All about Aries Man

Aries man  March 21-April 19

 

Introduction:

King James I once said…I can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman. Well thankfully, God did His bit in blessing us with the quintessential gentleman in the Aries man! Charming, attractive, dominating, energetic, humorous and above all chivalrous, the Arian male is the amalgamation of all things good.

A man of action, he makes his presence felt just by his very existence! At a party you can spot him behind the bar mixing drinks or at a night club he will be the one bullying the DJ to play his favourite tracks. But wherever he is you can surely see his aura spreading radiantly across the room and people around naturally gravitating towards his charming persona.

Aries men are usually aggressive and energetic and are constantly in the whirlpool of activity. While the aggressive kinds have majority stake under this zodiac sign, there are also the passive types who are usually quiet, observant and speak only when spoken to. 80% of them would be classified as aggressive and 20% as passive. Within the 80% there are certain types who have a dark side to them. While they may have some core characteristics like being compassionate at times but are mostly self centered.  I have encountered such type of Aries men and for the record, most of the above and what is written ahead does not hold true for them.

How to identify an Aries man?

 

Aries men are usually bursting at seams with unbounded energy. This energy stems from their ever-flowing ideas and creativity. So you are most likely to spot an Aries man in animated conversation with someone or interacting with a group of people. And the point of differentiation between him and the others would be his sparkling demeanour. 

A typical Arian will make himself comfortable in any given surrounding. When in his true element, he can discuss even rocket science with easy grace. But when he is out of sorts, he is likely to recoil into a shell.

An Aries man is quick to take you under his wing, if he takes a fancy to you. And you will find yourself on a joyride with a dynamo. He is the one with quick actions and with a quicker mental process to match. Even the passive Aries men are good conversationalists so it is easy to be around them at a social event.

What are his general personality traits?

 

The personality of an Arian can be defined in a word – passion. He is passionate about everything in life… from his first job to his golden jubilee wedding anniversary. You will never see him lagging behind or being lax about anything.

However he is rather low on patience. He cannot stand procrastination or half baked jobs. So if you have to keep up with him, you better sprint. An Aries man is bold, confident and dead sure of himself (and that includes his irresistible persona, his attractive face and his way with words).

But perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of an Aries male is his dominating nature. Even the small percentage of passive Arians is not completely bereft of this trait. For him dominance is a term that comprises absolute control, total mastery and often dictatorial attitude. There is something ‘Herr Hitler-like’ about his mindset, which coupled with cynicism, can lead to a rather overpowering personality.

What are the finer traits of his personality?

 

Very often with the Aries man it’s a case of your own weapons being turned on you. Cynicism in his nature that propels him ahead often turns him into a self analytical critic. Moreover, it does not allow him to tolerate criticism from others. Cynical and short tempered, an Aries man is usually found to have less self control. To combat his cynicism, he takes to meditation, spirituality and philosophy. Full of insights, he is an interesting conversationalist.

 

Arians are thinkers, dreamers and achievers. Their approach to life is realistic and practical. They are more emotional than sentimental but their realism helps in balancing their nature.

How is he when in love?

 

An Aries man will never tire of experiencing love. If he fails the first time, he will gather the remains of his broken heart and begin again.

His love is full of passion, mounting to frenzy. He will wheel you round and round in the roller coaster of his emotions until you are puffing with excitement. No half-baked love this! He will court you in style and woo you till you are dizzy with his attentions. He will never hide his love or emotions. It will be a jolly ride all the way.

But of course there would be bumps and potholes aplenty. An Aries man, especially the aggressive kind, will be as much a control freak when in love as he is when not in love. He would want to know everything about you. Don’t bother (or should I say dare) to flirt while you are dating an Arian. He will smolder like lava at the minutest signs of betrayal. And don’t get fooled by the passive Arian who appears to be ‘super cool’ every time your mobile phone buzzes with text messages from your male friends. Passive or aggressive notwithstanding… remember he is an Arian first.

You can expect the same from him too. He is usually committed to a relationship as long as he is actually in love. His attention to you will largely depend on your ‘interest holding potential’… the longer you sustain his interest, the stronger you bond will be.

How is he in various relationship roles?

