Good Traits of Scorpio Men
Just like every zodiac, men born under the Scorpio sign have good attributes that make them alluring;
Adaptability
Scorpio Men are greatly adaptable to any situation. This is seen in how quickly they react to dire situations. In your relationship with them, you will be surprised that they have already made backup plans for every occasion, so no matter what is thrown at you guys, they are already prepared in time.
Being a very intuitive sign, they are always prepared for any situation. So do not be shocked if your date immediately takes you to another restaurant if the one you have planned for has been booked. This, in all, makes them great companions and strongly reliable.
Compassionate
Your Scorpio mate would appear cold at first glance, but these signs are extremely compassionate. They have so much emotion inside them that they could break someone down. It is even greater if their compassion is directed toward their lover. Being a fixed sign, your Scorpio mate can be an emotional pillar for you when you feel down or sad. Even better, you are sure of some emotional backup around these guys.
Loving
Scorpio is a deep sign, and this runs into their affections too. They are full of heart and soul. If a Scorpio loves you, just know he is in for it. They love deeply, and they love hard. You can’t just get enough of the love a Scorpio can give. Being sensual, you can feel their love in everything they do for you.
In the bedroom, this is very intense. He would seem like a whole new person. A Scorpio man will expect you to love as hard as he does, connecting to the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Traditionalist
This is another strong attribute of a Scorpio male. He is always inclined in his ways and expects you to do so too. They are not afraid to try out new things, but they still expect you to go on with activities the normal way. For example, Eating dinner out, binging, or going on a fun trip, even picnics. Being a fixed sign, they have plans they are used to and would try to adjust you to fit those plans. They just like to make sure that protocols are followed, no matter what.
Emotional
It is no surprise that Scorpio men tend to be emotional. They are water signs, sensual and sensitive beings who always appear tough on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside. In as much as they have very strong grips on their emotions, it is vital that you, as a Scorpio’s partner, give him some emotional support too.
Being a sensual being, your Scorpio mate would love to connect to you on a deeper level – Emotionally. His emotions also reflect in his actions, which could come in different ways. Judging from how he speaks to you, touches you, and looks at you.
Being a good concealer of his emotions, you, as his partner, might not have the slightest idea that he is sad or angry, just for you not to bother much. Just know that whenever he tends to push off emotional questions, give him his space and then come to him with emotional support. He will appreciate you for that.
Intuitive and intelligent
This is a very powerful combo for a Scorpio male. People under the Scorpio sign tend to be very intuitive, discerning, and shockingly intelligent. They are very sharp signs that try to hit intellectual conversations with you every now and then. They are smart, and dark, so they like it when someone can put up the challenge with them intellectually.
When dating a Scorpio male, engage him in smart discussions to tingle his fancy. Observe what topics he likes and let him bring up topics he likes. They are like natural-born detectives, so if you can show him you can actually play the detective by being mysterious to him, you are already giving him something to uncover, thereby ensuring his continued interest in you.
Fearlessness
One scary thing about a Scorpio male is that he has no fear; one reason you should not dare them is that they do not like being challenged. Guided by Mars, they would protect anyone they love and will do so with all they have if it demands.
Your Scorpio mate is not the type to lay back and watch you being harassed by someone else. He would definitely put up a fight, no matter who the contender is. Be careful not to dare your Scorpio mate into doing something because they will outrightly do it (as long as it lands at you two being together).
Commitment
The men of the Scorpio sign are one of the most committed signs of the zodiac. Being a fixed sign, they stick to a partner as long as they have full trust in the partner. A man of this category will never cheat as he is always all in if he has chosen you to be his mate.
As observed, they want to grow with you at deeper levels in the relationship, and commitment is a big part of their growth. If a Scorpio man loves you, he will only have his focus on you.
Bad Traits of Scorpio Men
Just as every zodiac has good and bad traits, so do Scorpio men. What are some of these horrid traits?
Jealousy
Scorpio men are extremely jealous lovers who crave commitment. You dare not flirt with another man in front of a Scorpio mate and expect him to run toward you, no! A man in this sign would want to trust you with his all, and distrust is a huge turn-off. At first sight of unseriousness, a Scorpio man will automatically lose interest in you.
Also, when you are not honest with him, being the most suspicious of the zodiac, he will sense you are lying, and this can cause a breach of trust. When around friends, give them the utmost special treatment; treating them like every other person will give them the idea that he isn’t a crucial part of your life.

Secretive
One attribute of the Scorpio guy that makes him mysterious and distant is that he is extremely secretive. Scorpio men find it hard to trust anyone, and concerning relationships, they find it even harder to trust anyone. So on approaching him, he seems mysterious and shady. Getting to know him will be very hard as he would shut off his personal life from you.
