Would leos lie?

Do Leos Lie to Get What They Want

Leos can be charming and persuasive but are generally honest. They enjoy flattering others and seek admiration, but not necessarily to deceive. Their intentions depend on individual personality rather than astrology. It is important to consider personal differences instead of stereotypes.

a leo might lie or sweet-talk, but they are honorable about it. they wouldn't do it if they didn't have noble intentions

Bla, bla, bla...

Sometimes lies are necessary. I lie when I need to or I think something is nobodys business and they keep persisting for an answer. As far as compliments go, I am always sincere.

Can you sense when someone is being insincere with you al7isra? Does he come around a lot? Call you all the time? Other things can show if he is being sincere. Not just what he says.

Its kinda a "duh" answer from me to your question also.They lie for getting what they want and if its not anything physical its for thier ego of being liked or making themselves feel better by doing something nice😉Course don't know much of anyone who doesn't do things for the same reasons....

to answer your question seriously, though, al7isra..
I don't lie or "sweet talk" to get what I want. With your guy, if it seems some of his compliments aren't genuine, I wouldn't worry about it TOO much (although I DESPISE false flattery and only give sincere compliments personally). Because, with a Leo, he obviously likes you...or he wouldn't be wasting time on you.

If it really bothers you, though, just call him on it. Don't be scurred. If he really has been lying, he'll try to justify it somehow, but he most likely won't do it anymore. If he wasn't lying, then you'll know, right?

Basically, think of a Leo's creed as:

"I said what I meant, I meant what I said, and I'm true to my word 100% ."

The reason people think Leo's are just flattering is because of the dramatics. It's not insincere, we just don't know how to do it any other way.

Dancing Bread>>The reason leos use dramatics is for flattering.

Not true. We just love being dramatic (for many reasons) You are selling yourself a tale if you think that we are dramatic in order to flatter, we like flattering, because we like to see people happy, but that's not the reason we're dramatic....see, that's the thing about scorpio, your so suspicious, it just takes you so long to figure things out.

Dancing Bread>>Oh..I'm just giving you leos a hard time...my closet friends are leos...
But you are speaking about yourselves...my comments are from my friends that I have known for a while...nothing personal...

Nothing taken personally. Actually, I was hoping for a tit for tat. I'll show you mine, if you show me yours. There was a silent challenge there for you....I wanted to see if you would see it (if not see it, feel it, being a water sign and all), and/or respond to it, or would you simply ignore it? (which is what you did, ignore it I mean)

And in case your wondering...which you probably are...this is not about power (ie, I'm not out to get you, or one up you), it's about learning. I would love to know more about the scorpio personality.

Leo needs to know that in case Leo didn't

why?

I said that just in case somethings are taken personally. Because some people do take them that way as far as comments about their sun sign. But, there is nothing wrong with a healthy debate.

Dancing Bread >>Yes I am...what do you do with delicate flowers—

Normally, I would walk right up to them, smell them, touch their petals softly, and watch them drink in the sun......but where there's a scorpio involved, I suppose it would be wise to check for a trip wire nearby first!

Dancing Bread >>I see you have a soft spot for us scorpios....

I do. A very soft spot.

sagitTAUries >>it's called "pity" db

It's not pity. But I do see through them often, as a Leo would. And as I let them analyze me, I learn so much about them. Things that they arn't aware that I know. (Things I wouldn't dare let them know that I know) That's why leo seems arrogant to them at times....because leo knows, without scorpio having said a word, about the secret key, that goes to the secret lock on the secret door, behind which is hidden....well, you really wouldn't want to know, would you?

...arrogance is looking behind the door and claiming to understand...but that is ok...b/c that is what I like about you....

Did you mean Leos when you said this? If so, explain to me why this would be something you like about "Leos" DB? I mean, I guess this is somewhat hard for me to understand. Maybe it's because I'm a Leo, right? Why would you like somebody who makes "claims"? Just a question that has me confused.

I have to admit, it took me years to get a good understanding of my scorp. I think I have a much better understanding now. But in my case it came with giving up TRYING to understand all the damn time. All of a sudden I saw a lot of what I overlooked just by letting it go. I realized it wasn't as complicated as I made it for myself.

Dancing Bread >>I'm sorry kitten, but don't get ahead of yourself...

I'm not really. Read on...

Dancing Bread >>You may use that excuse of being arrogant b/c of all you know...but there are plenty of leos that can't...That I know...

Can't what?

Dancing Bread >>Besides...claiming to know information doesn't 'justify' your means in being arrogant. Arroagance does not require 'knowing'...it requires ego...and leo's have tons of it People with knowledge can be humble...look it up, it's a great word

I'm not trying to justify my arrogance. I know I can be arrogant, but I always try to do it with playfullness, no harm, no foul. And yes, Leo has ego. And plenty of it. However, there's no shortage of it with a Scorpio either. As a matter of fact, I've heard told that "...what he says will never be self-effacing. Scorpio has total ego. He knows what he is and he knows what he is not, and nothing anyone else thinks will change this knowledge."

PS - what I was actually saying, is that Leo IS humble with scorpio. Perhaps more than they realize. I don't claim to know what's behind the door....I'm just claiming an awareness that there is a key, and a secret one at that. No matter what you say. There is definately a wall that goes up around scorpio. Leo realizes there is a wall....em, a protective barrier, we'll call it instead.....and is softer, gentler with the scorpio because of it.

Dancing Bread >>What lies behind the secret door does not have an instruction manual for leos...you will grasp things here and there...but then you will find things that appear to contradict...and the reason is because you still do not realize what you are seeing...the secret door doesn't need to be lock...arrogance is looking behind the door and claiming to understand...but that is ok...b/c that is what I like about you

lol, again, I don't claim to know how to unlock the door, just aware that there is a way. Very riveting stuff to a leo, we'd love to just dive in there and explore the depths. But we know that this would not be allowed by the scorpio. Perhaps that's part of our fascination with you?

Dancing Bread >>Later kitten....

Yes my little puppy....

Notice how the scorpio didn't answer you....lol....textbook scorpio that one is. A scorpio is never what he appears to be on the surface.....never ever....he's not even what he appears to be a few layers down.
He is so complex, he confuses himself. He is often his own worst phyciatrist. And if you seem to have some answer to his mystery, it titilates him....never loose your mystery with your scorpio. Always keep something of yourself to yourself, if you can...(you said you have a scorp bf, did you not?) They love mystery, being so mysterious themselves. If it interests him, there will not be a mystery that will be left unsolved. They will go anywhere, and do anything to solve this mystery. lol, in order to get the most out of your relationship with a scorpio, you need to be a combination of Count Dracula, Carl Jung, and Madonna.
