The Aries Man
The Aries man is great at either having lots
of sex with lots of different people, or being completed devoted to one
woman. Nothing in between. He’s
too impatient to master the finer points of courtship. It doesn’t
even occur to him. The Aries man is endearingly authentic to a fault. Even
if he’s dating multiple women when you meet, he’ll just tell
you outright. Although it may seem crude, his open-book policy can actually
create a space of greater trust.
Besides, it’s not like Aries thinks relationships are the be-all
end-all of life. He gets restless, itchy for the next adventure. His eyes
rove, his imagination wanders. Isn’t there another damsel to save
somewhere? Another sexual position he hasn’t tried? He knows his desires
may be more than one woman can supply—and he’s not above shopping
at a few different stores to complete his sexual grocery list. To this independent
sign, bachelorhood is a cherished prize. It’s his ticket to freedom,
adventure, unlimited expression—his access to feeling truly alive.
He’ll never trade it in unless he truly believes a relationship will
provide all those treasures and more.
What he needs is sort of contradictory: a relationship that gives him ultimate
security and full freedom to roam. The Aries man is deeply driven
by a fear of abandonment, so that should never be an issue between you.
Once that’s secured, he feels safe to spread his arms wide and pull
life to him. He wants to live life like it’s a huge playground—more
like a carnival fairground—where he can wander, explore, win you stuffed
animals, and enjoy a freak show or two. On Coney Island, reality is suspended.
There’s a different set of rules, or perhaps none at all, which is
perfect because that means he gets to make them. We can’t help but
mention Aries Hugh Hefner again, who lives at the Playboy Mansion surrounded
by half-naked centerfold models all day. Who cares if nobody else lives
that way? That only makes it more appealing for Aries.
If you want to be with Aries for the long
haul, you’ll have to embrace
his chosen lifestyle. Does that mean he wants everything on his terms? Well,
everything that matters to him. We know tons of Aries men who are in long-term
relationships, even married, but live in separate homes from their partners.
Some even have open relationships, or some need that requires an “understanding” between
you. One bi-curious Aries man agreed to marry his longtime girlfriend, but
she had to allow him to have one “boys’ night” where he
cuddled or made out with a man. How she put up with it, we don’t know—in
this case, he threw a fit and threatened to walk unless he got his way.
She decided to put up or shut up. If what’s good for the Aries goose
ain’t good for the gander, he’d sooner fly away than change
his migratory habits.
The Aries man is a natural leader, so if he does want
kids, he takes great pride in being “head of the household.” There’s
a tinge of chest-beating chauvinism to this, a sense that you could be
cast into the roles of traditional, Leave It To Beaver-era husband
and wife. Of course, you’ll never sleep in separate twin beds like the
Cleavers. Mostly it will all be for show, another part of the peacock you’ll
have to deal with. Even if you don’t have kids, there will always
be a very important third “member” of your household: his penis,
that is. The Aries man is incredibly proud and fascinated of everything
his can do. And you’d better be, too.
There’s usually plenty
to appreciate there, anyhow. It will be obvious when you meet him that
he knows that.
