To non-aquarians: what do u like + dislike about US?

really did you have to ask them what they dont like about us? this thread is going to get up in the 100's..LOL

are you trying to be fair and balanced?

I dont like how "under cover" sensitive I am. I do not like that I cannot find a man and stick with him through thick and thin. I do not like that I get so pissed off quickly. I do not like how materialistic I am. I love/hate that I am a humanitarian. I love my independence and I hate how easliy turned on I am. MORE 2 COME

Why of course. Unlike other signs, we are pretty accepting of both our strengths and our weaknesses, we dont live in 'bubble-land' in regards to our faults. Let them hate if they want.

well i would have to agree this is true. we do not live in 'bubble-land', i like that about us.

when someone points out my faults, i always respond with, "i know'. then i will give an example of another fault that i have. i always say i'm not perfect..only God is.

i like being an aquarian because we are unique. i like that no one else thinks like we do and i like how we can think outside the box. i like my detachment, when i go in my hole for a while and then come back to the world...i have thought of the most amazing stuff. i like that we are risk takers, we are adventurous, and i like how blunt we are 🙂. we are strong aquas and we dont take no crap.


i dont like that people judge me and call me snobbish. dont like that one bit. but its the way of the world so i've gotten over that. i dont like that i am considered aloof and eccentric. i hate to see that when they are describing us. makes us seem like weirdos. well some of us are, but those exist in every sign. also i dont like to be misunderstood.

I like how we are accepting to everyone regarless of background or social standing. I like our sense of humour and how we dont take things to heart.

I dislike the fact that we cant really connect to others on an emotional level, i feel like we are missing out somehow. I dislike that we could talk to anybody, yet its hard to make/mantain friends/friendships.

I like the fact that we are unique, different, special, strong and one of a kind. I love the fact that we are so strong, independent and can make it on our own. I love the fact that we are go-getters. When we want something we go out there and fight to get it.. If we have our mind set on a car we want we save up money until we get enough to go get that car. We always strive for more and want the best out of life. We try our best to always be and think positive. We do not judge others, we give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It takes alot for someone to get to us, to get under our skin, and cause us to loose it.. When we get to that point we are pretty much done with that person that got to us like that. We get along well with others. What I don't like about us is the fears we have within that cause us sometimes to hold back from expressing how we really feel on an emotional level..

I like how the Aquas I know are very accepting, easy to talk to, honest (to a degree), reliable and have their own sense of style . My one Aqua friend will wear a colorful scarf, with boots that dont really match, blue jeans and a sweat shirt... yet it fits her perfectly.

I don't too much enjoy the stubborness, selective hearing, and inability to communicate in a healthy manner.

More hate mail, i hate how we are oblivious to others feelings eg. We say hurtful things to others and just because the things we say wouldnt hurt as much if they were said to us, so we assume that it wont hurt others too.

I like how our intellect flows verbally in such a way that it's a standard language to us, however to others people look up to us as though we speak alien languages. Equally how when someone actually lays in to us for long enough to frustrate us that we use our words like a razor cutting to the core, while it's nothing short of a verbal exercise for us. I dislike how I am able to have a conversation with just about anyone but I have a speed bump when it comes to approaching said individual in the first place. I like my passion in things, however sometimes I feel like others view them as overboard lol! I HATE the fact that I can instantly feel a sexual attraction with someone, however after that it's over, because no one seems to stimulate the intellectual/emotional side in the slightest. 😢 Feels like there is always a void in that respect.

There is SO much truth in this statement, not to mention how I've been the friend to help many when something is said to them that tears them apart and I explain to them how it means nothing overall... Hurtful words are just another service we offer without thinking twice of the results.

Any Aquas here have a sex drive that is... er.... problematic, for lack of a better word?

It seems to be something that most get upset at how the switch is rarely off.. Due to such I've run into situations where people feel that you are only interested in that individual for the sex and nothing more.

Lol @ selective hearing. What do u mean by that gem? And also by unhealthy way of communication...aquaj, i love the title of 'THE UNFORGETABLES'

I not sure if all aquas are like this, but I don't get nervous in front of any crowds no matter what I'm doing. I get more nervous for a one on one photograph then being watched by a crowd of people. I also love having control over my emotions and getting to throw them away when I don't want them. I don't like when people become emotionally demanding on me and I can't meet up to their expectation. I'm also a bit flaky when it comes to some of my friends.

