Anyone keen to share their experience? I've come to realize that the people I'm attracted to does not work well with me. Has anyone managed to work through themselves and develop a way to change the type of person you're attracted to? Or make a step and try adapting a new formula for filtering your options.

I'm exploring the option of conditioning myself to be attracted to character traits that will be mutually good. It sounds like a different way of doing things and I'm keen to hear if other people have done this.

I'm attracted to strong libran/gemini influences in summary. That I'm very happy with but it rarely gets reciprocated.

On the alternate hand, cancer influenced people and caps are drawn to me. I've sworn off caps due to horrific experiences in the past. Cancers tend to be a bit boring for me where I am. But hey the cancers here are really great. CC and all. I love the cancers here. Thus my question since something doesn't seem to be working as what I'm attracted to doesn't reciprocate and I won't reciprocate those attracted to me. I'm slightly wary of people with piscean vibes (dreamy and intuitive) but I really will like to be with one since I imagine it to be great. I'm trying to work through this.

I seem to draw the motherly kind of women but I don't want them. It gets suffocating for me. I prefer the freedom loving women but they're too busy with life or other men. :/

I stopped long ago to date those that attracted me physically...I began to see and work more on what substance they were about. In some ways it has worked but still there are some who pretend and pretend well. Red flags won't show until months down the line. So I have just concluded that you trust no one until that trust is earned and to keep my own emotions under control until consistency within another is routine and not just a hiccup.

Dating today is horrible. We have more bottom feeders than people of substance.

When you say pretend are you meaning in terms of character, status, finance or some other way? I'm curious.

True. There are exceptions. Scorpio in particular. 😄

Or make a step and try adapting a new formula for filtering your options.

you talk of your lovelife like it's an arrangement to be made

I wonder: Do Virgos EVER wonder why people call them robots? Do you not see how your thoughts are absent of passion?

probably. But I will prefer to plot my life carefully and be prudent in my decisions.
