Things that you love about your cancer (wo)man

Be as specific or non-specific as you want. :-p

This is the topic where you can share the fluffy, positive things that you cherish/appreciate/adore/etc. about your crustaceous comrade.

Recently developed a bond with a Cancer dude, who is a fellow travel and art afficionado. We're currently in that early stage of 'dating' and canoodling. I appreciate the quiet moments where we're wordlessly cuddling, pulling each other close, and just being in each other's presence. There are other little things that I cherish, but I'll open the floor to others first. :-)

She's not my woman but I have much love for their boobs.


Yes, im joking...... actually im not, u get the point...

Nothing like having jokes with a Cancer guy. I always almost pee my pants.

My cancer guy was super sweet and affectionate. And very generous with gifts. I just didn't feel as tho he was the one... But I know that he will make some lucky lady very happy.

CluelessCancer: Yeah, the "momma's boy" aspect can be a dealbreaker (and understandably so).

PMLTH: LOL. Well, I haven't consciously taken notice of Cancer women's jubblies, but it's certainly a physical feature worth appreciating. :-p

Aquavita: Maybe someday you will have yourself a sweet Cancer man. In the meantime, might be time for a cold shower!

Kissmygrits: Yes! I concur. Mr. Crab is such a goofball, it catches me off guard sometimes.

Gemican01: Aww, they can be sweet souls, indeed.

Cancergoddess143: he will likely make someone very happy. I hope that you've found someone who you consider 'the one'!

Some other things that I appreciate/cherish/etc.:
-Having some sort of unspoken understanding; a lot of pleasant, comfortable, go-with-the-flow interaction, without being boring or dull.
-Those precious moments. I could over-analyze (as I have a tendency to do) or worry that everything will fall apart before it even begins, but instead, I've forced myself to be present and honestly appreciate fleeting moments. After taking a walk to the park on a starry night, letting him rest his head on my lap, looking up at the stars, listening to the sounds of crickets, watching him fall into a peaceful sleep and rest for a while... Even if it all ends abruptly, at least there were moments like that one.

Keep the positive stuff coming! It might be nice to detract from the "Cancer Men! Grumblegrumble" types of posts. :-p

Good post! Well I was with a cancer in the past, but what things I remember the most...hmmmmm. Where do I even start? He was very masculine and manly but yet very soft and gentle (down to his soft caresses to his soft spokenness to his soft/subtle ways of dealing with heavy life issues). I never really knew what was going on behind his curtain, he did a good job of (mostly) keeping his calm in his hardest of times and still was mentally strong enough to continue to romance me. This quality of his made him memorable. He was very emotional but also very in control of his emotions. This worked out really well because he always knew what to do or say and when to do it and how to do it, he was a pro at making me and others feel connected to him or privileged or like royalty (he was always gracious with everyone). Ohhhh! And the gift giving— I never needed to ask for anything or subtly remind him of an oncoming bday or something. He already knew, had the perfect gift, and had the perfect night planned. He also made me feel like a queen because he always paid for things and never made me have to ask for him to step up (always so mindful). Wow! As I write this this is taking me back down memory lane. Ohhhh ohhhh! I loved how he would naturally know what my body needed. Sex, sickness, cramps, hunger, irritability, depression, tension in my muscles, you name it! I never had to really tell him my needs, even my bodily! He just naturally knew what to do with me and never really had to speak one word to me about it, he just did what he had to do, left me there pleased and relaxed and that was that. It really did feel like that fairytale type of love. You know when a child is tired and irritable and needs to go take a nap but won't because they're so afraid they'll miss something and try to stay awake, in a shitty mood and then the mama takes the baby, sings to it, cradles it, rubs it's back, breast feeds it, burps it, wraps it in her arms and rocks it until it gently falls asleep and the baby is forced to surrender and finally get that peaceful sleep the baby had been wanting all along? And the mom used her maternal instincts to put that baby down without the bby even realizing what was happening until his eyes slowly started to close? And now the baby is asleep is mommy's warm embrace and mommy is watching child sleep, smiling to herself, wondering why that child thought he could actually stay awake and resist her but still loves the child, nap or no nap? And then

Child wakes up well rested wondering why he resisted in the first place. Mommy starts making funny faces to make the kid laugh, offering child homemade pur?ed baby food? THISSSSS is how it feels to love a more evolved cancer. You never know what will hit you until it does and cancer will feed your needs and wants without you really realizing that until it's too late, you're already in too deep. They will love you like a no other (not even like themselves)!!!!

