What types of women are there? These 16 women are (or aren’t) good for you!

You’re single and looking for hot lovemaking, a friends with benefits relationship, or even a steady partner. This time, however, you don’t want to fall for the wrong type of woman again; instead, you want to finally find someone who’s right for you.

So now you ask yourself the question:

“What types of women are there? Which of them is suitable for me in terms of sex or a long-term relationship? And which women should men like me stay away from?”

Of course, every person is unique. You don’t want to pigeonhole anyone into any stupid categories.

Nevertheless, there are certain patterns that one repeatedly encounters when looking for a partner. Over years of dating, I’ve learned that certain types of women differ greatly from one another in terms of characteristics such as appearance, character, preferences, and values.

In this article, we will look at which women are out there and what (sometimes problematic) characteristics you can expect from them!

What types of women are there? 16 common characters

As I said before: Of course, every person is unique. You have to be aware that the following types of women are only rough categories and often clichés.

However, such categorizations help with orientation when meeting new women while dating. With this knowledge, you can better assess what type of woman you’re dealing with and whether she’s even compatible with you as a potential partner.

In another article, I’ll give you tips on how to find out which type of woman suits you . And you might also be interested in the personality types on Tinder .

1. The Party Girl

Anyone who regularly hits the city’s clubs knows them: We’re talking about mostly young, naive party girls up to their mid-30s, who roam the nightlife drunk and looking for fun.

You can also have fun with the party girls, especially on the mattress, long after the lights in the club have gone out.

These adventurous women are happy to be seduced into a one-night stand , especially if you ‘re out partying alone . If you’re looking for an “uncomplicated” type of woman, you might find what you’re looking for here.

However, these ladies are only partially recommended for a serious relationship. Unfortunately, it all too often turns out that these party animals are very superficial, and their IQ falls dangerously far below certain minimum standards.

They also often overdo it with alcohol, drugs, and flirting. Their constant thirst for adventure, even with other men, can be very exhausting and arouse your jealousy.

2. The Drama Queen

This type of woman is also known as the “dragon,” who breathes powerful fire. Such women have a hard time controlling their emotions. A relationship with them is like a storm with constant thunder and lightning.

She makes a jealous scene because you were talking to that beautiful blonde at the party? She suddenly starts hitting you with her pillow, crying, and calling you a mean idiot? Welcome to the drama queen’s big show!

If you don’t want to go under without a trace, you should smile through her strange outbursts of anger and avoid any arguments with her. Don’t even dream of seriously addressing her accusations—you’ll only lose.

Such toxic women also talk a lot about their arguments with other people—whether neighbors, coworkers, or friends. They revel in these negative feelings to the fullest. For you, the complaining is, of course, more stressful.

The positive thing about these furies: Their emotions don’t just boil over in everyday life, they are also usually real volcanoes in bed, spraying their hot lava.

If you don’t take her occasional emotional outbursts too seriously and know how to handle them, hours of lust and passion are guaranteed. But consider carefully whether such a woman is too demanding for a long-term relationship. Many men have tried to tame the lioness – and failed miserably.

3. The Buddy

Such women are truly attractive because they’re so open, approachable, and uncomplicated. You’ll experience things with them that you can’t do with most girls: drinking canned beer at festivals, playing paintball, or simply having a burping contest.

Many single men therefore quickly fall in love with this type of woman. Ideally, they get something like a best friend and (sexual) partner in one.

However, the female buddy type can be a nasty trap! Most guys fall foul of this at least once in their lives. With their open nature, female buddies often raise false hopes of love – only to then push us men into the friend zone with a broken heart .

Maybe you’ve experienced this before: She calls you, invites you to cook with her, and lies down on the bed with you to watch Netflix… but cuddling, kissing, and any other form of sexual advances are strictly taboo!

Over time, these women gather a pack of thirsty admirers around them, all waiting for their chance to conquer the girl (which will never happen).

If you want to seduce a female friend, you have to be very dominant from the start, flirt aggressively , and signal your sexual interest. This way, you make it unmistakably clear that a mere friendship is out of the question for you.

If she rejects you, that’s okay too. Or do you want to end up as one of her lapdogs? No? There you go!

However, whether a committed relationship with this friendly type of woman can work is questionable. Since she has many male friends who shamelessly adore her, you should definitely avoid feeling jealous.

4. The Adventurer

Yesterday Sweden, today Panama, tomorrow Japan:

Adventurers are crazy about traveling and want to discover the world. Their Tinder, Instagram, or Facebook profiles look like the website of a travel agency.

