This is one funny topic. Always nice exposing the Libran hypocrits for what they are

Ive yet to see anyone do that, havent seen it yet I'm afraid, seen many other things to that I think are also rather amusing......

Libra: I'm so awesome worship me. I care about humanity.
There are a few signs with this attitude on the board, not sure any of them are Libra

Libra: Yes I do, I am also very hot and loyal
It's a shame you are not

But you cheated on your old man.
Not me....

Did you talk to him about it.
I did, but he's a man he didn't listen

How can he know when you never said anything.
I did but he was watching football at the time.....

other sign: Tell me what I think of the current government in Uganda, and its effects on the Northern region of Africa.

Why didn't you tell me this was your interest, I will admit I don't know much about this but I'll endeavour to find out....

Libra: How rude and judgemental!

Thats because you are.....

Next question

Did the original poster ever come back to this board?

Hi LS how the devil are you—?

I am good.

My move went really well. I LOVE the new place. Now to find a better job and I will have acomplished everything better.

You know I hate to admit it and don't tell those horrible men who hate us....you knoow the ones that i mean but I guess relationships are very difficult for us, mostly I love being Librian but sometimes I hate it, if you know what i mean.....

Relationships are meant to be hard, especially for Libra because we learn all our lessons through relationships. This is why we are the relationship sign. We also understand people and their motivations because we are the most empathetic. As a result, we understand their side as well as our own.

I have yet to meet a Libra who fits the description people give us here, but then, there are a lot of immature people on this board.

i think it is best to just ignore them--esp when you are not really dishing it out ...it is one thing to go after someone, (you should expect a backlash) but another to be discussing. I notice some really annoying things on these boards, with one sign in particular, who thinks they are so above the other signs, but i dont really care enough to go on to their board and start freaking out about it. You dont really know what is going on in other people's lives or what is really bothering them. Sometimes it is hard to express yourself on these boards...

Yes.

People lack compassion and understanding. They really expect life to be easy and deal only in black and white. Life is nothing but grey.

In other words, there just isn't enough litium in the world ... lol!

I know you are so right, but my culture dictates the opposite, honestly I try to stop myself but I just feel the need to fight our/my corner, I reckon I don't do too bad tho...lol

Anyway girlees, it's gettin kinda late over my end so will say my goodnights and make my exit. Nighty night..

I hear you. A person does have to stand up for themselves...but sometimes i think it is more effective to ignore so that they really have nowhere to go with their argument. Some people are just angry and bitter and there is nothing you can do about it.

Yeah! What she said. lol!

Have a good night!

Libra debate methods 101.

Absolutely brilliant! You described my Libran experience to a "T". Were you secretly taping? I can't believe I put with 3 years of that immature bullsh*t.

Libran ladies, you will only become the perfect woman when you master the basics of communication. Until then, you are just a pretty painting...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hear you, I was angry and bitter before I got here a few days ago, now I'm feeling much better. I hope none of you have interpreted my posts as personal attacks, that was never my intent. It's just nice to find a group of like-minded individuals to converse with, even if it is through the anonymity of Al Gore's internet.

No one person exactly fits the description of their sun sign, but it does seem to be a accurate predictor of general behavior. Astrology obviously isn't a science, but there does appear to be some truth to it. You ladies must think so too, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Now it's time to graduate to the major leagues of the Scorpio board. I promise to leave you ladies alone so that you can post about the important things in life: shoes, chocolate, workplace trysts, etc., etc.

Those guys are going to rip me to shreds, I can't wait 😉 ...

Yep. I am talking of others.

I work with 9 Libras. Only two are men and I don't know them well. The 4 married ones are working to support their artist husbands. One has been with her husband, a leo, since she was 14 and has never, ever seconded guessed. Another works two jobs to support her husband's photography business because that is his dream. Another, saved up for over a year to pay for a writer's conference in another country because his dream is to be a writer. These are people I see everyday who never once complain. Hell, even I helped put an ex through school, and I am very happy I did.

Despite all of your misguided perceptions, they don't own designer clothes. They don't shop till they drop. Their shoes come from payless, because they love their partners and are supporting his aspirations.

