Even the most skilled player will fumble when he encounters a woman who is confident, competent, and totally self-possessed. Some people call you an alpha-female, a “boss babe”, or better yet, the perfect mix of beauty and brains. Regardless of the label, when a successful man meets you—he’s met his match.

Your cool demeanor, mental acuity and emotional independence are the essence of your appeal. With the “sage” as your dominant archetype, you are a goal-oriented woman, motivated by proximity to power and the pursuit of knowledge. Unlike the siren, you do not need to connect in order to feel fulfilled. When a man senses that you do not fundamentally need him, you ignite a man’s instinct to chase and conquer. 

Consider how fictional DC fixer Olivia Pope triggers neurotic behavior in the otherwise self-possessed President Fitzgerald Grant on ABC’s Scandal, or how international human rights attorney Amal Clooney turned the tables on a life-long bachelor George Clooney.

You thrive in traditionally male-dominated environments and you may enjoy conversations about business, politics, and current events. Sometimes you date for sport– your tremendous self-sufficiency allows you to play the field without fear of heartbreak.
