The Trouble with Capricorns (Page 2)

Ohh James..blow it outta your a**.

Jaya, based on what you mentioned about your man--he just sounds like a total selfish, arrogant jerk who is unwilling to do his fair share. Am I too far off base?

I luv you sloane.

LMAO

he's got lots of narcissusm..hahahaha.. 😄
Actually, today I referred to him as Narcissus..but James..ofcourse you know that Cappies Rule anyway!!
Right?? and..I'm not a whiner jimmie.. ugh!! 😛

Nither is sloane I just must agervate from time to time.

Hey Sloane!! How are you doing? I know, long time no hear from. I just was surfing so I thought I would come here and see what's going on. So how is everything? As for me, I'm doing okay. I was reading this topic and I thought about my relationships with Capricorns and I found that Libras and Caps can be okay, but Caps are all about themselves, materialistic and selfish. Including money hungry. My mother, uncle, cousin, about 3 girl friends, 2 and exboyfriends were Caps so I think I know. They can be nice and loyal, etc. but I also noticed, they choose the wrong friends - it seems to me they like the ones that use them and intimidate them. Not All Caps (This is so no one gets offended) but some of the ones I met. I could go on and on, and on about the Caps I know. Its not enough time in the day.

Hope thing are well!

Happy

Sloane have you ever heard from VOR again?

Happy

Happy Libra!!
Wher've you been girl?
Glad to hear from you and you are so right. Even my Aries and Virgo friends who are close to (or I should say "used to be close to") out Cappie freind, is calling it quits on him because he is so damn selfish, a mooch, materialistic, a money monger and has the "what can you do for me?" attitude which I HATE!!! Arrrggghhhhh!!!

No I haven't heard from VOR at all. It would be nice to hear from him/her though.

I got laid off from my job but am working now THANK GOD. The job market out there blows big time. It's very, very tough to land a decent job these days. Anyway, hope you are doing well. Is your birthday coming soon?
Sloane

Hmmmm...I have a male Cappy friend and he awhile ago had asked me to help him paint his house before he moved. I said, sure I will help you. Then he moved into his new home and asked me if I would come over and do faux painting in his office. I said, "sure, I would love to help you."

Just the other day, I asked him if we would come over and help me paint my kitchen. "No, I am too busy right now." Okie dokie then.....

So, some of the above statements are true is looks to me. Lesson learned from this good helper.

Freebird--tell that selfish son of a cookiemonster Cappie to get his a** over to your place and recipricate the favour!!!! THAT'S what friends are for. If he doesn't still--call him up and tell him to never, ever ask you for any more freindly favors. Ya gotta do it.

You got used.

How the treetrunk would any of you know what the trouble with a capricorn is, treetrunk all of you.

ouch... james..we did not mean to offend.. please come back and talk with us.. I guess too..that today was a very bad day for all of us..

unless ofcourse, you're pulling all of our strings.. hehe..
in that case..it's a little to hard..please loosen your grip..peashhheee.... 🙂

..geeschh..the full and the crazy around here..please do not feed our animals... within us ofcourse!! hehehe..🙂

I was perhaps drinking when I wrote on this thread.

I agree Sloan, I was used. However, I would not have known this had I not gone through the experience. I am not going to ask him to come over and return the favor because I believe a "true" friend would not have said no to begin with...or he may have said no that he was too busy at the moment but could do it another time. It is not worth it to me to convince him to come over...nah, skip it. It is these type of experiences that show the true colors of our so called "friends".

Thanks anyway....as James says, "If you want something done your way, do it yourself" or something like that.

My birthday is in the middle of the month - October 16th. I found a job at a mortgage company. I left the construction company after 13 years. I miss them because they were a big part of my life, but you know, gotta do what ya gotta do. This company is okay, I like the people here and the work isn't to bad,(I'm on the net at work right now) not bragging (cause you know how that can go) but anyway I plan on being here a while but my cool boss is leaving so I don't know what's going to happen. But I have to take the test (since I'm a graduate from a private, well known college, I should'nt have to take the test because I'll have my transcript) at the IRS next Tues. so if they call me I might go (Gov't job). Just trying to go with the flow. So wish me well and for you......Don't worry - you'll find a fit (YOUR TIME WILL COME) trust me. You still have that great personality.

I'm gonna try to visit more often.

Have a good day!