Often these are women in their mid-30s who want to explore the big wide world again during or after their studies before settling down and starting a family.

As a man, you should also enjoy traveling and be interested in foreign countries and cultures to make sure that these cosmopolitan women are a good fit for you. Otherwise, a partner who travels a lot and is always on the go will be too demanding for you – and conversely, she will consider you a “boring homebody.”

If you want to have children with this energetic lady later on, she should also be willing to scale back her travel plans a bit so that she can devote herself to everyday family life at home.

A compromise would be to enter into a good friendship plus with each other, which entails fewer obligations.

5. The family man

Calm, emotionally balanced, and down-to-earth: This is the best way to describe this type of woman’s character. Wild party excesses and sex adventures are just as alien to these family-oriented women as the diva-like self-presentation of some Instagram “top models.”

A stable, orderly, and harmonious environment is particularly important to these relaxed family people. These women feel most comfortable at home, surrounded by family and friends. Therefore, they don’t need to travel constantly.

They are very loyal and even affectionate and often have a strong desire to have children. Sometimes they even bring children with them from previous relationships.

And of course, such family-oriented women are best suited for a long-term relationship with marriage and children . However, if you’re looking for a wild, adventurous, and sexually “depraved” partner, this self-assured, well-behaved family person might become too boring for you in the long run.

6. The intellectual / artist

They are the exact opposite of party girls, because these types of women are more familiar with social dance events from sophisticated films, books and scientific studies.

These are educated and intelligent women whom you’ll likely meet in museums, libraries, and classical concerts or theaters. Sometimes you’ll even see them simply sitting in a park with a book, where you can chat with them .

Many intellectuals, however, not only have something in their heads, but also in their hands: they are active as artists, painting pictures, making music or acting in theatre.

Especially if this intelligent beast is artistically inclined, she can be very sensual and profound. Wonderful deep-talk conversations by candlelight in the evening, with red wine and delicious snacks, are a true delight with such refined souls.

Accordingly, they also expect the man to be able to talk about challenging topics on a date (and later in a committed relationship).

Superficial talk about football, cars, and the jungle camp will be a hit with these sapiosexual women !

When such intelligent women are simultaneously socially critical and question common moral values, they are often open to unconventional relationship models. Their favorite terms include “polyamorous” or “ménage à trois.” Simply put, they have a strong desire for sex with different partners.

7. The Nymphomaniac

This woman has no problem openly flaunting her sexual desires. She’ll cheekily dance up to you in the club, ask you what you think of her cleavage, and make humorously naughty comments that would make a choirboy blush.

At parties, you’ll recognize this “vamp” by her wicked look, with a short skirt and figure-hugging top. She’ll also wear leather if she’s into S&M.

If you’re not put off by this bold type of woman and are looking for seduction for quick sex , nymphomaniacs are a good choice. For a longer-term relationship, however, it’s advisable to look behind their Venetian erotic mask to discover the real person behind it.

Whether the woman is ready to commit to a committed relationship once she’s had her fun? It’s questionable.

In that case, you shouldn’t be prone to jealousy, of course. Because who knows which hottie she’ll hook up with at the next party and then live out her dirty fantasies with a one-night stand…

8. The Shy One

In terms of looks, she’s more of a wallflower: completely ordinary and unassuming, as she shies away from the spotlight. As a result, this type of woman is often overlooked by men, whether in everyday life or while partying at a club (where she doesn’t like to go anyway).

Even on dates, shy women are initially very reserved and even suspicious, and find it difficult to open up. Accordingly, it’s often very exhausting for men to try to get their answers and interpret their mysterious signals . A hot flirt or quick sex is less likely here.

The reason for this behavior can be bad experiences, possibly with ex-partners.

The positive side? Many insecure women truly blossom once they’ve gained the necessary confidence in dating. Then they reveal their radiant personalities and can be very loving partners.

Therefore, don’t be too quick to interpret her passive behavior on the first or second date as disinterest. This is an important tip if you’re still an insecure man yourself.

Of course, shy women are usually very secretive, as they don’t reveal everything about themselves right away. During the getting-to-know-you phase, it’s very exciting to discover new sides to these women. You’ll experience quite a few surprises.

Still waters run deep, as we all know… Perhaps the initially so well-behaved and reserved mouse will turn out to be a real tiger in bed? 😉

9. The Gold Digger Woman

This is the classic “princess” who snags a rich guy to finance her luxurious lifestyle. Her looks are already very exclusive, recognizable by expensive designer clothes and handbags worth thousands of euros.

Gold digger women can be found in financial districts as well as in yacht harbors and upscale nightclubs, where they lure wealthy millionaires.

