Jon Bon Jovi
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Jon's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Jon Bon Jovi comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Jon Bon Jovi - 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 Jon Bon Jovi" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Jon a little better. This page describes the disguise Bon Jovi wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

He is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if he strongly disagrees with someone, Jon Bon Jovi will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Jon has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Jon Bon Jovi very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Bon Jovi is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often Jon Bon Jovi will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Bon Jovi's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.

His need to create harmony extends to his physical environment and personal appearance as well. Jon Bon Jovi appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. He does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From his home furnishings to his choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

He also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Bon Jovi is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Jon possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to him and finding the right person to share his life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Jon Bon Jovi - he is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases his self-confidence. Jon Bon Jovi does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on his partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being himself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Jon.

Others see Jon Bon Jovi as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to him, this is the sort of face Bon Jovi shows to the world. He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. His motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Jon Bon Jovi usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.

Bright, alert, quick of tongue and/or of movement, there is youthfulness about Jon's manner and appearance regardless of his chronological age. Jon Bon Jovi also always appears busy and active, and somewhat restless. Bon Jovi needs mental stimulation from his environment, or he will rapidly get bored.

He is direct, honest, and to the point - some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who Jon Bon Jovi is or what he wants - he is pretty much up front. Jon radiates a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when he is at his best. He seems to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.

The way Jon Bon Jovi comes across to others, particularly on first impression, tends to conceal certain important aspects of his. Specifically, what gives Jon pleasure, how he likes to give and receive affection, and what he seeks in friendship or love relationships are not at all apparent from Bon Jovi's outward demeanor. Jon Bon Jovi seems to send mixed signals, and this can create a bit of confusion for the people who are interested in getting close to him or knowing him on more than a superficial level.
