About this report

We've customized this report based on your answers to the test. Some results will be very accurate while others may miss the mark.



Who You Are

You're a pillar of strength
You're a man with a very balanced personality and lifestyle. You believe in making room in life to relax, think, and have fun. 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. You know what real love feels like and you'll accept no imitations! You're honest, straightforward, and have lots of common sense. Because you don't "wear your heart on your sleeve" doesn't mean you lack deep feelings. In fact, you're deeply committed to your loved ones and the causes you believe in. Men as truly balanced as you are very rare.


What's dating all about to you?
Finding a loving relationship is a mission for you. You have clear goals and even a timeline in mind. Falling in love is an especially magical experience. You're suddenly free from the rules and thinking that guide your life. You usually keep your feelings and life under control. But remember, the bigger the dam, the bigger the flood when it breaks!

You face two major challenges in finding the love of your life. First, because your mind is so busy making sure you say and do the right things on dates, it's hard for your deeper and caring self to come through. It feels risky to share this part of yourself but most women need this emotional connection. Second, although having a vision of what you want can be helpful, the risk is that your high standards and rush to find the perfect woman can get in the way of loving a real-life imperfect woman.


Here's how you compare with other men your age







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 29.4% (or about 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.

How many other men have personalities like you?


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 have a pretty even-tempered personality and may not have any especially annoying or quirky habits. Of course, seeming to be "perfect" could be seen as a flaw by some, in which case you may just want to pretend to have a bad habit!
Do women like your type?
Notice that 90% of women are generally attracted to your personality type. 65% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.

Who You're Looking For

She'll be an enigma
You're looking for a woman who's a natural leader. She's smart, insightful, and willing to fight for what she believes in. You'll soon learn that she's a woman you can respect and count on to do what she says. She lives a very ordered and busy life, since she's always juggling her career, family and friends, and her involvement in community or social causes. Yet, she'll still make room for you in her life. You can be each other's escape from the ideas, pressures, and deadlines of each day.

You don't expect your partner to be in a good mood all the time. You understand that sometimes your partner will be down, get pessimistic or worry too much. These days are balanced by the many good days the two of you will share. In fact, you share a number of positive qualities, including:

  • She's organized so she plans ahead for dates and is always on time.
Here's how you compare to your "ideal" partner





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, 26% (or 1 in 4 women), who have most, but not all, of the qualities and habits you like. These subgroups are charted below.

About two-thirds (69%) of the women have at least some of the traits you find attractive.

But you'd have a negative reaction to 31% (or 1 in 3 women) who have some or many of the characteristics you clearly dislike.

How many women are your "ideal" type?

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:
  • Because her eyes are always on the future, she can help you plan ahead and get excited about goals without being bogged down in day-to-day practicalities.
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 can enjoy her enthusiasm for new ideas without taking her plans, which are often unrealistic, too seriously.
  • You can put up with her being overly critical and bossy at times.
  • 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:
  • She may talk a lot about her career ambitions and dreams for how to improve your community or the environment, but never takes practical steps to get there.
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 lack an imaginative or creative side.
Trade-offs you'll face

Good Qualities Challenging Qualities
Tries to balance spending time with a few close friends and going out with a big group of friends. Given the demands of family, friends, and activities, it's hard to find time alone together.
Comes up with lots of great ideas about how to do things better or improve the world. Creative ideas are often impractical or unrealistic.
Tries to balance an objective view of problems with compassion for the people and feelings involved. Competing drives from your rational vs. compassionate points of view can stand in the way of making decisions.
Takes time to look at a problem and keep options open, rather than rush in. Often postpones making decisions until the situation decides for you.



Sex

Making love and lots of it
As you probably know, you have a higher sex drive than most! Behind your serious and professional exterior you have a very sensual side. You know how to make even the "basics" especially erotic.

Among men your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 6 men (15%).

Is she sexually compatible?
You're looking for someone who really enjoys the "basics" sexually. You value the quality of sex, even if it means the quantity or frequency of sex is lower than you'd like.

What's ahead for you sexually?
If you end up with a woman less sexually charged than you, you'll have two options: open up your partner's "wild," sexual side or settle into a relationship with less sex, but more affection. These are tough options for someone like you. You spend most of your time being professional and stable, so sex is one of your few opportunities to let go and play. Use your natural honesty to share your reservations with your partner. A good woman will understand the importance you place on sex and will be willing to meet you half way.

Attraction Science

What is personality?
Personality is the set of traits and characteristics that make each of us unique yet relatively stable and consistent over time.

- People see and interpret the world differently.
- They want different things.
- They make decisions differently.
- They get excited and energized by different situations.
- They structure their careers, social life, and private time in different ways.


What does personality have to do with attraction?
The way in which people are similar or different in personality strongly affects their attraction to one another. Two people with similar values are more likely to become (and stay) friends or a couple, indeed part of compatibility is having "common ground." However, for many people, compatibility may also involve a balance between each other's quirks and differences.

Where did the test come from?
The test you just took is the most scientifically grounded and customized personality assessment on the Internet. It's a "smart" test because it can tailor specific questions to you based on your earlier choices so no one gets exactly the same questions. The content of the tests and the game-like way the choices were presented are the result of over 15 years of research by the scientists at weAttract.com, Inc.
