First let me say I don't believe in changing yourself for any man. I generally have a take me as I am mentality. If he doesn't like it he can kick rocks. (They never kick rocks)
In my younger years (lol) I had to learn about pisces men the hard way...good old trial and error. Thanks to me you don't have to go thru that. I've developed a fool proof method (lol) of snagging and keeping a pisces male (not sure why you'd want to keep him lol)....
There are a few simple concepts you must grasp before attempting this feat...
1. Pain is pleasure. (This men are masochist)
2. Pleasure is pain. (Nice girls need not apply. You'll end up hurting him and possibly losing all your $ $ and sanity)
Take all the time you need to grasp those concepts. They are very important before you can move on.
Ready?..ok...
So you see this guy... He's hanging in the art bar watching your fav band play sipping on some kind of tea that you've never heard of. He's wearing crochet pants....he's probably a pisces...
You're at the office... You notice this guy at the water cooler. Dressed to the nines...yummy! As he reaches to grab the little cup thingy you notice a tatoo of an eye on his wrist. His office smells like sandalwood. He puts the water in the cup and reaches for an echinacea pill. He's a pisces.
He's hott. But he has no job, no money, and he smokes weed. He lives with somebody from week to week. He's an artist...with no art to show. A musician with no music 4 u 2 hear.... A designer with no designs. Conversation is sooo good. And did I mention he's hott?? He's a pisces.
Thanks for that starfish...she's a smart lady... Any whoo.. back to the regulary scheduled program.
Who are you? You are this hot chick with hair flowing down your back. No makeup..just a little lip gloss. Clear polish.. Everytime you walk people sing "who's that lady" You're wearing a sundress, cute sandals.. & there's an air of mystery about you. Very smooth.. you have "it". Effortlessly...just effortless.
Wait! That's not you, that's me!! (lol)
There are a few qualities about a woman that stand out to a pisces:
1. Beauty (they are "artists" after all) the beauty doesn't have to be in the traditional sense. But beauty none the less.
2. Mystery... u have to have something about you that intrigues.. Contradict yourself! It's intriguing to pisces men. For example it could be a contradition such as A. You are a secretary that plays in a rock band B. You are drop dead gorgeous & men fall all over you but you don't notice it (this one is VERY important..we'll come back to it)
3. Don't be too anxious anout anything. Nonchalance is the name of the game. Smooth. No rush & no worries. You've got this
4. Confidence & a take charge attitude (this is the contradiction to #3 we talked about in #2) This will do wonders when it comes to contradicting yourself. Anything can be pulled off with the right amount of confidence and nonchalance.
5. A good heart.. you can't fake this
6. Brains... but interested in nonconventional ideas such as the occult, astrology, numeroloy, salvia (lol) Guys dig smart chicks. But not knowit alls... (see #3)
[Numerologically speaking if you have a 7 life path or a 7 personality number you're home safe. You may have to work not being such an introvert & know it all tho]
You see him. You want him. Go get him! He's easily led he will come with you. Simple huh? Yeah.. getting him is simple keeping him is simple to but can present itself as a challenge..
If you have most of the above qualities the game is on all you have to do is set the play in motion. Start up an intriguing conversation..."I love your pants... who crotched them?" .... "You look like an artist or something...." "You're office smells great"..
"You look like an artist or something" is an EXCELLENT conversation starter. This will have him reeeeling. He may fall in "love" right then and there.
Cool is the name of the game. Once you lose your cool you lose this guy! Never lay all of your cards out on the table. Keep him guessing. Beware! They are very intuitive. They may know what you're thinking, but he's not confident enough to trust his gut. So he'll keep guessing.
You have him....In the beginning stages:
DO NOT CALL HIM! Ok you can call but not more than 2x per day and 5x per week whichever is less (lol). But answer when he calls you. You will notice an increase or decrease in call volume. This shows you what kind of fish you are dealing with.
I. Decrease: He's pretty nonchalant. He finds you intriguing but he has a little pride about himself. He's not going to let you know he's chasing you. Call him one time, he probably wont pick up... He's "busy". DO NOT CALL HIM AGAIN. Your phone will ring later or the next day and it will be him saying, "did you call me, sorry I missed your call..I was working on my designs" YEAH RIGHT. He will eventually turn into the..
II. Increase: He's losing it. You're on his mind heavily! You are the escape he's been looking for! You called him an artist. You are special. The girl of his dreams and he's not letting you get away. He has to know more, he's craving to know more. DO NOT LET HIM KNOW MORE. But LET HIM KNOW MORE. Contradiction again..
