The Hero - Cancer
Posted by peppymonkee
in other words, a fairy tale that many women envision their men to be and cue -- cancer men. though, i guess they share this with pisces men.
Pisces men are a whole different ball game....

As a rule, most women want a real man, not a boy or a baby they need to take care of. However whilst most women's maternal instinct will be arised when seeing these immature characters on TV, in reality most of them wouldnt marry that man themselves given the opportunity.click to expand
These themes are indoctrinated into a lot of young people.
I wonder what it is a about Cancer men, that some women swoon over.
Cancer men are a woman's downfall 🙂
I know a Cancer that I consider to be a hero. Former Recon Marine (a high speed, ass kickin, Marine combat/reconnaissance unit) that now fights as a security contractor. He is a dedicated mofo, I gotta say. He constantly practices with his own firearms, pays for his own training, doesn't complain about shit that need not be complained of (hates that shit, in fact), he even practices loading and reloading his AK-47 and Glock while watching TV!
It's safe to assume he lives by this creed:
The Private Military Contractor's Creed
I am a U.S. contractor. I look out for myself, the operators to my left and
right, and no one else. I will always take advantage of the fact that I
can finally tell military officers to pound sand, and will do so at every
opportunity.
I am my country's scapegoat, the "plausible deniability"
warrior, and I love it.
Less than $ 700 dollars a day is unacceptable.
I am trained to eat things that would make a billy goat puke, but will
refuse anything less than 60 dollars per diem because I am greedy.
I care not for ribbon's and awards for valor. I do this job for the
opportunity to kill the enemies of my country, and to finally get that
boat I've always wanted.
I will be in better shape than 99% of the active duty personnel, although
this is not hard.
I will equip myself with the latest high speed gear, and will trick out
my M4 until it weighs more than 24 lbs, not because it works better, but
because it looks cool in the photographs.
I will carry more weapons, ammunition, and implements of death on my
person, than an infantry fire team, and when engaged I will lay waste to
everything around me.
In any combat zone, I will always locate the swimming pool, beer, and
women, because I can.
I will deploy on my terms, and if it ever gets too stupid,
I will simply find another company that pays me more.
I swear!
Yeah, that shit sounds awesome. I hope to meet his ass some day!

I mean, I spoke to him a few times, at least. I don't really know as in met him in person yet.

Cancer male = childish, wishes to be babied
Pisces male = mature, typically ladies man
The key difference as brief as I can put it.
Basically, I'd say they both have womanising streaks, but from my experiences, the Pisces man has much greater success.

piscesargie, are the emotions of a cancer attracted you to them? would you consider their emotional temperament to be similar to pisces men?click to expand
Yep , I love the tough exterior, macho style , combined with emotions.
Pisces men are emotional too, but they are not so tough , Crabs can be practical and emotional, Fish can't.
If I dated a Pisces guy there would be way too much water and emotion, we would drown!
I like very masculine men, and Pisces men aren't , in the traditional way. They are lovely, understandign and all, but I need the very masculine figure to be attracted sexually. The psychologist type doesnt turn me on , haha!!!
No Squall Leonheart—??!!!—!?!
C'mon...
At the beginning of Final Fantasy VIII, Squall is known as a "lone wolf" by his peers because he never shows his feelings[4][11] and even comes off as cold to his allies.[12] His superiors, such as his teacher, Quistis Trepe, consider him difficult to deal with but greatly respect his natural talents.[13][14] He is also known to be stoic in many situations.[15] His taciturn attitude is also used for comic relief. In the cutscene where he first meets Rinoa, she coerces him into dancing with her at the SeeD graduation ball.[16] He awkwardly bumps into other party-goers while staring constantly at his feet with a look of confusion. Rinoa, however, perseveres in partnering him, and Squall eventually reveals that he's quite capable of dancing, as it is a mandatory aspect of his training.[17]
Squall is unwillingly dragged into the role of the hero when Cid, headmaster of Balamb Garden, appoints him as leader of the academy midway through the game.[18] He is often thrown into a leadership role, as is evident in the Timber and Galbadia missions. During a late battle against Galbadia Garden, Squall demonstrates some leadership difficulties, which are tied to his lingering isolationism.[19][20] Likewise, other characters make efforts to pull him out of his isolation and Rinoa expends a lot of energy to pursue a relationship with him. It takes considerable time for him to accept the others' offered friendship and fall in love with Rinoa and care for her.[21] As time progresses, he grows more comfortable with the leadership role, especially when it comes time to defeat Ultimecia, the antagonist.[22]
According to flashbacks in the game, Squall grew up in an orphanage, along with the other playable characters excepting Rinoa. They were looked after by Edea. Though he remembers little of this past, it causes him to develop into an emotionally detached, highly cynical and introverted boy; his original goal is to go through life without any emotional links or dependencies.[25] However, Squall gradually warms as the game progresses, and it is later revealed that his deliberate detachment from his companions is a defensive mechanism to protect himself from emotional pain, like he experienced when his older sister figure at the orphanage, one of the sole emotional supports in his early life, was forcibly separated from him.[26][27]