I dont like sex, there i said it. I do it like some do chores, i do this mental countdown until the finish line. I dont know if its an aqua thing or mars conjunct saturn. Oh well

'emotionally demanding', i hate that too. I dont make demands on ppl and i expect the same, but ppl dont seem to understand that. I had a fight with my taurus friend bcoz of it. She cried when my mom passed away (she has a cancer moon) and i didnt cry when her mom passed last december. She has tears on tap, i dont and i definitely cant fake it if i dont feel it. Thats the sad truth

Aquaj, what do u mean by the scorpio comment? Got stung? I have them as casual friends and i always feel uneasy around them, even with my scorp planets.

I love how I fit in with 'the boys" and although I am super feminine I have a ton of male friends that consider me "one of the boys". I dont make friends easily and I am scared to death of rejection.

I am not happy with being everybodys diary. I have problems of my own but Im built ford tough so I just suck it up

Its that unforgiving thing, u just wont know when u cross what they consider a 'no-entry' zone. Thats why i dont keep them close- i have my moods, they have their and its always explosive when we get too close.

See, that's the problem - that fear of feeling vulnerable, that pride, I never know if that's Aqua coming through or my Leo rising.

I would say it must be Aqua, but we only are like that when we truly do care about someone. IF we have a friend thats just a friend nothing more, we have no problem reaching out to them daily, but when our emotions get involved and we are unsure if it's mutual thats when we become stubborn hold back and dont want to express ourselves..

HMMM..this can be because it's not fun, you have to spark it up..When you are in a long term relationship, after a while that is what happens, but you have to make it spontaneous and fun and not think of it like business or a chore..Put on lingerie, light candles all around, have your husband do things to turn you on..lol

Oohhh, that's so true! I completely forgot that part, I love that about Aquas - we choose to assume the best of people until they SHOW us that they're not good people. We are idealists🙂

Yes and we want to help people and bring the best out of them..Turn around the negative into something positive! 🙂

I agree with being too emotionally controlled when we feel love, i think it stems from fear of being hurt or the fear of not being liked the same way. Its our downfall bcoz we may pass up great relationships bcoz of that. But at the same time i believe that if we were really liked in the 1st place, the person would have stuck around until the ice thawed. Their loss

It's hard when you keep hearing the same traits repeated for your sign but you can't relate😢 I have a lot of conjunctions to my Venus and fiery Mats, I don't hesitate or hold back, I am usually the one who says 'I Love You' FIRST.

I used to be that way, when I was younger, but after being in a long term relationship of 8 years, now out of it, it's not that simple for me to just express myself.. I have a fear..LOL

@aquaj, i cant stand ppl who are out of control with their emotions. Im with that italian scorp chick- if u have to cry, do it outside. Or alone. Emotions are messy, they are yours, so deal with them by yourself and dont expect others to join in. Some ppl just blabber from the their emotions without sense or logic and expect others to understand their standing point. It doesnt work like that, sit down and reason with self then find whatever solution u need- wailing/bitching without any thinking process or troubleshooting is what annoys me.

It must be your moon too, aquaj. Piesces is all about true love and whatnot. Have u ever read about antiscia? Mirror image of each sign, astro twins. For aqua its scorp and for pisces its libra. I always thought there was something fishy about libra being an air sign, so there u go. Read up on it.

I dont know about water signs and crying- my chart is mostly scorp, but my scorp planets are all conjunct saturn, i dont cry much. I hate emotional talks too, sort it out or be silent- i skip out on ppl who try to drown me in their issues. Sorry to hear about your bf's person (lack of better words, lol).

im a non aquarian. scorp male come to socialize in the pond. how yall doin?


what i like about aquas are their way of thinking. they are out there lol. i love how they can think not only outside the box, but around it, under it and over it. their minds asks the questions that no one else seem to touch on. not to mention they are cool, aloof mellow people. hilarious too. the best people to hang out and have a laid back time with.


what i dont like about them?... .... .............. .............. thats a good question. the only thing i would say that they might need to look into is their focus. sometimes they are all over the place all at once, and they move on very quickly and randomly. but i dont mind, cos i like to flow with them. you never know where you'll end up lol. we could be talking about one thing, and then aqua will bring up another new subject out of no where. but i really wouldnt say i dont like this about them. that just shows how their minds are always on the move. they think about something and move on to the next. they have a lot of water to cover, so i let them flow and dont stop them.

i really dont have anything bad to say about aquas. they are my buddies.

