Scorpio men are known for their mysterious, sexy, and enticing demeanor. They are the man in the corner of the room, perfectly okay with doing their own thing and being their own person, but who are also quietly yearning for a deep connection and a loving partner. So, how do you attract a man whose emotions aren’t easy to read and who is intrigued by the more unusual or taboo sides of life?
How to Attract a Scorpio Man
In order to attract a Scorpio man, you must approach them in a genuine, sincere way, giving them a space to open up to you and develop the connection. Love is sacred, sexy, and passionate for a Scorpio man, and they are attracted to a partner who feels the same way and accepts him for who he is but also leaves some room for the imagination.
What personality traits is the Scorpio man attracted to?
The Scorpio man is attracted to a little mystery. Scorpio men are looking for someone who matches their energy, yet also entices them to learn and know more. Scorpios value their relationships and love, in general, more than they initially let on, but they will be looking for a partner who values love in the same way. They are looking for a partner who helps them feel grounded and who is a more stable force for their emotional selves. They are attracted to people who can provide a sense of security for their transformative lives, and feeling safe in a partnership is incredibly important for a Scorpio to be their best selves in a relationship.
They aren’t the type to outwardly express their emotions right away, but they will be watching every move you make and taking notes on your behavior to see if you are a good fit for them. They want to know how you are feeling about them and will appreciate you opening up to them, sharing your emotions, or showing them how much you are into them. The Scorpio man is attracted to someone who is loving, yet they know how to stick up for themselves and not let anyone walk all over them. This is a trait that is needed when dealing with the Scorpio’s stinger.
What attracts a Scorpio man physically?
Scorpio men are attracted to dark colors, dark aesthetics, and someone who has a little bit of a moody vibe. The type of person other people usually stray away from or are intimidated by, the Scorpio man will be completely intrigued by them. The Scorpio man loves good sex appeal, and if you are confident in yourself, your body, and your sexuality, this is very attractive to them. They are not Virgo men who are highly meticulous over what you wear, or if you look put together or not- they are more interested in the way you are carrying yourself and if there is something different about you than everyone else.
The Scorpio man is attracted to people who turn heads and will want to know more about you if you have that type of enticing aura about you.
A Scorpio man will remember what you wore the first time you met them and what you wore the last time. They are big on aesthetics or the type of vibe someone has, and they are looking for someone who has their own figured out. Scorpio men also love some good eye contact, and you will know whether or not they find you attractive if you catch them staring at you. They are the type of person you make eye contact with and will immediately feel a rush of energy and attraction. They are all about intimacy and are attracted to people with deep and enticing eyes.
How do you know a Scorpio man is interested in you?
Scorpio men will know right away whether they are attracted to you; they are the type of people to be either all in or all out. It’s all about the energy and the electricity of the connection for the Scorpio man. This is why if you are questioning whether or not they are into you, they most likely are not because they will make that known right away by their actions and behavior. They don’t care about what you “should do” or what the “typical” way to approach someone is.
You will know if a Scorpio man is interested in you when they do little things to get your attention, or they come out of their shell a little more around you.
The Scorpio man is the type of person who will want to get matching tattoos or vow your love to each other in the most intimate way. They are not a fluffy, light-hearted love like a Libra man. They are the type to go to the ends of the world for you, and expect you to have that same type of devotion to them. If they want to spend all their time with you and are making plans for the future with you, you’ll know the Scorpio man is attracted to you. The Scorpio man will not see anyone else in the room when they are with you if they are interested in you.
Who are Scorpio men most compatible with?
Scorpio men tend to be more compatible with other water signs, and earth signs, and a lot of Scorpio men are also attracted to fire signs like Leo and Aries. The best compatibility match for Scorpio men is Cancer, Virgo, Pisces, and Capricorn. The Scorpio man is looking for their counterpart, someone who makes life a little easier for them and doesn’t cause unnecessary drama in their already transformative life.
Cancers make great partners for Scorpios because they are just as emotional and loving as the Scorpio man. They are both very protective of their relationships and form a deep connection. Virgos also make great partners for Scorpios because these are two people who have very similar personalities, interests, and tastes. It isn’t hard to form a strong bond between the two, and this is a pairing you’ll see often.
Being ruled by Mars, whatever sign the Scorpio man’s Mars is in as well will also pinpoint the type of person that specific Scorpio is attracted to and more compatible with.
What does the Scorpio man want in a woman?
All in all, the Scorpio man just wants to be loved and understood. To attract a Scorpio man is to attract someone who can get deep with you, yet also inspire and protect you. They are the lovers who appreciate the parts of you others may dismiss or deem unworthy, and they are the type of lovers who protect and cherish their partners. They are looking for this same type of commitment and dedication from another, and being genuine, honest, and a little kinky, will attract to you a Scorpio man.

