Jack London
in Relationships

Warm, loving and generous in his relationships, Jack London inspires tremendous devotion and loyalty in his loved ones. This is good, since he would never settle for anything less! Jack wants to be adored and worshipped like the royalty he feels he is, and it is difficult for anyone to resist the warmth and attention London lavishes on those he cares about. Jack London has a great deal of pride and needs to be recognized and appreciated. The way to really hurt his feelings is to ignore him. He is genuine, sincere, and has a strong sense of personal integrity. Jack London hates emotional games and dishonesty.

Jack London often makes decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because something "feels right" or because he has always done it a certain way and he is uncomfortable changing it. Even when London thinks he is being rational, his prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence his thoughts a great deal. Jack is comfortable talking about feelings and personal subjects, and sharing confidences, which enables others to express their own inner feelings with him as well. Jack London has good psychological insight into others.

He needs love, affection, nurturing and enjoys being pampered - all of which is fine, as long as Jack London is willing to give as well as receive the attention and "babying". Jack has a rather childish dependency on loved ones, which can make him cling to them, or be very uncomfortable with any conflict that could conceivably lead to separation. Creating a loving family is certainly a challenge for Jack - one that can be enormously satisfying if he can achieve it, and a source of great sadness if he cannot.

Jack has an unusual sense of humor and enjoys acting a little bit crazy or outlandish sometimes. London craves excitement and emotional freedom and he likes to break the rules and take risks. Anything new or untried appeals to London and he has little patience for restrictive customs. Jack London is attracted to unusual, creative, or offbeat people and nontraditional lifestyles and relationships.

London is reserved and shy and his thinking is controlled and somewhat slow. When talking, Jack London sometimes may have the feeling that the words get stuck in his throat. Because of his disciplined mind, Jack is able to concentrate easily.

He is open and unconventional in his attitude towards love relationships, romance and sex. He enjoys socializing, bringing people together and having many friends of both sexes. Jack London values friendship very highly and in fact, he is more comfortable being a friend than a lover. Jack desires an intellectual rapport or spiritual bond with his love partner, but deep intimacy and emotional bonding do not come easily to him. The traditional "husband" and "wife" roles do not appeal to London, and he abhors jealousy and possessiveness since he feels that no person truly "belongs" to another. Jack London appreciates relationships in which his love partner allows him plenty of freedom and is not very emotionally demanding.

Jack is attracted to foreigners, exotic places, traveling, and to people who can expand his horizons, teach him something, or show London places and worlds he has never experienced before. Sharing a philosophy or ideal with his love partner is important to him.

Also, Jack London feels love and kinship for people everywhere, not only with his own family, nationality, or group. Finding similarities and making links between people from differing backgrounds or with different perspectives is a gift of his.

Intimacy does not come easily to Jack London and he may appear cold or unfeeling to others due to his emotional reserve and caution. Perhaps due to painful relationships and separations in his early life, London does not trust others very easily and it takes a long time to break down all of his barriers and defenses. He may feel that he has few friends or people that really care about him. Jack London needs to learn to value and love himself more and to express his appreciation for others more openly.

When it comes to love relationships, London is likely to feel pulled in several directions at once. In addition to his desire for depth and security in his relationships, Jack London has an impulsive side and a need for a lot of variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if Jack acts on his spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on his personal life.

Jack London is not a traditionalist where love and relationships are concerned, and he often feels that formal commitments and conventional relationships are too binding and restricting. Thus, Jack is not very comfortable with forming lasting attachments or letting other people depend on him. He may be attracted to wild, unreliable, highly creative and/or unstable people who do not offer him any security. Even if Jack London professes to want something steady and solid, he is very reluctant to give up his freedom and autonomy for its sake. At best, he is suited to serial monogamy or relationships that leave London a lot of breathing space.

Jack London experiences powerful, compelling emotional and sexual attractions, and he may feel that he has little choice or control over his desires.