Not sure if this is a cancer thing but he was talented, he could literally do anything he put his mind to. He was good with his hands and good with his brain and that mixed into having A LOT of talent. He also got along with almost anyone from any walk of life. Also very funny and charming. And the SEX!!!! Oh my...it was without a shadow of a doubt the best I've ever had. There was never a dull moment with him. He made me feel things in places I didn't think people could reach.

Ok seriously I need to stop digging in the past.

Glad to read some nice things about Cancer dudes (yes I know Ms Aquavita...you've been complimentary often and thanks, although sometimes a little eyebrow raising ).
More often than not I get the impression on the grumble threads it has more to do with the OP than the subject of their post.

Thanks again for posting. 🙂

StarMooney, your cancer guy sounds perfect! What happened and why aren't you both together?

I've never dated a fellow crab, but yes, we do tend to spoil the people we love. Not to brag or anything....but, yeah, we're great gift givers, need fillers, etc. 🙂

Quit advertising your man, Scorp!
Especially on the cancer board. Haven't you heard? We're a bunch of man stealers!!!

Cancer men are sweet and funny —

Which makes up for the times they are mean and crabby

DAMNNN infinite 8 you got me beat!!! He sounds like a Prince Charming indeed. Wow! You're blessed! That one made me almost rethink my relationship choice! WOW!

But but Moonartist, I broke up with my cancer because I was younger back then and didn't know how to handle so much genuine love from one person and ended up messing with his trust and he never really came back around. 😢

awww! look at the love!

Yes kim31, it's a beautiful thing. I think I might reach out to my old cancer guy

You better!

I dated a cancer guy for a very short time because I went back to my libra but omg this cancer guy was the sweetest! He would walk me to the door & surprise me with cute little things....I'll always feel terrible for hurting such a sweet soul. He was funny, cute, & a gentlemen aughhh 🙂

What was it that made you feel like he wasn't the one?

That's sad! 😢

At least he gave you an idea of what to look for in the future, though.

StarMooney: Thanks for gushing about your old Cancer beau. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out, but it seems that you're considering getting in touch with him again, so good luck! ::Hugs::

CancerOnTheCusp: Yeah, the grumbly threads certainly have more to do with the issues of the OP, rather than the subject of their posts. However, seeing the frequency of complaints and not-so-positive stuff is a downer; why not share the positive stuff once in a while? :-p Glad to post, and hope that you enjoyed reading the comments thus far.

Infinite8: D'ohhh...! Sounds like you found a truly beautiful man (Cancer or no, he seems like a great human being)! Agree that Cancer guys can truly be treasures.

Wynter: Yep! Sometimes I'm put off by the Grumpy McGrumppants moodiness, but the sweet and funny side makes up for it. :-p

Feeling the love on this thread.

I'm currently dating a cancer and everything good y'all listed is true. The chemistry between us is beyond too good to be true. I have a question though. We've only been dating for a month in a half and he already wants to make things exclusive between us. He has even spoke about making me his stay at home wife in the future. Lol. Is this normal for a cancer who's suppose to be reserved and cautious?

Caution. What is his background?

Can you elaborate on what is his background? Thanks

Do you know what his past relationships were like? (Like quantity in terms of lots Ot none).
I could see the exclusivity thing after a month and a half, just seems a little fast moving.
I'm just curious more than anything.

My thoughts precisely. He says he was an asshole as far as being a ladies man when he was younger but now that he's older (26) he's been looking for a mature woman with a head on her shoulders that he could build with. His parents are still together and he doesn't want children until he's married so that at least shows he has values. He's super sensitivity though, very clingy and loves being with me a lot which is unusual compared to the cancer males I know. It's a bit overwhelming sometimes. Oh and he's suppose to be moving to Chicago for a year to help his dad out with his business so why be into a girl and catch feelings for her if your moving? Any thoughts on that? Here's his chart if this helps.

Sun Cancer Ascendant Leo
Moon Virgo II Virgo
Mercury Cancer III Virgo
Venus Gemini IV Scorpio
Mars Aries V Sagittarius
Jupiter Taurus VI Capricorn
Saturn Sagittarius VII Aquarius
Uranus Sagittarius VIII Pisces
Neptune Capricorn IX Pisces
Pluto Scorpio Midheaven Taurus
Lilith Virgo XI Gemini
Asc node Pisces XII Cancer

TP5 well it wasn't really him it was me, I just wasn't ready to hop to the next yet. As a cancer that has always been hard for me & a bit of my down fall I must admit.

Don't feel too bad about it. You're not the only one and sometimes we can't help who we love/like
