Pisces men, born from February 19 to March 20, are intuitive and sensitive empaths. Because of these unique traits, they’re on the lookout for particular characteristics in a partner.
Here are 16 of them:
1) Honesty and sincerity
Any zodiac sign would like to have an honest and sincere partner. But for Pisces men, this is a premium.
“Honesty means to hold to one’s integrity, principles, beliefs, actions, and intentions. Honesty includes clearly communicating needs and goals to your partner.”
It’s a non-negotiable, and it’s a trait that makes them obsessed with their paramours.
Being blunt persons themselves, Pisceans find women with integrity very attractive.
“A Pisces demands full honesty and gives the same in return,” explains one report.
Pisceans respect their authenticity. These people, after all, are sincere to themselves. They won’t fake everything up to keep with their partners.
Add to that, they won’t hesitate to tell what’s wrong, no matter how uncomfortable it might be.
True enough, Pisces appreciate the trustworthiness of honest women. They know they can confidently tell everything to them without worrying about anything coming out.
Unsurprisingly, this candid honesty is what makes a Pisces man fall deeply in love with his partner.
2) Compassion and empathy
Pisces men are some of the kindest men on the planet.
They’re known to be “deep feelers… full of compassion and empathy for their fellow human beings.”
As empaths, they’re very sensitive.
They’re known to wear their hearts on their sleeves, making them good at dispensing advice.
According to author Kerry Ward of Cosmopolitan:
“(Pisces) just “gets” how you feel. They never judge, and they listen endlessly. They are a deep well of human emotion and act like they’ve seen it all before.”
This is one of the reasons why Pisces men thrive in caring careers such as that of psychologists, social workers, or nurses.
Being the ultimate carer, they want a partner who’s just as thoughtful and understanding.
Having compassion will not only make you attractive to your Pisces man – it’s good for your health as well.
Some benefits of compassion include:
- Enhanced emotional well-being
- Increased positive emotions
- More ‘social’ behavior
- A healthier immune system, especially during times of stress
To enjoy these benefits, psychologist Diana Hill recommends doing any of the following:
- Soothing rhythm breathing
- Loving-kindness meditation
- Visualization practice
- Sleep meditation
- Journaling
3) Poise and calmness
Some women can’t help but feel anxious about their relationships – no matter how good it might be.
They end up developing intrusive thoughts, such as:
- Will the relationship last?
- Is my partner cheating on me?
- Is he the right one for me?
And while “relationship anxiety is extremely common,” as per psychotherapist Astrid Robinson, it can be a turn-off for Pisces men.
That’s because they want their partners to be calm, collected, and full of poise.
It is challenging to stay calm at times, but it’s possible – at least according to Dr. Carrie Barron.
It’s just a matter of doing these six things:
- Immerse yourself in a yoga or meditation class.
- Think about calming images.
- Listen to peaceful music.
- Lower the bar on things.
- Organize your clutter.
- Take naps every now and then!
4) Generosity and unselfishness
Pisces men are generous when it comes to love – often, to a fault. It’s his way of telling you that he doesn’t want anyone else to have you.
They will give everything to their partners, even if little or none is left to themselves.
Pisces men get easily turned off by self-interest, mainly due to their unselfish nature.
So if you have a Piscean on your hands, it’s a must to return the favor. Not because they’re giving – but because their kind heart deserves it.
Mind you, generosity is not only about charitable pursuits.
When it comes to relationships, you can show your generosity by doing any of the following:
- Compliment your Pisces man.
- Give something without expecting anything in return.
- Let him have the last bite of food.
- Ask him to pick the film for movie night.
- Prep his stuff for work.
- Make food for him.
- Do something for him, especially if he has a lot on his plate.
- Help his friend.
- Do the ‘position’ he has been bugging you to do ever since!
5) Creativity and artistry
Being intuitive and creative, Pisces is heralded as the most creative sign.
Being the last sign of the zodiac, they have the essence of each sign in them.
Ruled by the planet of fantasy – Neptune – Pisceans have a headful of ideas that they’ll execute by hook or crook.
“Blessed with a natural-born empathy, interest in human nature, creativity, and massive imagination, Pisceans are nearly always drawn towards the arts in some way,” explains Ward.
While this creativity gets them to places, it does come with some disadvantages.
“The double edge of their ability to create new realms is that they can have trouble living in the real world and may create illusions to protect themselves from it,” adds Ward.
