Ginger's Story
The Ginger personality is very masculine, fiery and deep, but outgoing and caring at the same time. He is the gentle giant uncle with massive hands and a wicked sense of humour who is reaching out to lift you up and boost your mood. His outer shell isn’t the easiest to crack and looks scary and imposing, but his heart is soft like a sponge. Give him some time, patience and care, and you will see how he transforms into your best guide through tough situations. Ginger is a lively companion, but don’t think he is an extrovert! He still deeply cherishes his personal space.
Ginger is the archetype of non-toxic masculinity; strong, silent and yet deeply warm and supportive. On first encounter, ginger will be reluctant to say much; on the second encounter he might come across as fiery and sharp, but by the third meeting you will feel his warmth and balancing effect.
Ginger has a good ear for listening, but don’t force him to talk. He hates it! Tell him how you are, and listen when he replies- there is a lot of valuable information about the both of you in his advice.
