How do Leo's view Cancers

This topic was created in the Leo forum by HighTide on Friday, January 27, 2017 and has 19 replies.
I see you on our boards chiming in alot but whats the real appeal to you liking us?

I always feel like you prefer Scorpios or Libras over us when it comes down to it.

Also please explain how to handle a Virgo once and for all lol.
One of my best friend's is a cancer! I'm a Leo. We have so much fun together, she is a very emotional, charismatic person and I love how caring she is. But sometimes she can be a little clingy, like wanting to see me and talk to me on the phone all the time, but I don't mind that much because I like the feeling of being needed. I also like her because it's never boring when I am around her and we just click ! One negative thing is she can be really emotional and she can come off strong. (I know Leos are supposedly strong willed people but gosh my cancer BFF can shut me up and put me in my place) But all in all I love her.

I'm currently dating a Virgo man and he's really chill and laid back. I say with Virgos you have to go with the flow with them and just know that they see everything. They are really attentive to detail, and they are not overly emotional people. I feel like they don't like to deal with their emotions and feelings. They are really smart and I have intellectual conversations with my virgo, something he and I both enjoy. I like how relaxed I am when I am around him. We don't constantly have to be doing something. We just chill and vibe together.

Great answers!

I was going to say I think the appeal to Leos for Cancers is you give us alot of chances when we cross the verbal line when we get upset about things. We can get overwhelmed with our emotions and have to let it out every so often. Alot of other signs write us off or play games to make it worse yet a Leo is always noble in trying to be understanding in this aspect to us. That is why I like to pamper Leo's and would do anything for them as I know at the end of the day they aren't plotting to try and make us feel worse than we already do. I think the part that gets messed up between Cancer/Leo is when Leo's get around other crowds and are in the "center of attention" mode and Cancer's have to be around/know a Leo long enough to know this isn't to make a Cancer insecure. I think once a Cancer understands the role to be the rock to the Leo in the background than this relationship can go further rather nicely.


I'm a Leo. My dad and two guy friends are Cancerians. What I see as common among all three? Food is their first love. Haha. Innocent to some extent. Yes, my friends can go to the extent of snooping, stalking and even hacking, but they're not the kind to go beyond that and cause problems for someone. Emotional. Security, both emotionally and financially, is what they want.

Here comes the problem. When they feel secure, they're really happy, fun and nice to be with.

But when they get the slightest feeling of insecurity, Uff! They start feeling really down and it annoys me for I'm an eternally positive individual!

Also, I attack the problem head on. But they choose to be conflict averse and more conforming by nature. Also my dad, when he expresses his affection for his daughter (me), he becomes over affectionate! That kinda smothering repels me, but somehow he's quick to sense that and leave me alone!

Recently, I made friends with another Cancer guy and he was telling me about his love life and some problems. I asked him, "Why not openly discuss this with her?". He refused. I didn't understand! Our attitudes towards life and problems are so very different.

When they're positive, they're all really nice to be with. They seem to become childish and give off those positive vibes and keep me listening to whatever they've to say for hours together, which is a very nice thing.

But when they get highly emotional or upset or start feeling low, I really don't know how to deal with someone like that.

That was just my honest opinion about the Cancer men in my life. No Leo will wanna move away from a genuinely happy Cancer. smile
Some of the closest/most influential people in my life have been Cancers. One of my best friends is one as well. I have NO idea where I'd be without him in my life. Cancers are generally chill and EXTREMELY intelligent individuals. For a Leo you guys are easy to talk to on a variety of subjects and you genuinely know your facts. You can be introverts, but you're also fun and well versed on many subjects and activities. Leos can learn a lot from you. You're also super loyal once the Leo gets past your hard exterior. Yes Cancers can be moody and even snap at a Leo at times, but the Leo can learn how to soften a Cancer and how to avoid getting snapped at practically 100% of the time. Cancers also genuinely care when a Leo is hurt, that goes a long way.
Cancers are Amazeballs.

When we get along it REALLY WORKS Kiss

but whats the point of being happy, all the time, Sounds like a drag.

