Cowardly Cancers and Aggressive Bulls (Page 2)
You are on page out of 2 | Reverse Order
nah...just admit that you resent being called a coward and as is typical of water signs, you struck back for no reason other than your feelings got in the way.
your opinions are your own but the motivation behind the statements is decidedly transparent. that's why you felt the need to say that "They can also say some of the cruelest things ever and have a way of inducing tears from their victims."
that's your attempt to refute the OP's cowardly assertion. you think being this way makes you less of a coward? not really. crabs side step for a reason.
so lemme tell you why you're here and why you responded the way you did...
you're a sensitive, emotional mess and instead of manning up and owning the fact that you got your feelings hurt, you cowardly attempt to refute the OP with non-sense. in fact, the "majority of threads" one would read here are the anti-thesis to what you ascribe but hey, it's all about soothing your emo...i mean ego...same diff.
i hope you FEEL better.

we are said to like peace for a reason.
ya, you're a real peacekeeper. same shit, different thread with you...
I just had to add something, so this is the same post as above w/an addition 🙂
I couldn't have said it any better than you did Aphrodite Bull
I particularly agree with this, " Relationships don't define us. However, fidelity and happiness defines a relationship. If we don't find those traits in a suitable mate, then we're very open and honest with ourselves...and will make no apologies about being alone! In other words, we would rather be alone than settle for someone we are not happy with or will most likely cheat on."
It's called being selective, why be in some half-a $ $ ed relationship just to SAY, you are in a relationship. That thought process never set well with me in my teens, and it doesn't now as an adult. Insofar as some assertions that we are inflexible, I get that, we can be stubborn, but I can say that I am one of few of my friends of ANY sign, that has no problem picking up and going on an impromptu trip, or just throwing caution to the wind and doing things. I know it has something to do with other planets in my chart, but I've been called a LOT of things in my life, but boring...naw, not that one I know ME, very well, and as Aphrodite Bull so eloquently put it, I make no apologies for being alone! At the end of the day, I'm the mistress of my own domain, and I face my demons everyday and don't hide from s# $ t, nor sugar coat anything - including when I'm dealing with my own short comings because I have A LOT of them, but that's ok, because while I'm still breathing, I have the opportunity to work on making me the best person I can be - for me!

You bring up a very valid point Aphrodite Bull in respect to us not dealing with theories and innuendos, hence the reason you will oftentimes see a Taurus person being friends with someone that everyone else has chastised or said terrible things about. Case in point, there was a cute little blonde chicky who started working at a company I used to work at...well, of course, all the men were all over her, and the women (per usual) were catty b# $ ches making snide remarks about the way she dressed (she was petite w/bodacious tatas and a rocking figure, so she could look good in a damn plastic bag). I genuinely introduced myself and got to know HER, not the bulls# $ t that people were trying to say simply because they were small minded and threatened. She turned out to be a sincere and nice person, and to this day while she's not a close friend of mine (I don't work at that company anymore). We are still friendly and chat from time to time. We are free thinkers and rarely just go along with other sheep. We do (typically) pick and chose our battles, hence the reason so many people in my life have been surprised when I do get my nose flaring and charge, because it rarely happens, but when it does - look out!
Wow Aphrodite and USCTG,you said it all perfectly. 🙂

It will be a matter of time before he comes whining to us about {Taureans} being right in the 1st place. But that's OK. His food will be on the table, light scented candles will burn, his clothes will be pressed, and he will be thankful that he isn't married to a 'DOORMAT' who isn't going to challenge his opinions. This is how we're able to sustain a relationship......

OY! That should have been "as" not "has"! good grief!! (EDIT BUTTON PLEASE)
This is absolutely 100% spot on. 🙂 Rock the hell ON BULLS!

This is good! I don't know the Taurs that welll, but I sure see how this is true.
Your explanations are great. My Taurus girls are FAR from boring and keep their cool in situations where others start to pull out their hair.
They can also hang out with just about anybody and appreciate people for who they are. Love, love that trait about them.
I've noticed they don't seem to care much about being single and ALL the guys I know prefer it that way. The ones who are with someone have amazingly solid relationships where there is a lot of support. My one Taurean with her Sag man acted as his therapist until one day she just couldn't take it anymore. She let him know that the whining had to stop and gave him all the information and tools he needed to change his thinking. Problem solved. Until he chose to head her advice, there would be no nooky. (I think that was harder for her because I never heard the end of it) LOL!!
The males I know are a bit more hot headed, yet easy going at the same time. It is a strange combination. One is always going off and likes to spread his mood around for all to experience. Big, big hearts... both of them.

