According to the Chinese zodiac, the relationship in which the man is a Rooster and the woman a Monkey, benefits from intense attraction in the beginning, but it doesn’t take her too long to end up being disappointed about the fact that he doesn’t have a rich imagination. More than this, she may think that he’s too conservative.

While the Rooster man wants to be in the centre of the Monkey woman’s attention, she’s the independent type and can’t stand still for one moment. He can’t understand her, and if he becomes controlling, she decides immediately to leave him.
The Chinese zodiac says these Rooster man and Monkey woman can’t be good companions, even if they seem to get along very well as partners. This is perhaps because when in love with one another, they can no longer see each other’s negative traits.
However, if they want to be a healthy couple, they need to work very hard at their relationship. It’s good they don’t have to worry about their intellectual connection as this seem to work very well between them.
The Rooster man will give his best to not nag the Money woman because if he doesn’t, she will leave him. At the same time, she needs to be more devoted to him and responsible.
He may be too demanding because he wants nothing but perfection. Besides, he has the tendency to take care of every little detail in any situation, not to mention he wants to make the world a better place.
The Monkey woman is loud and very domineering. She likes taking risks and being in the centre of attention. They both may try to be controlling, with each having things done in his or her own way.
At a first glance, they may seem so different that their relationship looks impossible. However, opposites attract, so this rule may apply to them too. Their relationship is at least strange, especially when they’re together out in the world.
The Rooster man likes going out and being flattered by friends just as much as his Monkey lady does. When dating, they will have a very blissful period in the beginning, but in the end, the Rooster man will ask her to change.
He will tell her to stop partying, to pay more attention to her health, to be more around their home and to go to bed early. He nature is to be curious and restless, so she won’t like all this, which means she will want to break up with him sooner than later.
What she will do is start seeing him less and less. It can be said the Monkey woman is not the best partner for the Rooster man, even if both are very intelligent and witty.
Two domineering personalities
He uses his intelligence to be more productive, whereas she’s only plotting schemes and tries to have fun. Besides, the Monkey woman doesn’t hesitate to manipulate others either, so the honest and direct Rooster man doesn’t like what she’s doing at all.
At the same time, the Monkey woman has a problem with making commitments, not to mention she has way too many exes, as she’s very romantic and falls in love in a moment.
She often loses her interest in her partner when another man catches her eye. At least she really knows how to sell her talents, so she can make a living if she’s the more practical type.
The Rooster man can be annoyed by the Monkey woman in many different ways. She will find it strange that he can’t understand her at all. In order for him to keep her interest, he needs to be more playful and to have hope that their relationship can work.
If the Monkey woman and Rooster man are married, he may be too nagging and criticizing with her. In the bedroom, they will both try to dominate and are very demanding. All in all, the relationship between a Monkey woman and a Rooster man can be very tough, especially since she thinks he doesn’t know how to have fun like she does.
