Aries men idealism, desire for princess

Greetings,
Dating an Aries man for the first time and I'm having some difficulty dealing with this mans extreme idealism. Now, I've read many times that Aries men especially have the need to put the woman on a pedestal, to see her as sort of a mythical princess, pure, angelic and perfect I feel that the Aries I'm with has put me into a very separate category I am not used to being in. Absolutely NOT like his other female friends,colleagues,relatives or even flings. He keeps me on a pedestal and apart from any aspect of his life he deems imperfect. I'm only allowed to know about his successes.
His idealism romantically shocks me, its like a 7 year old girl's....like he sees me as the Princess waiting to be rescued by him, the warrior after he fights his battles (work projects)...in the meantime Im left alone on my pedestal...anyone else see or experience this with Aries man or if you are an Aries....do you feel this way about your love interests? I also get the feeling he wants me to play that role of the demanding, hard to please princess.....oy
I know this is stupid but yes I have heard that women say this about me. I am a bit different and really though am attracted to a stronger woman. I like it if they can be comfortable with there femininity. I like independent women too... I was raised the stronger a woman the stronger a man has to be. I stronger woman or a mature woman would not put up with a looser. He has made it clear that you are different from all the other women in his life. He wants you to know where his heart is...
I know we can be a bit much with it at times but really I am understanding that she is human... and not perfect... but if you are really in love with someone you can look past their short falls because some great exist between you.

And women wonder why guys get confused. He treats you like gold and you don't like it?!?!? Perchance are you a scorp Woody123?
No. I'm not. I'm a Leo and I never said he treated me like gold, he doesnt and I just said he treats me very different than other women. My complaint is he neglects me a lot. He put me on the pedestal and leaves me there for very long periods, assumes I will wait patiently and faithfully like a good little girl and comes back to dust me off and takes me down to play with. I'm getting the feeling than he's wanting a "trophy" girlfriend more than an equal partnership. With the other women in his life he sends them congrats on their work accomplishments,asks about their life, goals, dreams, likes their posts on SM, includes them in his work etc...they also have access to info about him as a normal man.
But since he and I met I've been on a strict need to know basis with him bragging non stop about his wins, hiding anything less than perfect about himself and even trashy girls hes had brief flings with, he will joke and banter with, no problem but with me he is serious, ultra sensitive, easily offended and his ego is paper thin around me. When we are together he is weirdly sentimental, emotional (and hes very alpha male)and a while back he actually stopped talking to me for several months when his work stuff went down hill (I found out secretly, no other woman just work related).
Since we met 9 months ago, even when we stopped talking..didn't date or touch a woman once.So its like hes decided I'm "the one" but hes leaving me for some future plan with out telling me anything and sees me as more as an object of pleasure or a reward for a job well done....its the most bizarre beavior I have ver seen from a guy and hes not saying a damn thing about it.

Ok... if you look at the over energies for most Aries in astrology... We are all going though a really positive growth in our work sector... But part of this influence is we will have to work hard... Things should calm down eventually as business has its ups and downs... Think of it like a loyal warrior going to battle... Yes I know some times you may have your doubts but he would not be treating you like his lady if he did not respect you.
Best advise call him and tell him how you feel... I bet he will tell you work is really important but he never forgets about you... how could he... or something like that... Only other thing I can say if you need that kinda attention find a poor guy with n

