Hanged Man‘s illustration arises from at least three myths from different times and places about a man or god who sacrifices a body part or body function to the gods in exchange for psychic/magic/spiritual gifts and abilities, by hanging himself on a tree for three days. One of the myths is Odin sacrificing an eye.
So Hanged Man is awareness, realization, psychic experience, psychic development, sacrifice, insight, seeing things upside down.

2 Man who is sweet-natured, affectionate, friendly, who makes the first move. (𝙆𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙪𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙮𝙥𝙚)
A man … you, your man … is one or the other of these templates as time goes by, and some men stay at one or the other end of our spectrum. Our point is that this is human nature, you take him as he is, pretty much.
