Men Tip #1 – Communicate Better Knowing the Personality
Since joining XL Foundation around 5 or 6 years ago, I’m always very alert to the mannerisms and thought processes of other people.
What I didn’t realize then was understanding people also applied to knowing how to communicate with women better. And you know that includes dating.
XL Foundation has a centerpiece based around wealth profiling which is something similar to the Meyers / Briggs personality test, with the added advantage that the Wealth Profile test targets the easiest way to wealth creation.
After my divorce, I unconsciously used profiling in determining my better ‘partner fit’ as far as personality goes, to better communicate.
I did make sure that I wasn’t fixated around profiling, being the one and only factor in dating, and I think that’s really important to keep in mind.
It’s important to understand that the dating cycle isn’t about projecting false impressions but rather being honest. That said, being better equipped in how best to get your thoughts and ideas across to someone else is simply a good communication technique that you can use in all walks of relationship.
What’s In It For You?
While personality plays a part in finding your soulmate, you really do need to make a list of what those other important areas are – and they need to be YOUR important criteria.
Think long and hard and refine your list as you go along.
As an example, I initially had ‘age between 30 – 40’ on my list however I dropped in off mine since, to me, age was eventually irrelevant.
We all need to consider our requirements as a whole.
Personality Types to Communicate Better
What is really interesting is how women of different personality types think, behave and chat in a totally different way.
So when men consider it’s impossible to figure out women and how they think, what’s really happening is there’s, in fact, 8 broad groups of communication types within the female psyche.
You might think that’s even more confusing however once you have a handle on what it represents, you’re able to determine the person’s ‘type’ which gives you what I’d call a bit of a roadmap into her thought process, behavior, and reactions.
Now that’s got to really help, wouldn’t you say?

There's certainly merit with what you say. I'm sure it's going to get a lot easier when I'm able to segment people into various areas and drill down to concentrate on their communication mannerisms.
Women certainly are a difficult bunch to undertand though – the reason I wrote the Discussion forum post on Why Marriage Is Their Ideal Partnership. But that's probably due to different value systems between them and me – I was reading something the other day from John DeMartini about value systems. The ladies will have different ones to men due to their role and place in both society as well as the family unit. Well, I presuming anyway :)
I'll check out the Wealth Profile thing a bit later tonight to see if it makes any sense to me. I know there's a few of them around.
