A natural leader with a commanding presence, motivated by clear goals. The King's strong sense of purpose can be very attractive to women. Confident enough to ask for what he wants, the King has healthy self-esteem and knows his value. He's able to achieve his vision and protect his domain with grit and determination.
When dating to find a relationship, your King takes the lead. You know your worth, you have a vision for your future, and you're not interested in settling for less.
You're willing to go after what you want in life, and can be put off by prolonged uncertainty while dating. If you're not feeling valued enough, you're likely to move on quickly.
You know you're worthy of great things and love is no exception. However, in always filtering for the very best, you can unintentionally block intimacy and connection. Be careful not to fall into the trap of flaunting your material success to impress a date - this can come across as insecure and get in the way of building a deeper relationship.
Great love is not superficial. Give a person time to show you she can hold her own and share your big dreams. Your healthiest version is an Empowered King, not a Tyrant.
With such a strong sense of purpose, the King can forget his spontaneous side. Power can become tyrannical or aggressive in the absence of compassion. Difficulty letting one's guard down and being vulnerable can prevent a deeper connection. High standards can lead to unrealistic relationship expectations and harsh judgements of potential partners.
“Instead of seeking to impress, I'm seeking to build a connection.”
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.