Yes, both Taurus men and women are opinionated, argumentative and dogmatic. Why? Because we're ALWAYS right. We're simply concerned with details and facts, not conspiracy theories or innuendos. If you feel that we're wrong, then PROVE US WRONG! We have very little patience with people who can not support their arguments.
As Taurus women (when our men are wrong, which is MOST of the time), we will not throw up in his face when the repercussions from NOT taking our advice has hit him pretty hard. Instead, we will figure out a way to fix it. We are emotionally strong individuals who have already figured out a solution to the problem. We're not damsels in distress. If our mates choose to make moronic decisions, we will still back him up and pick up the pieces.
^i have to work on that. like if you witness them liberally pouring gasoline on themselves, do you douse them with mounds of earth to prevent a tragedy or do you sit idly by with a water hose and wait for him to light a match?
my sag bro says he always knows what i'm thinking even if i don't speak a word. i can't feign enthusiasm in the face of what i honestly feel is wrong. if it's a bad idea but the fallout is minimal, i will summon an "attaboy" and i'm working on saying it with *spirit fingers*
i don't think it's easy for most taureans to be disingenuous when it personally involves us. i think that's libra's job. as the other side of venus, they are all about "union" and "togetherness" and know how to stroke the hell out of a man's ego so if they saw him dumping gas over his head, a libra would have an extra can in one hand and a waterhose in the other..."balance" you see 😛
"argumentative"/"opinionated" are relative imho because where i am clearly both, i'm no nag. in RL i can typically pick and choose my battles and it's generally only when i'm asked repeatedly what i think or watch someone redrench their gasoline drawls that i feel compelled to speak up. but once i speak up, oh you're going to hear what i have to say. after all, you asked for it and i'm right.
and i agree, no gloating after wards as i'm too busy throwing away charred clothing and dressing wounds to celebrate.
hmm...i should've said "dirt hose" to be more astrologically contiguous.
sorry, it was bother me 😛

*bothering
ACK!
ACK!
this also made me think of one of my other "aggressive flaws."
let's say that a job needs to be done. like laying a tile floor. say you only have money for the materials and can't afford to hire someone.
one day i will wake up and out of sheer frustration from looking at the jacked up tile, i'll head down to lowes or home depot, make my purchase and i'll figure it out. in the end, my grout lines could've been a little straighter. maybe i made a few mistakes along the way and broke a few tile and had to reset others but the end result is a fairly decent home improvement job and a lot of lessons learned.
i'm not afraid to take on shit that i don't know how to do. i think the aries in me is the pioneer that takes on the project but it's the taurus that sees it through to its painstaking end. what bothers me about being with someone else is if they don't have the same "just do it" make up.
i remember hanging shelves with my virgo bff. we started the project and 15 minutes in he turned to me and said, "how do you do this?"
i immediately ran a little hot but pulled it back. so i explained it to him. the whole process of finding a stud, measuring, leveling...it should make sense right? the shelf needs to go on the wall straight and these little metal things hold it to the wall 😛
10 minutes later when he'd done NOTHING! i asked him what was wrong? he said, "i've never done this before."
AND I HAVE!?!? this is new to me too. let's just do it together and figure it out along the way. i can't stand helplessness. i can't stand inaction due to "i don't know how to." it's like hiring a painter when you have 10-ft ceilings. wtf!?
rant over.

amen!
Ain't that the truth! My friends think I am such a snob (which I am), but they don't know half of the ish I've had to do by MYSELF in my life. No complaining/b# $ ching or moaning, as the Nike ad says, "JUST DO IT!"
Complaining about stuff is a waste of time, because it's NOT going to get the job done. One of my exes hated this about me, I'd ask him to do something for me. He'd say, "OK." But he wouldn't do it in the timeframe I wanted, so I would just do it myself, to which he would get pissed off because he would kvetch that I didn't "give him enough time." Here's the deal. If someone ask me to do something oftentimes I'll do their ish BEFORE I do my own ish! I just think that's the way it should be done - just DO IT!

Yeppers...gotta love us 🙂 or want to run us over with a bulldozer! HA!
I actually love "Just Do It" and "Man Up!" Although, I say, "Man the F@ck Up!"
Gotcha 🙂 I'm not too greedy actually *shrugs * Well, I guess I'm greedy about some things, but it's not food 😉

I think cancer/taurus would be perpertually challenged for a myriad of reasons. Taurus are typically directly indirect in confrontation. I say that because when something is brought up, whatever is brought up is possibly an issue. I feel like the source, or the root of whatever is being brought up is the real issue as well. A person can take and pair this with a cancer's infamous ability to sidestep and skirt confrontation...it can create some pretty diluded drama. In addition to this, a cancer's moon swings would not pair well with a taurus at all. Taurus have their own set of mood swings (Whether they admit this or not), but a cancer would ultimately foster an air of emotional and thusly practical unpredictability which does not sit well with the bulls.
@OP
This may be true.closest I've came to Cancer is my Scorpio ex with a Cancer moon.my gawd that is one moody and unhappy human being.

How about this scenario?
TAURUS: I'm not feeling this movie. It's so idealistic. It's not even realistic. This doesn't happen in real life. I'm not renting this crap when it's available on DVD.
CANCER: How can you be so insensitive? If you really cared about me, you would love this movie too. Don't I matter to you?
TAURUS: WTF? What does this crappy movie have to with us? Do I care about you? I'm here aint I?...and watching this dumb movie, too!
*Cancer begins to cry*
Or this scenario?
CANCER: I don't want to see this movie. I think we should watch another movie instead. The other movie has something we might both like.
TAURUS: I told you we were already watching this movie, no ifs ands, or buts about it. If you wanted to watch another movie you should have told me ahead of time. I'm not about to sit here and hear your whining. Watch the movie and hush, or simply just go home.
CANCER: Geez. it's not that serious, I just suggested something else, why can't you be more open-minded and....
*Taurus cuts Cancer off, agitated for being pressured to change movies...gets upset, and lashes out at Cancer*
HAHAHAHAA!! Both scenarios are oh so true! Sad, but true! LMAO for realllzzzzzz! I especially love this, "If you wanted to watch another movie you should have told me ahead of time!" HA!

I'm a cancer man dating a Taurus woman, she's great and the relationship is great! But I'm an evolved cancer man, not like my brethren so I probably don't count.
The best match for the Bull, is someone that can match them on just about every level, and thats a "Goat" 🙂
