A supportive personality who can often sense what others need before they do. Able to provide a physically and emotionally supportive environment for a partner. Committed to nurturing the self-development and growth of those around him. Mature and wise, holds a long-term view of things while being mindful of life's risks and pitfalls.
You're wise and emotionally attuned, with a natural understanding of the differences between how men and women communicate and what can often get lost in translation.
You recognise that we are all made up of multiple parts, and seek to understand and nourish those parts in others.
You're a caring and nurturing partner from day one, but don't forget to use your caring skills on yourself. Take time for self-care, and nurture yourself so you can process your emotions in a healthy way and develop healthy self-esteem.
Be careful not to slide from supporting to smothering. Your healthiest version learns to make the most of your Fatherly tendencies, not becoming a dutiful Soldier who's lost touch with his own needs and desires.
Falling into supporting others at the expense of accommodating your own wants and needs. Getting so wrapped up in the needs of others that you forget to provide leadership and direction. Confusing codependency with being appreciated and valued. Without the support of the other archetypes the Father in you can be taken for granted as you lose your sense of the joy in life.
“I pour love into myself so I can pour love into others.”
What does that really mean?
I'm Joe, the men's coach and one half of Dating For Love. My work focuses on helping men (interested in dating women) build the sustainable attraction needed to attract a high-quality partner and secure a satisfying long-term relationship.
This starts with gaining knowledge of yourself, and how you approach your relationships. Through understanding attraction dynamics we can improve our relationship skills and expand our opportunities to find a great partner. Men's dating strategies are governed by 4 key archetypes - this is just one of them. They all need to be in balance so we can lean into our super-powers and avoid falling prey to our shadow sides.

A real method, real archetypes, real partner-selection skills. The Family Man is the program for men ready to be someone's husband - not someone's situationship. Five modules across nine weeks plus the four archetypes of masculine attraction.
All four energies are inside you. Your strongest is the one you lead with - the others are waiting to come online.