*****************The following is VERY important..PROCEED WITH CAUTION*************
YOU HAVE TO BE HOT & COLD!!! This is why I said nice girls needn't apply. This takes balls. Because he's the sweetest little goldfish that you ever did see. TOO MUCH HEAT AND HE WILL BE THE GREAT WHITE SHARK!!! This is the part that requires a little improvising, I will not release all of my methods on here... Most of them come naturally anyway...I will give you a few pointers to guide you in the right direction.
HOT: After many weeks of him chasing you.. Give into him. Call him regularly. Tell him to pick you up & go to a bar or something. After a round of drinks (that he buys), you buy a round.. look into his eyes. Tell him what you are truely feeling (with your eyes). You are truely digging him, THIS IS NOT FAKE. Kiss him...passionately. After you leave the bar, act coyly. So sweet...tell him, "call me when you get home I want to know you made it home safely". Kiss him again...This can last for about 2 weeks.
COL😱 He calls you after the date. You pick up the phone..right. WRONG. Let it go to voicemail. He'll call you again. You pick up the phone right...WRONG. He'll go thru the night wondering what he did wrong. Call him the next day. Seem distant. He's intuitive he'll ask if you're ok. Say yes. Tell him you'll call him back later tho.
Going from hot to cold is not hard. It's going from the cold back to hot again that requires finesse! Or you might risk looking like a lunatic (which could excite him more now that I think about it).
TRANSITIONING FROM COLD TO HOT AGAIN: Its actually quite simple. Call him and talk to him coyly like nothing ever happened. Ignore all questions of, "what was wrong with you last week", He might think that you may have another man or something but show him now that whatever is attracting your attention is not better than he is. I have my ways of making a man feel special that may not be appropriate for this uh.. message board..lol. No it doeesn't have to involve sex... Anyway, I digress. Make plenty eye contact. Speak to him through your eye contact not your actions or your words.
Slightly reinvent yourself. Take him to a new museum with you. Take him to try the new seaweed smoothie...Keep it fresh. Every so often show him a new side to yourself.
Remember what I said about the men falling all over you but you not noticing it? This is key! All of your movements should be fluid. You shouldn't show your self consciousness in anyway. In other words appear unaware.
SELF CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE NUMBER 1 RELATIONSHIP KILLER.
Think about it.
We all know a guy... we don't know what sign he is because we don't care. He plays by our rules because we don't like him like that. We return his calls sometimes... We go out with him when we're bored or hungry. We keep him in the roledex because maybe he's a good mechanic...or electrician...or maybe he's rich...or funny. But we don't lay our cards all out on the table for him. He exists on a need to know basis. We don't care if he doesn't like it.. we don't care how he might be feeling or how we may look or come across. We really could give 2 shtts.
THIS IS THE GUY THAT WILL NOT LEAVE US ALONE!!! EVER.
Then we know this other guy.. We want to know more about him. We see him and think, is my hair straight. Omg do I have lipstick on my teeth? Should I call him right now or is it too much. Is this dress too revealing? I don't want him to think I'm a sluut. I'll tell him I'm not one. We try so hard. And you know what....he doesn't want us!! But I betcha he's chasing the girl that treats him like we treat the other guy we dont give two shtts about.
No one wins when you spend your time and energy doing things in a relationship that arent natural. There are only degrees of loosing. Honestly, I'm not even sure what kind of Pisces men you speak of when it comes to "catching and keeping" I was involved with a Pisces for two years and it was sweet,gentle,natural and effortless. The only thing that seperated us was distance, but to this day when our paths cross its like nothing ever changed. I will give you credit for being wickedly clever most of the time 🙂
Smh... why are people coming in and throwing salt on the thread? Starfish no disrespect but how many times are you going to say the games won't work. Maybe that's just you and your experience. We got that the first time you stated it.
At this present moment I have about 4 pisces guys in rotation (they are all drawn to me for some strange reason). They are hooked just like the fish they are. It works for me. And it may work for someone else. And like I said I don't look at it as a game.
Besides being biiiiitchiiie and adventurous works on ANY man. Regardless of sign. Some of us are naturally blessed with these qualities and others have to pick it up from people like myself. Those of us that are naturally blessed sometimes hold back because we think that's what men want from us...
But it's not... especially not with the pisces men I have experienced.
I truely think that gemini women are probably the best at keeping pisces men "hooked". These men want to be led and they are a glutton for punishment.
The only thing about gemini & pisces is that pisces will eventually become insecure. Geminis are way to friendly, outgoing, and sociable for the pisces to feel "safe". He'll probably like it at the begining then the jealousy and control will start. And who can control a gemini?!
