The Leo man in love
The Leo man is warm, generous and theatrical in love. He wants to be admired and gives lavishly in return — attention, gifts, public affection.
Signs a Leo man likes you
Grand gestures, showing you off to friends, and a lot of attention in public as well as private.
What puts a Leo man off
Indifference, public criticism and a partner who never acknowledges what he does for them.
The Leo man in a long relationship
In a long relationship he is warm, protective and generous, and he likes to make the relationship feel special long after the start.
In an argument, and after a breakup
His pride is bruised easily and he can be dramatic in an argument, but he forgives when he feels respected. After a breakup he wants to leave with dignity and may hide how much it hurt.
A birth chart is the same whoever holds it; these are the traditional readings of how Leo traits tend to be described in a man. Work, money and friendship for the sign are on the Leo page.

How long Mars stays in Leo, against the other signs
Tradition reads Mars for drive and pursuit, so descriptions of the Leo man lean on it. Of people born with the Sun in Leo, 15.9% have Mars there too — its most likely sign, though still a minority; Cancer (15.0%) comes next. The chart compares how long Mars lingers in each sign overall.
Leo: 10.00% of days over 89 separate visits — the second-highest of the twelve. A typical visit lasts 49 days; the longest, 8 months from October 1962, when a retrograde loop held it there. That is 0.11 percentage points behind Virgo.

How many men are Leo at all
31.3
days the Sun spends in Leo this year —
the 3rd longest of the twelve. The signs
are not equal.
8.96%
of US births in 2000–2014 were Leo — the 1st most common of the twelve signs. The source does not split births by sex.
+0.63
points against an even 8.33%. Its 31.3-day length alone
would give 8.57%; the birth calendar
adds 0.39 points.
These figures are identical for the woman — nothing in the chart responds to gender.
