What kind of man are you attracted to? A psychological test inspired by Carl Jung to reflect on your relationships.

Before you start, allow yourself something unusual: slow down. This is not content to be consumed quickly or to draw immediate conclusions. It is an invitation to listen calmly, to let what resonates do so in its time. You don’t have to decide anything, you don’t have to fit into anything. This space is just for you.

Many times we believe that attraction is chance, chemistry or simple habit. However, from depth psychology – inspired by the thought of Carl Jung – we know that what attracts us speaks less about the other and much more about our current internal needs. Not of what “should be,” but of what your emotional world is asking for today.

Below are six archetypal masculine energies. Don’t analyze them with logic or social expectations. See which one gets your attention first, even if you can’t explain why.

1. The protector or caregiver

This energy is calm, steadfast, and reliable. He does not need to impose himself or demonstrate strength. Their presence transmits security and rest.

If this archetype appeals to you, you may be tired on a deep level. Not only to do things, but to sustain, decide and be strong all the time. Your interior may be asking for care, containment, and the possibility of letting go of control without guilt.

The key question: are you prepared to allow yourself to receive, or is your identity too tied to being the one who can always do anything?

2. The warrior or conqueror

It is the energy of advancement, of clear purpose, and of action. Decide, lead, and move toward specific goals.

If this archetype calls to you, perhaps your inner world is asking for recognition. Maybe you’ve felt invisible, undervalued, or reduced to functions. Here appears the desire to be chosen, admired, prioritized.

The shadow: where there is constant struggle, rest may be lacking. It is worth asking yourself if you are looking for genuine passion or a way to escape from inner silence.

3. The trickster or eternal youth

Playful, unpredictable, seductive. It brings laughter, intensity and a sense of being alive, but it doesn’t promise stability.

If you are attracted to this energy, there is likely to be internal boredom or suffocation from the routine. You are not necessarily looking for a partner, but a spark that breaks predictability and awakens your vitality.

The risk: emotion without continuity can turn into instability. The question here is whether you are looking for authentic joy or emotional escapism.

4. The stable and silent companion

It does not conquer or provoke. It remains. Listen to me. Share.

This archetype usually resonates when there is emotional maturity. Drama and rescue are no longer sought, but understanding, calm, and real presence. Here love is expressed in constancy, in comfortable silences and in life shared without action.

The challenge: If you come from chaotic relationships, peace can be mistaken for a lack of passion. Can you accept calm without sabotaging it?

5. The traveler or free spirit

It represents movement, change and amplitude. It does not belong to rigid structures or fixed routines.

If this archetype appeals to you, your interior may be begging for space. Maybe you feel like roles, expectations, or obligations have shrunk you. Here comes the desire to breathe, explore and redefine yourself.

The key: to differentiate between shared freedom and escape from containment. Not everything that liberates necessarily builds.

6. The distant or inaccessible

Enigmatic, deep, emotionally reserved. It fascinates through absence.

If this archetype caught your attention, there may be an attraction to the challenge. Sometimes it reflects the unconscious belief that love must be earned and that being chosen by someone unapproachable confirms one’s own worth.

The caveat: depth doesn’t always come with emotional availability. Here it is important to ask yourself if you are looking for real connection or validation.

An integrative view

Protection, conquest, play, companionship, freedom and distance are not destinations, they are mirrors. There are no right or wrong choices. The archetype that attracted you reflects a current need, not a sentence for your love life.

The most important thing to remember is this: men are not the source of those needs. They only reflect them. What you long for—care, recognition, vitality, calm, space, or depth—is something you can also begin to offer yourself.

When that happens, relationships stop being a desperate search and become a more conscious encounter.

Tips and recommendations

• Observe your patterns without judgment. Conscience transforms more than guilt.
• Ask yourself what you need today, not what you needed before. The stages change.
• Do not confuse intensity with love or calm with boredom.
• Learn to give yourself internally what you expect to receive from the outside.
• If an archetype made you uncomfortable, it’s usually a valuable sign of something unresolved.

The attraction is not a coincidence: it is a message. Listening to him honestly is an act of self-knowledge and respect for yourself. Looking inward, in a world that is constantly pushing outward, is one of the deepest forms of emotional strength.