Do you find such values ​​and behavior superficial? They are, because this type of woman is with you primarily because of your villa with a swimming pool or your Ferrari—and not because you’re such a kind-hearted man with character.

So she can indulge in luxury, she’ll sleep with you as a thank you. It’s a fair deal in principle… But do you really want a woman like that by your side?

No question: If you’re rich enough and the sex with her is exciting, you can tolerate her for a while, provided she knows how to behave. However, if you’re looking for a serious relationship with genuine love, these gold-digger girls are probably not worth it.

10. The political activist

She is, of course, a feminist, lives a strictly vegan lifestyle, and is committed to issues like climate protection, transgender issues, and “social justice.” You can find activists at political events, demonstrations, and universities, as well as on “woke” dating apps like Bumble or okCupid .

Should you approach and date representatives of this type of woman? Unless you’re also a left-wing, green, feminist-leaning political activist with similarly rigid moral values, I strongly advise against such women!

Firstly, they react allergically to healthy masculinity and the associated attempts at flirting because they see it as an expression of misogynistic patriarchy.

And secondly, these “progressive” ladies typically don’t tolerate dissenting opinions. If you even quietly question their views on a date, they usually respond with angry accusations of discrimination.

Okay, so no serious relationships with women like that. And what about one-night stands?

Such radical revolutionaries are often very sexually repressed because they’re too cerebral or emotionally unstable, and they lack a connection to their own femininity. For real fun in bed, you’re better off looking for a feminine lady who doesn’t view “being a woman” as a relic from the last century that needs to be overcome.

11. The animal lover

The animal-friendly lady comes in various forms, from dog owner to cat lady to “horse girl.” (Some more eccentric contemporaries, however, also have terrariums with lizards and tarantulas at home…).

Women with four-legged friends are usually very close to nature, internally balanced, and naturally have a big heart for animals, which suggests a positive and caring personality. They are also often family people, as I mentioned above.

This type of partner is perfect for you if you’re also an animal lover. You can go on dates and walk your dogs together or explore the world on horseback.

But be careful:

Maybe she’s just escaping into the animal world because she doesn’t get along with people. If she has five cats and three dogs but no human friends, alarm bells should be ringing.

12. The Scene-Goer

These types of women are true birds of paradise, recognizable from afar by their typical scene-specific appearance. They usually wear eye-catching clothing, bold hairstyles, and tattoos and piercings.

Accordingly, they like to move in subcultures such as punk, gothic or anime and manga.

As you can imagine, such women like to stand outside of social norms. They have unusual hobbies, leisure activities, and musical tastes. You can find them in all sorts of places, from festivals and black metal concerts to medieval markets and cosplay events.

By nature, they are individual, independent, and freedom-loving, even rebellious. This means that, from their perspective, “normal” mainstream men are often too conformist, superficial, and stuffy.

As a partner, such a scene-goer is only likely to be suitable for you if you belong to the same scene (or are at least open to it) and if you share her hobbies and musical preferences.

Because such women have their own moral standards, they are very open to wild sex adventures and unusual practices in bed. Things can get a little dirty, too.

When the cosplay girl in the leather costume takes out the whip, you know what I mean 😉

13. The Career Woman

She calls you from the office and says things like: “I’m sorry, honey, it’ll be an hour later tonight!” She doesn’t have time to have breakfast with you either, after all, she has to rush off to her next meeting in the morning.

For this type of woman in business attire, professional success and career are the focus, while men usually play second fiddle in their lives. Many alpha women in leadership positions are simultaneously dominant, ambitious, and brusque in their dealings.

They often want to set the tone not only at work but also at home. Furthermore, they often remain childless.

All of these are not exactly feminine characteristics!

But if she’s not bossing you around like a general or away on business trips for months, she undoubtedly has her positive sides too: The career woman is fully engaged in life, financially independent, and gets along well with herself.

So, she’s the ideal destination if you want to meet wealthy women . Perhaps there’s someone like that at your company to flirt with at work .

Are you, as a man, capable of meeting her on equal terms? And are you looking for a strong woman, not a vulnerable mouse? Then you can have a satisfying relationship with this businesswoman.

14. The attention seeker

Fishing for compliments is one of their favorite activities. This type of woman primarily operates as an influencer on social media, especially on platforms like Tinder, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or even OnlyFans.

The goal of such girls is to collect as many likes, followers, and positive comments from men as possible through erotically provocative pictures and videos. This provides them with ego gratification. It’s their drug.

