The 8 types of men that exist and what attraction to each of them means –

Have you noticed that you always fall in love with the same type of men? Have you ever wondered why you find relationships with guys who don’t suit you? You are not the only one. Feeling attracted to the same types of men is common and says a lot about your personality.

Don’t give the matter any more thought! In this article we tell you which are the 8 types of men that you can find and what it means that you feel attracted to these personalities

These are the 8 types of men, check if you can identify your exes in these categories:

1. The engaged or married

This is a classic: the man who is already engaged to another girl. Whether he is married or in a formal courtship, if you attract this type of “committed” man it is not a good sign.

The man who is already in a relationship, but is looking for romances with other women, believe me, is not a good match. Even less if he is the type who comes out with the typical phrase: “My relationship is bad. “We are going to separate at any moment.”

Stop! These types of men promise a breakup, while maintaining both relationships at the same time. Accepting this dynamic implies that you feel comfortable with being “the other”, with not having a formal commitment and settling for the little it offers you.

What does it mean if you are attracted to committed men?

If you are one of the girls who frequently feels attracted to committed men, this indicates that you are a woman with low self-esteem and self-respect. Allowing yourself to be in a relationship with someone who is not willing to make you a priority is harming yourself.

Reflect on these relationships and what they mean to you. Have you ever thought that if that man cared about you, he would have ended his relationship first to be with you? How long have you maintained your relationship while he promises to end it?

If you don’t value yourself and allow him to treat you like a second course, it will be difficult for him to accept valuing you as a couple.

If you evaluate the partners you have had, you will notice that they all share personality traits. It is a profile of man that you are attracted to and, unconsciously, you have made an unconscious pattern of choosing the same type of guy over and over again, even though you know that he is not right for you.

Psychological studies have proven that these choices are due to traits of our personality that are attracted to these types of boys. But do not worry! It is not a condemnation. You can learn and work on your personality to find guys who do make you happy.

2. The one who is emotionally unavailable

This is another very common type: he is single, he wants to be with you, but he is terrified of commitment. He assures that he suffered a lot with his previous partners, that he has wounds from the past, and that is why he is not prepared to assume a formal relationship.

An “emotionally unavailable” man may recognize that he likes and is attracted to you, but although he enjoys sharing with you, he refuses to formalize any relationship. He tends to focus a lot on the past and his love “traumas.”

What does it mean to be attracted to emotionally unavailable men?

If you’re attracted to guys who can’t decide to be with you, it’s likely that something in your past has made you feel unworthy of deserving a fulfilling relationship, even though you want to have one.

It is likely that in your childhood or adolescence some authority figure that made you feel safe and defended was absent, or perhaps it was an abusive figure or one that constantly ignored you.

It is possible that you grew up believing – wrongly – that you do not deserve that love and protection that you did not have since you were a child, and you feel that you must settle for men who replicate that lack and offer you little emotionally.

3. The one who doesn’t want to commit

This type goes hand in hand with the “emotionally unavailable” type, although their reasons for avoiding commitment may be different. They are usually men who still behave like boys: partying, lazing around or playing video games are their priorities in life.

Men like this usually live with their parents or look for a girl who can help them financially. They usually boast that they have had many relationships, but they cannot find the right woman.

They often claim that they have all the time in the world to mature and settle into a committed relationship “one day.”

What does it mean if you are attracted to men who are afraid of commitment?

If you are attracted to boys (more in mind than in age), chances are that you are a woman who needs affection, seeks support and protection from a man. You wait for a boyfriend to protect you, but you settle for the little attention that a guy of this type is willing to give.

Careful! Men who detect a woman in need of attention can use this to her advantage and manipulate you without giving you a real relationship. Check yourself and value yourself. A man who really wants a relationship with you will not make excuses and will be a stable support.

4. The one who allows himself to be “tamed”

You have surely met men of this type: those who allow themselves to be “tamed” or dominated by women. They are the type of manipulative kids with a weak character, who always agree with you and never dare to refute your opinions or express what bothers them.

They are people with very low self-esteem, insecure and with very little self-confidence.

What does it mean that you are attracted to these types of men?

This type of attraction says that you are a controlling woman, which is why you look for men who give in to your desires and whims, who adapt to your decisions and need you to give them the security and maturity that they do not have.

