What I've noticed

As an Aquarian woman, & in terms of Leo's and Aqua relationships, I've done the research, I've heard the horror stories about the 2 together & for anybody else in an Aqua/Leo relationship, I'll go ahead & share my story about being with a Leo man.

First off, my Leo man is very selfish but not in terms of not wanting to give to others, but instead in terms of being all about pleasing himself FIRST & then others if he's in the mood. I noticed that my Leo man always needs constant reassurance that what he cooked was GREAT or what he's wearing is the BEST & that YES he is the best boyfriend I've had compared to those in the past. Sometimes, I don't mind paying those small compliments or giving credit where credit is due but come on now! Every time we have sex, my moans & my reactions to his touch aren't enough to reassure him that he's satisfying me sexually. Oh no, he wants me to verbally say that the sex was good & THEN and ONLY then will he be at rest for the night. When I asked him why he loves me so much & what first attracted him to me, he said he loved my intelligence & my drive in life. But I noticed that as the relationship goes on, he tends to appreciate my intelligence & my opinions more when they're in HIS favor or when they agree with his thinking & we all know as an Aqua, that's pretty aggrivating because we bow down to NO ONE! He likes intelligence but not too much to the point where I have to school him on a few things. He likes the fact that I'm attractive & get attention from other men but moreso only because it makes him look even better that he's attractive & has a pretty girl on his arm (once again, all about SELF). He loves the fact that I'm a great cook but moreso only because it satisfies his ego when he's able to tell his no-so-lucky friends that I'm a great cook. He loves a clean house & will constantly over do things & that aggrivates the MESS out of me. Inside, he's very critical & judging of other people but he hid this side of him from me until he was comfortable enough with me to reveal his true colors. Inside, he has a very fixed opinion on things & cannot and will not take criticism easily & of course that clashes with the fact that Aquarians are the very same way-thus both of us chose not to grow together or change with eachother for the better because we are too stubborn for our own good. He is easily attracted by the opposite sex & has a very high sex drive. Yep, he's the typical Leo

He's very picky about the difference between what he considers attractive and what he considers "just okay." In terms of his friends, he can be very naive when it comes to his friendships with others. One part of him is a people pleaser who is always trying to prove his worth to his friends, those who are usually higher than him. Some of the time, he'll give his friend his last $ 100 bill knowing good & well that that $ 100 bill was supposed to go towards his phone bill. And when criticised about it (especially from an Aqua) he almost shuts down & puts his tail in between his legs. Part of him is very giving, always trying to convince himself that money gets you respect just like it gets you material things. But the other part of him is very selfish, possessive & somewhat controlling. He is not agrumentative & in fact is more likely to leave me because of an arguement than he is to leave me if I were to cheat on him. With him being a 10, if he sees someone that is an 11, he'll find a way to convince himself that that person is only an 11 for the wrong reason. But if the person is a 20 (way higher than he can argue), he'll almost suck up to that person or almost praise that person. He is very impatient & impulsive & always justifies that part of his persona. He is a Leo. My Leo. I hate him for the same reason that I love him!

"It just sounds to me like he's proud to have you. You're a good cook, you're attractive, smart. Ok... he's proud and wants to show everyone that he can have someone like you. And that's bad?"

No, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I just wish that Leos weren't so hooked on image & aren't always for the "show." Sometimes I wonder, is he asking me to wear "that dress" because HE personally likes it or because he thinks all his boys will want me, so he can sit back & feel the envy all night? You know what I mean? I don't like the feeling of being a Christmas ornament that someone can flash around just to feed their own ego because eventually that gets old & It's already starting too.

Sometimes my Leo will
1. Laugh extra loud for no reason just for the added looks & attention from others
-And see, me being an Aqua, we just find all that unnecessary & annoying. We feel the best way to get noticed is to just simply be yourself

Sometimes my Leo will
2. Say, "Hey can you wear something else" & the funny thing is, what he's asking me to take off will be something he's loved me to wear in the past, BUT because we were going out in the public & it's all about show for him, he'll all of the sudden want me in something alot more revealing
-And see, I'm naturally a rebel anyways. I dress the way I want to dress & feel that if you don't like what I have on, Oh well or if you do like what I have on, good for you. Image in my own eyes is more important than image in everybody else's eyes.

Well, I for one, enjoy reading what Krysrenee writes. A lot of what she writes is just the way I am so I can relate.