Expectedly, Pisceans can’t help but be drawn to partners who are just as artistic.
Thanks to Neptune – the planet of dance – they’re attracted to dancers. They can bop well, and they’d like to be with someone who could shake a leg with them.
Pisces men also gravitate towards writers, for they too are prolific writers. For them, it’s a form of self-expression that’s easier to control.
They often find artistic talent in their fellow fish, although they’re sure to find creativity in Sagittarius partners as well.
6) Adaptability and flexibility
Being a mutable sign, Pisces is generally flexible. As per astrologer Rachel Lang:
“Pisces make great chameleons who can get along with a wide variety of people and find a way to flow with whatever life brings to them.”
According to experts, this psychological flexibility is a must-have trait – which is no surprise why Pisceans want it in their partners.
Author Karyn Hall, Ph.D., describes flexibility as “responding in a healthy way to different situations and people, and doing so in a way that fits with your personal values.”
This desire for flexibility makes Pisces incompatible with rigid signs such as Leo. The Lion, for one, doesn’t care if they become unpopular because of their stubbornness.
The same goes for Aquarius, which is another bullheaded sign. You can blame it on their righteous conviction – and their desire to enact change.
The signs aside, these tips should help be more flexible in your Pisces guy’s eyes:
- Be open with your feelings.
- Rein in your emotions – and express yourself entirely only when appropriate.
- Be able to “follow a routine when that’s helpful and not follow it when it’s not helpful.”
Remember: flexibility is not only great for relationships – for it can help you deal with stress – and improve your well-being too.
7) A fellow romantic
Pisces men have all the qualities you can find in true romantics. They’re sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate.
They’re not like the modern lovers of today.
According to Ward, “they would prefer a more traditional age, being courted and wooed; one where our more base behaviors were perhaps easier hidden away.”
They believe in the notion of soulmates and that they’re bound to come into their life soon.
They’re going to give their all, and they expect their paramours to do the same.
Intuitive lover
If you’re with a Pisces man, then you may notice his intuitive love – often bordering on psychic. Even if you don’t say anything, they know what you feel. They’re masters of emotions, after all.
Lying won’t sway them, either. As mentioned, they like honesty – so they’d appreciate it more if you were truthful to them.
This intuitive love makes Pisces a perfect partner for the equally emotional Scorpio. They have strong perception and observation skills, which the fish desires in his partner.
Selfless lover
As mentioned, Pisces men are highly generous. They’ll give their all – even if it means leaving nothing else for themselves.
This selflessness is one of the reasons why they click with Cancer. They’re just as compassionate, which means they’d rather comfort other people than pay attention to themselves.
While this selflessness is the epitome of romance, it leaves them vulnerable to hurt. As their partner, you need to stay loyal and honest with them. Should you do the opposite, don’t be surprised if they start to look the other way.
8) A strong emotional connection
Pisces men are highly emotional beings. They feel a lot – and too much – and they can’t stop it.
While some women may find this dramatic, it’s actually a good thing.
Because they’re in tune with their emotions, they get to appreciate every part of it. They take the time to feel, just like Cancer (which is Pisces’ most compatible partner, by the way.)
That said, Pisces men like women who can emotionally connect with them.
An emotional connection is what experts describe as “a bundle of subjective feelings that come together to create a bond between two people.”
In other words, it’s a set of connections that you share with your partner.
This emotional link goes beyond what Pisces guys want in a relationship – it’s a crucial element for any partnership, after all.
As one report has stated:
“Without a strong emotional connection, (the relationship) is doomed to frustrate one or both partners and ultimately fail.”
So how do you build a foolproof emotional connection with your Pisces man? For starters, it’s a matter of following these nine nuggets of advice:
- Learn as much as you can about each other.
- Trust your partner. Let him into your sanctum of thoughts and secrets.
- Communicate thoughtfully – and caringly.
- Be emotionally available.
- Always show your affection.
- Be vulnerable with him.
- Put yourself in his shoes.
- Try to overcome relationship obstacles together.
- Fight fair!
9) Inner beauty
Make no mistake – Pisces men are drawn to physical beauty.
- They love women with great eyes, for they believe that a great mystery lies in them.
- They appreciate a megawatt smile – even a flirtatious one.
- They love cleanliness and tidiness, for both make a good impression. That’s why they prefer women with simple makeup rather than over-the-top ones.
- They’re not into too-tight clothing too. As long as you wear something that compliments your body, they’ll like them.
