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. π
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. π
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 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.
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. π
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.
IrresistableScorp may actually have an answer.
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??
