Matt Damon
approach to life and appearances

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

Forward-looking and progressive, he is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Matt Damon is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Damon sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and he wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.

The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Matt's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.

Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Matt Damon himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.

He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Matt Damon is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.

On a personal level, Matt Damon is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Damon probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Damon's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Matt Damon as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Matt does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.

Matt Damon is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Matt Damon is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Matt Damon needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Damon's work or outside social activities.

Matt Damon has a rather generous, open, broad-minded demeanor, and he likes to do things in a big way. If he does this primarily to impress others, Matt will find that many people prefer to avoid him. Even without meaning to, Damon can seem a bit arrogant or preachy.

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