Rooster and Monkey Compatibility
The Rooster and Monkey have such different sensibilities that a smooth relationship between these two would be almost an anomaly. First off, both signs insist on being in control, but in quite different ways. The Rooster claims its dominion by nagging others into perfection. The Rooster sees the world in terms of details, all of which could stand some improvement. The Monkey, on the other hand, claims its position on top by being the loudest, taking the biggest risks and generally making itself very noticeable. The Rooster is likely to find the Monkey’s excesses to be just that — excessive — and the Monkey is likely to find the Rooster to be not much fun.
If you are a Rooster, you have many talents. You are very intelligent and observant, and you are fearless and confident. You have a sharp tongue, and you don’t waste time: you can be brutally honest. You are quite good at finding outfits that flatter your body type perfectly, and you always cut a dashing figure. You have no problem getting all eyes on you when you walk into a room.
You are not spontaneous. It’s not that you don’t enjoy a good time, but you are always busy and prefer to schedule your fun well in advance of the actual date. You are a practical and productive person, and like to use every minute efficiently. Because of this, you are always busy and have to turn down potential dates often. This can discourage women who think that you are blowing them off.
You like to work hard and honestly, and you do not really approve of tricks, pranks or games. If someone is late for an appointment with you or misses a date, it is likely that you will cut her off completely. Your time is precious to you and you do not tolerate people who waste it. You often feel the need to help those around you arrange and schedule their lives as well as your own, which can be an annoyance. You are only trying to help, however.
Monkeys do not make the best partners for you. Although you are both clever and quick witted, you use your intelligence to be efficient and productive, while the Monkey uses his to plot schemes and trick everyone else for her amusement. Monkeys do not hesitate to use their talent at rhetoric to manipulate people into doing their will. Since you are honest and forthright, you do not approve of such trickery.

Rooster and Monkey Love Compatibility
As lovers, these two are a rather unlikely pair. They may connect in some social forum, as the Rooster likes to go out on the town and definitely responds to flattery; however, the honeymoon period for these two will probably be short-lived. Soon the Rooster will be nagging at the Monkey to stop partying so much, stop neglecting its health, stay in and get to bed early — and pick up its socks while it’s at it! The Monkey, a naturally curious and gregarious sign, may start spending less and less time with the Rooster if the Rooster gives in to this kind of behavior. For the Rooster, nagging is hard to resist in general, but will be especially so with the Monkey, a sign that the Rooster sees as vastly in need of improvement.
Rooster Woman and Monkey Man Compatibility
The Monkey man may become irritating to the Rooster woman, who prefers to keep up with a strict schedule without being as flexible and open as the Monkey man is. The Monkey man enjoys spending time with new groups of people and indulging in new social adventures and outings for both fun and social gain. Because of the manipulative ways of the Monkey man, this may instantly turn the Rooster woman away, as she prefers to be up front, honest, and direct in all situations.
Rooster Man and Monkey Woman Compatibility
A Rooster man is very practical and enjoys structure in his life according to Chinese astrology and when dating, whereas a Monkey woman enjoys being the center of attention and exploring new realms and social settings in life. Monkey women in Shengxiao are often more flirtatious about life and meeting new people, and have a difficult time committing. The fear of commitment from a Monkey woman may send a red flag to the Rooster man, who is looking for stability and enjoys abiding by the rules at all times. The match is not always ideal, as the pair clash on a multitude of levels, sometimes, even when they are dating and involved in a sex fueled relationship.
