BLAME HIS STAR SIGN: Aries

Aries (March 21-April 19)

'Arrogant. Pompous. Vain. Cruel. Verbose. Show-off. I've been called all of these. Of course, I am.' Howard Cosell (Born March 25)

Passionate, idealistic, and sentimental, the Aries man is part hero, part child, no matter what his age. He's as friendly as a puppy, downright fearless, and rather like one of those weighted clowns that children punch. You can knock him down, but he will always bounce back. And, for as long as he loves you, he will be faithful, sexy, and attentive. If you feel weak in the knees, make sure there's a sofa handy to fall on, because by the time you've swooned, this Romeo will have moved on to his next conquest! Aries men are in love with love. The appeal is in the art of romance and the thrill of the chase, not your charming smile.

Some astrologers compare an Aries man to a knight in shining armour. However, you are just as likely to get run down by his charging steed as scooped up in a pair of loving arms. Sir Lancelot may have been bold and honest, but he was also a royal pain in the butt - a bit like your Aries man. His ego ruined a kingdom when, in his eagerness to run his hand up Guinevere's dress, he conveniently forgot his vow to King Arthur. In Lance's point of view, he was a hero, and to an Aries man, his point of view is the only one that counts. The Ram fears mediocrity more than death. He would rather be the biggest jerk in town than just another anonymous working slob. He is subjective, bossy, and has a caustic wit he inflicts with careless abandon. He takes pride in being more self-centered than Scorpio and more obtuse than Taurus. He's sure he's right, especially when he is wrong.

Male Rams come in two types. Bold, brash, and ready for action or shy, quiet, and ready for action. Don't be fooled by the shy type. He may come over all 'Aw shucks' and toe shuffles, like Aries Dennis Quaid, but under that poker face, or enigmatic smile, his brain synapses are firing at 1,000 per minute, concentrating on the best way to get you into his bed in the shortest possible time.

On the door of the original Playboy Mansion in Chicago hung a brass plate with the inscription 'Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare' - the Latin for 'If you don't swing, don't ring'. Aries Hugh Hefner, the flip, hip, big daddy of hedonism, is still alive and well, and still the quintessential bad boy at 77.

Remember all of this before you buy your wedding dress. After the ceremony, he will expect you to worship the ground he makes you crawl on, while he declares his need for freedom. He will require you to have the house sparkling, the grass mowed, and the cars washed, all before he gets home from his latest adventure. He'll leave a trail of dirty clothes from the front door to the shower, while shouting his dinner order over his shoulder. When he appears at the table, he'll expect you to have a gourmet's delight in one hand and his favourite cold drink in the other. And, you'd better look like you just stepped out of the pages of Vogue. This man chases the ideal. He doesn't want a real woman, with real needs. He wants the adoration of a mother and the ethereal qualities of a fairy princess, all wrapped up in the figure of a Playboy centrefold. He thinks he is indestructible, but he's extremely accident-prone and seldom gets through life without a few broken bones, several concussions, and a couple of totalled cars. He is restless, fidgety, and has frequent headaches.

Just as he is either brash or shy, he'll either be a spendthrift or paranoid about starving to death. You'll have to cut out coupons and buy pork and beans in bulk, while he plays Mr Fix-It with the plumbing. You'll learn to sew and to raise your own veggies, while he attacks his latest money-making scheme with the same fierce energy that makes him shout at the TV and practise road rage in the church parking lot. If he's loose with cash, you'll have to work two jobs to ke

Holy shit. Is this true? they are total egomaniacs? they are babies. I believe the part that the woman has to look like a Vogue model..meanwhile he looks like a beer belly...figure out that one....and what is with the independance crap?

what ever that came from sounds pretty negative.

I can?t believe how accurate that was. That fit my ex-boyfriend of 10 years to a T!

So now I understand that relationship even better, in how he just wasn?t the man for me - to marry, in spending the rest of my life with him ?Happily-Ever-After?. He?s a love-her (or I should say) ?lust?-her and leave-her - kind of guy). It was always an on again off again relationship.

It?s all about the conquest for him. Once he gets you, it?s pretty much all over now for him. He will bore of you very easily (maybe because he bases his relationships primarily on lust ? and not ?love?. So the flame can go out as quick as it lights.

