How to win my Scorpio man (Page 2)

I don't know, it just seems like the word "Winning" puts the Scorpio into the category of being a "trophy" that has no more value than some cheap plastic gold cup trophy on the mantle, or...
"WIN A FABULOUS TRIP TO HA- WAH -EEEEEEE!" (say that like a dumb game show announcer)

In short, it's as though we are thought of as a commodity when we are not.
We are like cheap airline tickets on a cheap plane that no one wanted to fly.

That's how the OP's title immediately came across to me.

Also, it sounded like she was raffling off her Scorpio.

It really depends on what context "fighting for" is used. In your scenario, Firebird, there's the head games. In the OP's case she's trying to instigate a connection. In another case it could be a couple already together who are having problems and trying to "fight" for saving the relationship.

As for appreciating and treasuring loved ones, as Creole says, I'm wholeheartedly agreeing. 🙂

I agree with appreciating loved ones. It's the right thing to do.
Of course, there are times when loved ones need a swift kick in the rear when they get out of line.

Whatever happened to a light, open-handed smack and a quietly stern warning? That works too, you know.

Just be honest with yourself and with him and nobody gets hurt. 😉

Yes, and this is really effective if both participants do it, too.

Because kicking is more satisfying.

To be honest, I've had to smack my daughter, one time. I DO mean only ONCE.

Leave it to a dumb blond Sag to "assume" that I beat my girls to a bloody pulp as a cheap relaxing hobby.

I see your point. I think this is pretty common in all the forums. "How can I win my Scorpio Man?" "How can I Keep my Gemini man?" "How do I get my Libra man back?" and so forth.

To at least some extent, the astrological signs DO get grouped as commodities in casual discussion.

Oh dear. I apologize, I thought you were speaking in metaphor.

If you have to "win" someone, it's not meant to be.

That's what I meant.

thanks munchkin

lol made me laugh!

Oh, my mom slapped me once...and only once! I had it coming. I was mouthing off to my dad and called him "Dr. Spock" in a snotty tone. Got slapped and told never to talk to him in a disrespectful tone again.

Well, Yes, I WAS speaking metaphorically and.... unfortunately yes, in extreme circumstances, when all
other options have been exhausted, literally.

OK. 🙂

Random thought: The Phantom of the Opera (title character in Lloyd Weber's rock opera) is a Scorpio, isn't he?

I'm not sure he's ever named in the musical. In LaRoux's novel, his given name is Erik. A real mad genius.

I honestly need to review that story. Gaston LaRoux is a Taurus, I think.
I've heard the Phantom of the Opera as being an arch type associated with Scorpio Man, before.
I cannot say for sure, though.

I read the novel back the early 1990's. I was repelled because I thought he was a glamorized serial killer. Lloyd-Webber gave him more of a rock star treatment and presented motivations for his murderous ways.

Does that make me twisted if I like Phantom of the Opera? lol

No. Why? Erik is actually an incredibly well-written character IMHO.

I think so, too! It's just that he's sooooo....sadly alone and a bit deranged and obsessive. I shouldn't like that! lol

I think you mean he suffers from an artistic temperament.

OMG... LOL ... Now I have this insane visual of me doing a "Jigglypuff" impression.

I'm scared....

😕

The hell??