Happy

Oh yeah, to everyone else, sorry for the interruption. But I haven't talked to Sloane for a while.

Have a Great Day!

Happy

Happy Libra--
You're so sweet!
Regarding your last message--What kind of test do you have to take for the goverment job? Good luck on that.

Freebird--
I understand. I just just hate it when a decent person gets used. It triggers a bit of outrage in me and of course being a Libra and being big on justice, I try to interject an idea as what to do to handle the situation. I just hope that guy that used you will be sorry later on. Personally, I wouldn't give him the time of the day.

James, I wasn't trying to point the finger at Cappies in general. It doesn't matter what that selfish bastard's sign was. Hell--he could of been a Libra!! No offense to you James but I just find that most men have a degree of selfishness in them. Some more than others whereas women tend to be the "givers" and are more often contientious and caring. Hope I did not offend anyone.

Sloane~

Thank you my dear Libra pal...I am not giving him the time of day. I ran into him yesterday and found myself being nice to him but not going out of my way to communicate with him. I too have found that a lot of men can be selfish and woman are natural givers. The men know this and if a woman is not secure within herself will give away herself to the "taker". Women have been taught to be givers from our parents. We watch how mom takes care of dad and how dad accepts this. I so believe that times are changing for the women and some men are having a hard time with this due to their "ego". Ah, the trials and tribulations of relationships. I too am hoping that I am not offending anyone...just my personal observations and experiences.

As soon as I feel that I am being taking for granted or being "used" I take myself out. Would love "use" someone else? No, I do not think so.

Thanks again, Sloan I enjoy the "justice" in you.

Freebird

Sloan I am selfish, do not worry about offending I try to be offence.

Kind of like how men selfishly risk their lives in war to protect women like you, so you can mouth off about how much you hate men? How they selfishly go out and bust their asses everyday so that they can provide for the family? Maybe you two just don't get out enough or maybe when you see a selfish female you just turn a blind eye to it because of your bias. No Sloane and Freebird I wasn't offended by your ignorance just kind of baffled by it and your one sided view of things.

Maybe we are having a difference of opininion of what the word "selfish" means. Could this be possible?

Lazlow, what I think this word means is when a man thinks only of himself and no one else including his mate or partner. For example: a man desires sex from whom ever he is with at the time. Let's say he will say or do anything to get it without regard to the woman's feelings. This is being selfish, lack of respect. He is out only to please himself and get what he desires...it is only for his satisfaction. Going to war for our country is not the same thing, nor is going to work to support the family as these both are admirable QUALITIES in a man or woman.

Sorry for the misunderstanding....

Freebird

ooops sorry about the typo...should be, opinion.

Absolutely...I ditto Freebirds's last post--that's pretty much what I meant and other examples too of course--like what Freebird experienced with her friend. I would never, ever criticise any american soldier or man that completely supports his family--of course not--this is not what I was using as an example.

It's more to do with the old "what can you do for me"? attitude that grates my a**. Soldiers fighting and hardworking family supporting men are an entirely different story.

So your opinion is that all men are selfish and all women are caregivers, Freebird? OK Gotcha!!

Well, I thought my examples were perfectly good ones, they are selfless acts and this topic became about men being selfish. We could get into an argument about women and selfishness with money, but I won't stoop to your level. It isn't fair to characterize women as all being the same because I know they aren't

Of course they're not Lazlow--I never said women are perfect. I think you're taking my comments too seriously. But it is a known fact that women in general have more of a soft spot and are more likely to lend a helping hand. I'm not asking you to agree with me. This is what I know.

all I know is if you cant love the woman you love, love the one your with. i am a selfishish man, and I like it give me, give me, give me more. HA HA HA ( that a mean HA HA HA) not a happy one.

Lazlow~ gotta agree with Sloane on this one. I do not believe that I used the word "all" in referring to men and women. I also feel that maybe you are taking my comments too seriously. Everyone will have an opinion here and isn't this why we come to this place? to express our thoughts and feelings? Isn't this a cool place to have the opportunity to learn?

I did not in the least "characterize" women as being the same. There is no way that anyone on this planet is the same.

How about we agree to disagree? No judgements.

James, we can call you the diffuser....good job 🙂

Once again, my apologies for any miscommunication.

Freebird

Easy Tigers!!!...and Tigresses!!!....:-)
