Do Capricorns like to be taken care of?

So do Capricorn guys like being taken care of? Like being catered to? My cap kinda pushes me away sometimes when I reach out to help him which is always. Sometimes I'd offer words of support or advice or show him I'm here and I have his back and I stand by him but he ignore it most of the times not always.

No Capricorn likes to be taken care of because well the way we see it-we can do it ourselves. We like being self sufficient. Plus, it would involve relying on somebody, and Cappies don't like that. Personally, when people(besides my parents) try to help me/take care of me I turn them down because I feel as if I'd owe them something and I don't like debt. :/click to expand
This makes sense and my Cap said something similar to me some time ago but maybe because I'm a virgo I never gave into it, I always keep showing him I care no matter what, because I know when he lays in bed at night he appreciates it.
Depends on what it is they want to do. I think its sweet when someone wants to take care of me. I am self sufficient and can usually get things done faster by myself, but it is a nice thought that someone wants to.
And its nice sometimes to let someone take over and do things for me. 
Speaking for myself, no. I have never felt the need to rely on someone else and I regularly tell people I don't need their help if they offer. It's foreign and uncomfortable. I am somewhat parental of others though...
I don't mind being taken care of/catered to if I'm sick or it's a special occasion, but other than that it's not necessary.
Also, Caps don't need (or even like) constant words of encouragement-- especially if it's mushy kind of stuff. Be more supportive through actions rather than through words.

My cap doesn't take care of me. My cap sometimes a lot of times never ask about my day.
I always try yo be there for my Cap and let him know I have his back and I'll catch him when he falls...and he just ignores it. He rather confide in other people and not so much on me. I'm starting to believe he has a problem with me, but why ask/beg me to stay in your life if you're not doing anything to keep me?
The answer would be normally no.
As a natural born nurturing Pisces in the beginning of my relationship with my Cap man it was an issue for us because he is the one who wants to take care of not the other way around. I'm also very independent so his wanting to do the same for me was also an adjustment. It took us years of learning how to compromise and now we know when to take care of and when to be taken care of as the situation applies. My Cap is every attentive to my needs and I appreciate him with reciprocation just not by going overboard. I think it helps that we both have Venus in Aqua (LOL).

"My cap doesn't take care of me."
Did you ever asked to be taken care of though? Caps usually don't do things "just because" and they usually have trouble sensing how people are feeling. You need to be straightforward with him and tell him want you want/need or I doubt it's ever going to happen.
"I always try yo be there for my Cap and let him know I have his back and I'll catch him when he falls...and he just ignores it."
Because he's probably tired of hearing this. He understands that you'll be there and support him so you don't need to say this more than once or twice.
"He rather confide in other people and not so much on me. I'm starting to believe he has a problem with me, but why ask/beg me to stay in your life if you're not doing anything to keep me?"
Who he confides in is probably just based on who he thinks is most qualified to help him. You might be helpful for some things and not others so he doesn't rely on you 100% . If you think there's a problem or you're confused about what you mean to him then you have to talk to him to get clarification.

^^^all of the above is solid advice.
I think I'm not good enough for him as I don't meet his criteria. He never listens to me or take me seriously...but yet has the nerve to say he "cares" and "loves" me.

This is why maybe things failed, when you let him know you are there for him prove it with actions rather than words and don't always think that cap will fall because when they do, you might not have an idea. When a cap is falling apart nobody seems to know it but them, because they are good at pulling things back together. They need a reliable person to be on their side and as much as you wanted to take care of your cap, he definitely knows how to take care of himself. When they need help they will come to you if they see you as the one with the solution but most of the time they've already figure out the solution. Cap most likely are the ones who will take care of their partner not vice versa. They are strong enough for themselves and they can even share their strengths with others.

This also... tsk tsk tsk
What you perceive of yourself is most likely how your cap see you as well,
if you think you are not good enough for him, he might be thinking the same thing...
He cares for you and he mean it when he said that, that's as far as I know, the thing is you are expecting something out of that.
My capi appreciates it when I look after him and hugs me tightly n says thank you.
Even if sometimes he doesn't take me up on the offer he knows I truely mean it from my heart.
I think secretly they like knowing ud look after them if it they need it.
That u offer to help sincerely
Like if capi is hurt n I'll offer to pick up first aid stuff (even thou he has some) on my way to see him.
Or if I offer to be his nurse when he's had a sports injury he loves that
