The Toxic Side of Dating an Aries Man

An Aries man to the rescue?

An Aries man is very ambitious, yet also reckless. His unreasonable and illogical behavior results in his acting impulsively. He is indifferent to other people’s lives.

Since Aries is the first zodiac sign, he enjoys playing a role. And while he’s at it, he’d want to save the planet and make himself seem beautiful while doing it.

However, It’s shocking to see a man who claims to be a “leader” make such poor choices. But because he resides in opposition to Libra’s seventh house of judgments, he must confront his decisions.

Anyway, how can he come to your rescue when he can’t even assist himself?

Remember, he is the infant of the zodiac. To immature and self-absorbed to really help anyone.

Why is an Aries man toxic? 

Aries Man is one of the least toxic of the 12 zodiac signs.

Nonetheless, his personality is hard to define.

You could easily mistake him for someone who’s spaced out because he’s eager to talk to everyone else but you. So, your insecurities get you thinking, “What’s wrong with him? Is he bored, tired, or not into me? 

He has friends, so why is he so quiet around you?

If and when he does respond, you’ll notice that he’ll either snap, look stoned, or regurgitate someone else’s words. Aries men and women are good at copying other people’s behavior.

An Aries man can be full of energy one moment, nonchalant the next, and then become overly aggressive, snapping at you and telling you that you’re asking too many questions. Or maybe he’s angry because he thinks you’ve acted inappropriately!

He’s always keeping a watchful eye on you, which you may be unaware of, and as a result, you may grow tired and irritable with your actions.

Aries men fall into that strange category of men who talk with a purpose and speak in a calm, open, and reflective manner. But he may be insensitive one moment and then get into heroic mode.

Although he plays the superhero, a real Aries man embodies the physical attributes of a villain or a sidekick. Maybe this is one of his downfalls. Aries men of all shapes and sizes can end up loathing the way they look and will secretly long to look like someone else.

The Best Type of Partner for an Aries Man 

Similarly, he is only attracted to what he sees (remember that Aries’ natural house is the first house, that of the image). This causes problems since Aries men are attracted to visionaries with their own ambitions and fantasies.

Aries men do not pick their romantic partners wisely (as is also the case for Aries women). Therefore, he often rushes into a relationship that has no realistic basis  because he is fickle.  

If you don’t fit into his fairy tale, he won’t see the sense in staying with you.

If you want your relationship with an Aries man to last, you’ll need to be very ‘unreal’ and docile but show a fierce side in the bedroom.

Basically, he looks for a damsel in distress.

🚩 Knight in Shining Armour 

How could anyone tire of a man who only wants to save the day for his lady/man love? Why would anyone dump or get sick of a man who buys them a castle? Who provides them with the world’s most expensive silks and rarest diamonds?

Well, eventually his partners come to loathe him, even if people close to both of you are left scratching their heads wondering what happened. People might have concluded that you were Sleeping Beauty, who had found his or her Prince Charming.

But the original Sleeping Beauty was raped by an impulsive king. The second problem is that Aries men don’t usually buy their lover’s precious jewels and the most exquisite silks. Yes, they give too much too soon and are extravagant, but the gifts are usually not what the other person wanted in the first place.

Aries typically buy gifts for themselves or to fulfill their fantasies. Aries can be very self-indulgent, and, as previously mentioned, they want to live in a fantasy world. But be wary of men who play the role of knights in shining armor! Although a man who wants to ‘rescue’ you sounds romantic, the truth can be far from idyllic.

🚩 The Victim vs. the Hero 

Being rescued or controlled by an aggressive man implies that the other person is weak and a victim. Both you and your Aries man may initially be okay with this. However, as time goes on, his partner (you) becomes negative and shows signs of autonomy. When this happens, the Aries man will want out, and so will you.

🚩What he lacks?

The love given feels fickle. You will want to be treated as an equal and be in a “real” mature relationship. However, that won’t always be on the table, and once the fairy tale is over, there is no going back.

Aries is the sign that moves forward.

He would have to have a strong Moon placement if you want him to return; otherwise, you’ll end up back where you began, laying under a canopy, waiting for another knight in shining armor to come and sweep you off your feet.

However, after your ordeal with the Aries man, you are weary of costumes. As a result, you may be less likely to wake up to another man in armor. Hopefully, you’ll reinvent the fairy tale and save the knight (Aries) from his illusions and childish fantasies!

What He Hates? 

An Aries man does not take criticism well and gets bored easily.

What scares him? 

Both male and female Aries do not want to merge with their mate. They are single-minded and see themselves as a whole person rather than two people coming together and becoming one.

So, if you say, “You complete me,” a toxic Aries man will get scared.

His biggest weapon?

The combination of being distractible and always wanting to lead. He distracts you to a point that you lose focus on your own goals, your own wants and needs. As a result, you may stay in this relationship longer than necessary. 

How to make it work with an Aries man

Although Aries men can be very timid, any person wanting to be in a relationship with them has to be thick-skinned. He won’t always be sensitive when pointing out your faults.

At first, you may overlook this, especially because the sex is likely to be good! But how long can you put up with a fantasist, narcissist, or immature man, someone who criticizes you all the time and is not giving you what you want? 

An Aries man gets very restless when he’s not in control of a situation. So, you must keep him interested. Stimulate not only his mind but also his body.
