Yourself?

Quiz quiz me!
You don't have to put in your e-mail address at the end to get your results.
Quite accurate for me I must say... though only 6% of girls would be my type... and 33% of girls hate me. (whew... that surely explained something.)

You're a hidden prince

You're a very balanced person. You have a talent for seeing beyond the details of day-to-day life. You refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of you. Love is the same way. Despite your natural charm, you can't pretend to care for someone if you're missing a deep connection. You're ready and able to experience romance and a powerful "spark" with someone special. Your biggest challenge may be finding time to connect given your busy (and often frantic) life.

How unique is your type

Your personality profile is similar to a number of men your age. Looking at over 10,000 men who have taken the test, about 33.6% (or 1 in 3 men) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in you is what makes you so unique.

What's dating all about to you?
Falling in love is a spiritual experience for you. A truly loving relationship helps bring meaning to your life. You try hard to make your date feel comfortable and have a good time. You're good at anticipating what other people need and giving it to them. But inside, you're usually on an emotional roller coaster. You don't want to reject nice women, but also take it very personally if you're the one rejected. You're constantly trying to find the "rules" for successful dating but often find they don't work.

You face two major challenges in finding the love of your life. First, because you're shy, you feel like you have to be someone else or "wear a mask" to go out and meet new people. You're left feeling like a distant observer, and women find it hard to truly understand you. Second, although your compassion for women is a very attractive quality, your focus on her can get in the way of getting what you want and need.

Quirks women notice
Like all men, you have your strengths as well as your quirks and shortcomings. Ultimately, you want to find someone who will love and accept you "warts and all." Because you're a private person, it's especially important that you find a partner who understands.

You're more cautious about getting into a commitment or saying "I love you" than most other men.
At times you can become so focused on ideas, plans for the future, or a new project that you lose track of the day to day details of life (like doing laundry, balancing your checkbook, or even eating).
You have such a positive attitude that at times your upbeat mood may irritate those who think you're "too happy" or aren't taking problems seriously.

Do women like your type?
Notice that 43% of women are generally attracted to your personality type. 8% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.

She'll be an enigma
You're looking for a woman who can be a pillar of strength and stability in your life. You'll be impressed by how responsible, strong-willed and hardworking she is. In addition to her job, she'll probably be actively involved in a social, community or environmental cause. If you're ever in a crisis, she's definitely the woman you'd want to come to your rescue. She manages to balance an objective and rational side with a very compassionate and caring side. She enjoys good conversation and will be straightforward in sharing who she is and what's important to her. She'll dress and act conservatively. But behind her serious exterior is a very loyal and faithful potential partner.
Overall, it's important for you to be with someone who is almost always cheerful and has an optimistic outlook on life. The ideal person you're seeking shares a number of positive qualities with you, including:

She's organized so she plans ahead for dates and is always on time

Number of women your type
Women with the exact type of personality you prefer are rare gems. Looking at over 10,000 women who have taken this test, only 6% (or 1 in 17 women) have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality you find extremely appealing.
However, there's a larger group, 22% (or 1 in 5 women), who have most, but not all, of the qualities and habits you like. These subgroups are charted below.

About two-thirds (67%) of the women have at least some of the traits you find attractive.
But you'd have a negative reaction to 33% (or 1 in 3 women), who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.

Opposites sometimes attract
You want to share your life with someone who has the same values, goals, and style you have. Research has shown that couples who have more in common tend to stay together longer. Still, sometimes differences can help create a "spark" and excitement about each other. Part of you wants to be more like her, or at least have her unique style in your life. She could be good for you in many ways:

Her sensible and pragmatic view on things can keep you "grounded" and prevent you from getting too caught up in somewhat unrealistic plans.
Her outgoing nature will help bring you out of your "shell" socially and help you have more fun at parties or outings with friends.


Quirks you can tolerate
The truth is that everyone is potentially "high maintenance." We all have our quirks and shortcomings. The key to long-term harmony is finding a woman who can tolerate (or maybe even enjoy) your "quirks," or the little personal oddities that make you unique. You seem okay with several common quirks that might come along with your "ideal" woman:

You understand that she really enjoys conversation and will often talk more (and louder) than you prefer.
You can appreciate why she wants to make decisions based on her own past experiences, even though it seems pretty narrow and unimaginative to you sometimes.
You can understand her career drive and crises at work, even though she sometimes drags these hassles home.

Downside of your "ideal"
In addition to her quirks, your "ideal" personality type may have other qualities that are more frustrating or challenging to deal with. Under stress, her quirks can become serious "flaws." But remember, these quirks are the "flip side of the coin," or the extreme end of qualities you otherwise find appealing. So, be prepared if:

Because she stays so focused on day-to-day life, she may question some of your plans and ideas for the future because they seem impractical and unrealistic given where you are right now.
She's energized by going out with friends and doesn't understand that such events have an opposite, draining effect on you. She doesn't always respect your need for private, quiet time to "recharge."

Deal breakers
You seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the women you're looking for, but there are types of women you clearly do NOT like. Women's habits and attitudes you'd have a hard time putting up with include:

Women who need frequent reminders that you care about them and would be upset if they thought you found another woman physically attractive.

Romantic sex
Good sex is important to you, but it's only one of many ways you connect emotionally with your partner. Whether it's sexual or simply an affectionate touch, you give and receive pleasure easily.

Among men your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 10 men (9%).

Is she sexually compatible?
You're looking for someone who values the quality of sex over the quantity. Ideally, you'd like someone who is talented at keeping sex new, fun and exciting.

What's ahead for you sexually?
A good sexual match plays a key role in your "ideal" relationship. You've kept your "wild," sexual side in check, but with the right woman you could open up the floodgates and let your sexy ideas and temptations flow. You probably feel pushed and pulled from two sides. One side wants to feel sexually free, while the other feels threatened if sex gets too intimate or emotional. You may need more time than most people to open up emotionally and sexually to a woman. Share your feelings with him and ask for her patience. A good woman won't mind pacing things, especially if it makes you more comfortable and daring in bed.
