What do Leo men want?
This topic was created in the Leo forum by Jonleo on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 and has 23 replies.
I can't speak for all Leo men, so Leos, help me out here. Post your chart too so people can know how a Leo with air/water/fire really thinks.
SweetLibra had some questions which was the impetus for this thread.
QUOTE: "What is it that a Leo really wants from his woman?
I wanted to sum it up simply and after discussing this with a good Leo friend of mine, he said the magic word, partner.
When we want a relationship, we test to see if the woman we are interested in could be a partner for life. Now, a young or immature Leo will only be interested in sexual conquests and accumulating as many women as possible (male lion with a bevy of lionesses kind of thing). You need to evaluate where he is at before wasting too much time with him.
Ultimately, we want love but can be scared of putting so much faith into one person.
That's where the testing comes in. It's not always conscious either but we want to know if you are:
1. Faithful
2. Loyal
3. Strong
4. Passionate (sexually/emotionally can you match us?)
5. Be our best friend (our soft place to fall)
To be continued.....

QUOTE:"Give us all the inside scoop and all the little known tricks (for lack of a better word) we can put in our arsenals. I'm not into playing games in a relationship, but dating does require a little. Like when a Leo man is first showing interest, how should we respond in order to keep him on his toes and interested in the long haul?
Be smart, sweet & sincere. Smart meaning don't let go of your morals/values to 'get' him, hang on to your identity & opinions but do it sweetly. No ball busters, just firm. I respond to a woman with lots of energy & passion. A woman who isn't afraid to be herself and is interesting. Maybe she can teach me/show me something. A passion for life is a huge turn-on for me.
QUOTE: Would he respond better to a woman who never picked up the phone to call him? Do Leo men like to do all the chasing? Or is it simply a question of timing with Leo men?
If my feelings are sincere, I don't hold back. The romantic in me thinks she'll feel the same so if she doesn't show how she feels, I might just move on rather than get hurt.
Some chasing is fine especially in the beginning. It just can't last too long to where I feel like I'm butting my head against the wall. Timing is where he is in life, as in; just broke up/player mode/looking for something real, so yeah, it depends on that.
QUOTE: "Could it be that until he has tired of all the chasing and carousing that he will not settle down and focus on one woman no matter how fly she is when he encounters her? If he still wants to roam, he may stop to play, but once she caves he's gone?"
Yes, that pretty much sums it up for a lot of men.

QUOTE: "@JONLEO, you mentioned in another thread I was on that you have dated Libra women in the past before you finally settled down with an Aries I believe.
Yeah, we just got engaged a couple of days ago on her birthday

QUOTE: "You said you liked them, but it didn't work out. What was it that kept you from settling down with the Libra's? Could it be our over-analyzing the relationship comes across as insecurity? Was there anything in particular you noticed about Libra's that told you it wouldn't work long term? And please don't hold back. We can take it.
One I lived with for a few years was not a good partner. She became very dependent on me & lazy. Things got progressively worse to where she never got up before noon, only cared about her nails/hair, drank too much and didn't work. I bought a business with the understanding she'd go in to manage, be my eyes/ears but she never did. I'm sure this is an individual thing, not a Libran trait, just like the bad Leo stories here. Everyone can't be a great representative of their sign.
A few other Libras I've dated, things were great initially but the excitement/passion didn't last long enough to think I could be faithful forever. I don't want to make promises I can't keep or lead anyone on. After 6 mos. or so, things seemed to fade. I don't know why exactly. It's not their fault so I can't recommend changing. People should be loved for who they are. You can't fake who you are for very long and Leos are good at seeing through it.
My chart:
Asc: Scorpio
Sun: Leo
Moon: Aries
Mercury: Virgo
Venus: Cancer
Mars: Scorpio
Jupiter: Scorpio

Indeed as you said, we want love but can be scared of putting so much faith into one person. That is because once we decide to love we really give it ALL. Frankly, it's hard to find someone to put all that love and affection on because our standards are too damn high! Loyalty pretty much sums it all up. It's very important to us. Treason will result in immediate expulsion from the Kingdom.

This rings true for Leo women too.... at least for me.
And JonLeo.... my Leo man has Mars in Scorpio too... but Moon in Scorpio.
Your OP is spot on imo!!!
Yes loyalty is high on the list. A leo man wants to know that his woman is down for him to the millionth power, no matter what. In return his woman will get taken care of without a shadow of a doubt.
JONLEO IS THE SHIZ-NIT!!LMAO!
FINALLY! JONLEO PROMISE TO POST ANYTHING YOU THINK WILL HELP US WOMEN UNDERSTAND U LEO MEN BETTER. ESPECIALLY THAT LIBRA AND ARIES WOMEN BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON WE SEEM TO ATTRACT YALL THE MOST...I DUNNO WHEATHER THATS A GOOD THING OR A DARN CURSE BASED OFF MY EXPERIENCES WITH YALL SEXY, FINE AS HELL, SMART, COCKY, SELF-CENTERED, AND SPOILED LEO MEN! UGH. LOVE EM AND HATE EM...WHATS A GIRL TO DO...LOL. LEO'S AND SAGG MEN ARE THE BEST...YET THE WORST TO FALL FOR.
Thanks Strider! You rock too! lol

