Not gonna tell you a Virgo/Leo pairing is wrong, but you have a LOT to get through if it's gonna be her. Let's hope she's as committed to it as you are. But Leo females don't generally take criticism well. If that's exactly what you wrote, then she could have read it out of context and flipped because tone and mood usually don't come through online unless through diction. Or it could be her ego.

Just be careful where you tread.

when a virgo is being critical about something they usually mean well and are trying to help the other person to become better, it's virgo's nature and often they say it in a straight forward way which can be easily taken the wrong way. Leo females HATE crisism so unless you are careful at all times and only give critism in the most caring way possible they will hate it! so in the long run, this might end up being a problem between a virgo and leo.. good luck!

I don't hate criticism. Yes, I don't necessarily want to hear it, but once I am done being upset and evaluating than I appreciate what was said, if I agree, or will either continue to disagree and let you know it or get a trusted friends opinion. I do over analyze, but it could be my Virgo Venus?

virgo and leo are a big no no!

Says who? Definitely not astrology - it doesn't place them at "big no no!" that's for sure. Statistically, they are also a preferred couple for staying many years together.

Any long term relationship has been with Virgo. Not saying they were easy or always good, but seemed to work out longer than any others. Don't really know why. Plus seems I am attracted to Virgos... obviously lol.

The introspective and analytical makes sense. That has always been something I have respected with these guys. Put me in my place, when I needed, by giving me perspective and setting boundaries that I had been testing. I know I am quick to pop off at the mouth and has driven certain people nuts, but I think it is part of what they liked. Feisty, but receptive to different perspectives.

Oh, they lie for sure, just like everyone else.

But she hands it to you on a plate and you say you want it served in a different way. Pretty Virgo though, so fair play.

hands it to me?

Speaking for self No. LOL Unfortunately, I can joke and take jokes, but criticism you have to be VERY careful. Joking is funny, but I will think that there is truth for you to what you are saying. When criticizing in general you have to handle with kid gloves.

Christ, no. They don't even like to be in the same room as another person who's being complimented.

Wow! I am definitely OK with others getting compliments around me. Then again I think I have grown up a lot with ego and praise stuff. Still can use a fair share of praise where it is due, but don't thrive for it like I did younger.

I see nothing wrong with taking them down a few notches, honestly. They need to realize they're no better than anyone else.

agreed... we do... we get ass hurt easy but then when we really see how we can be we joke right back and you cant do that to dear virgo cuz they can dish it but cant take it.

No... that is idealizing Virgos. Virgos can nitpick everything and criticize everything. They're not gods... we're all human.

Virgo criticism doesn't work that way. If you're a friend who is privy to something of a more personal nature, as a Leo, I will hold on to the boundary between friend and personal advisor. If it is not your place to criticize something, then I will not let you cross the line.

This man here, LeeJT, he crossed the line - which is why she was angry. Her personal identity is hers to manage and keep. The fact that you saw her wear a t-shirt with weirdo on it doesn't give you the right to call her one.

Though, I like that you tested the boundaries. πŸ˜›

yes test the boundaries πŸ™‚
i am dealing with my virgo... i am very intune with who i am and how i react and i know exactly what button was pressed to set me off. i pause and take the time to review what was said. Say sorry if i was wrong and try to get past it. while my virgo shuts down and think its ok to not speak to me for 3 days.
i dont care i push boundaries... damnit you need to learn how live with someone and have their opinion valued.

push her boundaries. your little model probably isn't used to anything like that... take her off the ego trip open her eyes to other things.

EVERYONE IS WEIRD IN THEIR OWN WAY!!!!!

is say this because my virgo called me weird and i was about to take it offensive and just told her so... so are you!!

what about compliments?

Leos love their ego boosted but she seems to not believe me when i call her beautiful and compliment her. or thinks im being sarcastic.

what does that mean?

I try to handle criticism well but I hear that I don't.

If she doesn't believe you when you compliment her perhaps you tease her a lot so she doesn't ever know when you are being genuine and when you are not.

In my younger days any flattery was good. However, you learn over time some compliments aren't genuine. So I would say compliment in spurts. If you guys go out and she is looking awesome definitely tell her. If you like how she did her hair definitely tell her, but don't go over board. Also consider if her self-esteem is not in check. If she doesn't normally get compliments or she just may not be used to getting them. Oh if you joke around a lot she may take the things you say lightly not knowing what is real or just fooling around.

That's interesting!! May be she gets them too often. May be you should compliment her on something else that she is not told all the time.
