Scorpio Man: Overview
Scorpio men are incredibly passionate individuals who are set in their ways. And though they can be jealous and secretive, they are compassionate and loving, as their closed loved ones very well know. Much like Scorpio women, Scorpio men are also mysterious and very sensual, but are vindictive when wronged. RELATED: The Best & Worst Personality Traits Of The Scorpio Zodiac Sign These passionate men are full of heart and soul, but know what they want and will stick to the path they have set for themselves. Independent by nature, he doesn’t like being told that he can’t achieve something, and he definitely doesn’t like being lied to. His stubbornness serves him well in bringing his ambitions to fruition, and he won’t stop until he gets there. His work ethic is something to be truly envied. This incredibly complex zodiac sign can be serious, however, so it’s best to not get in his way; otherwise, you face a truly bitter and resentful man. It’s also difficult to convince him of something once he’s made his mind up, as he tends to think in black and white terms. But his curious nature and intuition keep him on his toes, always learning new things. And if you’re lucky enough to break through his rough exterior, you’ll find that his wisdom and loyalty are refreshing.
Scorpio Man In Love and Relationships
When Scorpio is searching for a mate, things can get intense. He’s not one to play games or waste time, so if someone isn’t interested, he moves on quickly. However, if he is interested, things can become fiery, fast. He shows his interest through actions as a way to get a sense of their own personality traits relative to his, meaning he takes his dates to romantic locations. Scorpio men are dominant but can act in two different ways: either he’s open and honest, or he continues to put up a front for fear of getting hurt. When the Scorpio man falls in love, he’s a truly devoted partner who will commit his entire life to the one he adores. He showers his romantic partner with love, treating them like royalty, intense passion, and, of course, sensuality. Because he tends to become attached to his partner, he’s all in; should they create cause for concern, he won’t spend a second with someone who doesn’t want him; this also means he will be full of disdain and seek revenge in one way or another. In a relationship, Scorpio is understanding and loving, but he has a dark side. He’s also prone to jealousy and being possessive, so even if he has a monogamous relationship, he will always be on the lookout for signs of cheating or betrayal. If that happens, expect a severe response sure to cause pain. He wants a mate for life, so a relationship with him is full of care, respect, trust, and loyalty. In terms of Scorpio compatibility, this sign is most compatible with fellow Water signs Cancer and Pisces, as well as Earth signs Capricorn and Virgo. Cancer is emotional, intuitive and passionate, and have the same goals as Scorpio; Pisces is creative and sensitive, and gives Scorpio what they lack; Capricorn is goal-oriented and supports Scorpio emotionally when they need it most; Virgo matches Scorpio’s loyalty and compassion. If you have a Scorpio Sun, be sure to complete your full birth chart (also called a natal chart) for a better sense of love compatibility. Your Sun sign is only one part of your personality, so it’s best to have the whole picture. You have many more placements in your charts that affect your life and personality, so don’t just focus on your Sun sign alone.
Scorpio Man Sexuality
Scorpio is easily the most intense and sensual zodiac sign in astrology! Ruled by two planets that control our sexuality and instincts, it’s no wonder the Scorpion of the Zodiac is well worth the hype. This sign brings a high level of energy and passion to the bedroom, and sex with him is powerful and emotional. Sex with a Scorpio man can be tender or truly primal, and though he prefers emotional intimacy to physical intimacy, he wants to satisfy his partner no matter what. In fact, part of that satisfaction for him is giving his partner an experience that bonds them or borders on something spiritual.
Scorpio Man Personality Traits
Scorpio’s personality is a perfect balance of ambition, passion and loyalty mixed with jealousy, secrecy, and dominance. Anything this man sets his mind to, he will accomplish; he’s also a bit competitive, which puts him ahead of the game in most cases. Nothing can derail him from achieving what he set out to do, and even if it’s not career-based, Scorpios truly aren’t afraid of the challenges life throws at them. Despite being go-getters, they have a softer side to their personality once they show their vulnerability. This is one of the most loyal zodiac signs, especially in a romantic relationship. Honesty and trust are of the utmost importance to them, and they treat their partners with respect, affection and warmth. As partners, they devote their heart and soul to the one they love, and remain faithful until the end. But for those unfortunate enough to see their dark side, Scorpio’s jealousy and possessiveness is enormous and fierce. There’s nothing Scorpio hates more than liars, so if someone breaks their trust or betrays them, they are incredibly resentful, unforgiving, and sure to get their revenge. Their jealousy can run rampant in relationships if left unchecked, and they can easily become possessive if they think their partner isn’t fully, 100 percent committed. And because they tend to take their time being vulnerable, they are also secretive and quite mysterious, leaving others to wonder what they are really like. They hide their true selves in an effort to protect their emotions, and won’t readily reveal information about themselves. RELATED: 50 Best Scorpio Memes That Describe This Zodiac Sign
Scorpio Man: Career
Because they are so independent, in the workplace, Scorpio prefers to work alone, as they are more productive that way; they aren’t great team players, unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean they slack off; rather, they are able to focus on completing tasks and have a strong work ethic. When left to their own devices rather than being micromanaged, they put out work of quality and excellence. The best careers for Scorpio are those that let his intelligence and hard work shine through. He does best in any career, really, but the best fit for a Scorpio man include psychology, criminology, therapy, medicine, research, journalism, or teaching.

He also wants to raise them as individuals who are respectful, both of people and traditions. And while Scorpio relies on himself, at the end of the day, he knows he’s nothing without his brood.
Scorpio Man: Friendships
As friends, Scorpios are incredibly devoted and passionate, making a friendship with them one that’s full of adventure, generosity and loyalty. He’s not one to make friends quickly, so his closest allies are those he’s known for quite some time; he doesn’t open up emotionally to people he’s just met, and it will take some time to win him over. Still, he does have a large friend circle, though many are simply acquaintances. He’s also weary of letting people in because of his vindictive nature. His friends understand that trust and honesty are the basis of a healthy relationship, and should they go against either, they will be met with anger and bitterness, and most likely cut out for good.
