Confrontations Involving Cap Males

After reading up on these men, I am curious about something.

In a confrontation with a Cap male, do they want a tiger who will go toe-to-toe with them or a
soft-eyed doe? Because I am encountering both in online descriptions: Some say that he
wants a "worthy opponent," others that he likes "sweet, sensitive" Cancers.

As a Cap woman, I lose respect for the guy IMMEDIATELY if he is a wimp. However, that is different
because everyone expects men to act manly.

So, I'm curious. What say ye?

I think that really depends on the person. Scorpio and Cancer are two of the best matches for Capricorn and they tend to show both these extremes.

If you can stand up for your own rights we respect you. If however we think you are wrong it's better to stand down, agree and deal with it later.

"You can stand up to Capricorn, but don't defend yourself. You must make sure you let him know that yes, he's right, and that you will immediately make the appropriate changes.

ESSENTIAL
The juxtaposition here is that Capricorn — man or woman, alike — wants a vulnerable, soft mate who will be dependent and reliable at the same time ??_ emotionally and financially.

If you don't, Capricorn will think you have your own agenda — one that doesn't agree with his. He will never appreciate this about you the way other independent cardinal signs like Aries or Libra would. Capricorn needs to dominate — especially Capricorn man. So let Capricorns in general think they're in charge — especially with money issues."

It's more like a balance of power. I want someone that sticks up to what they believe in. Not someone that wants everything their way or someone that wants to please me in everyway. I respect a strong woman that has the ability to compromise and use common sense so that both parties achieve something in return. Relationships should be an equal effort. Not 60/30 nor 90/10, but 50/50... I give power to get it in return.

Oh, I didn't like my early morning, pre-coffee grumpy tone there. Firstly I just wanted to comment on the Manly assumption, that probably varies culturally and it depends on how you define manly. With age, I respect anyone who can keep a calm tone and demeanor and balance assertiveness with a befriend or negotiate approach. I lose respect IMMEDIATELY if a guy in any way comes across as something that even slightly reminds me of a cro-magnon.

I know I'm not a male Cap.🙂 but from my observation, a calm, assertive tone combined with intelligent arguments seems to be what they respect.

Good morning! Glad you've now had your java. 😉

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. RE the "manly" thing, I think you need to read some more anthropology literature. You
seem to have fallen for the B.S. about Cro-Magnons being brutal beasts who conquered the peaceful Neanderthals. Actually, based on some artifacts, it appears that the opposite may be true. Fact is, we don't know because we weren't there. But there IS a faction within anthropologic circles which has an AGENDA to push that myth.

I appreciate your feedback. Calm and assertive sounds about right. That said, the guy in question has some Scorpio
in his chart, which may alter the picture somewhat.

Stand up to him, privately, without being nasty, dramatic or making a scene.
Capricorn people like assertive people. We do not like to argue with people. We do not like messy, dramatic scenes, or to be embarrassed in public.

Some of the prevailing theories either think one side killed the other or they shagged each other and went one as one species. 😛
