Gender expert Dr Stephen Whitehead has published a handy A to Z of male types – 27 distinct and recognisable types of men – to help women make their way through the labyrinth of the male mind. <\/p>\n
Achilles: sophisticated and charming but also flawed and needy <\/p>\n
Adonis: obsessed with his body, usually sports a fake tan <\/p>\n
Alpha Male: extremely competitive, lives for the next deal <\/p>\n
Backpacker: sexy but dangerous; a relationship daytripper <\/p>\n
Chameleman: adaptable, smooth, urbane and attractive – but never the man you think he is <\/p>\n
Club Man: blazers, old school ties, football shirts. Into male bonding <\/p>\n
Cool Poser: fashion-conscious <\/p>\n
Corporate Man: relishes security, a follower not a leader, but faithful <\/p>\n
Gadgetman: techno-freak, poor eyesight. Insular and socially inept <\/p>\n
Jeffrey: social animal in a world of half-truths. Compelling character. <\/p>\n
Jester: loves laughter and an audience but prone to melancholy <\/p>\n
Libman: pro-feminist male, politically correct, very well read <\/p>\n
Manchild: ageing stud with rich tastes and little dignity <\/p>\n
Mr Angry: moody, aggressive but doesn't see his actions as damaging <\/p>\n
Murdoch: Napoleonic self-belief, usually justified. Ruthless, untiring <\/p>\n
Neanderthal: anti-feminist with outdated views on relationships <\/p>\n
Preacher: fundamentalist views. Single-minded, fervent and intense <\/p>\n
Risker: optimistic and overdrawn at the bank, likes to push his luck <\/p>\n
Romancer: calculating seducer, dislikes women but pursues them <\/p>\n
Rottweiler: lager drinker who loves his mates and his country <\/p>\n
Sigmund: lots of inner angst, low self-esteem but reliable and caring <\/p>\n
Teddy Bear: sensitive, vulnerable and a good listener – but not sexy <\/p>\n
Trainspotter: middle-aged, plenty of brown cardigans, and obsessed with data collection <\/p>\n
Uniform Man: emotionally insecure. Rigid, brittle temperament <\/p>\n
Wallflower: unambitious couch potato with predictable behaviour <\/p>\n
Wayne: heroic, unchanging, loyal and steadfast. Think John Wayne <\/p>\n
Zebedee: floundering and confused. Needs nurturing. Unreflective but busy <\/p>\n
I'd qualify myself as a mix of Sigmund and the Corporate Man. What would you say?<\/p>\n
