Attracting a Leo man is like creating a work of art. Leo men are intrigued by confidence first and foremost, and that’s the best way to approach this type of man. They are looking for a partner who matches their energy and who has the same type of passion for life and love.
How to Attract a Leo Man
The Leo man wants to be the center of attention but will want a partner who has a similarly strong presence and authenticity and can command the same type of energy. Leo men see themselves as royalty and are looking for a partner to rule with them. They are attracted to big personalities and even bigger hearts, as Leo rules the heart, and love is the meaning of life to the Leo man.
What do Leo men find attractive?
Leo men are often attracted to the loudest, most confident, or boldest person in the room. They love a sunny demeanor or someone more optimistic than most. They seek someone to shine with them, not dampen their light. Leos are often dramatic, and they are attracted to people with the same sense of bravado as they are highly theatric individuals themselves. However, the Leo man will instantly be turned off if you try to embarrass them in any way or publicly bruise their ego.
Leo men are looking for someone who commands the room but not in a brash or unfriendly way.
Leo men value loyalty and someone who is exactly who they say they are. This is why they don’t do as well with mutable signs because they want someone to stick to one personality rather than being a more flexible or fluid type. Leos love security, and they are attracted to people who value this same type of commitment and loyalty as well. The Leo man wants to be worshiped, so if you are into that sort of thing, this would be a good match for you.
They are overall looking for someone who is going to give them all the love and positive energy they give to others, and just want someone who matches their energy at the end of the day.
What physical traits are Leo men attracted to?
Leo men love someone who has a certain flair and regal aura about them, and they are looking for a partner with a sense of style and someone they feel has good taste. They are interested in people who have a good smile or who seem to always be in a good mood, which is also enticing for this man. They are attracted to everything bigger and better. They love big hair, a big personality, and someone who wears a lot of bold or bright colors. They aren’t really into the “clean aesthetic,” however, they are attracted to someone who is put together in some way, or who makes an effort.
These are the type of men who are physically attracted to people who are making a statement and they are often falling in love with charming, confident, sexy, and colorful people. This is the type of man who will not mind going shopping with you as well, and will most likely love to pick out your outfits or enhance your style in some way. At the end of the day, however, it doesn’t matter what you are wearing or what you look like; if you are confident in it and yourself, the Leo man will be attracted to you.
How do you know a Leo man is Interested in you?
You will know if a Leo man is into you if they make jokes, are light-hearted, and want to do things with you publicly. A Leo in love almost has a sort of child-like demeanor, and you will see a very goofy side to the Leo man when they are attracted to you. They will want to do things that are fun and exciting and will not be the type to Netflix and chill if they are into you.
They will want to show you off, take you out into the world, go to a party, and let everyone know who they have by their side, like the proud Leos they are.
The Leo man's heart is attached to their ego. You will know if they are interested in you if when you compliment them, they light up and get excited. If they don’t acknowledge your compliments or care for them, then they most likely are not interested. The Leo man knows how to make people feel wanted, loved, and adored, and if you are not feeling any of the above, then this man may be leading you on and is not really interested in you.
Who are Leo men most compatible with?
Leo men are compatible with fire signs, air signs, or people who have these elements strongly in their birth charts. They aren’t typically compatible with people who are opposite of them or not like them in a lot of ways. Leos love themselves so much that it’s only natural for them to be interested in a partner similar to who they are themselves.
You will often find a Leo man with a Libra, Gemini, Aries, Sagittarius, or even Taurus. They are highly compatible with Libras, who are relationship-oriented individuals who make Leo feel supported and loved the way they like to be.
Aries also makes a passionate partner for the Leo man, and they have the type of compatibility where life is never boring for them or the relationship, and they have a lot of fun together.
Leo rules the heart and the 5th house, whatever sign their 5th house is in, is also an indication as to whom they are attracted to, enticed by, and would form a good relationship with.
What does a Leo man look for in a woman?
Contrary to popular belief, Leo men aren’t the easiest to attract. They have high standards, but they are also so comfortable in themselves and their lives that it takes the perfect match for them to want to leave their single lifestyle and let someone in. But that just makes it all more meaningful when you do form a connection with this man. The best way to attract a Leo man into your life overall is to be confident.
Leo men love flattery, loyalty, big hearts, and confidence, and are looking for a partner who makes their day a little brighter. They want someone on their level and are attracted to people with a certain zest for life.

