Male Gender Research

The 4 typical males in soaps:






  1. The hard guy: The male which is intimidating to look at and to talk to, we know his background family lifestyle and he's easy to read through his emotions and what can cause him to crack. He shows dominate and strong emotions for caring for his family and things that are a main aspect to the character. A known slogan for this character is "Don't mess with this guy!"




2. The handsome and screw over male: Girls love this sort of character a self centred and bitchy man. He's the 'smooth talker' and treat girls as if they are dumb to win them and make them look up at him. Not very social to other males and has the 'male gaze' for women due to eye contact, body language and ignorance. Also he treats men as targets to inflict jelously and fights which makes girls want him more.



3. The attension seeker (annoying): This type of character likes to be known and wanted by every single person. He trys to act like the big man which he fails most of the time of doing it. Many people find this character annoying and miserable.







4. The happy one: There's always a character that cheers up the mood in a soap, this character proberly has not got all the moves in social life but remians cheerful and happy and shows it to everyone.
