your experiences with cancers

Well as the topic title says, what have been your experiences with cancers, whether in relationships, as friends, workmates, or family members.

Im currently romantically involved with a Cancer and this is my first time. I have a Cancer friend who I loved to debate with because he could keep up with me and his accent was crazy sexy. I had a Cancer "friend" growing up. When we were kids I thought she was a whiney baby but she's grown into an intelligent only moderately whiney woman.

I've been in too many relationships with Cancer Men and just when I think I'm done with one Cancer Man, another one comes. Don't get me wrong Cancer Men are some of the sweetest guys in the world, but I just seem to hurt there little feelings all the time and then they become distance. One of my good friends is a Cancer Woman and we disagree a lot with each other. Everything seems to hurt some Cancer ppl feelings, but I have had many encounters with Cancer ppl and they seem to want to do & say hurtful things to others, but when someone do them wrong in any kind of way, they hide in there little shells.

Most Cancers that I know are shy. I had a female Cancer friend in highschool, we loved each other. She loved to talk and I loved to listen, so we worked out well as friends.

I know a couple of Cancer males. One of my Cancer male friends is so giving and he is always around when I need male advice. He's a bit shy and has a hard time meeting and dating women. But he will make a woman very happy once he gets over his fears. I notice how they are shy, yet at the same time... they have this extroverted quality about them. I think that's what amazes me the most.

My boss is a male and is a Cancer and he is WAY TOO smothering at times. He is extremely intelligent and i have learned a lot from him ... and there is comfort/security in my job ... but his smothering, fatherly ways are preventing me from moving forward in my career. I work in a male dominated industry (basically a Boys Club).

His sweetness makes me feel great loyalty to him, but at what price. I really should move on...

We have known each other for a very long time, and sometimes i can be a bit abrupt and hurt is feelings. Over the years, i have had to learn to bite my tongue ... a lot. OUCH!

I've become good friends with two this year. I knew one since I was a little girl, but for many years we didn't see each other. When I was younger, I admired him. All I did was smile at his face, which fifty feet above me. Now as we talk, I'm beginning to learn about the real man he is. He talks a lot about old memories and his family. While I do love my family (mind one), I'm not so extremely close to them. It's not as sentimental. But we have good conversations and a great understanding considering his Moon sign. He's a good man I'll always respect.
The other one is opposite in age. She's actually from Japan. She, also, is very close to her family. You might even say her mother is stuck at her hip. Her other dominates her ways and thinking, but she's happy to see me when I come to visit. It's freeing because I take her places like the convenience store, and her mother never buys her candy. She seems to be entertained when we play baseball or when we're taken to dinner. She is VERY dependent on me, and I almost want to run away sometimes, but it's good for her. She needs someone, and I have to sacrifice myself for that.

Too much for me to write down this morning.

Overall Cancer's are okay in very small doses...

Too Tempramental

Not all but a HUGE MAJORITY!

Hi I am a sagittarius female and my best friend is a male cancer he is an extremely devoted friend with consideration for me and my fam....but he can be moody and distant ....so we just stop associating for week or so then we start over until his next mood swing...but even me as a sag i can be highly emotional and detached at the same time so astrology is not always accurate because they say sags are always positive and happy go lucky and i am... but at times io cry easily

quo I dont know how you figured these we're stereotypes, if you read the title of the boards its "experiences with" so these arent stereotypes, these are experiences with specific people that were born under the sign of Cancer. I dont see anyone saying that all cancers are like this on this board though many repeated attributes can be found in "expert" sign profiles.

The moral of my story is, I didn't base my opinion of all African Americans by the few that I knew at 19, and I am glad I didn't. I went on to meet some really terrific members of that community.

Did you have a chance to learn what their sun signs were? lol

What was your point Quo Vadis? the question was about a f**king sun sign and thats so retarded of you to reply to the question with something so ignorant like that as if what was said was hurting anyone, but I think, "NEVER MIND" I know this is the only place you got the courage to express some crap like this huh— On F**king Line/ON A COMPUTER because if you express some stupid stuff like this offline, you probably will be able to add some more Black ppl to that percentage crap your talking about.

quo vadis just likes to call people nasty names like bigot....... there is no npoint to the ranting except to tell us all how horrible we are...

