He Doesn’t Take Responsibility

What attracts a Pisces man most is a woman who is nurturing and also willing to take charge because he is not. A Pisces man is like a child at heart. He can be naïve, innocent and optimistic.

He Avoids Accountability

Pisces men are imaginative and creative. Often, he uses this imaginative tendency to create worst-case-scenarios in his mind. One of the reasons he avoids accountability is so that he doesn’t have to face criticism if his plans fail.

Pisces men are so likely to self-sabotage, they will envision others pointing fingers at them and criticizing an idea or decision if it makes anyone unhappy or leads to any unintended consequences. He fears this criticism.

Rather than taking initiative and suggesting something that, in his imagination, will make others become unhappy with him, he would rather not be accountable. Even if it means letting other people take control of his life.

Accountability requires risk and a Pisces man doesn’t want to take any risks that could result in others being unhappy with him. He won’t give you any reason to criticize him as well. He will avoid being in a situation where he’s held accountable.

This way, he can continue to be a people-pleaser and focus on preserving an image of being neutral and peaceful. He never wants to rock the boat.

If you ask him at first what he wants to do, he will initially try to turn the question around on you. He’ll say he wants to do whatever you want to do. This can go back and forth for hours. If you ask if he’s got a preference, he’ll try to find out your preference first.

This way, he can avoid being accountable. If he didn’t choose the restaurant, he won’t feel guilty if the food isn’t up to par. If he didn’t choose the movie, he won’t feel bad if the movie you go see on a date isn’t good.

A Pisces man needs to feel like he’s not going to be burdened by the responsibility of making the “wrong” decision. He would rather let you take accountability because he won’t hold it against you if things don’t work out.

He Can’t Control His Emotions

If you’re wondering what to do when a Pisces man backs off, it’s best to give him some space. But then you would be better off reaching out to him. He wants you to take charge.

Not only do Pisces men not like to take control in the relationship, they also have a very difficult time controlling anything, including their own emotions. Their emotions are often like a rollercoaster.

A Pisces man often feels like he’s being overwhelmed with tidal wave emotions. He can become completely consumed by his feelings. A Pisces man is not likely to know how to subdue or control his feelings.

Since he has so much trouble controlling his emotions, the last thing he will try to do is exert control over you. He won’t try to control the relationship because he’s too busy trying to not be overwhelmed by his intense feelings.

Always let a Pisces man chase you. This gives him a chance to feel empowered in the relationship. He will need some outlets for his passion and emotional energy in the relationship.

He Doesn’t Practice Self-Control

Another reason Pisces men don’t like to be in charge is because they don’t easily take control of what should come easiest- their own lives. Pisces men have almost no self-control.

They lose themselves in every impulse and infatuation, from romance to substance use. Pisces love to seek pleasure and they don’t know how to moderate themselves. If something makes them feel good, they always want more.

This can make them prone to addictions to food, substances, and certain activities. Pisces men can also be prone to becoming so enamored with a love interest that they lose sight of what they need to do in their practical lives.

They will become completely distracted and obsessed with the relationship. A Pisces man doesn’t know how to put the brakes on. He goes full speed ahead into chasing what he desires.

A Pisces man doesn’t know how to moderate himself. He tries to only do what he loves and ignores boring or tedious tasks or chores. This may seem immature, but a Pisces man will simply ignore reality if he doesn’t like what is going on.

He’s a master at retreating into fantasy. Some call him the Escape Artist of the signs. He avoids having to take control by simply ignoring anything he doesn’t like. He’ll also leave the mundane tasks up to someone else.

Because he’s so kind and compassionate in other ways, a Pisces man will also easily find people who enable him to continue to dodge responsibility in the relationship.
