Leo Profile

The Leo personality is well-represented by its sign, the lion. The Leo man or woman is driven by pride and ego. They are protective of their friends and honor. Though they can be independent and don’t require an audience, they thrive on its affirmation and excitement. The Leo is the ultimate friend — loyal, generous, cheerful, and optimistic. They are very well-balanced individuals and seem to live in a better, brighter world. This is very attractive to those around them and they will never be wanting for friends or suitors.

Although many Leo traits are difficult to dislike, they can be dramatic and vain and require external validation for true fulfillment. While they are kind and openhearted, they are impulsive and strike back when someone threatens their honor. However, they are quick to forgive and don’t hold grudges. The Leo personality does not like unhappiness or to be unhappy and will quickly forget feelings of anger and malcontent, even bouncing back from deeply depressing and unfortunate events. If you are struggling with a difficult life event, a Leo friend is the best kind to have. He or she will do anything to make you smile and won’t let you fall into self-pity.

Attracting a Leo

Because a Leo man or woman can be very vain and falls for flattery and admiration whether it is genuine or not, your best chance at attracting a Leo is to make them feel good. Compliment them, indulge them, and make them happy. If you can keep them entertained and show them how great they are, they will fall in love with you. For a Leo, it is easy to fall in love as he or she is very sensitive underneath his or her proud exterior. If you show yourself to be flattering and supportive, you will win undying love and affection.

The Leo woman makes an excellent partner. If you can match her passion for life, her enthusiasm and ambition, and praise and admire her, she will show you support you have never before experienced. The Leo woman has no desire to dominate a relationship, as women of some of the more passionate signs need to — she truly seeks a full partnership and will want you to take the lead. She will look up to you and show you the respect you need, though she is very strong, both emotionally and otherwise. She is a woman who knows what she wants and this will attract men easily. Know that your key to her heart is to make her feel good. Lavish her with attention and praise and make her laugh and she will be putty in your hands.

Much like the Leo woman,  the Leo man is an ideal partner. Though he may not appear to be sensitive, this is only because he is too proud to admit his weakness. If he feels as though you aren’t giving him the admiration he needs, he won’t say anything, but will be deeply hurt. Don’t risk this! Shower him with affection and affirmation — he loves the attention. He will fall in love easily and the trick is to keep him interested and happy. Never bring attention to his faults. It will be unproductive as he isn’t aware he has any and will only leave with his pride hurt. Remember, appearances are important to the Leo. You both deserve to indulge a little, so when you do, don’t be shy — be extravagant!
