According to the Chinese zodiac, when in a relationship, the Rooster man and the Rabbit woman have different personalities, almost too different, this being the reason why they don’t work so well as a couple. The Rabbit woman is very objective and sees things from a logical point of view, whereas the Rooster man focuses too much on details and wants everything to be perfect.

| Intimacy & Sex | Doubtful | ❤ |
Even if friends, it can be difficult for these two to understand where each is coming from, so they’re doomed to have disagreements from the beginning, a long time before dating, not to mention they’re not very sexually compatible either. All this is indicating it’s very likely for them to break up at some point, if in a couple.
The Rooster man thinks the Rabbit woman is too careless, while she sees her partner as judgmental and demanding. While she can be very tolerant and gentle, the fact that she’s too shy to talk about her feelings usually has her accumulating negative feelings and ultimately doing what’s worst, like giving up on her relationship because she’s with someone who only judges her.
It doesn’t matter how much in love with one another they are, problems in their relationship are sure to appear, especially since the Rabbit woman is always the one giving more.
The Rooster man can also be generous with his love, but not all the time, as he prefers to invest his energy in something else. He’s the harshest critic she has ever known, which is something she doesn’t like at all because she hates being told that she may be wrong.
On the other hand, he’s preachy, superficial, possessive, stubborn and persistent to convince everyone he’s always right. The Rabbit woman is not at all the partner for him, as she’s emotional and has many changing moods.
He will think she’s not at all the intellectual he deserves because she relies too much on intuition and does what her heart desires, not to mention she can be quite lazy when wanting to relax, at least that’s what he thinks of her because he’s the type to never stand still and do nothing.
However, he respects her for always thinking twice before making a decision and analysing situations carefully. Since the Rabbit woman hates conflict, she would rather run away from a person than fight him or her.
High expectations
When her partner is bothering her continuously, the Rabbit woman has the tendency to be quiet and to accumulate resentment until she ultimately decided to leave him. Since the Rooster man is always telling the harsh truth to her face, she can end up being very hurt by him.
When having a conflict, she will agree to disagree, which will cause her to be even more hurt and to make the decision to break up with him sooner than later. The Rooster man wants her to have a strict schedule and to organize her budget, so she may try to do this in the beginning, only to give up after.
In other words, he has very high expectations from her and she can’t live up to them, so their connection is rather tense than loving and peaceful. Both the Rabbit woman and Rooster man will approach romance just like they do other aspects of their life, only in different ways.
While the Rooster man wants only perfection and is very proud of his achievements or who he is, the Rabbit woman pays more attention to comfort and has a much more relaxed approach to life.
