Most of us are followers, We follow our family, our friends and leaders in our community or society. (It should come to no surprise that a __leader__ must have followers, because one cannot lead when no one follows.) We ask who we would want to follow.
Let us list some characters and behaviors that we dislike and like. It should be noted that these characters are not exactly the same for men and women. For example _self-promoting_ may be shown by _dressing ostentatiously_. But men would have limited choices of colors and styles. However, the gender of whom we follow may be less important than other characters.
