No, Leos hate stubbornness (even if we, like all fixed signs, can be stubborn ourselves). We hate anything that stifles our creativity, goals, or being able to see the grand picture. Creativity is born through spontaneity, which Leos adore. It's the reason I often say that Leos and Tauruses can make great friends, but romantically a relationship between the two can be irritating.

for me it can be a turn-on. i mean i like it when a guy has opinions and believes with certainty that he is right only to be faced with undeniable evidence that he is wrong, lol. i respect someone for being able to stand up for what they believe in and actually putting themselves on the line rather than taking a back seat and saying nothing. the same person who stands up to me is the same person who stands beside me when i need him. i like his confidence that says he can support his reasoning for his opinions with facts even if i think those facts are not the whole story and that he is being closeminded. i guess what some people see as stubbornness can also be seen as persistence. it is what makes the difference between someone who is a survivor, which i am, and someone who gives up. he once said he was way more stubborn than me and has since realized that isn't true. i just choose what i am stubborn about. we know there is a value in being flexible sometimes but also some value in sticking to your guns. it's important to take a stand on what matters to you. it's just unfortunate that some people refuse to accept that anyone else can have an equally valid opinion or open themselves up to another possibility. that part is not sexy. i have always been told i am hardheaded. i don't think that is necessarily a negative thing

Confidence, persistence, and stubbornness aren't always mutually exclusive. What if the person is shown that they were incorrect, but they still believe they are right regardless of the facts?

Timely, in my world.

I can only speak for myself as a Leo woman, but this is probably why I tend to keep my distance from other fixed signs (like Taurus and Aqua). As someone said before though, maybe stubborn as in strong willed but as far as being with someone who is too stubborn to see your point of view and have to have things their way... nah

mmm. maybe stubborness is not the best word.. or it is if it means tenacity and strong will and standing up for yourself. because to be fair sometimes only stubborness saves you from giving up your ideals or opinions when others try to dominate you or make you change (your mind).

what I also meant was stubbornness in the heat of the moment, like, when someone says no to you.. maybe what I really meant is whether leos appreciate and cherish the opinions of others. sometimes it seems that they do but they just can't admit it lol. it makes relationships with them hard and wearisome.

Personally I don't like people I can't get on the same page as myself. I don't hate them or wish the worst for them though. I just rather surround myself with people that will follow me, or at least inspire me enough to follow them.
