This may have been posted on here before, but I can't find it.

Scorpios, what do you look for or find attractive in the opposite sex? What makes you say "she's/he's a keeper" or "no, thanks...next"? What do you find irresistible?

well, a girl's gotta have either of two things to catch my eye:

a) dark, mysterious sex appeal.
b) an emotionally complex aura.

both qualities are very challenging in a woman, and scorp boys always love a challenge. just don't be too challenging or we'll take it as disinterest and lash out at you.

I'm really into eyes and lips also. But the eyes...they have to fearlessly meet mine and stay there a few seconds or I'm not interested. Darkness...I like dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin is always nice...eyes and darkness magnetize me. But I'm a woman, so I don't know if my 2 cents will mean much here ๐Ÿ™‚

He must be sexy, intelligent, know how to keep my interest in all things, have a lot of communication skills in all things, humorous, outgoing, not controlling, supportive and most of all damn good in bed, and packing in his pants. ha ha ha ha

Oh I forgot he must have a job, car, his own kids (cuz I am not giving him any) his own place cuz he can't live with me.

Last but not least his own money, and knows how to dress.

I might have forgotten some but these are some of the most important things that will make me think he is a keeper.

Physically- dark eyes, dark hair, nice arms.

Mentally- quick witted, analytical, calculating, dry sense of humor, sarcastic

Emotionally- has to be intuitive enough to read my mood swings- know when I need to lean on him, and when I need to be left alone.

And he has to have an element of the "dark side" to him...otherwise I'd get bored eventually...that edge has to show up every once in a while.
And he has to like animals and kids.

I have heard that Scorpios have poker faces - can't read them. That's what I'm afraid is going to be one of the toughest things for me to get over with this Scorpio guy that wants to date me.

I am very analytical and it's almost as if he keeps things tight lipped on purpose. He will ask me all sorts of questions and I answer them, but when I ask them back, I get one word or one sentence answers!

"but when I ask them back, I get one word or one sentence answers!"

I have a habit of doing that, myself...what usually breaks the ice with me is being called on it. If someone has the balls to tell me I'm being evasive- but can still laugh at how I am, and not resent me for it- I'll open up...

..of course, that would piss off some other scorpios I know!

What's a girl to do? ๐Ÿ™‚

that's good advice, Pluto. But in the email I sent you a few days ago, he and I exchange 20 questions during the day or have and my answers are more detailed than his.

At first, I thought "um, ok...he's an introvert", but then I realized that he's actually not an introvert...got me to thinking "why is he so evasive?"

Anyway, he's away on vacation this week, so maybe next week we'll pick up on the getting to know you phase and I'll gently nudge him to elaborate on some things.

Are Scorps more comfortable opening up to someone in person or in a non face-to-face arena?

HP I don't know about most scorpios but I am more to open up face to face I need to read the person in front of me and I can't do that on the phone.. people can tell you anything on the phone and it is hard to tell if they are lying or not but face to face you can look at their facial expression, and body language and hand movement.

We are investigators we watch everthing.

"have heard that Scorpios have poker faces - can't read them."

If scorps want you to read them, you'll be able to read them. Just look into their eyes, and you'll get the message clearly. But do "look" at your own risk, lol.

I agree that eyes in the other person are key. And if the scorp lets you know they like you, then be aggressive. There is nothing more frustrating than having an attraction with somebody and having them chicken out. No, I take that back, there is nothing more frustrating than a guy you are not attracted to who's very aggressive. Make sense? Just read between the lines and hope the scorp is the one who Likes you!

Scorplady, that makes total sense, especially with a person you don't know well.