Cancers seek depth in all the nuances of our emotions.

if a Leo can't handle that, bye.

My dad is a Cancer. Once, in 2016, while I was innocently playing with kids in the local park, he asked me, "How can you be so happy and cheerful all the time?" ( he admired me for my Positivity).

Yes, that's me. 90% of my life, I'm happy. I'm highly quicktempered, but the anger wears off very easily, as I vent it out immediately.

I don't bottle up anything negative!

That means I don't know depth? Hahaha, so all those who read my poetry on Life and Love and say things like "yours is too deep for me to comprehend, but still I like it", "you're really mature for your age", "you know Life better than many of us in even in our late 60s" are kidding me?

Haha, I definitely know the depths. In fact, I'm one of the very few, along with a Virgo (who's much elder than I am) in my circle to analyse things from both rational and emotional, from the past, present and future aspects.

We definitely understand depth, sorry to break your ignorance, but yes, we consciously add a touch of Positivity and optimism to it. That again is because of our understanding of Life. I personally think that life's too short and I won't waste it whining!

Negativity is a key factor that repels us. Recently I got attracted to a lot of men who came my way and gave me positive vibes. Can't imagine anyone getting attracted to someone who's almost always complaining and whining, or someone who's pessimistic and negative, because such a thing never happens. As though others don't go through any problem in life and negative people are the only victims of life! Lol!

If that happens, it's probably pity or empathy, not romantic attraction.

Yes, our positive streak is one of our biggest strengths and it kinda even intimidates many! Big Grin

Buh-bye, dear!

(No, I don't have anything against Cancers in general and I do love those Cancer folks in my life, except for when they're sulking. I run away when they're down because they won't listen to anyone else when they're obsessed with their problems. Hope other Cancerians in here don't mind my being honest. smile )

Your attitude in life does not intimidate me AT ALL, HAPPY OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE DON'T INTIMIDATE ME, THEY ANNOY ME, CAUSE I SEE IT AS FAKE.

, but i like the darkness. What you call whining or being obsessed with problems is a security blanket. Your happiness and optimism is just an irritant like chemicals to a soul attempting to soothe itself

you have no depth, you think you do, but you don't...you might understand the nuances of life, but if you can't feel the flavors than you have no idea.

also just think about this, perhaps some of us don't want to be like or like that, maybe it doesn't inspire us.

thats why crabs are the best ARTISTS in the WORLD, Actors, Creative Geniuses....


because we're not fleeting towards life with this optimistic/happy attitude 24/7 that saps our energy, we like being in our shell, being ourselves, THINKING OF WAYS TO EXPRESS THAT EMOTIONAL CANVAS...

and yes we can be positive and optimistic sure, but its' not completely FULFILLING ...to a CRAB

or to me atleast. My creativity doesn't come from trying to impress others and to be some kind of positive influence (although that happens anyways)...it comes from my internal battles.
Hahaha, your words in uppercase speak a lot more than you can guess. Big Grin

Don't worry. You're not the only one. Optimists annoy most of the pessimists. Haha, call it anything - ego, showing off, whatever! When I see pessimists posting such stuff, LOL!

Have fun! Enjoy your 'depth' - something that Only You have. Your attitude reveals such childishness! Lol, "crabs are the best in everything because I am a crab"

LOL!

Post whatever you want here. We don't have the time to take it seriously, miss, but I'd suggest that you don't display this kinda attitude with your Leo guy or you'll be back to the Leo forum posting questions on why he's reacting like this, like that!
Posted by DivaCanLeo
and you mentioned Virgos lol they're the most pessimistic negative sign out there. Please stop. That's why Virgos and Crabs date alot we can both be cynical and pessimistic together.

i think what i have a problem with is that you think every negative thing you stated is NEGATIVE...which i don't see as a negative unless it's all you do....

than yes it can be very negative.
Virgos are pessimistic and negative?

I don't think so, not one of the three Virgos in my life. They take in so much, they're very patient and kind with their near and dear, and I can never imagine being that patient!

