I was thinking back to all of the Cancer friends I have ever had and realized a pattern with the males vs. the females. When it comes to knowledge, discussion and new findings my female Cancer friends were much easier to engage in conversation and their ego not get hurt. If I seemed to know slightly more than the males or try to consistently bring bring up new articles or specials I saw they thought I was being boastful or a know it all. I really don't try to be and don't think I am. I am just a talkative person and love discussion. I feel you learn more discussing different points of view. My cancer female friends on the other hand have told me I do ask a lot of questions sometimes but will bring to the table happily things they have read or new things they have learned. They never seem threatened by any knowledge I have or want for discussion. In fact they love talking and usually are glad to find any reason to talk. I don't mind considering I can be quiet so they bring me out of it. I don't know if I just have some guy friends who are threatened by a woman with knowledge or if others have seen this happen with Cancer males as well. I feel more comfortable talking with my Cancer female friends because they will let me talk and feel supported and don't seem like they MUST be right about everything. No mean to offend just a curiosity if this is just my personal experience.

Yeah I don't know if I worded it wrong. They have never seemed egotistical just seemed to hate to be wrong even when proven wrong than my Cancer female friends. It also seems a more progressed person thing. My female Cancer friends do seem more mature or diplomatic than the Cancer male friends I have. If the females don't like being wrong they don't show it much at all.

Wow that's crazy she won't let him have time with his own twin sister. I know family is important to most Cancers I know so that can't be easy on him at the same time though my cancer male friends drop off the face of the planet when they get into relationships.

That's interesting my cancer male friend I set up with my friend a long time ago have a kid and are getting married. I found out she is a Virgo. She will plan stuff with me though and they invited me to 4th of July this past year but I was not in town. They as a couple dropped off face of the earth. I never hear anything about their relationship besides this time they broke up for six months. The Cancer didn't bring anything up to me or hang with me but the Virgo made an effort to hang with me and update me. That was another point I realized how much Cancers like shell time and to not be offended if they don't talk to you for a while...they are probably just going through a lot.

That makes sense to me. My cancer female friends at first often are insecure about our friendship or getting hurt until I realize I am a force of good and laid back calming energy. The way you describe it makes sense from the male part as well.

This might come as a suprise to you clueless , but my capricorn nature doesn't interfere with me debating. Lol I usually get others mad and huffy. Typically speaking anger is the first sign of a failed argument. Even with my ex brother in law a lawyer. He'd run out of ideas and get pissed. But I think that's my philosophical sag side who enjoys debates and learning .

I tend to data dump, if I'm in a debate that I know I'm right. Meaning ill say something and immediately bring up the source I'm coming to my conclusions from. Like articles with exact date they were published. Like a power point presentation : )

I have so much pride that I don't argue a point unless I know I'm 100% correct and the other person is 100% wrong. Works every time and I do not become defensive because I can argue like a peer-reviewed scientific journal article when I know I'm right.

Yep!! Ditto that. Stick to the facts and the truth and it never fails.

That is how I am when it comes to discussion I don't open my mouth unless its something I have done extensive research and can provide a source to my reasoning. I like having a Sag moon it provides my Pisces imagination and spiritual side a great tool for thinking out of the box and sometimes comes up with thoughts or concepts people don't buy into right away. It is only later when it comes true or they research it that I often eventually hear them say "you were right". I will be one of the first to admit it if you prove me wrong.

I also believe in cusps. I am on the Pisces Aries cusp and sometimes show more Aries traits than Pieces
