irc333 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I was reading this profile of a woman, she didn't just name 1 or 2 astrological signs in men she wont' date, but 6 astrolocial signs....she said it's "proven to be true" But why do women ( and I think it's mostly women) that believe in this malarky when it comes to compatible astrological signs in a mate?

Believing in astrological signs = dealbreaker.
Tim The Enchanter Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I've seen that. I usually laugh out loud to myself and then move on to the next profile. No point wasting time with someone who is irrational to a fault.
EasyHeart Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 ZOMG, NEVER DATE AN ARIES!!! Or a Gemini. Jes sayin'.
Kamille Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Why try to make this a theory about All Women just because you're incompatible with a few? She believes in astrological compatibility. You think it's beyond ridiculous. Ergo, you're incompatible. Next!
flying Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 As a woman formerly on the online dating scene, I totally saw men's profiles where they brought this stuff up. Automatic next for me. Amusingly, after I discovered my exH's cheating, he had the nerve to say that the OW was even a better astrological sign match for him! Well good heavens, how could I compete with that?? :rolleyes: OP, anyone who posts that is just telling you what you need to know. How helpful of them.
EasyHeart Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 As a guy, I've found astrology to be something fun and playful to talk about on early dates. Except with Leos. They're all bitches.
Knittress Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I'd be more annoyed at them for being dumb rather than just being superstitious. Astrological compatibility is vastly more complex than just sun signs, so much so that you could probably see whatever relationship dynamic you want in it. Maybe they think they're cool bringing up occulty-stuff they know nothing about, but to me it'd really just come off as pretentious.