If you had actually read any astrology, Libra is the most likely to do this and makes the best corporate wife because ... we support our partners.

So to all the men who bitch about women taking from them ... really ... what have you ever given to any woman?

I rest my case.

'..So to all the men who bitch about women taking from them ... really ... what have you ever given to any woman?...'

EXACTLY im with u on that... all nice men out their NEVER complain about women taking from them.. itz usually the SELFISH mean ones who think women are after their money...wen most of the time its them 😛... men can be ...well ARE golddiggers too these dayz...

But again back to the original post... nothing JUSTIFIES ur wanting to cheat on ur man... if ur not happy with him ..LEAVE him...

and i agree with primegen shes already mentally cheating on her man...

little_sparrow

I never said that Librans were addicted to shopping or designer clothes. I admired how my ex made the most of her limited income (she is a teacher) and always looked stunning. However, you are correct that Libran women do support their partners, emotionally and financially, in their endeavors, however misguided they may be. I was the first boyfriend that didn't sponge off of her and spoiled her instead.

I have read my fair share of astrology books and all point out the Libra penchant to suppress their true feelings in the interest of harmony. What I've been trying to point out, perhaps unsuccessfully, is that usually leads to more problems than it solves. I love everything about Libran women except for that. Great advances have been made in technology, but most men still don't have telepathic abilities. A Libran woman that could communicate effectively instead of diplomatically would truly be the perfect woman...

This isn't a discussion about gold-digging, it's a discussion of the ages-old problem of adult communication between a man and woman. If you feel that you've been taken advantage of in previous relations, it might be time to reevaluate what you're looking for in a partner.

Go back and read branh0913's post about Libra debate methods 101 and tell me that you haven't done that at least once in your life...

My post was more for other people.

No hard feelings, you truly seem like a nice person. However, I do need to leave this thread as my nerd output has suffered greatly since finding this board. But this whole discussion reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite movies:

As Good As It Gets, released in 1997 starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt (why does she always look like she just sucked on a lemon?). Jack Nicholson plays a misogynistic author with a rampant case of OCD who writes romance novels under a female alias to pay the bills. Anyway, he meets the receptionist at his publisher's office, who is surprised to learn that her favorite author is actually a man. She asks him how, as a man, he writes women so well. He says, "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

Hi everyone. I'm back after a long time not visiting this message board.

I just wanted to let you know that the attaction thing with the Aries lasted like, two days, and that was it. Basically nothing happened and I wouldn't have wanted it to. I am completely uninterested in this guy (I never was interested,I was just going through a time when I wanted reassurance that I have still got the look!)

I can assure you that I would NEVER cheat on my hubbie, he is the best thing ever and we have always been faithful to one another. He's giving me everything I want, so no I am not looking for something that might be missing from my relationship.

I know some non-librans don't understand this, who can blame them, its complicated, but basically we do want to be attractive to absolutely everyone, but remaining 100% faithful and committed and worship the one we love! My hubbie says he would be very offended if other guys didn't find me attractive! Most partners of librans would agree when I ask if they get approached by complete strangers and told how gorgeous their libran partner is, both my hubbie and I find that a great ego boost.

Hopefully most librans will know what I mean by the above! Some people might critisise what basically is our need for approval, admiration and sometimes flitatious manners, but unless your'e a libran or understand us, you won't understand and won't believe me when I say I'm 100% committed to my partner.

x

I knew you wouldn't do anything. 🙂

Good for you aqua4libra, it sounds like you have a very good marriage. My Libra ex would often get approached by strangers and I took it as a compliment as well. You poor Librans, the terrible burden of beauty 😉

I hope to land another Libran beauty someday, but alas I have let myself go...

*** I hope to land another Libran beauty someday, but alas I have let myself go...

Hark! What is this?

Someone hand me the smelling salts! I believe Cookie is changing his tune!

😛

I hope to land one, but my next victim will have to pass a rigorous screening process. Until then...

Ha!

My work here is done. lol!

I see a lot of defensiveness and rationalization for why Libran women or Libras behave the way they do, instead of acknowledging the other person's feelings/statements and taking ownership for their part in the relationship.


