David Blaine
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of David's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way David Blaine comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner David Blaine - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner David Blaine" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know David a little better. This page describes the disguise Blaine wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, David Blaine likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Blaine must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever David does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

David Blaine also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Blaine will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. David dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Blaine admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When David Blaine befriends someone, Blaine is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. He is very giving and generous, but his gifts are never anonymous - David expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, David Blaine often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as himself, for he does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If he is not in the leading role, he aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

David Blaine has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. David always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. David Blaine also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although he does not like others to realize just how important it is to him.

His outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. His own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest David more than anything else. David Blaine feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

His emotional responses, feelings and prejudices come across to others quite clearly and David Blaine could come across as rather moody and fickle. On the other hand, he is not impersonal or removed, so people are drawn to confide in him. At times Blaine may wish he were not so easy to read.

David has penetrating insight into people and a keen eye and ear for the hidden, unspoken, behind-the-scenes facets of life. He may seem intense and make other people a bit uncomfortable at times. There is also a sexual quality in David's manner which can be quite alluring, in a subtle way.