"Congrats krysrenee..youre slowly but surely learning how to post like PEOPLE "

The funny thing is, I'm glad I don't write like everyone else because My name is different than yours for a reason. My social security number is different than yours for a reason. And my intelligence is different than yours for a reason. My goal isn't to be like everyone else. And in fact, the very same people that constantly complain about how long my posts are, are the main ones who can't seem to stop clicking on my posts in the first place, thus just further giving me MORE motivation to be different from everyone else.

Evan-you continue to keep being the follower. You continue to write or live your life trying to please everybody. I can't please everybody & the world will not stop rotating just because you think my posts are too long. It's simple. No one put a gun to your head & made you click on any of posts that were created by "Krysrenee" so if you continue to read them out of all the 100 posters out there that have shorter posts, then that's YOUR problem, not mine.

It's simple, when someone has a particular writing style that I don't like or can't understand, what do I do? I don't read it. I don't buy the book. I don't take the time out to read their writings & I definetely don't read their posts, just to go back & complain like a child. It would be different if you were saying that WHAT I write was ridiculous but I've been on this site long enough, everyone knows my writing style now so if you chose to click on it, there should be no complaining. Your overlooking the entire point of my post of WHAT I write & trying to turn into a problem about HOW I write, without even realizing that you're making yourself look alot worse than you're trying to make me look

"Just dump him! It will get worse later on you will just end up saying treetrunk off to him . Go find some intellectual libra or gemini something like that . Atleast go for a more emotionally secure mature leo THEY ARE OUT THERE LOL. Most of them are taken though you got stuck with a second evolved form of a leo too bad . BUT AREN'T THERE THINGS ABOUT YOU THAT PISS HIM OFF ? lol it just seems you should both talk to each other instead of typing to us and work it out "

Well just like the sometimes bad thing about Leo's is their ego, I recognize that sometimes the bad thing about us Aquarians is our too high expectations & our stubborness to change or to adapt to others who aren't anything like us. I already knew coming in that the relationship was going to be a challenge but oh it's workable. Leo's & Aquarians can work good together once the stubborness from both parts evaporates. Both Aquarians & Leos have that attitude that we/they were born to be this way & we often don't change for anyone because we usually pick those partners for ourselves that want the kind of personality that we're offering in the first place. But when you've got 2 bull-like personalities like mine & his in a relationship, the challenge becomes: Ok, it's not just about me or just about him. If we're going to be together, we have to act as 2, & when 2 people face challenges, there has to be alot of sacrifices. Our relationship is very spunky & he can keep up with me in a lot of ways. And I'm pretty sure that he has some complaints about my overall Aquarian behavior but hey, he's not here to write a post on me so until he gets here, only THEN will you see his side of things

"hi kry

next time leos ask you to change an outfit.....tell him to change his as well,,,let me know what his facial expression looks like, haha!

it appears that you have a very showy male leo....god bless ur soul girlie, you have your hands full, the males can be alot worse than the women.

are you getting bored? does he stimulate you intellectually? what is it that attracted you to him or to each other?"

Oh honey, believe me. When he asks me to change an outfit I look at him & say "you wish" & keep it moving. Sometimes his face becomes one of bitterness because once again, I'm not letting him be the "king" of the castle & sometimes, depending on how rude or harsh I respond to his request, he'll almost kind of put his tail in between his legs. His challenge with me is respecting AND admiring that my personality is just as strong, if not stronger than his.

And no I'm not getting bored because we both have a big sense of humor & we are compatible in other areas like hobbies, our morals & what we believe in. Now on the intellectual tip, sometimes I wish he was a little more intellectual when I have my Aquarian moments & want to get "deep." If I ask him for his opinion on Brittney Spears or something, he'll simply say, "She's crazy." And I'll be sitting there waiting on an actual thought out opinion, but in reality, he believes that just by uttering 2 words, he has spoken his opinion. Versus me, who would've still been giving my opinion on her 20 minutes later. But hey, I realize that I talk too much anyways & so in order to sacrifice for him & to kind of take away that annoying "tit for tat" that I can have sometimes, I'll tone it down.

"what is it that attracted you to him or to each other?"

Well, in the beginning I was very attracted to him physically, as so he was to me. But idk, it was kind of apparent that we complete opposites in the very beginning, but when we met we were both at those stages where trying something different couldn't hurt & may be a good idea since the people that we were personally chosing in our pasts didn't seem to be working out. In the beginning (friendship level), I liked his spunk, he reminded me of me when it comes to my wild, outspoken & "queen" Aquarian days. And sometimes he'd turn into the "let's stay in the house & watch movies & have deep talks all day" kind of guy & of course that more down to earth side of him is what me think the relationship was even possible. He claims that he's attracted to me because he knows me alot, but still can't figure me out, in which he sees me as a challenge, almost like a race to get to the finish line or put all the puzzle pieces together.