Hi Quo welcome to the board I hope you get all of the attention that you are obviously thristing for. I wish you had something better to reel it in with that ignorance but whatever works

and might I add that if anyone said that their experience was indicative of all cancers, then that person alone will have to live with it. As far as I read no one stated that their experience with Cancers was one to be a precedent for their dealings with Cancers because the truth of everyday life is that we deal with hundreds of people who's sun signs we never know. If you have to exaggerate an argument to the point of absurdity then you usually dont have a very good argument.

okay...well the two things I pull from those statements are "SEEMS" and "NOT ALL".... but quo vadis seems to me to be one of those people who just has a chip on their shoulder and thinks EVERYTHING about prejudice and discrimination.....
in high school I didn't like this kid dominic because he was a complete ass - he also HAPPENED to be black....you know people asked me? "you don't like dominic? are you racist?"
I don't know sweet...what do you think ?
some people just look for reasons to call people things like bigot and racist and prejudiced....when they really aren't....

and no quo - I don't have a stick up my ass about religion - if you had bothered to read any of the conversation that you were so vehemently admonishing me for you would have noticed that I was DEFENDING mormonism against the staement that mormons are creepy because they are closed minded....but why bother with trivial details like that right ?

was that enough attention for you ? I've got other things to do tto.

There was no exageration on my part. I quoted these two statements, changing the word Cancer respectively to Black and Latino.

Quo, I agree with Sweet... your statement is a bit over amplified. Race is a hazardous subject matter, one that can never be measured against a simple conversation relating to astrological traits and attributes.

I don't know a group of Cancer's who decided to enslave a group of Scorpio's. (Although I think they may like that very much LOL)

Or a group of Aquarians who decide it's okay to give into their belief's of superiority by killing groups of Capricorns by lethal injection or gas.

I understand your argument, but your show of illustration certainly is unpolished, unrefined and tasteless... like Gatorade.

I understand your point, but goodnite, God bless and come again.

My feelings about cancers are simple: Can't live with them...Can't live without them!

Right Quo just go all the way back to your first interjection to reply to a statement I made against a later interjection. lol I wasn't even talking about switching a few words, I was talking bout the use of numbers,statistics and stereotypes that no one on this board used before you blew the topic out of proportion. I do agree with you slightly that we should avoid the use of "all, never, none, and always" in most conversations because that extreme is rarely verified, but that's not to say that people that use those words are bigots, racists, prejudice or ever stereotypists (unless thats the context of the conversation). You clearly took this subject out of context when you infered that this was so.

Angel some people just want something to debate, they can't just look at something and disagree and then state their opinion or move on. They just simply have to say SOMETHING to spark that debate. While others turn even molehill into a mountain. Thankfully not everyone is like that.

my philosophy is that humans are conflict-loving mammals, always looking for a reason not to like something, so they can fight it, and believe they are getting stronger.

i'm just waiting for the rapture to happen so this earth can start anew.

Me too and that's a wonderful philosophy.

very good pov Merc "so they can fight and think they are getting stronger"

SoNot this isnt even prejudice, this is sharing experiences. No one said that all Cancers are like anything based on these experiences we are just sharing experiences. And people learn from experience so I guess even if you arent prejudice or mean to be people expect a similar person, place, or thing to be SOMEWHAT like its precedent.

I have met some black people that are lazy and loud, I have met some Mexicans that are illegal and dont speak English, and I have met some white people that think they run the world and everything on it, these are facts....but does that mean that I will PRE JUDGE the next black, mexican or white person to be like this...umm no it doesnt. Quo made a valid point but it didnt even pertain to this subject. He/she was using the topic of this board out of context and misconstruing the replies to fit the context that he/she wanted them to.

lol Merc thats inhumane, it is an object.

You have made a good point...and it could be some type of program that was designed to call everyone either prejudice, close minded or bigotted and record their replies..so then it wooould be an it not a he or a she...but for the sake of keeping things realistic (maybe this new trend will catch on) I think we should call it a...shim (she/him) or a heer (he/her).

