Perhaps there exists no man more severe and strict in his belief systems and behaviors than Scorpio male. The term "small minded" was probably coined from the Scorpio man. His focus is quite narrow and he has no problem whatsoever putting his own needs above any and all responsibilities he may have. He's unnerving and intimidating to many, to say the least.

Scorpio female will grab her pick axe and dig into someones head. The Scorpio male will grab his pick axe and dig into someones business. He's a probing character. Scorpio men are drawn to mysteries and investigation. He likes to scratch well beneath the surface of every situation. The thought running through Scorpio males head while doing so is most likely, "Hmm, there's definitely more to this story."

Scorpio male will view any and all situations contemplating every possible pitfall or negative outcome. No stone goes unturned. Scorpio men have a "default" setting. In the same manner that you can restore your settings on a computer, if you pushed a Scorpio males reset button, he would return to a state of pessimism, nihilism. This harshly angled view helps Scorpio men to avoid being duped by any phony appearances and allows him time to get to the heart of the matter.

Scorpio male takes this same approach to love and relationships. He's reluctant to invest anything, so he waits, he studies, he listens, he probes. He waits to see a woman's "light" if you will. He falls for the sunshine and kisses type of woman. A woman with a clear and infinite inner beauty. A woman with that sunshiny impression of life - to balance his "glass half empty" perception. When he finds her, that's when the real work begins.

Scorpio Male Will Lavish His Lover With Attention

The sign of Scorpio is all about exploration. Scorpio male is all about the exploration of self. This man doesn't run from his fears, he faces them. Indeed, he calls them on. Scorpio male likes to root things out and he cannot - and will not - trust anyone whom he feels is hiding something. Instead, he'll embark on his signature exploration and he'll get to the heart of the matter, that you can guarantee. As a result, initially, he tends not to trust anyone, women included.

Scorpio male can "sting" and he's very aware of this tactic as he's quite perfected it. But you see, there's a certain intelligence to this method.

You see, most times, Scorpio male has sustained some sort of damage emotionally, whether on the home front in childhood or more interestingly, from premature sexual experiences.

Scorpio men don't seek to make their mark. Instead, they seek to erase the marks that have been impressed upon them. From the Scorpio male perspective, life starts out on a damaged note and he is constantly striving to end it on a positive one. As a female, if you can withstand Scorpio males "brain mining" and investigative tactics early on and you prove to be trustworthy to him - you may have found a deep poet of sorts that will view life as - and YOU - as "living art."

Don't understand yet? No problem, here's an example of the consummate Scorpio male. In the movie, "American Beauty" there's a young male character that is a neighbor boy, named Ricky Fitts. Ricky likes to view the nature of life from that signature Scorpio male "narrow lens" - video camera lens, that is. His favorite example of his art was a flick he created which was simply a plastic bag blowing silently in the wind. Lifting up and down, shifting left to right, rising to the sky only to be dropped back down to the dirty street again. Ricky watched that art piece in awe, almost moved to tears. It represented the nature of life to him captured on film.

That, my friends, is the mind of a Scorpio man ~ a very deep, dark poet. To some, he's intimidating and somewhat frightening if he's misunderstood by them. Scorpio male is the type that you may take two steps to the right of if passing him on the streets, yet you don't know why, you just feel it. You feel that steamy, hot air that he's breathing into the shadows. You feel him watching you, studying you, thinking about you.

When you get that tingly feeling on your skin like someone is watching you, chances are when you turn around ~ you'll find a Scorpio man standing there in a deep trance focused on you. If I had to pick on single keyword for the Scorpio male, it would be "intense."

The Devil's Tail Portrays the Sign's Concern With Uncovering What Lies Beneath

The Sextrology astrology horoscope explains, "The M of the sign, as with Virgo, signifies Mother Earth. Scorpio has a number of associative symbols. The serpent depicts the signs exploration of the underground, the dragon a concerns for riches, the phoenix an ability to rise from life's ashes and the scorpion signals a tendency to paralyze others via control.

Males in feminine polarity signs are not aligned with the gender polarity of the sign and thus ENACT instead of EMBODY the quality. Scorpio man isn't crystallized to perfection like Scorpio woman. Instead Scorpio man is a miner for such qualities in others. He seeks to unearth anything beautiful or valuable as might be concealed from the eyes of the world."

A "look what I found" mentality.

His number is 8, the number of mystery. The Sextrology astrology horoscope explains, "The black eight ball in billiards is a signal of death, ending the game. The lucky eight ball toy is a reveler of secret answers. The number 8 is the symbol of infinity. Not death, but transformation and regeneration. It depicts a spiral forever turning on itself."

Inner resources are uncovered as a source of happiness. His psychology is one that suffers from suspicions. Scorpio men are intrusive and confrontational and can be bullying types in youth. Teasing can become outright abuse. He may even suffer from obsessive-compulsive behavior and can be particularly focused on money with a stingy streak.

Scorpio Male's Very Presence is Buzzing With Sexuality

Scorpio men are erotically charged. He's, most likely, been objectified and over-sexualized at a young age. The loner routine really works for the Scorpio male and it enables him to draw to himself women who play into his "hurt" and "deep" routine. He makes quick, pointed connections, mindful to shake the hand. He avoids the masses and only makes social appearances when he is pressed to do so.

Many Scorpio Males Act Out in Youth

Feeling damned to shame and isolation in youth, most Scorpio men act out early in life in destructive ways. Scorpio men go through some compulsion or addiction early on whether it be drugs, sex, food, rage or marathon games of Dungeons & Dragons. Being a "bad seed" he finds has it's perks with the ladies. It piques the curiosity of women who expect nothing more from him than sex, providing him with no-strings release while he continues to search for his own innocent and unsuspecting woman. Salt of the earth types.

The Sextrology astrology horoscope explains, "This earns him the reputation of a predator of sorts. Indulging in this sort of anonymous sexual interaction wrongly wins him the reputation of a predator. But, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. It's simply this, until Scorpio male meets "the one," he feels he cannot afford to be distracted by imperfect relationships for fear of missing the real deal when it reveals itself. A Mars ruled chap is compelled to engage in purely sexual experiences before going back to lying in wait for love to rear its head.

So totally hands off is he with these temporary sexual partners that he is prone to do little more than unzip and be serviced, remaining utterly composed if not completely dressed. This "do-for-me" position is very Scorpion indeed, part and parcel of the infamous distance he insists on having from others."

Famous Scorpio men include Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Joaquin Phoenix, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Matthew McConaughey, Dylan McDermott, Ryan Gosling, Owen Wilson, Adam Horowitz, Charles Bronson, Neil Young, Bill Gates, Gavin Rossdale, Ike Turner, Larry King, Martin Scorsese, Pablo Picasso and Robert F.