******PISCES MEN TRAITS (and how to deal with them)...IGNORE AT YOUR OWN RISK**********
1. He hasn't called you for a few days, and when you two talk he's very distant & has a slightly nasty attitude. How should you react?
1A. You shouldn't react. If a child throws a temper tantrum and the parent panics and gives the child what they are crying about this sends a message to the child... "if I throw a tantrum I'll get attention and get what I want". Temper tantrums... (the acting distant, not calling, smart remarks, etc) take the place of real communication. Let him have his moment...DON'T CHASE HIM... he will come around.
1B. Remember sometimes we all need a little space. Everyone deserves some alone time so stop over reacting!
2. You're feeling uneasy and you want some answers. You should just go to him directly and ask him what the deal is. Right?
2a. WRONG. Do you want to get your feelings hurt? He'll do anything to get out of the convo....yawn, change the subject, stop calling you for a few days...etc. Anything that remotely feels like pressure will have this dude running for the hills. Remember the nonchalance..let things work themselves out thru your actions...NOT thru heart to heart dr.phil talks.
2b. One of the many reasons I wouldn't want to marry a pisces man. A little too weak for my taste.
3. If you want something done...you've got to trick him into doing it.
3A. This could be misconstrued as game playing. But pisces men will hurt themselves running from their obligations. You want the sink fixed... you say, "I've been asking you for 2 weeks to fix the sink when are you gonna do it?" Wrong approach. You have to massage his ego first. (remember "you look like an artist") How about "you know what, you're amazing,you're an amazing artist, friend, & I've never met anyone like you, you can do anything you put your mind to".
Remember he's a pisces. He already knows what needs to be done...its just a matter of doing them. After massaging his ego, don't be surprised if the next day the sink is fixed.
Hardly Moro, I just don't judge them based on a ton of bullshit I've read. And sorry but if someone was to attempt to enter into a relationship with me with a pre-formed opinion based on astrology, and a mind-set of how to "play" me, then I'm not going to entertain it.
So as I said, continue as you do, you will NEVER catch a fish man if that's how you go, because with that outlook you're likely to hold zero appeal for them because they'll see straight through you.
actually, i'm guessing you'd be hard pressed to snag any *decent* man if you go about it in such a way.
you should always be who you are. pretending won't get you far, and if it does, you'll end up miserable in the end. because you neglected yourself. and for what? will the sacrifice be worth it?
if being who you are isn't enough for him, let that sh!t go, babe. if anything'll wake him up, it's knowing that you aren't going to stick around for the bullsh!t, toiling and laboring and putting up with unnecessary sh!t.
i honestly don't believe there's a tell-all, how-to on how to reel 'em in, so to speak. some ppl mesh, others don't. plain and simple. not as big a deal as we make it sometimes.
I guess I'm lazy. All this "what to do, what not to do" is just too much-like school all over again! It takes less energy to be "you" and way too much energy trying to "be what you have to be to reel them in" Besides, if you think about it, its one big contradiction. If Pisces are known to be super intuitive who's to say they havent already spotted the "game". Remember folks, be careful of the trap you build for someone else because you may be the one caught in the end.
that's how I know she got "worked." All the effort, all the thought and research she put into it. That's too much work for me. If it doesn't come naturally, move on........
Thetis I am a living witness. As stated earlier...I have about 4 fish in my net right now. It's a little too much for me, I'm trying to figure out which ones I'm gonna throw back into the deep abyss. Or maybe I'll keep all 4...It takes about that many pisces man to equal up to a real man anyway. (cheap shot...just kidding I looooove fishes cuz they're so deeliciousss)
Did anybody watch the vid Gemgal posted? Guys are hunters! You boring chicks are taking all the fun out of the relationship for them. There's no mystery... that's why the CREEPS are getting my phone number & trying to take me out on the town while you're sitting in your apartment crying listening to kelly clarkson wondering where the helll he is! Then you end up calling my cell asking me who I am because you're going thru his phone because you're all insecure because he's tired of you because you're so predictable, pathetic, and "honest" ***GASP***
No really its not your fault that he's calling me. But ladies stop taking the fun out of your relationships. Everybody loves variety, it is the spice of life. I seriously have so many personalities I can be alone and have a party with myself. Why not explore different sides of yourself with your mate? He'll probably be happy for the change of pace (unless he's a virgo **shudders**).
You're talking about..."I'm too lazy" Who wants a boring, lazy, predictable, woman? Uggghh...
Think of how refreshing it will be to meet someone who has no interest in you being a circus act 24-7. People settle down as they mature and get older, when that time comes you will meet a real man who wants honesty, trust, and the real you. Not some fantasy, or the 50 multiple personalities you have stored inside. If all this game playing you like to sugar coat by calling "variety and spice", works for you then keep doing your thing. I'm just thankful that "your way" is not the norm because then I would have to search for life on other planets.