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].”

You Don’t Have To Choose: How Black Women Can Care For Others Without Self-Sacrifice
One of the primary instructions we receive before a flight takes off is to prioritize putting on your life vest first if there’s an emergency, even before assisting others. It’s funny how this rule rarely translates to the daily routine of women.
As women we are taught, directly and indirectly, to put others first. Whether it’s our romantic partners, kids, parents, friends, or even our jobs. Mental health survivor and founder of Sista Afya Community Care, Camesha Jones-Brandon is challenging that narrative by using her platform to advocate for Black women and their right to self-care.
Camesha created the organization after her struggles with mental health and the lack of community she experienced. The Chicago native explains how she created Sista Afya to be rooted in “culturally grounded care.”

“So at my organization, Sista Afya Community Care, we focus on providing mental health care through a cultural and gender lens,” she tells xoNecole. “So when we think about the term intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, we think about the multiple identities that lead to certain experiences and outcomes as it relates to Black women.
“So in the context of culturally grounded care, being aware of the cultural history, the cultural values, and then also the current issues that impact mental health outcomes.”
Words like “strong” and “independent” have long been associated with Black women for some time and many of us have begun to embrace the soft life and are using rest as a form of resistance. However, some of us still struggle with putting ourselves first and overall shedding the tainted image of the “strong, Black woman” that had been forced on us.
Camesha shares that while there’s more and more communities being created around empowerment and shared interests like running, she still questions, “are Black women really comfortable with being vulnerable about sharing their experiences?”
Being vulnerable with ourselves and others play an important role in healing the instinctive nature of always being “on” for everyone. “I'm currently facilitating a group on high functioning depression, and yesterday, we talked about how when Black women may be struggling or have shared their concerns with other people. They may be minimized, or they're told to just be strong, or it's not so bad, or I went through something worse back in Jim Crow era, so you should be thankful,” she explains.
“So I think there's a challenge with Black women being able to be honest, to be vulnerable and to receive the support that they need in the same capacity as how much they give support to other people. So that is probably a very common theme. I think we've made a lot of progress when we talk about the superwoman syndrome, the mammy stereotype, the working hard stereotype, the nurturing stereotype. I think we're beginning to unpack those things, but I still see that we have definitely a long way to go in that area.”

While we’re unpacking those things, we know that we’re still women at the end of the day. So as we continue to serve in various roles like mothers, daughters, sisters, and caretakers, we have to make caring for ourselves a priority. Camesha reveals four ways we can still care for others without abandoning ourselves.
Trust
First things first, trust. Camesha explains, “Some of the burdens that Black women have can be linked to not feeling like you can trust people to carry the load with you.
“It's hard because people experience trauma or being let down or different experiences, but one of the things that I found personally is the more that I'm able to practice trust, the more I'm able to get my needs met. Then, to also show up as my best to care for other Black women.”
Know Your Limitations
Another thing Camesha highlighted is Black women knowing their limitations. “The other thing that I would like to bring up in terms of a way to care for yourself is to really know your limitations, or know how much you can give and what you need to receive,” she says.
“So often, what I see with Black women is giving, giving, giving, giving, giving to the point that you're not feeling well, and then not receiving what you need in return to be able to feel well and whole individually. So I really think it's important to know your limitations and know your capacity and to identify what it is that you need to be well.”
Don’t Take On A Lot Of Responsibilities
Next on the list is not taking on so many responsibilities, sharing herself as an example. “The other thing is taking on too much responsibility, especially in a time of vulnerability.
“One thing that I personally struggled with was being so passionate about community mental health for Black women, and saying yes to everything and taking on so much responsibility,” she reveals. “That affected me to do well in serving Black women and then also impacting my own well being.”
Practice Self-Care
Lastly, she notes the importance of practicing self-care. “The last thing is really practicing regular self care, regular community care, so that it's embedded into your daily life. So for me, having prepared meals, going to the gym, getting eight hours of sleep, spending time with friends and family, all of those things are part of my self care that keep me at my best,” she explains.
“Then community care, leaning into social networks or social groups, or spending time with other interests or hobbies. That's a part of my community care that keeps me going, so that I can take care of my needs, but also to be able to show up best in care for others.”
