SugarKiss Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I thought I was more scolding you guys, since you are adults. The thing is conversations about signs read to me exactly like: Never date a virgo, they are pompous, egotistical and brash. Never date an irishman, they are pompous, egotistical and brash (and are all drunks) Never date a Hatian, they are pompous, egotistical and brash (and could turn you into a zombie) Never date a Catholic, they are pompous, egotistical and brash (and not to be trusted around children) Never date a Muslim, they are pompous, egotistical and brash (and could explode at any moment!) You see why this is distasteful to me? Even in jest, there is an undercurrent of prejudice running through all of it, all I did was point it out. But I did apologize. If I saw a peaceful gathering of nice folks dressed in sheets and pointy hats burning crosses on the lawn, I would probably have to politely disagree as well, but as long as they're being peaceful, sure, they're just having fun. Not to one up you, but if I planted the seed of doubt in one credulous person's heart here, then it was worth it =) I used to be just like some people here. Credulous to a fault, I believed in ghosts, spirits, psychic powers, astrology and god(s). But I decided to treat this area of my life with the same intellectual rigor as all other areas. Yeah, but just because a person is smart doesn't mean they have great judgement. =) It was late, and I was bored (I don't own a TV) and itching for a good argument. Alright, fine, since I don't do astrology, can I just use other stereotypes / whole cloth fabrications? Like can I say don't date people from kansas because they're pretty dumb and teach scientology in the schools! (and they are all missing teeth where you can see it)=p Hehe, wrong, but your analysis is right. I mean, it's the same as complaining when a guy starts telling blond / sexist jokes. It's just that I don't like stereotypes. Every person is a unique individual who should be judged as such and if fans of astrology don't think so, then they better damn well know what universal force is causing distant cosmic objects to affect daily events for mammals on a tiny, meaningless world on the far edge of the outer rim of one spiral arm of the milky way. On a completely unrelated note, watch "All the king's men" Good movie, I saw it last night. Dude you take this stuff way too seriously, but it is your right to see Astrology as a form of bigotry and to choose to live your life in the way in which best represents your personal philosophies and beliefs, I respect that and you do make some valid points. some of us on the other hand will still think Virgo's are ball busters, Tauruses are flaky cheaters, and that you have to bring two of everything if you plan to date Jekyl and Hyde, Gemini. BUT if I see a hot looking Taurus with a virgo and Gemini rising approach me in a bar and we lock eyes and his talk is as hot as his game, I am so on that shiat like a chubby kid to a cheeseburger. have fun!
the_blur Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 ... I am so on that shiat like a chubby kid to a cheeseburger. have fun! Alright, having sufficiently scolded the lot of you, please go back to discovering what a person is like from the date they were born and what astronomical bodies were in which positions at the time. Just know that somewhere in the world, I have a bridge to sell you (along with hyper water, healing crystals, miracle cures and homepathic remedies) as long as you will part with your money for it. PT Barnum was right, there really is one born every minute... On a grammatical note: btw, it's not taureans, it's just tauruses, and it's not cancerians, just cancers. ie: I am a taurus, you are a cancer, she is a pisces ... Also: No one guessed my stupid sign correctly (ha!) You still have 10 signs to run through if you care to play! btw, if you think Tauruses are flaky cheaters, try Italians, or worse, redheads of any kind, they can't stay off the foreign salami. (haha!)
daphne Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Hey answer, I'm a Cap too. I would never have guessed. You've always seemed so reasonable, smart and funny to me... I don't think I've ever previously met a capricorn I liked. Aquarius, on the other hand, is a fine sign indeed Underpants.
the_blur Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 "She smiled at me today, do you think she likes me enough to go out with me? I'm not planning to ask her out or anything. Just wondering, in case she asks me out." The zodiac and horoscope selection would probably be more accurate than advice received from the above request for help... That's fine, no argument from me here Please resume your credulous bickering. I still like the "She smiled at me today, do you think she likes me enough to go out with me? I'm not planning to ask her out or anything. Just wondering, in case she asks me out." -- MUCH better =)
OpenBook Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 My take on Zodiac men (based on experience)... Capricorn men are ambitious and level-headed, but they will cheat on you. Aquarius men have grand ideas and are very sociable... but not particularly reliable or down-to-earth. Pisces men are hopelessly insecure and emotional. You'll spend your life babysitting them. Aries men are brash, pushy and can be very loud and arrogant. Taurus men are loyal, steady, stubborn, and very boring. They have the constitution (and personality) of a rock. Gemini men are fascinating people, but you can never pin them down (because they don't want to be!!), there's always at least two faces involved with them. You can't take what they say to the bank. Cancer men are shy, have a tendency to withdraw and pout, but usually possess a smoldering sensuality. Gorgeous physically. Leo men are the life of the party, they want everyone to be happy, but they're totally full of sh*t. Virgo men are very critical of others, but they're loyal and very hard workers, you can always depend on them. Libra men are... I have no idea, I don't think I've ever known a Libra man! Scorpio men are totally full of sh*t (like Leos) but in a different way. They'll wear you out in bed. But they're really stuck on themselves. Like Capricorn men, they also have a tendency to cheat. Sagittarian men are awesome! Friendly, outgoing, always in a good mood, everybody loves them and wants to be around them. Only problem is, they have the attention span of a fly. And they can be downright cruel and totally selfish.