SoNot...who typed those things? or are you making up quotes to reply to?

oh wait I think I got it now, so what you meant to do was start a new topic where that post would be more relevant because once again it DOES apply to this topic...but only when this topic and its posts are taken out of context and blown out of proportion. And if I recall you posted a reply on this topic...

smh dont quote one person to call a whole board wrong, tell that person you disagree with them. smh

well wait, let me not tell you what to do...just....I dont see how you can pull one persons quotes and say it applies to a whole topic

"Judging by the reaction, QV has made a valid point.

By mocking/imitating the above, he has demonstrated that judging others based on their sign can be compared to racism, as it is just another form of xenophobia. He simply used a more publically sensitive issue as his example. Actually, I would (and have in former posts) argue that it is even more baseless than racism."


Judging by the reaction there are some people on this board that dont want to be called something they're not and they dont want something they said misconstrued to show them as such. (speaking for myself)

Judging someone by their sign can be compared to a lot of things, but no one was judging anyone by their sign or worse ,what heem was implying, prejudging people by their sign, in fact people were doing the opposite, they were evaluating their experiences with someone of a particular sign after having met them and sharing their findings.

Just came over here to say whats up to SF and Notso.

Hay Mai *wave*

if not here....if not here then why bring it up here...which was my point.

I think moon made a valid point... I mean we say all men are born with an x and y chromosome and all women are born with two x hromosomes - but in reality have we checked EVERY man and woman to be sure ? that's impractical.... SF also made the very valid point that quo's argument had nothing to do with this thread because the OP asked about people's experiences - and you can't tell someone they're wrong about their own experinces....
and in saying that in "any other topic his arguement would be valid" aren't you doing the same thing that both of you are railing against ? I can find several topics at least where that is not true.

"scientific theory"

oh.... I get it.... if you label something as "scientific" it's okay to generalize about common experiences - so I guess if we start refering to astrology as science then we will not be stereotyping.......

no moon - I want be FAIR - so you can try to prove your theories and I will shoot them down as being steotyping or pre-judging

maybe - but it does nothing to detract from it.

I'm not grasping at anything - I think there is a very big difference between discussing similarites in certain signs and calling people things like racist, bigot, prejudiced, etc.... I don't mind when someone says all taurus are stubbor - I say "hell yeah and I'm the MOST stubborn one you'll ever meet"

butterms that specifically carry EXTREMELY negative and hurtful connotations and which are designed to imply that you are a bad person.... well yes that does upset me.

I know moon - I WAS being sarcastic

it's like curse words.... why are they bad? because of the INTENTION in using them - if you use a different word - like shoot instead of shit - what's the difference between the two ? the only difference is that you KNOW that shit is a curse word and that's why you used it or didn't use it - same thing with terms like racist and bigot and prejudiced - we use these words because of their KNOWN negative connotations.

*adding my whacks to the bush* I've determined that the comments insinuating that folks on posting on this topic were prejudice or stereotyping werent directed towards me lol. *tossing lovies* I agree with some of the points just not the presentation and I also like the color blue but not navy.

"It seems that you are saying you would rather someone not say what they truly mean, or to censor their statements in order to avoid offending others. That is insincere. I won't tailor my words to suit personal sentiments. "

that is not what I am saying.

hmmmmm.....you're right!

lol SoNot you have too much water in your chart...can Bulls swim?

notso, why must you always be so darn...CORRECT!? it must be tough.

I don't know if bulls can swim - but I'm sure they can wade across rivers....

someone has to keep your tush in line! *flatters herself* 😛

sweetestfatale, i doubt you care, but i think i got the wrong impression of you on the michael vick thread. you seem very levelheaded and non-dramatical, and basically i think yer cewl. i'm sorry i was such a brat on that thread. 😢

notso, flava flave has some SICK vocabulary. don't knock it if ya don't jock it. 😉

lol its ok Wheel, believe I dont hold anyone's opinions against them because I have plenty my own that I know others dont agree with. I just like to make people have to at least THINK about my opinions (hehe).

lol SoNot I knew about your water because of the sun/moon/rising topic, dont be scared of bulls...I've never heard of them attacking people that werent in their personal space.

lol calling everyone by their dyslexic names like Yoda makes me feel. Sorry, do that I just had to.

hmmm....you're right again. Im going to seriously have to remember that quote.

Flavor of Love is actually quite tacky and pointless, but I LOVED watching Strange Love. Him and Getta were soooOoOooOO cute.