LoL
Reception to Squall as a character has been mixed. IGN stated that "the problem [with Final Fantasy VIII] is that the character at the heart of everything, Squall, is basically a pouty jerk", adding "when your story is character centered, you'd better center it on a character the audience can care about. Squall... just doesn't fit the bill".[39] 1UP.com ranked Squall second on their list of the "Top 5 Most Irritating RPG Protagonists", stating that while Squall was an attempt to "cater to the fedora-wearing, trench-coat clad folks", his lack of social skills tends to alienate players towards the character.[40] Edge compared his character with the Final Fantasy VII protagonist Cloud Strife criticizing that Squall's anger "didn't seem to have any context" unlike Cloud's angst which was developed by one of the central events from Final Fantasy VII. His relation with Rinoa also received negative comments, as Edge states "he [Squall] suddenly falls in "love" with [Rinoa] at the end [of Final Fantasy VIII]."[41] A more comical comparison was made by GamesRadar in their "RPG Emo-Off", in which Squall was defeated by Cloud due to their reasons for their angst.[42] Squall was also featured in 1UP's article "Top 5 Final Fantasy Character Types" in which he was in the 2nd category, "The Sullen Asshole", alongside with Cloud and Cecil from Final Fantasy IV.[43] GameSpy featured him in their comical feature "Videogame Characters Who Would Suck in Real Life" in which they stated Squall would be a terrible soldier in real life.[44]

GameSpot noted that while the character could be regarded as simply a "jerk", he could alternatively be viewed as "standoffish because of some repressed Wagnerian broodiness, in which case he was kind of interesting".[48] Allgame noted that while initially hating his character for coming across as "cold and uncaring", the character's romance caused him to change in a positive manner.[49] GameDaily ranked him sixth on their list of the "Top 25 Gaming Hunks", stating that while critics described the character as a "jerk", his character design, notably his scar, made him visually appealing.[50]
I was 18 when the game came out and I wondered why they'd make a character like me. I hated the gameplay but I'd love to give it another go for the story and some of the locations. And nostalgia, of course. 😉
I found Cloud was like a Virgo.
Squall comes off Virgo like too, but yeah, the stuff about his childhood and clumsiness makes him more Cancer like lol

I agree. Pisces men rock!!!! 🙂 *is that drool on my lap?*
Cancers are my heroes lol No joke, they have your back no matter what.
You can call them any time of day or night and they will be there... guaranteed!
You can say what you will about their emotional states and what not.. but
you can trust them to get you out of a mess if need be. It's going to be
done.. they're just incredibly efficient.
I speak from experience only. Nevermind that you may want to choke them at times.
That's just irrelevant lol

I find it odd all these heroes are about immature emotional men who must face struggles to mature and in the end win the girl and save the day. Why is this theme so... widespread?
