Most effective on men- Flattery or Jealousy?

Question

(I'm speaking in general terms and only using astrology because my boyfriend's and my characters match our signs perfectly. Please do not reply it depends on the person not the sign under which hes born).....

I'm a Pisces who has been dating a Leo (he's the outgoing & competitive one and I'm more quiet & sensitive)... Recently, he said that he wants to cool things down a bit so he can focus on his athletic career. I guess I'm interfering with his "focus." He's gone from calling me several times a day and whining about how much he misses me (we're doing the long distance thing) to just checking in for a little while every other night without much affection at all. I know he's not cheating. He said he's not and he's the most honest person I've ever me. But I can't help but feel he is fading out of my life. How do I bring him around to treating me better without breaking his "focus?" Leos love flattery and grand gestures, so would a love letter work? Or, would he respond better to the idea that he might be losing me/ that someone might win me over while hes focused on something else? He's a typical jealous Leo type. What works best to motivate a Leo to better appreciate his girlfriend- flattery or jealousy?

Answer 1

Flattery makes them overconfident and inflates their ego most of the time



Whereas jealously will get them all worked up into this competitive state to prove something



If you really want to to motivate a man to do something then probably jealously would work best

men are competitive by nature anyways lol

Answer 2

I think the word is senuious face. Since youse up bring me a beer! lol Flatter can get you a long ways with the ladies but I believe over flattery is a sure sign that you have something up your sleeve. A sign that your trying way to hard. I'm thinking when they use that term it means that you have features that highlight your feelings or emoyions. such as soft eyes, smooth skin, charactered cheek bones and such. I think everybody needs a little flattery now and thing to make them feel good about themselves. However it's like sugar and syrup, too much can be a bad thing as it becomes less meaningful when someone says it!

flattery,works for me!

Not for every bloke i spose.

things like, - Your,good looking,sexy,got a massive ...k,!

Jealousy,no, would just make me feel like i don`t want to be in a competion,i don`t want to get into a argument,it would be--- if you want him ,then have him.