I strongly advise you not to associate with such women for two reasons:

First of all, it’s not exactly mentally healthy if you need to constantly boost your self-esteem with the attention of horny single men.

And secondly, you’ll never be able to get a date with such women if you message them on platforms like Instagram . Sexual openness is just a lure to get you to like, comment, and subscribe.

But you can also find attention-seeking narcissists in real life. They talk about themselves all day long, without stopping. They don’t care how you feel when you come home tired from work in the evening.

What someone like this is addicted to is admiration and recognition from others when dating. There’s no room for you in their egomaniacal world—so find another partner!

15. The Spiritual

These types of women have a connection to the very top, to the “higher powers.” They are interested in spirituality, esotericism, fortune-telling, faith healing, and other irrational things. Some of them even believe in angels or are even in contact with them.

Spiritual women can be found in Buddhist seminars, yoga retreats, meditation groups and similar events.

Whether you’re on the same wavelength and can become soulmates ? That’s what she’s so desperately looking for? It depends…

If the lady has a very twisted worldview, you should be similarly inclined so that you can harmonize. The hardcore esotericist and the scientifically rational “technician” would be a very odd couple.

But if she “only” meditates a bit and reads her horoscope online for fun, that’s no reason to worry. Then, as a rational man, you can easily engage with this type of woman in a toned-down “light” version. And perhaps take a slice of inspiration from her to be a little less cerebral.

Her preoccupation with spiritual matters may even make her less superficial than the general public and more thoughtful about many things in life. This awareness would then be an optimal prerequisite for a committed relationship.

16. The Alpha Female

Similar to the career woman, the alpha woman is very dominant . However, here I’m referring to a certain type of woman who tends to set the tone in her private life—regardless of her professional status.

By “domination,” I don’t mean a lady in latex and leather who’ll give you a few good lashes with the whip. Rather, I mean women who keep their men on a very short leash.

In a committed relationship, these control freaks dictate your entire everyday life: how you dress, which toothpaste you use, and whether you’re allowed to watch the football game with your friends on Saturday.

Even during the flirting phase, you can recognize such alphas by their unusually bold, aggressive, and cheeky nature. This comes across as quite masculine.

Do you want a harmonious, tolerant, affectionate, and feminine partner at your side who will give you plenty of freedom? Then you should definitely stay away from dominant alpha hens. They’re only suitable for a short-term sexual fling—if at all.

Recognize women’s types: Find out their character!

First impressions when getting to know someone can be deceptive. Unfortunately, we humans tend to make hasty assumptions about someone’s character based on their appearance and behavior:

• For example, we men often consider pretty ladies to be arrogant and aloof . However, during conversation, we discover that the supposed iron angel has a very warm and welcoming personality.
• Or you meet a seemingly “superficial” party animal who turns out to be an intellectual student. These smart academics also want to have fun partying and not just brood over their books…

What I’m trying to say with these two examples is that it takes time to recognize the right type of woman your partner belongs to. That’s why you shouldn’t immediately pigeonhole and label a woman when you first meet her.

Take your time and find out who she really is! See what personality lies behind the facade and what makes her tick!

To achieve this, you need to ask plenty of in-depth questions on your date and listen carefully during the conversation. This way, you can learn more about her preferences, values, and other important things.

Get involved with different types of women!

Some men also have the problem that they seem to “magically” attract a certain type of woman, even though these girls are not suited to them at all:

• For example, a man repeatedly ends up with a toxic woman who lies to him, bosses him around, or brings a bag full of psychological problems into the relationship.
• Another man is interested in a type of woman who constantly gives him the cold shoulder. He finds himself struggling to find a partner, either on dating apps or in real life, and eventually gives up in frustration.

If you recognize yourself in these or similar problems, you urgently need to question and change your prey pattern. Try out different types of women when dating, instead of focusing on just one type that consistently fails you!

How to switch to the right type of woman

To optimize your unfavorable prey pattern, you should ask yourself these questions in 4 consecutive steps:

1. What type of woman have I chosen so far? What characteristics did all these (dating) partners have in common?
2. Why are these women incompatible with my personality? What are the irreconcilable differences between me and them? What needs can we not fulfill in each other?
3. Why do I still feel so strongly attracted to this type of woman, even though they’re not really suited to me? What do I hope to achieve with them? What hidden desires do they serve in me? What experiences from childhood and adolescence might also play a role here?
4. What type of woman I’ve overlooked or avoided so far would actually be a much better fit for me, my life, and my personality? And why? Why have I ignored such good girls so far, and how can I change that?

Once you have clarified these (some of which are psychologically very profound) questions for yourself, you should start looking for a partner again.