You better be drop-dead-gorgeous with a perfect bod, and a lot of sex appeal and mystery for "the-rest-of-your-days-with-him," or otherwise, he will no longer be interested. I don't think he'd ever accept you eventually 'getting' old. And He?s scared to death of ?commitment?. If it?s ?You? that you want him to be in love with, I?d find someone else. It will be your ?body? that he will be in love with. And when he?s tired of it, he?ll find another body ?REAL? fast.

His ?woman? has to have a perfect playboy body forever?. if she doesn?t, I really can?t see him staying with her, or he will spend the rest of his days out at night with the guys, and her left at home alone to her own devises.

He expects his woman to work, and even bring home more money then he does. He?s not the ?old? fashion guy in this respect. He is a Knight in Shining Armour, that?s for sure. But he will dump you as fast as he swept you off your feet ?if? you don?t live up to his expectations of you, such as: the playboy body, have that job to help support him.

He likes his woman to take care of him, not the other way around. I think to say it bluntly: He will just bore of you. There will be nothing you can do to change that. That?s IF you decide you no longer wish to spend your waking days and nights being just his play-boy bunny. When I was ?bored? of his ways, I dumped "him". That doesn?t go over very well with an Aries either; you dumping him first.

He seems to be looking for some sexy playboy girl that he can put up on a pedestal and lust after. And that seems about all he primarily needs in a woman, and that she has a ?job?. He was very possessive, Aquarius do not like this. And VERY jealous! Very Very jealous.

My ex was pretty much all of what was written. He was pretty much the ?snake?, the slime-ball. I was pretty much - pretty naive, and really young, when he went in for the kill. He was just very ?slimy?. I was too young and naive to know what that was at the time. He would actually resort to lying in saying: ?I Love You? - just so that you would put-out for him. Sex is very-very-very important to him. First on his priority list. Don?t ever deny him this, or he will be gone out of your life forever.

I?m Aquarius, and eventually married a Gemini. And I am living the ?happily-ever-after? now with my soul mate, my best friend, of 14 years. And never would I have ever thought, that could ever happen for me, in my life, to marry a ?Soul Mate? and find such happiness together. Especially since the only other boyfriend I ever really had was an Aries.

Aquarius are said to love to challenge the ?mind? and Gemini?s LOVE to have their mind challenged. My ex Aries boyfriend hated this about me. Gemini are mostly a ?mind? sign. This works perfectly with an Aquarius. They are an air sign as well as Aquarius is an air sign.

Gemini and Aquarius get on very very very well together. We both like being stimulated mentally. Makes for a very interesting, fun, loving, intellectual ? life time together. And Gemini are really into ?love?, much more then my ex Aries boyfriend was. Lust was always the priority though of my ex. With my husband, LOVE is the priority, not the ?lust?. That?s why I married my Gemini husband, and not the ex Aries. I was off an

so so real, if you could read my post "bad temper", to bad I couldnt write that much but you girls found the right words to discribe my boyfriend, I am seriously moving forward to the end. so far he is very loyal always have been in this 4 years relationship, doesnt go anywhere without me, maybe bc. I still have good looks and the breasts of a playgirl without the implants at 41, but I am not going to look like this forever and that is driving him even more mad. and all he does is show his tantrums for whatever that is not said or done his way. I dont like to blame signs, but this guy really have all this. thanks.

good luck Roxi, I hope he takes it calmly. I agree 100% as well

GeminiFox, He is / was---whatever---an immature Aries. Some Aries guys are so childish it makes us ashamed to even associate with them. I think you'd adore the mature ones who are taking your feelings and thoughts into consideration.

Trusting hasn't been easy for me either! A couple points, after scanning previous posts here: I have NEVER been unfaithful to a woman! Have had several relationships, but always monogomus (sp?) and EVERY Aries man I've ever know---including friends and my DAD---has been faithful. As far as the money thing goes, Aries guys HATE being in debt--BUT I've noticed some are just very careless with money---they KNOW how to earn it (with all that energy and ambition) BUT most I know need to take their egos down a notch and let some other sign, like a Virgo or Capricorn or Taurus---our Earth sign buddies---handle it. I've had to teach myself how to be more conservative with money. AND an Aries guy in love LOVES to splurge on his woman! So he may disregard other important things---like pressing bills--- to SPOIL her. Again, I've had to LEARN to handle the money and still have splurging money left over. Another comment: it seems to me that EVEN IF an Aries has had a hard life, they usually know how to overcome it! Sometimes they want a partner to encourage them----which they may not admit---but they have the STRENGTH and ability to PERSEVERE to overcome that stuff IF they want to.
