Cancer man vulnerability

Hi Cancerians

Haven't been here for a while and need just a little input please...

When a Cancer man opens up to you and exposes his vulnerability, is that just something he will do with anyone?

Also, do Cancer men give out compliments easily? In other words, if he compliments you on something you are wearing (and this is the first compliment he gives after knowing you for a long time) could that be a good thing? I know Cancer men can be flirtatious and can go around complimenting anyone but...

He also bites his bottom lip as he leans in to talk to me and it makes me a bit uncomfortable but I feel so girly at the same time.

I said I wouldn't swear off Cancer men after my last fiasco and now there's a new one I'm trying to figure out(sigh)

Thanks in advance

Help!

Well follow your intuition and if he is complimenting you don't overanalyze it Virgo. Take it for what its a compliment. Guys can say all types of shit. Its his actions that really determines his true intentions.

Not all cancers are created equal even though I am being biased because I will never date another Gemini again. But Cancers are cool. I mean SOME. I never been a fan of cancer men, even though I dated 1.

Like I said take it slow and day by day, if he is sharing with you thats good, but can you really expect for us the starngers on the forum to tell you if he does it with everyone? We haven't a clue darling.

Stop being over analytical and critical, just take it for what it is.

I don't know any Cancer men that are big on compliments, but when they say it they appear to mean it from my experience.

Being vulnerable is a big thing too. My Cancer male friend will cry his eyes out in front of me. I will pass him tissues and give him a huge hug and let him do it. He has said that rarely has he done the tears in front of people and he was terrified of doing it in front of me in case i laughed at him. He knows it's safe to open up and be vulnerable because he doesn't get shot down.

It's a big thing for a lot of people, regardless of sun sign.

As a Cancerian women I love complimenting people only when its due!

Thanks EM but I won't take this as a definite that he's interested. I'll just go with the flow. I'm not one to ever put pressure on a guy anyway. I refuse to make a fool of myself.

Thanks JS. My intuition tells me that he likes me but then again, I could be wrong so as I told EM, I will just go with the flow and NOT overanalyze a thing. If he likes me, he likes me and if he doesn't then, oh well.

I'd say he made a sincere compliment. DO you like him 😛?

Cancer guys are cute.. The good ones atleast.. Omg girl.. SOme guy does that to me too.. But he's a TOTAL creep!!! He licks his lips n bites them.. I swear to god if I spoke to him he'd prolly get a boner!! Lmao ew.. I don't want to think about that!! Specially not his how nasty!

Some guys are creeps.

Hey PB,

Yes, I think it was sincere too. I was a bit uncomfortable because of the way he was observing me from head to toe but I won't read into it because I know that Cancers (just like us Virgos), are very observant. He was very flirtatious at the beginning but now he's settling down with me a bit more. He's not as open and playful. A tad more serious and guarded. I think he's simply picked up on how serious I am and can see that flirting is not my style .

Yes, I do like him but I refuse to get all caught up in someone who doesn't feel the same way so, I'm keeping my options open and guarding my heart. I'll give a little here and there but it's gonna have to be a two-way street.

The licking lips thing is just...mad. It makes me feel so diiirrrty. Like they're envisioning you as a pork chop on a plate...yikes!

An interesting side note NZAqua: I have a friend who is in the Mental Health field and she told me that the majority of the clients who cry in her therapy sessions are Cancer males. How does she know that they are Cancers? Well of course in this field, astrology has no place so she would never ask what a client's zodiac sign is, but, she says surprisingly her first or second session in with each one, they come right out and tell her that they are Cancers and go into trying to explain why they 'feel' so much or are so 'emotional' and then the tears begin. Not one or two rolling down the cheeks tears, but she says the tears come out like a flood.

Oh to only have a man with that much feeling..........after 5 years with a Virgo I'm very thirsty!

She'll have gotten their date of birth from patient/client notes 😛

I do love the emotional crab males.

Well of course any therapist can get a client's D.O.B easily from the client's chart but I don't know what you're getting at and I think that you are missing my point; As I stated in my previous post, she would never bring up astrological sign (or anything astrology for that matter), in a session with a client. The point of my last post to you was to provide you with perhaps an interesting observation from someone who has worked with quite a few crab men and witnessed the fact that they are indeed a sensitive/emotional breed. I always say that maybe they should consider allowing astrology to be apart of therapy as I think there's something to it.

I know. Isn't it so sweet. She (the therapist) mentioned that it was rather endearing.

Hahahahahaaa! You are funny! Are we Virgos that bad—? I thought that you Cancers are the ones who help to evoke emotion within us and bring all of our amazing latent sensuality to the surface? I thought you guys were the ones who make us mushy and sentimental? What's up crzydiam63—

I have some cancer men in my family so I??ll just give my 2 cents.

" When a Cancer man opens up to you and exposes his vulnerability, is that just something he will do with anyone? "

The ones I know will do anything to hide their vulnerability. They will try to act too cool for school-kind of. However, the young ones will whine, in a cool emo - kind of way to try to get your sympathy so that they can get away with being lazy/moody/ and so on... Being whiney and showing vulnerability is not the same, so it depends on wich one it is in this case.


"Also, do Cancer men give out compliments easily? In other words, if he compliments you on something you are wearing (and this is the first compliment he gives after knowing you for a long time) could that be a good thing? I know Cancer men can be flirtatious and can go around complimenting anyone but..."

Maybe it's just the guys in my family, but nope, they suck at giving compliments. They usally turn it to an insensetive joke, so they don't have to risk getting sentimental. So I would say that it's definitely a very good thing if a cancer male gives you a sencere compliment on what you??re wearing.

And just as a comment to the above - I have Never seen a cancer man in my family cry, even in times of absolute tragedy, they just don't do that. But maybe it's a cultural thing.. Idk, when I compare the cancers with the scorpios in my family, thescorpios strike me as MORE emotional then the cancers tbh, even if they hide it too. The pisces men, who there are a bunch of among us too, are selfish crybabies and coldhearted, but they are the most charming along with the cancers who can get people to do anything for them.

Thanks TG for your feedback. Yeah, those water men are something else but, gotta love 'em, I guess. I know some Scorpios and I had always read that they were the strongest of the water signs and in some ways I do agree. However, I find that when you get to know them really well, they can be really, really sensitive and just oh so vindictive if they are crossed. LOL.

I didn't miss your point, i got what you said.

What I meant was that for those who

conti...

don't volunteer the information re astrology, she could have seen their birth date down the track and gone "Aw, he's a cancer, of course!", hence noticing the pattern.

I wish astrology had a place in therapy too, it appears to have a lot of scope from what I've seen.

My friend is a life coach, which is totally non-clinical. She uses astrology as part of her sessions with clients and has had fantastic results. I'm all for it too.

Well Virgovixxxen,

I actually am a cappy but if it matters I do have a cancer moon 🙂 No, this Virgo was a true love and I'm sorry we didn't work out. The thing is he just never showed his feelings like NEVER! That's what I meant 🙂 Oh, the latent sensuality was NEVER a problem and that I guess I did help with. It never got old and still isn't, *blushes*

I see. My apologies if I misunderstood you.

Astrology can definitely be used as an important tool in therapy...and should be. Celebrity astrologers Starsky & Cox and authors of "Sextrology", are now offering life coaching "sessions" in NYC. You can book an appointment with them for a small fee and they will do a consulting with you based on your zodiac sign.

Sorry to hear that. It's really hard to get us to open up. It's almost like pulling teeth. I'm sure it was his insecurity that was preventing him from doing so. As a Virgo woman, I don't think that I would ever want to date a Virgo man...would be too much work.
