Summary

The article categorizes men into four distinct mental types: Quitters, Dead, Wounded, and Victors, and provides relationship advice based on these categories.

Abstract

The author presents a framework for understanding men's mentalities, labeling them as Quitters, Dead, Wounded, or Victors. Quitters are skilled in one area but may give up easily in other aspects of life. The "Dead" are emotionally unresponsive, often due to neglect or abuse. Wounded individuals have experienced emotional trauma, requiring healing before engaging in a relationship. Victors are resilient men with scars from past lessons, embodying joy and a willingness to commit. The article advises women on how to approach relationships with each type, emphasizing that Victors are the ideal partners due to their reliability and adaptability, despite potential flaws in personality or lifestyle.

Opinions

  • The author believes that Quitters should be avoided in relationships due to their tendency to give up.
  • Men categorized as "Dead" are seen as requiring a partner with significant patience and a nurturing disposition.
  • Wounded men are advised to be avoided until they have healed from their emotional traumas.
  • Victors are considered the most desirable partners, as they have learned from their past and exhibit strength and joy.
  • The article suggests that women should pursue Victors, who are described as adult men with a capacity for commitment and an aversion to the idea of their partner's past relationships.
  • Victors are portrayed as not just good at relationships by default but as individuals willing to learn and grow with their partners.
  • The author implies that forgiveness and grace are crucial in relationships, alongside effective communication.
  • The article hints at the importance of compatibility in personality and lifestyle, even when a man is categorized as a Victor.

I’ve been able to put all men I’ve either known or who were clients into these four mental categories, what I call the Four Male Mental Categorization.

This is not a bad categorization to be in. I’m totally fine with it.

This list is all about mentality. Not personality.

4 Types of Men

1. Quitters: Men who don’t flaunt ability (but try to convince people they walk in humility). But, they quit on themselves, and they will quit on you faster than you can say, “hey babe, check this trip out.” Relationship Answer: Stay away. Male Tricks: This could be an athlete or musician. Anyone can be a quitter, but because they are excellent at one thing doesn’t mean they don’t quit on everything else. Why are they single?

2. Dead: Someone who has been neglected or abused and has no wherewithal. It is unfortunate, but this is still someone who will require a woman who’s a shieldmaiden in feminine energy and emotion. You tell him you are going to the park, and he wears a suit. He responds, “I did not plan on running.” I say “dead” because you prompt him to come over to you, and he doesn’t move. You say, “try this,” and he doesn’t. Relationship Answer: Unless you have the patience and you have the heart of a teacher (and probably are not a single mother), stay away. Male Tricks: This could be a jock. An athlete showing up to a fancy dinner with athletic clothes on — but if he has his guard up to others, that’s a sign of being wounded, not dead. Most geniuses are this, but for a different reason. It’s not that they are dead for the same reason. It’s that they are only comfortable in their space. Most creepers are this, as well, as has already come to your mind, more than likely.

3. Wounded: Someone who could have been any of the other 3 but is now an emotional wreck. Relationship Answer: Stay away until they are healed. Not even one exception. Or you will be the one who helps him and teaches him what to do for his future wife. Male Tricks: This could be a jock.

4. VICTORS: All victors have scars. Lessons learned and not repeated. Understand that because real women understand that a man with JOY and scars is a winner. To the men reading this, to be a victor, you have to take risks. What risk? You may ask. Well, that is where natural selection comes in. You have to be the victor, not someone else. It’s okay if you currently are in one of the other categories; that’s where humility comes in. Humility says to get help. Get a scar. Right now, you have an open wound, and time does NOT make scars. Healing makes scars.

Men flourish when they win. A victor is an adult man. And, he hates your exes (by the way) because, at some point, one of the other three men was [expletive deleted]. That’s cringe and makes you less attractive. Just how the male brain works. As we pretend your ex is dead, so should you. We are your 1 MAN. In our mind, you have no ex — rather, you have been rescued.

Side note: If you want a connection with your ex, marry him again. Victors don’t care. We have said before that women only defend who they love. Pick a man and delete the vocabulary of the other. A victor wants you and everything you come with. We don’t share women (your mind, body, or spirit). The other 3 deadbeats above do share you because they don’t know how to keep you completely interested in their life.

Relationship Answer: Chase him down! But remember, you have to be who we can see ourselves with. We marry huntresses and shieldmaidens with an abundance of genuine and confident femininity. Male Tricks: This is not a jock. Ever. No exceptions (there obviously are always exceptions, but in your mind, think no. Let their heart pursue you — which jocks won’t do. Only show that you are impressed AFTER they prove commitment. That’ll destroy them, and it will be beautiful to watch). Athletes, yes, but with sportsmanship. This is also a man of some sort of faith in a higher being. Not a religious man, just spirit conscious.

Although this is simple and finding the last category is not hard, this isn’t everything. We have to think about personality in regards to relationships.

Personality

Just because it’s a safe bet to marry the first victor you come across, and I wouldn’t say you shouldn’t marry him, a victor can still:

  • spend more than you want someone to
  • dealing with the aftermath of past season
  • plays video games too much
  • plays sports every free space he has
  • doesn’t check his phone enough
  • might not be into what you are and will eventually grow apart
  • dress a way you don’t like — like Hawaiian shirts.
  • might not like your friends
  • might have different cultural and family beliefs
  • his job might take him on long trips
  • and more…

A victor doesn’t just float right into being good at relationships. But, they are reliable to learn and adapt to the woman who captures his heart. And that doesn’t mean he will not struggle, and that does not mean will win all the time. Forgiveness and grace is still the second greatest attribute in a relationship. Communication is #1.
