When it comes to bedroom activities, a Scorpio woman will likely be very energetic and will need a man who can keep up with her and satisfy her needs.

- How to attract a Scorpio woman: Actively listen when she talks to you. Put away your phone and get rid of distractions, maintain eye contact, and ask her questions to show her that you’re engaged in the conversation.
-
11Honesty A Scorpio woman likely won’t be afraid to speak her mind. She’ll often be very direct with her words and won’t sugarcoat things just to spare others’ feelings. Therefore, she’ll likely want a man who can be just as honest and upfront with her since she very much values direct and clear communication. [7] X Research source
- How to attract a Scorpio woman: Be honest when talking about your experiences. Even if something displeases you, a Scorpio woman will likely take your honesty as a compliment rather than being offended.

12Patience It can take some time for a Scorpio woman to open up, and she might be very stubborn in keeping things to herself due to her nature as a fixed sign. Along with that, she can quickly shift between moods, being affectionate one moment and distant the next. Because of this, she’ll likely look for a man who can be patient with her and will be understanding instead of getting frustrated by her changes in emotions. [8] X Research source
- How to attract a Scorpio woman: Let her open up to you on her own time. Avoid asking her lots of invasive questions and instead, bond over your shared interests and passions.
- Be receptive to her needs. A Scorpio woman might enjoy spending time alone to be with her thoughts, so don’t fight her on that and let her do her own thing.