Before you even enter their consideration list, he might have you undergo tests and psychological quizzes that you may or may not be aware of. This attribute of theirs could be a stumbling block in your relationship, as he will be self-protective of himself. This is also bad as they tend to put up a tough front which could scare you away.
Possessiveness
Scorpio men have a very strong sense of ownership. This even graduate to a personal level of being really possessive. They could literally appear as control freaks. You see them wanting to know who you speak with, where you go and what you are going to do. They will always encroach on your boundaries.
This negative attribute from a Scorpio is due to them being insecure about your relationship with them. He doesn’t want to lose you.
Dominance
This attribute, paired with possessiveness, is a huge turn-off for their partners (you). They inadvertently turn out to become full-time control freaks, wanting everything to align with their wishes. He tends to be bossy and commanding. It’s equally bad that they are secretive; therefore, they will not disclose the reason for their actions.
Stubbornness
Scorpio men are one of the most stubborn of the zodiac. Being die-hard traditionalists, they can be stuck in their ways without changing. Most often, it’s not due to them being strong-headed, but their response could tick them off as stubborn.
Vengeful
The darkest side of a Scorpio male is their vengeful part. A Scorpio is someone you should not try offending, especially in a relationship. They never forget and will always get back at you or their offender. A vengeful Scorpio is detached from all emotions or humanity and will spare no one. Just as they love deep, they hate deeply too.
A Scorpio will painstakingly plan their revenge over time and hit you when you least expect it. So look out for a Scorpio man who you have betrayed, as he may show up in your new relationship.
Dos and Don’ts When Dating a Scorpio Man
Now that you know the good and bad sides of your Scorpio mate, it is important to know what you should do around your mate. Following these rules, you will know what to avoid, when, and where to avoid them. These are just a couple of them;
Do not be too Inquisitive
Being a secretive sign, you do not always want to burden him with questions. If you just met him, know that earning his trust will take a long time and effort. Be careful not to ask him personal questions or open up too quickly to him. Maintain the mysterious partner vibe to pick his interest. So yes, the questions you might ask him to know more about him might turn out to be bad for you as he would guess you want something from him.
To catch his attention without being too curious, make meaningful, deep, and insightful conversations with him. Be patient with him, open up but do so slowly to still maintain incognito and look mysterious.
Do not rush them
Scorpio men are not people who you should rush to get intimate with their personal information, no matter how charming they are. They do not like being rushed into things, especially if the idea of getting rushed is not theirs. Try giving them time and space; let them be the ones coming to you so they can get to know you.
Also, do not rush to get intimate; connect emotionally before bedding. Give them space to think about your requests.
Do not try making him jealous, ever!
If you pull out the jealousy card, trust a Scorpio to lose interest. So if you think flirting with someone in front of him would make him pick interest in you, then you are greatly wrong because he would think of you as a very disloyal partner. Scorpios thrive on trust, so your loyalty to them should be full as theirs to you is full.
The men in this sign are highly protective and can also be very hot-tempered, so be careful when you think of making them jealous.
Treat him special
If you are planning to date or are already dating a Scorpio man, never relate with him in the same way you relate with others. Make him feel special; who does not like to feel special? They are like big babies, so always pay more attention to them when they are around. They expect your attention and focus to be on them. This is more crucial when you guys are in a group; always give him special treatment. He will appreciate you for that.
Also, if you want to catch his fancy, compliment him when he does something nice or funny, no matter how simple. He would see you as a keeper; best believe it!
Never criticize him
Even when you try making a joke, Scorpios do not take criticism really well. If you want to make fun of him, ensure you do not repeat it.
Don’t surprise him
Take, for instance, if you want to throw a surprise birthday party for your Scorpio mate; just be assured that there is a high probability that he is already onto your plans. Naturally, these men are suspicious. They might not have an idea of your plans, but most definitely, they will feel a hunch.
Be honest with him
If there is one thing your Scorpio partner will appreciate you for, it will be your honesty. This is an important factor in your relationship that would further strengthen your bond and build more trust between you. Never think it best to keep certain things from him; open up to him once you are sure that your trust has been fully formed. If you lie to him, genuinely apologize to him.
Don’t always be available
Just as he is mysterious, be the same also. Make him yearn to know you more.
Don’t be afraid to make the first move
Naturally, a Scorpio man can approach you, but it would be more captivating for him seeing you make the first move.
Give him his space
Scorpios like their space to think and breathe; they do not wrap up much around them. They would appreciate it if you allowed them a little space when they require it to recollect their thoughts.
Sex with the Scorpio Man
Scorpio men are highly sexual beings and cannot get enough of it. But one thing is certain, they do not have sex for fun or just as a casual thing. They are searching for a real and committed partner who they can show their secrets and explore with. They are extremely physical signs and are one of the best bedders of the zodiac.
To seduce a Scorpio man, just be vulnerable with him. Show him you are not as tough as he is, and he will slowly warm up to you.