People can be fickle on the phone.

if they don't talk about themselves (inside), then it will take longer to figure out if they're ugly.

i am pretty sure that this scorpio guy is decent; it's just right now it seems like I'm using a toothbrush and a fork to dig into his soul rather than a shovel!

houston, an aries ex of mine once told me (a scorpio), "you're the most open, closed person i've ever met." and that's the scorpio guy to a tee - he lets you know enough to keep you at bay, but he never lets you know anything more than that.

hp, I see you are a taurus ๐Ÿ™‚ So you've basically gotten attracted by the opposite. With that in mind, my contention is that one needs to take things by faith with a scorp. Maybe use your senses in communication, and if you have a sixth sense it will be helpful. Scorps talk without words, and sometimes have layers of meaning, but that's just a fear of getting hurt. If you approach the scorp with empathy though and they feel they can trust you, they'll open up. But I would say use what you have in common and go from there. Passion (scorp) and romance (taurus) coming together should break the code. Now the stubbornness is another matter...

"yes its a serious matter HP...dont let it come between u two..."

Yeah, that's more easier said than done - we scorpios can be absolutely insanely hardheaded. It could be months before we "get" how ridiculous the situation is. Who has patience for that kind of bs besides the pisces?

Sad indeed....

"got it...so whichever questions he answers with short answers, I do the same. match his volume in his answers... "

houstonpeach, just be yourself - he obviously already finds you fascinating just the way you are, otherwise he wouldn't be trying to probe you for your deepest, darkest secrets lol

"I don?t know where this strange kinkyness comes from in scorps?they want their partner to be a lil evasive?or elusive?like out of reach?they like the challenge?"

gawd, so true. my taurus drives me insane when he's evasive or elusive. but he does it so smoothly that i don't feel like he is purposefully being evasive, just that he doesn't care to elaborate. (i hate games btw, i don't know if this is true of all scorps)

i find that him to be a contradiction... on the one hand he says ask me anything, he has nothing to hide. but when i do ask, he answers sideways, if you know what i mean - it drives me crazy!!! so maybe pluto's muse is right about this, coz i'm still around and i'm still intrigued. it's ok to withhold info for a good reason, i respect that, but if he's playing games then that would be a huge turnoff. i'm asking questions to get to know someone better, not to waste my time. ๐Ÿ™‚

"HP, do u seriously feel that there is a deep connection between u two when u are together"
i'd be curious about this too, coz i feel there's a deep connection w/ my taurus ...

i meant i wanted to know about the whole scorp/taurus intense bond thing, if other people in the same combo really feel it too, or if it's just astrology myth...

exactly....i was just telling someone that the mental, physical, emotional connection seems overwhelmingly strong - and maybe over time, a spiritual connection will develop

so Juicy confirmed
me confirmed
TG & her scorp seem intense too
HP - waiting for her to confirm
Chocolate?

hmmm...3 out of 5 so far....maybe there is some truth to this stuff

Hi everyone. It is very strange to say this, but yes I do feel a connection with this guy. I'm not sure if it's "intense" but when we have been together and when we've spoken, it's like we've known each other for a long time because I'm so comfortable aroudn him.

I agree with scorp5pt0 - the scorp/taurus connection is No myth. That's the reason my handle is scorpoffcharts, the connection I had with a taurus guy was 12 on a 1 out of 10! My moon is in taurus. I couldn't bear looking into his eyes, it was just too much. Now, being a scorp, that connection to me is very important. But he has a gf who has a pretty tight reign on him and I have very strong principles. I am not going to sit here speculating about it, all I will say is that it is sad that I can't experience this connection further since that happens to me almost never.

Sometimes the all or nothing scorp attitude is so hard to bear, but it sure isn't boring ๐Ÿ™‚

But with that said, I find astrology a little confusing for one reason - so that whole attraction thing is right on the mark - with taurus =magnets, with pisces = drawn to each other. Yet I can't really get along with the pisces men beyond that attraction and deeper understanding, so what good does that do? I mean, attraction doesn't mean relationship, in fact it is far from it. Plus you can have 50,000 extraneous issues. So basically you are a back to square one... Just a thought.

heehee HP - wait till you see what happens when you keep seeing him, i think you'll find the connection gets more intense, especially after uhm, you know.... ๐Ÿ™‚

maybe it's that magnet thing that they keep talking about with opposite signs....either you repel each other or you can't keep apart