I notice that they do allow their near and dear to walk all over them but they don't complain at all! Nobody from outside can guess that they're sad or upset. Quite humble (yes, I see that the Cancerians I know are also humble) and nice. I'd love to be friends with Virgos including the Virgo I'd mentioned for life. smile

I like cancers tbh and I'm a leo with virgo moon

I just don't do well in a moody environment sometimes especially when cancers get passive aggressive, I don't know how to react to that so I just leave them alone. everything else about them, I can feel their love and they make it so obvious when they like you. they try to give you want you want and they remember things that you said week or even months ago. I especially like how this one guy tried to turn my problem into his own problem..i don't think anyone (and I mean anyone) cared that much about my problems. I would date a cancer if timing and everything was right

cancers are sweet, I just can't deal with their passive aggressiveness
Exactly! Except that I've not experienced passive aggressiveness from them so far - from my knowledge, Caps seem to be the most passive aggressive type.

But yes, cancers are very loving and sweet.

I am not sure about loyalty and other such factors, though, because two of my friends have one real girlfriend and many sidechicks! They still want more! Wonder what will happen to them the day their girls find out. Winking

But my dad's a typical Cancer and I'm showered with all the affection I'll ever want or even more than I can ask for, but I lock myself up in my room when he begins worrying over nothing! His what-ifs drive me and all others in the family crazy! Even his close friend, after 40 years of friendship, is yet to figure out how to get him to give up his what-if sad stories!

really? I agree with you in the sense that they worry about their problems to themselves and sometimes I guess they just need a little support. they think about the bad-things before they happen and I find myself doing that do.

by passive aggressiveness, i mean for example..i would be like 'sorry lets just date casually, not to seriously.' the next day the would say something like 'help me bang this girl in my class.' I think he was trying to be like cool or get back at me or something, because it's just not like him.

or for example, a random stranger comes up to me. the cancer guy gets all moody and says 'why didn't you tell him, that i'm your boyfriend. what if that guy (points at model on a poster) comes up to you, and asks you out?'



stuff like that, I don't know how to react to that. I think they're definitely pure-hearted, something I don't see alot

click to expand
Regarding 'pure hearted', I've decided that I'll never go by the signs. That's an individual's thing. These Cancer men are my friends and they stay clearly within the 'friendship' border. And yes, they can't help having their eyes open for more. Haha, one thing I'll never do to my guy nor wait and watch while he does that to me.

But these fellows being friends, tell me their fantasies and fun stories. Basically they're nice. That's why I'm friends with them. One was telling me that he had to choose between four girlfriends! Tongue

And another who claims to be truly committed to his one love (he's really generous and even bought her a diamond necklace and a silk dress recently, they've known each other since their childhood days) has his name registered on some of the leading dating sites.

On the other hand, my dad - a real gentleman. Absolutely soft, humble, goodhearted, can't harm even a fly, and is extremely loyal to his family, but the whining process - oh gawd!

Regarding that kinda passive aggressiveness, yes, both these fellows have admitted to me that they've tried to manipulate their girls to talk to them. One seemed innocent and childlike in his anger. Lol!

The smarter fellow told me how he intentionally avoided her for two weeks and spoke to all other girls online just to make his girl (a Leo) to come back to him! We had a laugh and I told him clearly that such tricks would never work on me. Winking
Cancers and Leos make great creative partners.

Cancers initiate and Leos follow through.
Easy communicative smile

As long as there's the desire to be together and both know how to somewhat compromise, it should work out

Playing hard to get?

Put on your pretty feminine dress with 3 inch pumps and dark red lipstick.

Don't forget to paint your nails and classy earrings.

Use your feminine wiles CC.

I have more than a few cancererians in my direct surroundings and I find myself always struggling with how overbearing they seem. *watch how I say seem and not are*

Mothering the shit out of any situation I now realise it's out of love and care and they have the best intentions but maaan...it shockes me everytime and it makes me loose touch with who I am cause the help/tips/how you you should be are too much

On the other they are the funniest and quick witted people I know, only people who can make me piss my pants

Also into whatever idea you have and down to go for it together
