Aries Woman-Flamboyant Leo Vs Shy Leo Man

Aries-Leo combination is celebrated as very compatible.

As an Aries I come across many Leo men - both the flamboyant variety and the shy types.

In my experience, Leo men turn out to be my great friends. They go out of their way to do things for me, even without my having to ask them. But somehow I have never been attracted towards them. I prefer to keep them as good friends. If they have been attracted towards me, they have never shown it.

With the gregarious, outgoing Leos, it's blow hot-blow cold interaction, full of drama, world wars and very exciting, enjoying moments. But I also find them very controlling - the reason why I stay out of romantic zone with them. Because I know it won't work and I'll lose very good friendship that I have with them.

The shy type Leos are very gentlemanly, always caring about my needs and I have never seen them shouting in anger. Thy have proved to be my best friends in need. However I don't feel attracted to them in a romantic way and they have also never shown a romantic interest in me.

Analysing the two types, I feel the shy type Leos can come closest to being the soulmate for Aries, not the flamboyant type Leos. Of curse, it is based on my experience. Others may have had different experiences.
I've never really been attracted to Aries women. I've noticed I'm more attracted to women with Aries placements, but not necessarily with an Aries Sun. I get along with Aries people just fine as friends though and I have Aries in my chart.

I'm neither a shy Leo or a flamboyant Leo, so it may be that you've only met a certain type of Leo. I pick up on people's personalities fairly early since I tend to observe them before I fully engage. I've noticed that upon first impression Aries women come across as either selfish/dramatic or as flighty/scatterbrained. I've known Aries women who have been huge instigators and others who were total sweethearts. Granted I appreciate the latter personality type far more than the former, but usually neither is enough to get my blood going. I've just never felt that there was enough substance when dealing with Aries women, so I tend not to stick around them too long.

Thanks Chuckcem for this insight!

Aries are often so absorbed in themselves that they can't make out how they appear to others. So it's good to hear from a Leo who likes to observe.

Yes, I'm only aware of the flamboyant and the shy types of Leos. Maybe other types also exist but I haven't met them.

I in fact like Leos very much, but have never got romantically involved with them. As friends they are great.

By the way I'm 5 times Cardinal - My Mars is in Libra and Venus is in Aries. Perhaps that's too much for any man to handle anyway, hence my experiences.

Yeah I would say that most Leos observe. Whether or not we choose to engage afterward is a different story. Personally if I get a bad impression from someone, I simply won't engage/meet them. Again every Leo is different. What may annoy one Leo, may not annoy another.
ture - Yes that's what I have been told by others as well. But I feel it makes very dynamic. Every placement has some positive aspects too.

I forgot - if you count Jupiter, then my Jupiter is in Cancer. So this makes me 6 times Cardinal and all the 4 Cardinals represented in my chart!

Mars doesn’t like Libra. So your modality isn’t utilised efficiently there.

Really unfortunate Mars tbh. Mars wants to go in and think later. He’s comfortable with softer signs with personality.

oth types I have met have always liked me - Flamboyant types like me more in that they want to engage with me more. Quieter types don't engage with me that much, but they are always watching from a distance and come forward to help whenever I need it. I guess they are too shy to engage more and those who engage more are too dramatic and their interaction with me heightens the drama, so it doesn't work. That's why I feel that if the quiet type become a little more extrovert, it can work. But as I have too much of Cardinal energy in me, perhaps they prefer to keep it toned down.

But I have also read that there are no introvert Leo. There are only Leos who pretend to be introverts. Is it true?

Introvert Leos exist, it's just that Leo energy can be very extroverted. So an introverted Leo may not appear like an introvert of another sign.
