and honest with themselves. They have had their flings, but eventually decide it's not for them. They want a good woman to commit to. The problem with these type of men is when they decide to change. Usually a good woman will come along and they will start to grow up. You have to remember that this man will decide to change on their own when all the reinforcements are in place. They will not a second earlier. They have a hard time leaving the boy and developing into a serious man. Lets have faith though because these men do eventually turn into that serious man at the top of the page. Sometimes you have to invest more time into these men. Friendships and freedom are very important to them. Becareful that you do not mix up the game player and the good man. If you have invested a lot of time into one and it seems that he is playing games with you then you will know that he is the game player and not the good man. Good men will be honest with you. Just becareful out there and make sure you choose the right type of man.

The title intrigued me seeing that I might have some insight on the subject. What are your feelings of the man that is made up of more than one of these, is that possible? Just a question. I thought your presented your cases very well and with clarity for perfect understanding. Nicely written. Michael

Michael has a valid question...I have a tendency to be attracted to men that from your breakdown fall under the "Game Player" category. However, these individuals always tend be so serious about what they want, are honest, and are not smoochers: they are always willing to contribute. They sometimes posess the minipulative characteristics but strive to build solid friendships. One can look at all these characteristics and say they are all stages/part of the manipulation process. Question is...how do you identify? How can you categorize men if they posess attributes from each category?

These are the three basic personalities that most men possess. There is always more room for sub-categories, but these are the main. If a man possesses attributes from each category it makes even more sense to me. The Good Man as I said in the article will eventually in his own time turn into The Serious Man, so it is likely he will possess some of the attributes of The Serious Man that he will become and of The Game Player that he may have once been. It is a process of transforming into The Serious Man that I was mainly concerned with when writing the article. I can even say that some Game Players may realize very late in life that they seek more. They may not have realized that they truly want to become The Serious Man. The main issue is making sure you don't stick with a Game Player that will not transform for 30 more years. It's about choosing wisely according to what you want in a man. I've dated The Game Player also and I know that I won't waste another minute on this type of man. I want one who have evolved into The Serious Man. Of course they all correlate whith each other, they were meant to.
