I'm working on a theory (look for Sexual Economics in future glob posts) and this is going to provide some backing for it. What I am conjecturing is that a relationship will work best when all 4 of the above categories are being met. However, it does not matter who is meeting what category. Traditionally men are physical/dominant and women are emotional/submissive, but with our modern culture and society we've evolved beyond traditional archetypes. A woman can be physical/dominant or even emotional/dominant, or any number of combinations.

How To Read The Chart
Ignore the color of the boxes for now, those will come in later. Firstly, ask yourself how you relate to people, are you more dominant or submissive? This can be manifested in your family life, are you similar to your family or much different? If your personality varies from your nurture then you might be dominant. It can be how you relate to your circle of friends; do you plan a lot of events or go along with what everyone else wants to do? It can be how you relate to people at work and in a competitive setting; even if you are not the boss do you tend to throw out a lot of ideas or do you sit back and let other people do most of the talking? Whatever your answer to the first question is is your underlying personality type, if it is dominant your are masculine, if it is submissive you are feminine.
Secondly, figure out how you express yourself, are you physical or emotional? This could be how you express your feelings, do you go to the gym to work out your problems or do you talk them out with whatever emotion you're feeling? Also, how do generally find yourself throughout most of the day; do you do more latent things like watching movies, looking at art, reading? Or do you enjoy more physical activities like sports, walking, or working with your hands? If you have a job that requires you to be inside but you ache to go outside and walk, then you are physical. How you express yourself also relies a lot on how you would want to express yourself in a perfect situation. Whatever the answer to the second question is is your overlying personality type, if it is physical you are masculine and if it is emotional you are feminine.
Now you put both underlying/overlying personality types together, for example lets say you are dominant/emotional, the you are a masculine/feminine. It does not matter what your sex is, for the purpose of this personality chart we are using masculine and feminine to define traditional connotations of the word and not the gender/sex it connotes.
What Does Each Personality Type Mean
Feminine/Feminine - You will work best in a relationship with Masculine/Masculine. You are generally submissive with your non-sexual relationships, which carries over into your romantic engagements. You like to hear people's ideas, but don't feel the need to chime in all the time. You would rather watch a movie or go to a museum than go hiking or play sports. If you do work out it will probably be a less aggressive routine, along the lines of yoga, walking, light jogging or other light cardio routines. You get along best with those who dominate the conversation, give unique thoughts and like to plan events. You also get along with those who express themselves physically, ie those who enjoy sports, working with their hands and being outdoors.
Masculine/Masculine - You will work best in a relationship with Feminine/Feminine. You are generally dominant when it comes to non-sexual relationships, which carries over into your romantic engagements. You like to speak up in meetings, you like your ideas to be heard, and you are a natural born leader. You would rather play a sport or go camping than read a book or look at art. If you work out you probably enjoy more rigorous routines like martial arts, swimming, running or rock-climbing. You get along best with listeners, those who, after you bring up a topic, can talk about it, but still stay on your idea. You also get along best with people who express themselves emotionally, ie watching movies, reading books, taking photos.

What I'm concluding is that in an ideal relationship all 4 personality traits: submissive, dominant, physical and emotional are being met. However, who is meeting what does not matter. What this creates is a relationship-equilibrium, an even give and take of qualities. Since I am saying that the scale is sliding, meaning the more dominant you are the less submissive you are going to be or the more dominant one person is the more submissive the other person will be. Obviously there are exceptions and some non-inclusive relationships might work, but this is the general rule. If say only 3 or ever 2 of the traits are being met there will be a power struggle over who dominates the overlapping trait(s). The best relationships are those in which both party's personalities are being complimented by one another.
You Love What You Lack (The Theory of Sexual Economics Pt 1)
So the other day I was thinking about how relationships work. Do opposites really attract? Does there always have to be a more dominant person? What about homosexual relationships where there is not a clear sex(gender)-based hierarchy? And then I was helping my friend with her thesis (you know who you are) and we were talking about what characteristics are intrinsically masculine or feminine. How some men can be feminine and some women can be masculine. And so I had a vision and the below chart came into my head!