What sets Pisces apart from the other signs is that they know how to look beyond these features. As die-hard romantics, they know that inner beauty is more important.
So what is inner beauty, anyway?
According to author Jazmin Green:
“Inner beauty relates to an individual’s personality and character traits, which are pleasing to the heart.”
Qualities such as kindness and truthfulness – which are what Pisces men want in women – are said to constitute inner beauty.
Pisces men can’t help but get attracted to their partner’s personality.
Beauty lies within the eye of the beholder, after all.
So if you want to keep your Piscean hunk on lockdown, make sure to emanate your inner beauty!
As Green puts it:
“Your character can even change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are. If an individual is socially confident and optimistic, it certainly makes them more attractive.”
10) The courage to make the first move
Pisces men are often timid. They may be hesitant to make the first move. And if they do so, they’ll drag the courting process for as long as they can.
If you want to keep a Pisces man on the hook, then you shouldn’t be shy to make the first move. Yes, only 1 in 10 women are willing to initiate – but that shouldn’t deter you.
You need to show that you’re a strong, independent woman.
Don’t worry, for it’s not a gamble. Research suggests that “more men preferred to be asked out (16 percent) than there were women who preferred to do the asking (6 percent.)”
Your Pisces date is a part of this 16% – and he will surely love your confidence!
If you haven’t tried making the first move yet, here are some tips from the ladies who have actually done it:
- Go into it without expecting anything.
- Exude confidence.
- Ask for his number – and text him!
- Invite him to hang out sometime.
- Do it quickly.
- Pay close attention to how they respond to you.
Remember, once you get him under lock and key – he’s yours – often for good. Pisces is one of the most loyal signs, after all.
11) Appreciation of his efforts
Pisceans are very passionate about everything they do. They will try their hardest, even if it means failing in the end.
As artistic people, Pisces men will try to dabble with writing, drawing, or acting – even if it doesn’t bode well with them.
Pisceans have a strong mindset – they will go on with their tasks even if they seem impossible.
Even if they fail repeatedly, they won’t mind. That’s why they want a partner who can appreciate their efforts.
They need someone who will support them despite their numerous failures.
If you want your relationship with a Pisces man to last, you need to be emotionally supportive.
In other words, you need to be ready to “offer genuine encouragement, reassurance, and compassion.”
You can show your emotional support by:
- Asking – and listening to what your Pisces man has to say.
- Validating your partner’s feelings.
- NOT judging your significant other.
- Fighting the urge to ‘belittle’ his problems.
- NOT dispensing advice – unless he asks for it.
- Making a nice gesture, such as doing one of his house chores.
- Building him up.
- Supporting his endeavors.
- Showing physical affection – a hug or kiss, perhaps?
- Proposing a ‘distracting’ activity.
- Checking in from time to time – it’s a foolproof way for a Pisces man to like you!
12) Respect for his ‘me’ time
As empaths, Pisces men need to have some ‘alone time’ now and then. This allows them to recharge after a day of ‘too much caring.’
They tend to absorb other people’s energies, after all.
Such is also the case in romantic relationships. They can end up channeling their partner’s bad vibes, which can make them exhausted or anxious at the end of the day.
“Fulfilled, happy, and whole people make good partners. And sometimes, to feel that way, we need some opportunity to be with ourselves emotionally or…physically,” explained psychologist Cicely Horsham-Braithwaite, Ph.D.
That’s why they’re looking for a partner who can respect their need for solitude.
It’s a matter of respecting these five reasons why your Pisces needs to be alone sometimes:
- He loves having his personal space.
- He enjoys being alone – just having himself as company.
- He’s kind of an introvert, and his alone time should help recharge his social batteries.
- His alone time allows him to reflect.
- He’s willing to help, and he’ll gladly do it without expecting anything in return.
13) Consideration for his personality shifts
More often than not, Pisces’ emotions get the best of him.
Hey may be happy now, but he can get mad in the next minute.
They often end up restless, if not flighty.
They tend to flip-flop, being the mutable sign that they are.
Because of this, Pisceans often get the reputation of being bipolar.
Their emotions can end up affecting their decisions as well.
“Pisces can be the ultimate shapeshifter and chameleon, making it very difficult to decide on just about everything,” explains astrologer Rebecca Farrar.
They find it hard to decide over one thing, for they may be afraid of the consequences – whether they’re good or bad.
Their indecision may be due to their fear of being judged as well.
