We all know that no two men are the same—but have you ever wondered why certain men react the way they do? Why some are easy to guide and influence, while others dig in their heels and resist at every turn? In Chapter 2 of “Mastering Him: The Secret Art of Gentle Control in Relationships” the book boldly categorizes men into distinct types, helping women decode their partners and figure out exactly how to handle them.
This isn’t your typical relationship advice about “understanding” your man. No, “Mastering Him” goes deeper. It breaks men down into psychological types, revealing what drives them, what scares them, and—most importantly—how to subtly influence them without them ever catching on. Think of it as a relationship cheat sheet that allows you to know what makes him tick before he even knows it himself.
Let’s face it—there are many relationship books out there, but none dare to do what “Mastering Him” does. This chapter not only tells you who you’re dealing with but also how to steer him based on his personality type. Here’s the kicker: once you know which type you’re dealing with, you’ll know exactly how to influence him effectively. And let’s be clear—this isn’t about finding common ground or “meeting in the middle.” This is about knowing how to quietly control the dynamic so you can get what you want while making him feel like it was his idea all along.
The Different Types of Men—and How to Influence Each One
Chapter 2 doesn’t sugarcoat it—it gets right to the heart of the matter. The book categorizes men into five key types, and once you recognize which one you’re with, the rest is a game of subtle influence. Each type responds differently to influence, so knowing what you’re up against is crucial.
1. The Protector
Who He Is: The Protector thrives on feeling responsible. He wants to care for you, make you feel safe, and ensure everything is secure. He’s all about providing and protecting, and his ego is tied to your sense of safety.
How to Influence Him: Want him to do something? Frame it as a way for him to take care of you. Subtly suggest that his involvement will make you feel more secure, whether it’s handling finances or making decisions around the house. His need to protect you will kick in, and he’ll willingly take action—thinking it was his idea all along.
2. The Adventurer
Who He Is: The Adventurer craves excitement, novelty, and freedom. He’s not one to settle into routines or structure. He’ll resist anything that feels like a trap or a cage, preferring to keep his options open.
How to Influence Him: Forget structure—this guy needs spontaneity. To influence him, you need to present your ideas as fun, exciting, and—most importantly—not restrictive. Want him to spend more time with you? Suggest spontaneous activities that feel adventurous rather than making him feel tied down. Keep things light, and he’ll come running.
3. The Intellectual
Who He Is: The Intellectual is all about logic and reason. He needs to analyze everything and approach problems with a cool, rational mind. Emotions aren’t his forte—he’s driven by facts and what makes sense.
How to Influence Him: With this type, emotion won’t work. Influence him by appealing to logic and reason. Present your suggestions as the most rational choice. Want him to prioritize something? Break it down into pros and cons, and show him why it’s the smartest option. He’ll feel like he made the decision based on his own intellectual analysis, but really, you guided him there.
4. The Provider
Who He Is: The Provider is focused on stability, security, and responsibility. He’s driven by the need to create a secure future—whether that’s financial stability, a secure home, or a clear plan for the future.
How to Influence Him: For the Provider, everything is about practicality. To influence him, frame your suggestions around stability and security. Show him how your idea makes sense in terms of long-term benefits—especially financially. Whether it’s saving for a trip or buying something practical, the Provider will feel compelled to take action when it aligns with his sense of responsibility.
5. The Dreamer
Who He Is: The Dreamer is all about vision and big ideas. He loves thinking about the future and imagining all the possibilities. He’s driven by creativity, ambition, and the idea that life is full of potential.
How to Influence Him: To influence the Dreamer, you need to align your suggestions with his vision. Appeal to his big-picture thinking, and frame your ideas as part of his broader goals. He’ll be much more inclined to go along with your plan if he believes it fits into his grand vision for the future.