wow, why all the bitterness? chilllllll lol

Hey Leo's. I have a few questions. The Leo I was involved with some months ago was ignoring me and now has resurfaced.
Will being ignored piss a Leo off? I hope it does him.
Would you Leo's reach out to someone who was previously on your ignore list, and what would make you do so?
Yes being ignored is about the only way to get under my skin and most leos I know.
No, I've never contacted someone whom I've ignored. Sorry I can't be much help there. orz
oh how i love leo men. aquas dont usually get emotional but maybe its my virgo, cap.,and pisces talking.
so pretty much to get ounder one skin is to ignore them >???
how do you know what else you are like you said your virgo,cap,pisces talking i am an aqua to how do i know what else i am lol

"Leo's are usually creative leaders. They put a lot of effort into their work and like to get praised. If you are a woman in pursuit of a Leo's heart, take notice of this point! Leo men definitely like to have their ego stroked.
It is definitely worth while to get the love of a Leo. Once hooked, a Leo will devote himself to his partner. If you are trying to get his attention, make sure you are appreciative of all of his efforts.
Take notice even of the small things. In the end, if successful you will in turn become the center of his attention. Since he is affectionate to the finer things in life, his devotion will lead him to share not only his love but his things with his girl."

Sweet Libra, did anything happen after that?
Posted by Noosiekins
JonLeo got married to an Ariesprobably busy w/ married life now
Ha, ha, true! I told her when we get married I'll take you on a trip around the world. That was on our 3rd date after she told me how she loved to travel. Damn,never thought I'd actually DO it.
Sweet Libra, your instincts are correct. If he was serious about you, he wouldn't have left in the first place. Ladies, always go by your instincts about a guy. Too many men are looking to just play and if you're fine with that, have fun but don't expect more.
This has been getting to me. I'm a Leo man and what I will do for a women and her children is beyond measure. I would go away to work to bring home enough money to provide for everything we all need to live happily if the local area couldn't provide it. I use hot and cold and disappearing acts to test if the woman will think of me when i'm gone, be loyal - as in wait for my return to share romance, passion and sensual pleasures, and to see if she will not be mad at me when i return.
I understand that this can come across that i do not care enough but its the exact opposite. I have started to care more than i should and i need to reassure myself that bumps in the road from temporary separation will not affect the bond being made. If the weak bond can stand this test i have no doubt that a much stronger bond will survive too. The problem of course is that i cannot tell the woman i am testing her and women live off their emotions.
I've had women go with other men to make me jealous - i simply stop interacting at all with them at this point, i've had women screaming at me for acting so 'cold', i've been slapped for having to go somewhere suddenly when things are heating up, and i've had friends of the girls pleading me to get in contact with them. I know what i do is not good yet i cannot help it. Life throws up so much crap that i am very busy and i cannot spend time heart broken. I've been there before and i almost lost everything. A leo's heart is his hidden treasure. He protects it so much you will barely know its there at all. We're immensely deep and you will not know you've hurt us because we protect as many people as we can. We lick our wounds in private so give us space when we need to bow out for a while - we will come back to you with twice as much affection this way.
Leo men feel like we have to right the world for our women. If it is not perfect it is not good enough. We know that nothing is perfect but we believe actions in love speak louder than any words so we tire ourselves to achieve the unachievable. We will be changeable because we do not like boredom. We love to cuddle, pillow talk and look into the eyes of the woman we love. Our stares can be intense so do not match it if you're not interested. Life is so short that one can never look a woman in the eye too little. Such things may seem unrealistic but we aim to create relationships where this is possible. Patience is the key word. Most of us seek equal partners.

All I know is I'm a taurus woman with 52 leo family members - so yeah been around leos my whole life.. I'm not controlling - not possessive - no jealousy - I'm protective - loyal - possess a lot of pride - I don't do stubbornness - i'm incredibly spontaneous and playful (my sense of humour) my leo man since he and I separated from our partners we have seen - spoken to each other all the time (we were involved 20 yrs ago) - his words he has said he wants to spend more one on one time with each other (I truly am clueless) he says he wants me as his constant companion we r both hurting from our long term relationships ending so we r supporting each other ---- am I just in the friends or business zone (we r in similar work circles)
Awesome insight here. I'm dating a Leo sun Scorpio moon and I'm a Taurus sun and moon. My father was so stern and he was a Leo so I'm sure we'll be fine.