Adrian Marcel On Purpose, Sacrifice, And The 'Signs Of Life'
In this week's episode of xoMAN, host Kiara Walker talked with R&B artist Adrian Marcel, who opened up, full of heart and authenticity, about his personal evolution. He discussed his days transitioning from a young Bay Area singer on the come-up to becoming a grounded husband and father of four.
With honesty and introspection, Marcel reflected on how life, love, and loss have shaped the man he is today.
On ‘Life’s Subtle Signals’
Much of the conversation centered around purpose, sacrifice, and listening to life’s subtle signals. “I think that you really have to pay attention to the signs of life,” Marcel said. “Because as much as we need to make money, we are not necessarily on this Earth for that sole purpose, you know what I mean?” While he acknowledged his ambitions, adding, “that is not me saying at all I’m not trying to ball out,” he emphasized that fulfillment goes deeper.
“We are here to be happy. We are here [to] fulfill a purpose that we are put on here for.”
On Passion vs. Survival
Adrian spoke candidly about the tension between passion and survival, describing how hardship can sometimes point us away from misaligned paths. “If you find it’s constantly hurting you… that’s telling you something. That’s telling you that you’re going outside of your purpose.”
Marcel’s path hasn’t been without detours. A promising athlete in his youth, he recalled, “Early on in my career, I was still doing sports… I was good… I had a scholarship.” An injury changed everything. “My femur broke. Hence why I always say, you know, I’m gonna keep you hip like a femur.” After the injury, he pivoted to explore other careers, including teaching and corporate jobs.
“It just did not get me—even with any success that happened in anything—those times, back then, I was so unhappy. And you know, to a different degree. Like not just like, ‘I really want to be a singer so that’s why I’m unhappy.’ Nah, it was like, it was not fulfilling me in any form or fashion.”
On Connection Between Pursuing Music & Fatherhood
He recalled performing old-school songs at age 12 to impress girls, then his father challenged him: “You can lie to these girls all you want, but you're really just lying to yourself. You ain't growing.” That push led him to the piano—and eventually, to his truth. “Music is my love,” Marcel affirmed. “I wouldn’t be a happy husband if I was here trying to do anything else just to appease her [his wife].”

I Tried It: 3 Low-Maintenance Wigs That Will Elevate Your Look This Season
There's nothing like the feeling you get when your hair is done. It can instantly boost your confidence and put you in a great mood. I've never been a stranger to hair trends and I often experiment with the latest braided styles and colors.
But there are moments when I just don't feel like doing my hair. I'm natural and a lot of times I will braid or twist my hair up and cover it with a scarf or turban. However, when I crave a different look without the hassle of styling, I reach for a wig.
I've always had a love-hate relationship with wigs. Sometimes, I struggle to get them to lay flat and don't get me started with the bonding glue process. So when it comes to wearing wigs, I like to keep it nice and breezy around this b--- (word to Katt Williams), especially in the summertime.
That's why I jumped at the chance to try these three versatile wigs from Luvme Hair. Each one offers a unique look and is surprisingly low maintenance, which aligns perfectly with my philosophy that wearing wigs should make life easier. Let’s dive into the three styles below.
Headband Wig

This was the first wig I tried on, and I instantly fell in love with it. So much so that it took me weeks to even consider trying the other two. I’m partial to colored hair, especially blonds, browns, and reds, so I was skeptical about the jet black hair. However, I think the color, combined with the curl pattern, worked surprisingly well for me.
One of the things I really liked about this wig was that I didn’t have to braid my hair down first. I could simply throw it over a low ponytail, which is the epitome of a low-maintenance style. The headband has combs inside and velcro on the ends, ensuring a secure fit.
Half Wig

I had never worn a half wig before, so I faced some challenges. I cornrowed the bottom half of my hair where the wig would sit, but I believe this made it more difficult to use the combs. It might just be me though. I straightened the top part of my hair to blend it with the wig, which looked cute for about five minutes.
Firstly, I have a brown/blonde color mix on the ends of my hair, and the half wig is black. So, I had to hide some of the color (I didn’t have time to dye the wig). Secondly, straightening my hair myself is always a hassle because it never lasts long. Add to that the summer humidity, and you get a hot mess. Despite all this, I managed to get some cute pictures before things got out of control, and that’s all that matters, right?
Would I consider this a low-maintenance hair style? Yes and no. I think it’s unrealistic for me during the summer, especially since I enjoy summer activities. However, when the weather cools down, I’ll definitely rock it, dyed, of course.
Bob
Courtesy
Now, this is the wig I was nervous about. I never had a bob and I didn't think I would like it. But once I put bobiana on, my mind instantly changed. I finally understood why the gworls rave about the bob so much. It was giving boss. It was giving grown woman. It was giving the bob means business. Iykyk. It was the ultimate statement.
I will say when I first put it on, one side of my wig just would not lay flat. It took some trial and error, but I finally managed to get it to look good. With the bob, I highly recommend braiding your hair down first as small as you can so it can lay as flat as possible. I really liked the ash blonde color, which is perfect for summer. The length also makes it a great low-maintenance style for the season, so you don't have to worry about the hair making your neck sweaty.