He says he likes that I'm so street & book smart & that even though challenging, he's never been with a woman like me who challenges him so hard & who likes everything he likes but yet seems to be so completely opposite from him. In the beginning, when I'd tell him that his pride is going to keep him single for the rest of his life, he'd just blow me off but I think he's really beginning to see that there's good pride & bad pride & he always has pride at all of the wrong times. I slowly made him realize that being in another relationship & wanting a shot at love again means toning the pride down (you don't have to completely get rid of it BUT tone it down) so that the other person can like you for YOU & not for the person you often pretend to be. And I think he's slowly getting the point. He's starting to use less pride in bad situations & instead is using his logical mind, even if that means taking a loss.

I'm not going to tell what change he's brought out in me. I'm too stubborn to admit it 🙂

"his pride is going to get the best of him.....he's such a people pleaazer being the King of the jungle. Hopefully, if u stick around he can see your side of things as well as his own....for improvement."

Oh his own pride his stabbed him in the back more than it has helped him through any situation,but the problem is, everyone that knew him wasn't calling it to his attention. In his past, all the women is his life would see the pride sticker sealed to his forehead & take off running like hell! And in his mind, they gave him no reason to change.

"He likes you because you stand your ground and you know who you are as a person.....as a individual you speak volumes with humbleness and gratitude. You come across as not trying to control him but help him and he sees this.....as yes i adore my aqua."

And you know, the crazy thing is, My Leo actually said this to me personally. In the beginning, he felt like I was trying to be his mother; I was always trying to give him advice, or always trying to get him to make a game plan on anything that he does. But he told me the reason he felt that way was because my delivery was wrong & naturally, because I wanted the relationship to work & because I wanted to see if things would change if I could change, I changed up the way I delivered my opinions to him. AND IT WORKED!
You're right, the way I start those "deep" conversations has changed. And hey, I don't mind a little sacrifice or change every once in a while because a Leo being with an Aquarian in general requires alot of patience & deep understanding on the Leo's part too. Instead of me being like the mother in the relationship with him being the naive child who could never get it right, I became the girlfriend & he became the equal boyfriend. It took a while for things to balance out but once they did, our relationship took a completely different angle (for the better). I guess getting to this stage is the hardest part because deep down the Leo wants to run like hell & be with someone who's not as smart as him & the Aquarian wants to dump his butt & find someone who actually uses his "mind" and not his "ego" to decide everything. But for some reason, we couldn't let eachother go & we stuck together & made the necessary changes in order for the relationship to be worth having. And I'm glad it worked!

See, Aquarians can put down their stubborn ways when we really want to but we have to see the cause worth it.

"leos love a challenging person...that can mentally stimulate them to the max, we love to learn and grow from the right people that we come in contact with....we know that there are great benefits from all of this. when you bring it the correct way we attach ourselves to that person and keep them close at heart."

You're right, they do love someone who challenges them (that's the first thing he always mentions when I ask him why he loves me so much), but the key is that the challenges can't be too off the wall. The challenges can't be impossible & in the beginning, my expectations were extremely hard & he almost gave up because sometimes it's easier to just go with the flow & take the easy way out of things. Immature Leos will never truly understand how grateful they should be to have a mature Aquarian attached to them. A mature Leo will have trouble in the beginning of the relationship realizing this, but with time, he'll always be more grateful than annoyed. And I was lucky to have the kind of Leo that believes that Love is a job & an action more than it is an emotions & words!

Well, yes there is no shame in my game that I am in "love" with my Leo. But more than love, I understand my Leo for who & what he is. It took me a long time to get past or to understand his ways & the way he "ticks" but somewhere deep inside, I found it not as hard as I thought to put down my stubborn gates just like he found it in himself to tone down the "ego" stuff & just because of the main fact that we mentally & intellectually changed (for the better) for eachother makes our relationship even more worthwhile.

The reason I am so intrigued by my own love for this Leo is because everyone's heard the horror stories about Aquas & Leos & hey, those horror stories are not too far fetched in our situation, BUT the only difference between our situation & those horror stories is that we made it through & now can appreciate eachother for the differences we both have. The books & all the stories weren't lying about how completely opposite Leos & Aquas are; that part is 100% true but hey, when you're looking for true & unconditional love, you have to have real & unconditional understanding & that's exactly what happend

"lol i was thinking the same thing i mean how much can you really say about her ? summing it up saying "sshe is crazy" is great really the analysis and discussion will lead to the same conclusion so its pointless . I would have said the same thing as the leo guy infact most guys would probably say that ?"