Almost like I'm too "delicate" of a flower to handle discussing work or any kind of problems.....ha, Leo woman as a delicate flower? Must be getting this wrong impression of me during one of my catnaps. So is it best to just stand back and let Mr Aries continue on with whatever delusions he has about me? The feminist in me wants to put his head through a wall.I now know that his need to be seen as the ideal male, macho, in charge always is so strong, but only with me.That he would gladly risk losing me forever than let me see that side of him, that human side and that's what is really troublesome. Is that need to be "the Macho
man" so extreme in most Aries guy? I know they have strong, strong egos but golly...
Thanks Pisces moon....I also have a Pisces MoonsmileThat's really funny you said like going to battle. I often imagine that's how he sees it too. Like leaving the maidens behind, the warrior goes off to fight for weeks or months to protect the ladies and land and they wait for his return (if he actually survives it)and when he does return the maiden rewards him for his bravery and chivalry.....just at complete odds to the ways women are raised today and sitting on that perch can feel.....Stepford wifeish, ya know?
Ok... he is just being a Man... No guy wants to be seen as a woman in a relationship... I personally love independent women... I like the strength... This may be the reason he likes you so much he feels that you are a his equal. Aries just do have a little bit of idealism that to think... if you where camping in the woulds if a bear was a round... he would have to face it not you... and he would have the responsibility of do that so you could hopefully get away...
However a secure Aries like myself will be proud of your accomplishments because you have surely brighter then a lot of men. I have dated a few girls that scared my friends because they are strong women. Corp. types... In the end they are just people and back in you den with him all this melts away... it is a full moon hold your emotions in check...

Think of a guys dream that is an Aries... the 300 movie... the Queen was allow in Sparta to speak because only Spartan woman give birth to a real man. This is where a man has to be picky in what he looks for a in a woman... I want a strong woman to give a me a strong boy and daughter... and if I can't find the right one to do that I am fine by myself.

That's the thing about women. You often come across as making little sense. One breath you're talking about being treated as equal partners, the next breath you're talking about being "won" or "lost" forever as though you do like to be objectified like some kind of troohy. It's like you want to inflict the pain of inconsistency on yourselves. Which is why most men run on their own schedule as they get older. At least that way they can treat you consistently. It helps breed trust and routine.


A true Aries man would hope you think of him as your troohy... he would want you to be shown of to your friends and talked about well by you... relish in the fact that you have amazing sex... and trust... He looks at it like you own eachother equally and exclusively.... It takes trust to know you man has to go to battle... as if you don't know how to swing the sword you... are not a man and can't provide.

So you should only encourage an aries man, even if you know that he has no chance of fighting any better than you do? Winking I'm just asking because it's a tug I've faced a few times in the past. Honesty vs feeding a false bravado?

Hmmm, yes, I see your point now.
I haven't read all the posts, but I will, and then probably think it over for a bit.

My Aries Man is much the same! He calls me his Princess all the time although he has called me his "High Maintenance Princess or his little Barbie Doll" However I think he loves being my knight in shining armor and he secretly loves me being demanding!. I am not going to lie I am a Pisces I love being spoiled and showered with his love and affection and him being my Buff and Cute Ram just makes it all the worth while being his damsel in distress lol. Enjoy it! Aries Men are AMAZING and know how to treat their women!
I had an Aries platonic male friend like this. He kept me safe during our college years. He had me on a high pedestal and refused to take me off of it. LOL. He ended marrying a headstrong Cancer woman with a similar background as mine. I met her earlier this year and we hit it off like old friends. Anyway, Aries men love strong capable women...but, when he is around, he wants to be the one in charge.
but i am a princess
Can confirm.... this is exactly how the Aries treats me. Might be different if he didn't work outta town but then again...idk. I'm on some weird pedestal that I've been trying to jump off of for years. If I do, he just puts me back up there lol. Legit has called me princess and said I was demanding but he secretly loves it... admitted to it too.


I'm a far cry from being a damsel in distress tho...tbh, I think he would like me to play that role more sometimes. I remember one time my battery in my car died...he happened to call me (this was one of the many times he'd reach out to see me over the years)...I told him in casual convo and he's all like I can come get you (he was like 40 mins away)..blah blah blah. I'm like nah, I'm good...got my road side assistance coming lol. He also told me if I need money to ask him and if we do anything, he'll always be the one to pay and I better not question it 🙄. I could totally take advantage of that if I was an asshole 🤷🏼‍♀️. Plain and simple...he'd take care of me...again logical choice but eventually I'm gonna fall from that pedestal and push boundaries cause I need that tension and there isn't much of that.


I think this is why Aries men like Virgo women...they see this "Virgin" who they think needs to be protected.
I’m confused, he is a seven year old girl who wants to be a princess?


Of course he ignores you because he’s put you on a pedestal.. obviously.. makes perfect sense to me.


Why dont you call it for what it is. You think he think he’s better then you, and you don’t like it.
