The Lost Soul is:
-he’s a dreamer, always seeking a way out of his miserable situation.
-he’s intuitive. Just try keeping a secret from this guy. He’s an observer, an excellent judge of character, and he’ll have you figured out before you can spell his name.
-he’s devoted. He loves intensely, can be idealistic, and gives everything he has when he believes in something.
-he’s guarded because he knows that his vulnerability could become a weakness if used by the wrong person.
He has a few flaws, too. The are:
-his brooding nature. As an observer, he has the tendency to be pessimistic, unsmiling, and dark.

Great post….I think the appeal, is in the rescuing. Women love to rescue, heal and mold. The lost soul is the perfect subject matter. He’s the guy you dream you can turn into your soulmate, because under that negative energy he is really just a wounded child calling out to be healed, by who else, but the rescuer.