As your Pisces man won’t be deciding straight soon, you may need to nudge him towards the right direction every now and then. You need to tap into his intuition, which will help him make a solid decision – no ifs and buts.
14) Willingness to try unique experiences
Pisceans are passionate people who are always up for adventures. From spontaneous trips to new cuisines, they’re down to trying them all.
Naturally, they’re looking for someone who has the same kind of daring spirit.
That’s why they click with the cardinal signs of Cancer and Capricorn. Both are down to engage in new activities and adventures, just like Pisces.
If you’re a little hesitant to explore, here are four things you need to know about trying new things:
- You get to know yourself better – so you grow more as a person.
- It helps you overcome fear – and summon the courage you’ve had all along.
- It makes life more enjoyable (and less tedious.)
- It can end up introducing you to a new life or career path!
If you’re more than ready to try unique experiences with your Pisces beau, here are three things worth considering:
- Learning a new sport, such as wakeboarding.
- Traveling to an exotic place.
- Starting a new side hustle. Why not put your hobbies to profitable use?
15) Lots of imagination – especially when it comes to sex
When it comes to sex, Pisces men can bring the best of both worlds: romance and creativity.
As per numerologist Sidhharrth S Kumaar:
“Their imagination in bed is what excites their partners, and their way of making their way through the process is so romantic that they entice their partners.”
Their romantic ways make them great seducers. Their empathy, compassion, and emotional intimacy will make you blush (and remove your clothes.)
Thanks to his wild imagination, you WILL find yourself enjoying a novel sexual experience.
They’re very creative people, after all. It’s something they’ll take to sack, so you don’t have to worry about being disappointed.
In a nutshell, sex with him is nothing short of a magical experience. They’re mystical beings – a characteristic that will be discussed next.
16) Belief in spirituality – or mysticism
Pisces believe in the spiritual, mystical, even the occult. They’re psychics, which may explain why they’re great empaths.
Don’t be surprised if you see your Pisces man getting tarot readings or wafting sage – it’s the way they channel their mysticism.
Being with a Piscean doesn’t necessarily mean going with all his mystic activities.
More often than not, it’s enough for you to acknowledge spirituality itself.
According to Dr. Maya Spencer of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, spirituality is:
“A feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.”
Spirituality can help you explore the universal themes such as love, compassion, and altruism – just three of many traits that Pisces men adore in women.
A belief in spirituality will benefit more than just your relationship, though. There are a lot of benefits to falling in love with a spiritual man!
For one, you get to feel more comfortable with them. They can make you feel good about yourself as well.
Spirituality has several personal benefits too. It can help improve your well-being, which is the state of being happy, comfortable, and healthy.
Your spirituality can help answer ‘unanswerable questions,’ such as that of your mundane existence. With a strong belief in the beyond, you get to understand that you’re part of a purposeful unfolding of life.
Keeping Your Pisces Man on Hook
Say that you have everything a Pisces man can need – and more. So how do you keep him locked into you – and only you?
While loyalty is no issue with Pisces, it wouldn’t hurt to do these things that’ll make him crazy over you.
Be confident
Nothing turns a Pisces man more than a strong, confident woman.
Confidence can make your personality and inner beauty shine.
Being confident means knowing your stuff and keeping your head high despite the challenges.
Simply put, it’s all about doing you.
With this attractive confidence, don’t be surprised if your Pisces man chases you for miles!
Don’t be afraid to speak up
While Pisceans are shy at first, they’re more than willing to converse with their partners.
As mentioned, Pisces men love honesty. By speaking up to them and telling the truth – you get to show your sincerity.
Be mysterious
Pisceans are generally honest. However, they live by the quote, “Attraction is only intense when mystery is involved.”
As the fish sign, they like exploring the depths of their relationships.
They love exploring and decoding the mysteries in front of them. If you want to keep your Pisces man hooked, then you need to retain some mystery in your relationship.
Don’t divulge all – let him work for it.
Pamper him
Pisceans are generous people who are willing to make considerable efforts – and they don’t expect anything in return!
That said, it wouldn’t hurt to pamper him as a way of saying thank you.
It doesn’t necessarily have to involve some luxurious pampering. Cooking his favorite food or writing little love notes are more than enough to make him happy.
In fact, these thoughtful actions may prod him to go on overdrive.
Don’t be surprised if you receive a bouquet or two – it’s his way of acknowledging your efforts, no matter how small.
