Is a guy’s zodiac sign important to you?

[Mili4]

Hey ! I don't really believe in compatibility or astrology in general and never ask guys about their zodiac signs, but I'm starting to notice that something matches the description of the signs. What about you? Is it important to you?

Exqueeze me? A man in touch with his emotional side? A man who is not blighted by toxic ideals of masculinity?

In other words, a sexy, sensitive, guardian reading, birthday remembering, charity donating sweetheart of a man who isn’t afraid to cry when he has a bad day at work.

Manly men are soooooo overrated 🤢

...so...gay then? Gotcha.

I jest.

I'm not a manly man, I like action movies.
I mean yes there are good film exceptions in every genre but sorry, if he has a film wrack that's mostly rom com and is straight then I would assume his last long term girlfriend bought them.

To be fair, it might still be an indicator of a good man. If, one, he was with someone before long enough to accumulate all those dvds and two, willing to sit through their tedium for her. He's a stronger person than I.

You might do well to watch a romantic comedy from time to time, instead of macho man testosterone action flicks. Might help you make less homophobic comments when replying to people on a forum 🤷‍♀️

It's not homophobic to state facts. Most straight men won't have a cupboard full of romcoms.

Happy to watch a range of films, thanks.

Just pointing out that those romcoms you think your Mr sensitive watches - his ex bought them.

Also, if he's crying when he comes home from work - that's probably not sensitivity, its depression! (Assuming he isn't working in a field where people die or theres daily trauma or something). Maybe encourage him to change jobs instead of making out its a healthy thing to be crying after work. Sensitive enough for you?

Yes but not enough to let it put me off a person.

Scorpios stereotype for dating is having a high sex drive, promiscuous nature, the ability to reel someone in and kill things off with a nasty and cutting comment.

Sounds hot to me tbf xD

But from what I heard Scorpios are actually supposed to be super loyal to the right partners. Like finding your ride or die. It's just, most people won't be that for them.

That's the thing, there's conflicting info out there for each sign.

They can be both. If you're not their person they'll be the version I posted (and why a pp probably avoids them) if you are their person you've got the person you've posted

capricorn and aries are horned beasts who will lock horns, leo is everyone’s friend

Leo's are superficially everyone's friend. What they want is the attention a large social group brings. If you're truly a Leos friend you'll have their confidence and they will latch onto you so much you'll be considering a restraining order for stalking. Leo's also love love, but get bored easily if they aren't actually in love.

Capricorns are all about the money.

Aires are attention seeking airheads who if you told them to turn up at 7pm for dinner they'll arrive at 9 and convince you they got the right time not you.

I don't think I've seen a single OLD profile that mentions star signs, but I would have ignored it/swiped no if I had, and they have to be a seriously bad profile for me to screenshot it and share it with all my friends remember it, so confirmation/algorithm bias. I don't usually know someone's birthday until a few dates in, so it's not relevant.

My birthday book does have clusters of birthdays (family and friends more than past boyfriends.) I seem to have met a lot of people who share mine, but again, that's a date I'll remember, rather than I attract them in particular. If I get really bored at some point, I might look up known birthdays of men I've slept with - there are a couple of groups round July and January. But it's just statistical fun rather than astrology. It'd be interesting to see how it correlates to the general population - aren't there more births in particular months?

(In case you're wondering, my weekend plans are laundry and housework, and I am clearly in a pricrastinatory frame of mind...)

Nope!

Absolutely not but my three closest friends are the same one, Leo. I met each around thirty years ago. They didn't know each other.

No.

Some one once did a proper study on this. I believe they found a very slight statistical correlation between certain attributes and the time of year they were born. e.g. Higher achievers were slightly more likely to be born in the autumn.
All explained by school years and other things that are nothing to do with astrology of course.

People just like thinking there’s something that is externally controlling them. Astrology or religion or reincarnation and karma or whatever.

I wouldn’t approach any potential match if they were daft enough to put their star sign. So it’s quite useful.

I would love to hear your reasoning for why you think there’s something in it?

Mmm
Im a Scorpio and I’m none of those things

No not at all, as someone else said, I'm not 13.

I’m a Gemini, as is my DH… this is meant to be a bad combination apparantly but it works for us so far 😂

No of course not! Well...unless he is a gemini!!!

I don't care about zodiac signs. I care about whether a man can provide, i.e. pay bills, look after his family and allow me to live comfortably.

I initially read that as arse. Maybe there is something in it after all!

I'm also a Leo. I'm quiet, creative, introverted and hate large groups of people or being asked to take the lead in something. Star signs give absolutely no insight at all.

This thread is from January but lol