And i like your name too, AquaJ.

—? you mean oversexed or undersexed?

i'm this way to aqualad. i am usually the one on my team that does the presentations. but if you want to talk one on one..then im moving in my seat, and not making eye contact. i control my emotions too. i suck it in a lot.

i dont like being everybody's diary either..well put. even the diary of people that think they can sit at the doctors office and tell me EVERYTHING.

i always wondered what it was about me that made people (complete strangers) think that they can tell me all of there private business.

Lol @ selective hearing. What do u mean by that gem? And also by unhealthy way of communication...aquaj, i love the title of 'THE UNFORGETABLES'

Well, take my Aqua friend for instance. We will have a conversation, agree or disagree and then when the subject is brought back up it's either " I never said that", or " You never said that", or " what are you talking about, when did we decide this?". I notice this only happens when it favors what she wants at the moment. It is the most frustrating thing ever and I honestly believe she truly tunes out anything I say that does not agree with what she wants. This is with most of the aquas I know... they just tend to "forget" stuff.

What I mean by unhealty way of communication is the passive aggressive kind of behavior. The aquas I have known won't just come out and speak what is bothering them. They will hold it in for days! Then all of a sudden become super critical about EVERYTHING, or very short when asked questions, slip in sarcastic/sly comments, or just sit and think themselves to death! If I ask what is wrong I usually get a "blah" kind of answer, but I notice if I ask a specific question, that happens to hit the problem on the nose, then I will get a more honest open answer. I just feel it is a little unhealthy not to communicate and assume someone will know what is wrong. I usually can sense what is going on because I have a Pisces moon and rising... which sucks for me.

OMG!!! LOL!!! Where is your Pisces moon in those moments— LOL. I just like, smile and pretend that it's all OK and even try to convince myself I can be happy with this person if we have other stuff in common and get along... then I stop returning their calls and slowly slip away.

click to expand

well, i had been in a dry spell and finally found someone i thought i can stand to see the next morning. then that happened. i was angry.

but see that is what i mean about the pisces moon...it doesnt have that much control over me. unless im watching a sappy movie and my bf sits me down to tell me all of his emotions...i start crying before he can get the first 3 sentences out.

but no im not oversexed i dont think. you know it only happens about 2 times a day 4 days a week. thats not bad. im happy with it 🙂

I think that's why some relationships with Aquas don't work out. The aquas I know can be mad for a long time, won't address the issue directly, but will be hurt and upset inside. They will analyze the problem, person and circumstances leading up to said problem obsessively until they draw conclusions based off what they THINK, not the facts.

I used to date a sagittarius and one thing about them is they are vocal when upset, but also very loving, giving and actually pretty deep. Mine used to stare in my eyes and sing to me all the time! Didn't seem to matter that whatever key the song was being sung in didn't exist lol.

Lol @ the singing inlovegem. Was he an indian? Lol. When i was growing up we always watched indian movies at home. When i started dating an indian from india, i always wondered why he hasnt sang for me yet. In their movies they always sing when in love, i thought that was their culture and reality. We would walk around and i would look around expecting dancers to pop up. After about two m?nths of it not happening, i thought i was being played, so i asked where my damn song was. LMAO

I like that I have a big heart I'm generous when it counts and I genuinely care about ppl and animals but I dont make a big deal over it....I have a strong mind, I like being able to think ideas n concepts up on the spot I like that im curious about ppl that others overlook......

I hate that i cant keep a boyfriend and I hate my sex drive i have no control over who i fuk.

I hate being misunderstood.

I hate that I cant be serious lol

LOL watercup tooo funny!! When I was growing up and watched classic movies with my mom EVERYONE sang when they were in love.... as well as tap danced lol.