I was just giving an example of how "undeep" my Leo is. Sometimes I'll ask him a question (hoping to spark a deep conversation) like: "How do you feel about the status of the economy?" and he'll probably respond by saying, "It's bad." Now me, if I had've been asked that same question, I would've dug deeper & expressed my thoughts & opinions on the high gas prices, job losses, homes in foreclusure, etc. Just to say "it's bad" is more like a DUH! OBVIOUSLY! But when I asked that question, I wanted him to give me more than that, I mean come on!

Or I've even asked him why his last relationship didn't work out & his response was simply, "Things just didn't work out." And of course, I was thinking, WELL DUH! That's why you're not together anymore! But I wanted more. I know some men (and women for that matter) can get a little uncomfortable when it comes to discussing ex girlfriends/boyfriends & anything painful in their past..I understand that. But giving me one word answers doesn't cut it. But yet, the funny thing is, when he turns around & asks me the same question, he wants full details!...weird

Well the crazy thing is, when he does give me those short answers, I'll try to ask him the same question in a different way. And hey, I don't really consider them bad questions because if I'm asked those same questions, I immediately start to open up & answer them as thoroughly as possible. The questions may not be specific enough but then again Aquarians usually latch on to a question as soon as possible & run with it, versus Leos are like children sometimes. Sometimes you literally have to ask them specific questions. You can ask me "Why did your last relationship not work?" versus a Leo where I'd have to ask him, "So tell me specificially why your last relationship didn't work out? What happened? What factors do you think made the relationship fail?" and sometimes that gets frustrating, considering if you were to ask me the same question I wouldn't necessarily look at you like I'm confused

I agree with LK and just Air signs are zdiac communicators...it's not like Leos haven't thought about what you're Aquas think, it's just they're a fire...no patience to get into things like that. It's not part of their essence...you're looking for Aqua in Leo?

Or I've even asked him why his last relationship didn't work out & his response was simply, "Things just didn't work out." And of course, I was thinking, WELL DUH! That's why you're not together anymore! But I wanted more. I know some men (and women for that matter) can get a little uncomfortable when it comes to discussing ex girlfriends/boyfriends & anything painful in their past..I understand that. But giving me one word answers doesn't cut it. But yet, the funny thing is, when he turns around & asks me the same question, he wants full details!...weird

Erm, sounds like most guys I know - except for some Libra or Sag guys, guys drop one-liners constantly...drives me up the wall at work too.
He wants full details because it's normal for you, if you give one-liners like him, then he'll get worried probably

yea I've noticed that too - mean if you're smart, won't other people be telling that instead of deeming yourself too great for others? idk...

I do think they hate silence though...my Libra friend says he sits there asking himself questions and elaborating on best responses...lol - I thought it was a joke initially 😕

gotta love air though 🙂

I mean, come on guys. It's not like I just sit up all day & think of random conversations to have. The "economy" question came up because we were both sitting down watching CNN while the network was talking about how bad the economy was. So my question was valid & I brought up the question at the right time.

During the time when I asked him about his last relationship not working out, I asked him the question because he asked me FIRST why my last relationship did not work out.

Now, I'm sure EVERY relationship, regardless of your sign has had some of those deep talks & all I'm saying is, sometimes I wish my Leo would get a little more in depth with his answers, that's all. There's no crime in that. To be honest, I would hate if my Leo kept going on & on & on about a question I asked him because that would be too extreme & at the same time I hate those 1 word answers. I just wish there was a "middle" ground. And hey, that's how we Aquarius' truly get to know someone (as with most people) by finding out about their beliefs & their opinions about certain things. Instead of asking him not to cheat on me, to be completely honest in the relationship & just "hoping" that he's the type that is goal oriented just because he "SAID" he was, I try to find out for myself in other ways. There's no crime in that.

But don't get me wrong, by now I have accepted how my Leo responds to my generalized questions so what I did was start to re-word them different & get a little more specific. At first, it drove me crazy because of course, my stubborness came out but at the end of the day, the fact that we're completely the opposite in how we "tick" just make the relationship just that much more interesting. I learn alot more about myself sometimes when I adapt to other people when I really don't want to & I think that's healthy for me as a person. But that doesn't mean, I'm not going to stay true to myself. When I'm in a relationship with a Libra or Gemini this situation is not even a problem, issue or concern. It's just that I recognize MEN in general are like this, & when broken down so are Leos