Does this only equate to Libra's not sure if it does........

self-sacrificing" or "diplomatic" by not sharing certain things with their partner, but in the long run, they're only hurting themselves and being selfish and irresponsible....

Is it selfish and irresponsible to think about the other person, not sure if it is......

*** in order for a relationship to work, people need to be honest and communicate things, otherwise what's the point??

The other way to look at it is, you can't change anyone. People can't fundamentally change who they are because you communicate your dislike for them/their actions. Complaining and nagging only leaves the other person feeling unloved and alienated. Communicating your dissatisfaction only gets you so far.

Perhaps it is more fanciful to expect the other person to change who they are because you are not happy with them.

Just musing.

BTW

"Social interaction with other people is vital to Libran energy. Other people act as reflective mirrors through which Libran energy can learn more about their own ideas and thoughts. Libra generally discovers clarification regarding what they think about a particular matter or situation only after their first hearing what other people think and have to say on the matter."

which is why there is so much debate on this topic.

*** I see a lot of defensiveness and rationalization for why Libran women or Libras behave the way they do, instead of acknowledging the other person's feelings/statements and taking ownership for their part in the relationship.

I am really not getting where you are coming from. We are talking about why Libras feel the need attention from others. People went on a rampage ... we defended everyone's right to their feelings.

I feel the Libras were the only empathetic people on this thread. Everyone attacked the Aqua4 ... the Libras did what they were designed to do ... defended the other side.

Here's a graphical representation of what marriage to the Libran woman I dated would have been like:

I can't believe your relationship was that stormy. There are very few things I care so much about that they are "the hill I am willing to die on". IMO, only the big things are worth bringing up.

BTW the little Leo FINALLY emailed me. Just said he had a rough week and will call this weekend. I STILL don't know if we have a date this Sunday or not. I emailed him back immediately. No response. He has vanished A.G.A.I.N.

Why does it have to be so complicated? Just answer the damn question!!!! Are we getting together on Sunday or not?!?!

This is so stupid, I can't believe I am even involved in it. This is a hill I am willing to die on.

Just to clarify, I emailed him back saying, "What about Sunday?"

QUOTE-------- "People can't read each other's minds (unless you have some sort of special psychic or telekinetic powers), and in order for a relationship to work, people need to be honest and communicate things, otherwise what's the point?? Also, a Libra may see themselves as being "self-sacrificing" or "diplomatic" by not sharing certain things with their partner" ----


I completely disagree with this statement. I am a very honest person (I thought Librans were meant to be the most honest sign?) I tell my partner EVERYTHING!! Yes, I even told him about that stupid attaction thing (which he laughed at), as I can't keep a secret from someone I'm so close too, I would feel guilty. I feel that sharing thoughts, feelings, etc, strengthens a relationship, I am not sure that the above statement describes a libran at all!

I am pretty damn honest. I can't lie. The guilt kills me and everyone knows anyway cause it is written all over my face. I tend to confess eventually anyway. So what is the point? lol!

I, however, don't share everything. Nor do I want everything shared with me.

I would, however, like certain people to share wether or not we have plans on Sunday.

Not that I am bitter.

Hope you hear, Good luck!

Unfortunately, yes. In regards to the Libra need for constant reassurance, when we were first dating I told her one time how beautiful she was and she looked me straight in the eyes and told me that she needed to hear that every day. She was dead serious.

I offered to buy her a parrot, so that he could cover for me in case I forgot.

Perhaps I'm just an insensitive clod 😢

As far as your little Leo, make other plans for Sunday. He'll get the message that if he wants to date an adult he needs to act like one.

aqua4libra, you seem to have excellent communication with your husband. I'm sure that's why your marriage is so successful.

thanks Aqua.

I really wish he would just leave me alone or just be normal. The lack of structure is making me very unhappy. I can't cope with it.

This is why all my successfull relationships have been with Virgos.

*** I told her one time how beautiful she was and she looked me straight in the eyes and told me that she needed to hear that every day. She was dead serious.

lol!

My aqua friend gave me the best dating advice ever. People tell you who they are and the problems you will have with them in the first few dates. Listen to them and believe them. Yours is a perfect example.

Next time. Listen and Believe. 🙂
