Leo men value honesty in a relationship and want someone who they can trust, so they dislike it if their partner lies or hides the truth from them. Leos are not a fan of people who are inconsistent and unreliable, so they're looking for someone who is there for them. However, Leos also need their space and don't like when their partner is really dependent on them.
Leos are driven and ambitious, so they're always setting goals and looking ahead to the future. If a woman they're interested in doesn't have motivation and share the same mentality, it can be a red flag to a Leo. Leo men also want a woman who will support their goals and cheer them on, so acting unsupportive or passive turns them off.

Leo’s love confidence. While they love being praised, they can feel awkward and performative giving gushing compliments. If you need a ton of affirmation, Leo’s are likely to miss the mark. Being great takes up too much time to question if you are, and Leo’s have a tough time being patient with insecurity, in themselves or others!

Leo is the sign of ego and pride. So if a woman makes a Leo man feel diminished or undercut—even unintentionally—that can be a problem. They love to be hyped up. Being put in check might be tolerated once or twice, but if they constantly feel like they’re being told they could do better, it won’t go well. You have to be strategic with any constructive criticism or feedback that could be perceived as negative. You could sugarcoat it completely and be as gentle as possible, and they’d still say, “That was a little harsh.” You kind of have to care for them like you would a kid—cheering them on even if the effort wasn’t great.