Even if you feel good with guys like this, this type of relationship is not healthy or productive for you. You deserve men who contribute to your life and complement you, who are a challenge to make you grow. Docile boys don’t change. They won’t be able to offer you anything other than agreeing to everything you say.

5. The bully: just accuse and criticize

This is one of the worst types of men: the one who criticizes, attacks and goes to the point of making you bullying. He doesn’t miss the opportunity to blame you for everything and nothing, he doesn’t like what you do and even criticizes the way you walk. Constantly attacks your self-esteem.

He is the type of man that makes you feel bad about yourself and many times their relationship seems more like a father against his daughter, because he treats you as if you were a child instead of respecting you as his equal.

What does it mean that you are attracted to these men?

Attraction to this type of men reflects a submissive personality. Your attitude seeks to please others, so much so that you accept mistreatment. You ignore your feelings and your self-respect.

Psychologically, this could imply that you have not known how to define certain emotional limits and therefore allow others (in this case, your partner) to burden you and hold you responsible for their own emotional problems.

The healthiest thing you can do is focus on your own emotions, recognize what your responsibility is, and understand that your partner’s are not a burden you should carry. Learn to set boundaries for your well-being and respect yourself above anyone else.

6. The one who needs to be saved

Has it happened to you that you have met a “special” boy, but he is so weak and vulnerable, so hurt, that he needs all your support from you to heal and continue? Have you had to go from being a girlfriend to a therapist?

These types of men appear “hurt.” Women are moved by them, they see that there is potential in them for a good relationship, so they embark on the adventure of becoming their healers and working to “fix” them.

What does it mean that you are attracted to these types of men?

You are a person who has the need to compensate others constantly. You probably feel indebted for some mistake made in the past. You spend your time compensating for that mistake to try to convince others that you are worthy and worth having a relationship with.

The best advice is to understand your own value, accept that you made a mistake and forgive yourself for it. You don’t have to live making up for everything you’ve done, you’ll only end up energetically and emotionally worn out.

7. The one who behaves like a parasite

This label speaks for itself. This type of man is a variant of the one who has a very youthful and uncommitted attitude, with the addition that he literally lives at the expense of his partner.

This is the classic man who approaches you to use you, because he knows that he can obtain some benefit from being with you: from a higher income to a better social status.

There is no healthy relationship with men of this type. Even if you try to be patient and maintain it, it is inevitable that the relationship and feelings will wear out because a couple has to rely on the efforts of both.

What does it mean if you are attracted to parasitic men?

To feel attracted to a parasitic man you must have problems with your self-esteem and you surely feel insecure about yourself as a woman. Projecting insecurity is a surefire magnet for these types of men who seek to take advantage of you.

The best advice is to work on your self-esteem. If you value yourself, your self-love will alert you when you find these men taking advantage. I assure you that the more self-confidence you project, the less you will attract these types of men.

8. The narcissist

The narcissistic type, in principle, is the dream man: he has beauty, intelligence, charm, charisma, he is successful, desirable, desired, attractive… He is a sorcerer without a magic wand who attracts many without problems.

But once you manage to connect with him, he is self-centered, disrespectful, demanding. He thinks he is better than everyone else and criticizes everyone around him, including you.

What does it mean if you are attracted to narcissistic men?

Chances are, you too are a narcissist and haven’t realized it. Egomaniacal people are attracted to each other, they also tend to clash and hurt each other a lot because they fight too much.

To avoid these types of guys you must make an effort. Reflect on what you feel about yourself: behind so much self-admiration and self-adulation there can be a lot of rejection. With willpower you can get rid of that unhealthy narcissism that only causes you to establish toxic relationships.

PLUS: The good man

Believe it or not, good men do exist. With the right attitude you will be able to find those men who, from the moment they meet you, know that you are the woman they want by their side, with whom they want to start a family to continue building life projects together.

Good men are not necessarily perfect, but despite their flaws they are capable of valuing women and are willing to create stable relationships to grow as a couple. They are those who take the time to get to know you, include you in their lives and offer you support.

If you have found a man of this type, it means that you are a centered woman, with emotional wisdom who has understood the importance of self-love and individual acceptance in order to form a truly happy couple.

Types of men who are not worth it

Now that you’ve read about the personality traits of these types of men, these are the types you should stay away from:
