Introduction

Many relationships seem to lack passion and excitement, and this can be attributed to the lack of understanding of male psychology. In today’s world, many men feel as though their skills are not needed or wanted in a relationship. This can lead to feelings of disconnection and dissatisfaction in a relationship.

It is important to understand the trigger of a man's Hero Instinct. By learning how to trigger that instinct, it is possible to rekindle passion and excitement in any committed relationship. A man needs to feel appreciated, respected, needed and valued in order for these instincts to be triggered. Men have been wired with an innate desire for adventure and someone they can protect and provide for emotionally, physically and financially. If women would have a better understanding of this basic truth then they themselves could become each other’s “hero” in the relationship setting.

When looking at what men find attractive on an emotional level it is something that cannot simply be reduced down into physical traits such as beauty or sex appeal- although those aspects are important too- because there is something deeper that resonates with the hero instinct that must be understood before any tangible improvement is made. Some may say it’s giving him space or respect or love- but all those are surface level traits if we don’t understand why he desires them on an instinctual level first. The Hero Instinct is ultimately about appreciation for what he does; when he has something meaningful that brings purpose into his life outside just material goods then his hero instinct will truly come alive!

 

What is the Hero Instinct?

The Hero Instinct is a concept introduced by relationship psychologist James Bauer, based on the idea that men feel naturally driven to step up and protect the people they care about. Typically, men want to feel like a hero in their relationships with women and this instinct can be triggered in each of them. Through subtle cues and actions, a woman can make her partner feel heroic in her presence.

This instinct is deeply rooted in many myths, literature, and media which suggests that the man should have an active role in protecting his loved ones. The Hero Instinct therefore taps into this male need to take strong and decisive action when it comes to the needs of the woman he loves. When triggered, it can be incredibly powerful for both parties involved as it encourages a man's side of chivalry and selflessness while added assurance for women that they have someone there to look out for them.

 

How to Understand a Man’s Hero Instinct

In recent years, social psychologists have presented a theory that helps to explain some of the motivating forces behind the male psyche. This is called the Hero Instinct. It is an instinctive desire for men to provide and protect the needs of their family and loved ones. This primal urge has existed since primeval times when men were tasked with hunting, gathering and protecting women and children from danger.

Understanding this instinct can help you know how to trigger it in a man's heart which will create deep connection and deepen existing relationships. A man wants to feel like a hero, so expressing love in ways that make him feel needed and appreciated will activate this urge – making him feel like he's providing protection, guidance or support. By providing validation that he is needed, capable, strong and respected you are enabling him to step into his heroic role within your relationship.

Sometimes simply verbalizing these feelings will activate his hero instinct; other times it can be more nuanced than that. He may need reassurance about his performance (at work or with other pursuits) so reflecting back his success or actions with admiration can trigger these feelings of self worth as well as seeing an issue from your point of view (even if you don't agree) can also reinforce the message that you need his protection or support to work through things together.

Finally making him feel at ease is also key – no one can be heroic in an environment where anxiety reigns supreme – let him know that he does not have to choose between himself and taking care of others; both matters fully coexist within your relationship.