Trialbyfire Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I would never have guessed. You've always seemed so reasonable, smart and funny to me... I don't think I've ever previously met a capricorn I liked. Haha...I'm only a Cap by birth. In reality, I'm a Sag! Hope that helps to defer some of the pain.
allina Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 We're both Taureans?? Capricorn is one of our best matches. So is Cancer and Virgo. Oh that's right, I remember your birthday being soon after mine So do you find gemini men to be awful as well or is that my personal thing, unrelated to astrology?
Touche Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Wow, you're all a bunch of Virgo-haters around here! Ok, so I'm a Virgo and Sag is supposed to be one of my least compatible signs. My ex was a Sag but....so is my H. My ex and I were like oil and water and H and I get along very well..go figure.
sunshinegirl Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Capricorn men are ambitious and level-headed, but they will cheat on you. Did you date my ex??? TBF: Haha...I'm only a Cap by birth. In reality, I'm a Sag! Hope that helps to defer some of the pain. Here's a shout-out to a fellow Sag (in spirit/reality, anyway) woman...
daphne Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 In reality, I'm a Sag! Hope that helps to defer some of the pain. ah... much better.
Star Gazer Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 So do you find gemini men to be awful as well or is that my personal thing, unrelated to astrology? Yup. Geminis and Aquarians - horrible...for us, anyway.
Trialbyfire Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 TBF:Here's a shout-out to a fellow Sag (in spirit/reality, anyway) woman... Back atcha'!
jerbear Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Ok, so I'm a Virgo and Sag is supposed to be one of my least compatible signs. My ex was a Sag but....so is my H. My ex and I were like oil and water and H and I get along very well..go figure. Many women in my life are Virgo's, ex's, friends, friend's parents, and even my mom. Maybe that is why I see you as the LS mom? :lmao: Haha...I'm only a Cap by birth. In reality, I'm a Sag! Hope that helps to defer some of the pain. I've friends with ALOT of Sag's, they are a interesting bunch, got to spend more time with them to build trust. Be more giving, understanding, and when they becomes friends; they're one of the best. I think of all the ex's, they were either Virgos or Sag's, and one another but I forgot who she was.
mixwell Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Guys, Felt had to share this. I am a strong believer of zodiac signs and I believe signs compatibility, or lack of it, can make a huge impact in relationships. Being a Scorpion, I have had good success with Taureans, as we share the same good and bad qualities, therefore easily understand one another. Scorpions tend to be jealous and possesive at times, and so are Taureans. We are loyal partners seeking for loyal faithful mates, and only Taureans can provide a Scorpion the same amount of loyalty. Sex.. again only Taureans can measure up to Scorpion urges. I once dated a Virgoan (I already read that Virgoans are perfectionist, something Scorpions are not, and that they may be terrified of Scorpions sexual urges, therefore not a good match), who had this terrified look every time he sees a hint that I may want to have sex. And I'm not a freak or anything, I just like having sex non stop, something like 4 rounds non-stop; not too much to ask, is it? Well, this guy's eyes would bulge out like he has seen death. So, it became annoying that every time we finish sex, instead of cuddling he would go on and on about how tired he was and how I may be too young for him and all (42 yrs in excellent shape, works out everyday! I'm 31) well we eventually broke up. I have had 4 very bad experiences with Geminis; the most troublesome zodiac sign of all. Geminis for me is a no-go area. They like freedom, I like to posses. They never understood why I'm jealous, I wanted them to understand that I'm jealous because I love them. Didn't work. I have reached a point to where, before I decide to date anyone, I have to check my compatibility with their signs, so save myself confusions and heartaches later on. I have settled with a Taurean who doesn't mind when I ask questions, do spy work on him, get jealous or possesive, because he does the same. What I have learned so far: Geminis: scared of commitment, very undecided, have 2 faces, strange people in general Virgoan: scared of sex Taureans: true lovers, loyal and committed. Want something casual, don't date this sign, or mine, for that matter. Thoughts, ideas, criticisms are welcome!! I will be honest I didn't read past the first 2 sentences but as far as zodiac signs go I wouldn't read into them too much into signs.. To give a logic stand point rather than spiritual A zodiac sign is just a date you're born has has no outcome of a persons actions..
OpenBook Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Did you date my ex??? I might have. In my experience, Capricorns tend to have an elevated sense of entitlement. They definitely have a very high opinion of themselves.
sunshinegirl Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I might have. In my experience, Capricorns tend to have an elevated sense of entitlement. They definitely have a very high opinion of themselves. That sounds about right... on top of the 'high opinion of himself' my ex had a very very hard time admitting wrongdoing. As far as I know, he still doesn't understand or see the role HE played in his marriage blowing up. I have started wondering whether his well-developed ego is a cover-up for some deeper insecurity and fear.