'The lady doth protest too much, methinks.' (Hamlet Act 3, Scene 2)
Translated as; when someone makes a point too strongly - clearly the underlying issue is something within being projected outward (russaw already pointed this out).
It is not usual behaviour to spend an inordinate amount of time on a message board, desperately trying to drive a point home. Genuine acts of charity speak in a completley different tongue.
Ergo: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Whichever man it was that played darts with your heart, is already in someone else's panties. He is not thinking about you; he is not sat posting about you, or your sign on a message board. You are the one still thinking about him (the post is actually more akin to 'revenge' behaviour).
He won.
Evidently, your games need tweaking a little.
Work on 'the end game'. That is my advice for you. Then come back and tell us that you have a better game than a fish. When you can forget a fish as quickly as he forgets you, you have a better game than a fish.
This is just 101. The getting him hooked portion of the course. LTR is another course in and of itself.
Starfish, you've stated that you can't get along with pisces men before...maybe you should think of enrolling in the course.
Klover Fish, aren't you single at the moment? You should also think about enrolling.
Bijou, you have a lot to learn as well.
And because I'm I gemini I will explain things to you guys...because I'm a cancer I'll do it with warmth & love....but be cause of my capricorn moon I will have to charge you.
Yes I'm single, I also dont have a problem with keeping a male Pisces-without games. I think maybe you have Pisces envy. People ususally try to conquer what they fear. I think that because Pisces are basically a living mirage it can make some people insecure about what our next move will be and how we really feel. I'm really not hating on your "skills" my goal on this board is to let other females know that this way is not the end-all-be-all to catching and keeping your fish. I see it as friendly banter, a novel debate among signs. I'm actually flattered that you have spent time and energy cultivating a science around the male Pisces, it just goes to show how awesome we are!
AND... You know what. I don't know what it is but I thought that the women were straight up and different from the men, but it seems that both have this "holier than thou" "I would NEVER DO SUCH thing" attitude. Then you catch them contradicting themselves so much it's not even funny.
Starfish...
Girl...
do you remember saying this?
"Pisces men are possesive or can be. I have attracted a few and they all seem crazy. I am a Pisces female and I don't like em at all..Play hard the harder you play the more they will want you.."
How is this little "advice" you gave any different from this thread? Hmmm?
I had to pull a page from p-angels book because I just hate hypocrits! Hate's a little strong..I severly dislike hypocrits...lol..
And... to be honest. As gemgal stated so eloquently before, this works on any man..not just pisces. I get swamped with so many fish men....maybe because I live on the beach or something...
"But I've read all that you've written and well, I haven't read anything from you that I haven't heard before, seen before, or tried and rejected before.
I don't think you have anything worthwhile to teach me."
Yet...
You keep clicking, and responding to, the thread. Amazing. Admit it, you "intuitively" know I'm quite the interesting character & you find me amusing. You're hooked. And isn't that what this thread is about in the first place?
"You are more amusing than unloading my dishwasher, I grant you that. I posted twice in this 5 page thread. The first time I posted questions to which you had no answer. The second time I addressed a very silly put down directed specifically to me, and yet you still haven't bothered to answer my original questions. And now you are trying to charm your way into another debate, in which you can conveniently exaggerate, ignore, or willfully twist my words into whatever you want, but which ultimately will go flying over your head unless they are in someway complimentary to you. All the time you flit on the surface of things...again, I ask, where is the depth?"
(Gemgal do you see this?? Case in point!)
Like a moth to a flame....
Bijou (sigh). If you are convinced that I have no depth, then why ask such silly questions like "where is the depth?". Lol. There is none, according to you.
"I was open to the idea that your depth was something you hide away, that may come out when challenged or questioned."
lol... so you wanted to know more about imitationoflyfe because she appears to have no depth? YEAH RIGHT.
You want to know more, because you're intrigued. It's that contradiction factor I mentioned on the first page. I appear to come across as one thing...but you know I'm intelligent...so you're still trying to figure me out.
You have stated how interesting you find my posts in the past. (Don't make me quote you!)
I got one damn pair of jeans and I'm ashamed to say how much they cost. I need to get back into my vintage stuff. I like thrift stores. I found this little leather jacket in one that I sold on ebay for 150 dollars. I paid like 10 dollars for that.
In my younger years (lol) I had to learn about pisces men the hard way...good old trial and error. Thanks to me you don't have to go thru that. I've developed a fool proof method (lol) of snagging and keeping a pisces male (not sure why you'd want to keep him lol)....
