Paul Stanley
approach to life and appearances

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

Paul Stanley has a sensible and realistic outlook on life and his two feet are always planted firmly on the ground (though he may, on occasion, have his head in the clouds). Others often see Stanley as a rock of strength, solid, reliable, dependable, and constant. He is, in fact, amazingly consistent for he possesses great powers of endurance and does not like to make changes or adjustments to his regular routine. Paul does things deliberately and methodically and does not easily accommodate the unexpected. Though he has a gentle, even soft, appearance, Paul Stanley is enormously strong-willed and stubborn. He follows his own pace and refuses to be rushed or pushed into anything before he feels sure about it. Stanley can be coaxed and persuaded by charm, beauty, love or affection - but never forced. He will not fight either, but simply stubbornly resist any attempt at being coerced into doing something he does not want to do.

When Stanley has a purpose, he is extremely fixed, immovable, and bullheaded about it. His obstinacy is often infuriating to others, especially since it takes much provocation to make him flare up or respond to their anger. Paul Stanley appears calm, unruffled, and unemotional most of the time, but behind his easygoing and peaceable appearance there lies great strength. When it comes to a contest of wills, Paul often wins simply due to his relentless persistence and his ability to outlast just about anyone. Another reason for his reluctance to make changes is his very strong need for security. Paul is most comfortable in stable, relatively unchanging conditions and he also has a strong desire for tangible security - a home of his own, money in the bank, job security, etc. The flip side of Stanley's hankering for permanence is that he easily gets caught up in a rut and will stay in a familiar situation (e.g. job, marriage) long after it has lost its vitality and interest.

Paul Stanley has a keen appreciation of the natural world and he derives great joy from the down-to-earth comforts of the physical world, with its myriad of delights. He is quite sensual in a very natural, wholesome way and he knows how to enjoy himself. Stanley is appealing to the opposite sex in an earthy way. He is also a great lover of beauty and his tastes are basically conventional or classic - not modern.

There is an intense and somewhat secretive or guarded quality about Paul Stanley which may make people around him distinctly uncomfortable. They may feel that Paul is constantly monitoring their inner motives, and he probably is. Stanley sees through anything phony, any false pretense - and he may or may not be above using others' Achilles' heels (which he perceives so clearly) against them. At times, however, Paul Stanley may be too suspicious and assign negative intentions to innocent people. Paul should avoid always looking on the dark side.

He is able to control his feelings and conduct himself in a very proper manner. Because of his inner shyness, Paul Stanley tends to separate himself from others and gives the impression that he does not want to be talked to.
