What a Leo Man Looks for in a Woman
1. A sharp sense of style
If you’re going to grab the attention of a Leo man, you need to look like a million bucks.
Leos are the stars of the zodiac—they’re actors, celebrities and royalty.
They have a reputation to keep, and they need a lady who dresses the part.
Buy chic clothes (designer always impresses), and dress in a way that’s mature, but sexy.
But no short-short stuff unless it’s tasteful.
And make sure everything matches from your sunglasses to your heels.

2. Self care
No sloppy looking ladies for the Leo man, please!
You hair should be done and your clothes should be free of stains and holes.
Treat yourself to a manicure and go to yoga class in the morning.
Grooming, physical health and having good energy from taking care of yourself all stand out to this zodiac sign.
Don’t just do it for him—do it for yourself!
He wants a woman who invests in herself, because a Leo knows—who’s more important than me, myself and I?
3. Leo men love women who shine
A Leo man likes a woman who stands out from the crowd.
Someone who grabs everyone’s attention.
Sure, a flashy dress can’t hurt, but what I’m talking about is charisma.
If you’re trying to bag a Leo, you’ve got to know how to charm a crowd.
Practice your conversational skills. Turn on your megawatt smile.
Start feeling yourself.
When other people are feeling you, the Leo man will get interested.
4. A Leo guy wants a self-assured woman
Leo men are looking for a confident woman who has the stamina and willpower to stand up for herself.
A woman who believes in herself and doesn’t let haters get into her head.
Leo is ruled by the sun, so they have a very healthy ego.
He’d like to be with a woman who, like him, is secure in who she is and what she wants out of life.
She can’t rely on him for her sense of identity or confidence.
He’s perfectly happy to pump you up when you’re filling down (and he’s really good at that), but you’ll need to be your own support team first.
Be like the stately lioness, and the Leo will come running.
5. Prioritize your own life if you want a Leo man
Along the same lines as having faith in yourself, you always want to show a Leo man that you have a lot going on in your personal life.
Leo men are interested in someone who is interesting.
And the best way to become more interesting is to have plenty of hobbies, goals and ambitions.
He wants to share his life with someone who is his equal—someone who works just as hard and brings her own vision and talents to the table.
For a Leo man, he envisions his future as anything but ordinary.
So he’s going to need an extraordinary woman to build it with him.
6. He’s looking for a cool chick
Are you uptight?
Might want to unwind a little before you talk to a Leo man.
Don’t get him wrong, he’s into women who look high-maintenance.
But you need to have a laid-back kind of attitude.
Here’s a good test of what he’s looking for: a woman who can impress his friends with how easygoing she is.
A “cool girl” who can grab drinks with them and steal the show with her wit and humor.
If you’re a Debbie Downer, hard to please or a stick in the mud, the Leo will be embarrassed and lose your number.
So carry that upbeat, chill vibe with you everywhere you go to get a Leo man looking.
7. He wants romance
A hardcore romantic, the Leo man has his heart set on the kind of woman who can make him feel like he’s walking on clouds.
A Leo guy is in love with love.
He wants to be that couple in the corner who are doing way too much PDA and getting looks from other people.
So if you want a Leo man, let your mushy side out.
Make him feel like your Prince Charming.
Be affectionate and write him cute little notes. Slow-dance with him.
Get him feeling romantic, and you’ll have a Leo all over you.
8. He’s looking for someone exciting
Do you like to have fun?
A Leo guy wants a woman who’s a blast to hang out with.
Think amusement park rides, beach days and spontaneous weekend trips.
Be full of surprises.
As a fire sign, the Leo man is young at heart, and he needs someone he can play with and release his inner child.
Feel free to get silly—just look cute doing it.
9. He wants a cheerleader
In a relationship, a Leo man expects it to be you and him against the world.
He wants to know that he can lean on you for support, and that you’ll give it freely and without judgment.
In short, he wants a woman who can be his personal cheerleader.
Now is the time to pump up his ego!
Let him know there’s no one half as good-looking, charming and amazing as he is.
If he has doubts about what he’s doing, tell him you have all the faith and confidence in the world in him.
Show him you’re on his team. (As if you’d want to be on anyone else’s!)
Anna Kovach shares other ways you can support him and show him you’re his dream girl in Leo Man Secrets.
10. Success
What have you accomplished that gives you bragging rights?
Being able to point to something that you’ve achieved is a good way to get a Leo man interested.
It doesn’t have to be anything major, but it should be something you’re proud of.
However you define your success, and what you do to achieve it, is what matters to the Leo man.
You don’t have to have money, fame or fancy stuff.
But you should definitely have something to talk about as a way of self-promotion!
11. A love of dressing up
If you have a gold sequined dress that’s been gathering dust in the back of your closet waiting for the right occasion, this is it.
A Leo man wants to be impressed by the way a woman looks.
He’s a sucker for a lady who looks like she’s ready for the paparazzi.
When he asks you for a date, he himself is going to make sure he’s dressed to kill.
And he can’t have his date making him look bad wearing ripped jeans and a t-shirt.
If you feel like you’re overdressed, just know it’s not possible with this man.
You could roll up to the laundromat dripping in jewels and he wouldn’t bat an eye.
Nothing is too good for the King of the zodiac.
12. Loyalty
All Leo guys want a ride-or-die woman.
They need to be able to put their trust in a woman, and know that she isn’t going to screw them over or abandon them for greener grass.
Leos wrap up their pride into their relationships, so when someone betrays them, it’s more than emotional.
It’s a huge hit to their ego.
Keep your promises, keep his secrets and put him first before others.
Show him you can be the Bonnie to his Clyde, because that’s what a Leo man is really searching for.
13. Passion
No ho-hum relationships for this man, please.
The Leo man is a fierce, fiery and passionate lover who wants explosions in the bedroom.
He’ll rock your world, but only if you can play your part.
He wants a woman who will meet his enthusiasm and let go of her inhibitions.
If you felt like a caged animal in your past relationships, it’s time to unleash your inner tigress with a Leo man.
14. Someone who returns his affection and attention
When he’s dating a woman, a Leo man puts all of his focus on her.
He’s going to pour his heart and soul into the relationship and make sure she knows she’s on top of the world with him.
But the catch is, he needs to know that he’s going to get this in return.
Leos have big hearts, and they’re more generous than anyone else you know.
But a Leo man is no fool.
He’s only going to invest all that energy into someone who doesn’t use and abuse it.