 

Undoubtedly his responsible nature makes him an excellent son, although his streak of doing things his way can make him a parental nightmare as well. Extreme possessiveness and his love for romance makes him a good boyfriend/husband. But be well aware of his obsession with love and make no mistakes. He finds it difficult to forgive errors in love and his emotions are not to be trifled with.

As much as he can be a doting husband and father, he can be equally crude and rude if driven by his moods. He wants his children to be well-behaved and disciplined at all times. He can be like a child with a child, wrestle with kids or cuddle them. But at the same time he is a tough father to deal with you rub him the wrong way or don’t live by his rules.

At a party, you will often spot an Aries man talking to everybody. His ability to converse intelligently and to take initiative in breaking the ice makes him do this naturally. Since he is capable of sharing his emotions because he trusts people easily, he has many friends. But this is not before you have passed his qualifying rounds of trust. As a friend he is totally dependable. You can trust him with your secrets as he is very secretive and expects the same of you.

Is there more to hispersona?

 

Very often with the Aries man it’s a case of your own weapons being turned on you. Cynicism in his nature that propels him ahead often turns him into a self analytical critic.

Arians are thinkers, dreamers and achievers. Their approach to life is realistic and practical. They are more emotional than sentimental but their realism helps in balancing their nature.

Being an achiever, an Arian sets goals and targets for himself, which need not necessarily be monetary in nature. But true to his core temperament he will do things his way or no way. Frank Sinatra’s song My Way sums up what I am trying to say.

Compatibility quotient:

 

Compatibility between two individuals depends on various factors and not just on their likes and dislikes. I have often found that persons of similar behavioural traits don’t quite hit it off in the long run. For a long standing relationship, a balance between aggressive and passive traits of a personality is necessary. And more so in case of Aries men!

 

Aries man and…

Aries woman: 3.5/10. An Aries woman is too similar to her male counterpart to make a relationship successful. Even the most passive of Aries men and women are dominating and overpowering. In such a case, who would dominate whom?

Taurus woman: 4/10. A Taurus woman will not be able to handle the Arian ego effectively. She is too practical to allow his impulsiveness and he is too fond of his freedom, to like her ‘sticking together’ ideas.

Gemini woman: 10/10. Gemini-Aries can paint the town red… with passion, love, fire or actual paint. With challenges and adventure at every step and each ready for it, this relationship can be loads of fun and full of conversation.

Cancer woman: 6/10. A balanced relationship can be had with much hard work at both ends. The Arian will need to keep his bluntness in check, while the Cancer girl will have to curb her ‘mothering’ feeling. Both will have to bring their emotions on a mutual comfort level for a relationship to work.

Leo woman: 6/10. Great chemistry and a happy match, with full on emotions thrown in! But a word of caution here… too much of similarity can bring the relationship to a dead end.

Virgo woman: 4/10. Not a very happy venture! The Arian will find it difficult to take orders from the ‘preaching’ Virgo woman. Their personalities are too contrasting to result in a healthy relationship.

Libra woman: 7/10. If there’s something called love at first sight, this can be it. Each will be taken in by the other’s intelligence but for things to go a long way, both will have to use patience and understanding.

Scorpio woman: 9/10. He has all the passion and masculinity that she’s looking for and she has all the mystery and femininity that he’s looking for. So far a perfect match! Only both may have to add a dash of respect for each other to sustain the relationship.

Sagittarius woman: 6/10: The Sagittarian woman will share a good deal of her love for adventure and travel and her sense of humour with the Arian. He in turn will impress her with his creativity and intelligence. This relationship can be for keeps if both are able to keep their bluntness in check.

Capricorn woman: 9/10: With the right amount of submissiveness, the Capricorn female can find a perfect match in an Arian. She may find it difficult to handle his egoism and dominating nature, but she has patience enough to be steady with him.

Aquarius woman: 7/10: The Aquarian girl has the right amount of independence and femininity to floor the Arian. She will be sporting enough to take in his angry outbursts and he will be caring enough to infuse their relationship with passion. But too much of dominance which an Aquarian woman displays from time to time could play spoils sport.

Pisces woman: 7/10: This combination can go either way. With the nagging Piscean woman and sarcastic Aries man, it can be a boat on the rocks. Or with the emotionally dependent Piscean and the masculine Arian, it can be a match made in heaven.