She was mixed ( black & white), my first love ever and so intense about everything. I have never ever dated another Sag, and that was almost 12 years ago.

That's awesome chemengin I used to do the presentations on my team as well. I stopped though a year ago because they put so much demand on my on the field I was usually nursing my injuries or trying to see if I still had all my ribs. Do you like the part about controlling your emotions? I mean in sports I feel it comes so in handy the only one I use is anger. 😛

What I like about Aqua: You're intelligent and I'm not talking about the "academic intelligence" or bookworm type. I'm talking about "creative intelligence" , something different if there is such a term to describe. I love your brains and I want to savour every little things in these unusual minds. Haha, I'm starting to sound like the character Sylar in Heroes but really, it's so beautiful that I can get lost in your wonderful "wonderbrain". Quirky and funny. You're easy-going and stick-in-the-mud at the same time. Accepting yet discriminating... Just wonderful contradictions. Yeha, I'm just a bit "twisted" that way. I love contradicted characters who can suprise me every day. Your devotion and faith in me can encourage me to do the impossible things. Noone believes in me and trusts me as much as an Aqua friend. I know I've someone to cover my back in any situations and that's a big thing for a Scorp. Loyalty. I think I can find it in you. I don't have to worry about you gossiping behind my back and telling the town about my secrets. That's another big thing for Scorp. Of course, that goes together with your short attention span but at the same time, you suprise me with your memory of my little details. In fact, I suspect you didn't listen well enough but your brain is capable of getting these information unconsciously any way. That's such a turn on.

What I don't like: You can be quite competitive and hate losing too much, so you can end up falling into some sort of bad addictions like Pisces. However, once you can hold a grip of yourself after hearing my attempt at using unusual logic to convince you that you could do it but it was beneath you. You usually get out of addictions just as quick as you fall into them like you never have any addictions. Bravo!

Ghosh, you can be very needy! I'm not mocking. I'm being honest. Once you see me as your best friend, you just want me to accompany you every where and you don't seem to care about other people you know at all. They're what you call acquaintances and they won't get a chance to see you. However, as your best friend, there is also a price to pay. You get very sensitive if I seem to care for other friends more in front of you. You find hard to be in second place. You've to be speacial and be treated as the best. You can have your space but when it's my turn, you think I don't respect you and love you enough. A double standard, I get it: you're special! LOL!
(cont)

You're also too sentimental so you keep lots of trunks in your house and hate it when someone tells you to throw them away .To you, each one of them holds a special meaning and suprisingly, you remember all! Ok, fine, but please keep them organised.

There are many more things I like and dislike about you and these things are just general stuff, only on the surface but I don't want to write an essay here. Whatever happens, I love you and I know you're special so let's skip together and be best friends. I know I can be pretty irritating too and I hope it's ok with you 😄

i like how aquarians are misunderstood, like us scorpios. it brings us closer and gives the feeling of us against the world when we analiyze together. they are my cerebral twins

LIKES:
- the ability to genuinely understand both points of view of something... something i learned not everyone can do!
- the ability to treat everyone the same regardless of age, sex, race, title, etc -- everyone's treated as an equal
- the ability to be above frivilous emotion
- genuinely not caring what other people think


DISLIKES (not major, but if i had to choose lol):
- the inability to stop... talking... in paragraphs haha. in e-mails, on here, in actual conversation. i can never keep it to a minimum and be brief lol
- when that aqua niceness works to our disadvantage. b/c we can't help but help people (even the shitty people) and we end up getting burned
- when we can't keep our thoughts to ourselves. sometimes it's necessary =P lol

Likes: The intelligence factor and how you guys have varied/eclectic tastes. Your own special brand of loyalty when itcomes to friendship. Your child like innocence about the world. You are like the prodigies of the zodiac.

Dislikes: The games and manipulation. Throwing people under the bus. People are not chess pieces. They way you will not let go of people or ideas. Detachment is not the same as completely letting go. It's the difference between detaching a lego piece from another one. You can eventually re-attach it provided that the pieces aren't broken. Truly letting go is like releasing a balloon into the wind and watching it fly away. It's gone and the chances of it coming back are slim to none.

Overall, Aquas are interesting people.