Unfortunately, if you don't measure up to a Scorpio's sexual needs, they're likely to find someone who does, yes..it's that important for us;) However, I'm reluctant to consider cheating as a zodiac sign behaviour though.

I have started wondering whether his well-developed ego is a cover-up for some deeper insecurity and fear. I've always gotten the impression that they care a little too much about other people's opinions of them. They're not happy unless everyone else is worshipping them, looking up to them, etc. It seems to be their driving force.

They're not happy unless everyone else is worshipping them, looking up to them, etc. It seems to be their driving force. Fascinating. My ex always said he didn't give a crap what anyone else thought of him. He doesn't like people...devalues most everyone except for highly intelligent or accomplished or beautiful people. Never made an effort to converse with or get to know my friends...which I used to attribute to clumsy introversion but may well be he didn't see them as worthy of his precious time or attention.

Yeah, they probably weren't bowing down before the Altar Of Him.:D Capricorns have no use for people who treat them like any other... except when those people are wealthy or influential or have something he wants. Then he turns into the very definition of "sycophant." Capricorns are excellent brown-nosers. It's all a little bit too much based on others in relation to him, IMO. I've never met a Capricorn who actually lives up to his lofty opinions of himself.

I'm reluctant also. But the same traits keep happening over and over again with the same sign! And I'm only thinking of men here, in relation to their Zodiac sign. I've not done a lot of analysis on women's traits. I know some of the tendencies are the same, but I have no idea if women exhibit the same behavior as their male counterparts under the same sign. The same trait may be present, but women may manifest it differently from men.
jj2007 Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 From astrology.com: Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac, and those born under this Sign will be quick to tell you all about it. That's because they love to talk! It's not just idle chatter with these folks, either. The driving force behind a Gemini's conversation is their mind. The Gemini-born are intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information. The more information a Gemini collects, the better. Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun, for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Dalliances with these folks are always enjoyable, since Geminis are bright, quick-witted and the proverbial life of the party. Even though their intellectual minds can rationalize forever and a day, Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped. Can a Gemini be boring? Never! Since Geminis are a mix of the yin and the yang, they are represented perfectly by the Twins. The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an issue, a wonderfully practical quality. Less practical is the fact that you're not sure which Twin will show up half the time. Geminis may not know who's showing up either, which can prompt others to consider them fickle and restless. They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim. It's this characteristic which readily suggests the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. Mutable folks are flexible and go with the flow. Further, the Twins are adaptable and dexterous and can tackle many things at once. It's a good thing, too, when you consider their myriad interests. The downside of such a curious mind, however, can be a lack of follow-through. How much can any one person do, anyway? I am a Gemini and we are really not that bad! IME anyway..... I am also a identical twin. But my sister was stillborn.
Suiyobi Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Scorpio, huh? Have you tried to catch a fish (Pisces) yet? Guys, Felt had to share this.

vonerik012 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I am a Taurus, and my ex was a Leo. We both seemed to fit the profile of our respective signs. I don't know how much I believe in astrology, but I know we were not the greatest fit. I never dated a Scorpio. Pisces seemed to be a little too flighty for me.
