I just read some of David DeAngelo's stuff that I happened upon, and one of the more interesting is his "personality types that attract women". Hopefully some of you have read it and know what I am referring to. Two of the personality types he mentioned are "artist" and "a$$ kisser". However certain aspects of both these personality seem to contradict other things he has said in various articles. He says that if you kiss up to a woman and put her on a pedestal you give away your power and she loses respect for you and dumps you. However, the implications in "8 personality" types is that an a$$ kisser will still have some success with women if he becomes a sycophant. DeAngelo says an artist personality works because the artist is in "need of understanding" and the woman feel she must "fix" him, because the artist is emotionally messed up (which I personally take offense to, even thought it probably is true LOL). However, this strikes me as the same or similar to being sensitive and emo, the antithesis of the manly tough guy that is supposedly a "real man". I fail to see the fine line between these to "successful" personality types and the needy emotional kind of guy that women are not attracted to? Personally I figure I am somewhere between the adventurer and artist type personalities he mentions.
