Hi,

How Macho and traditional are we? I have the feeling we cant really let go of the old times. We want to be providers and we want to date feminine woman. At the same time we have a weakness for strong women like Aries and Scorps. I have seen both progressive and traditional guys, but never one who can live with the women being the breadwinner. I think we can adapt eventually, but at the end of the day we want feminine nurturing woman, which is not surprising because we are nurturing to.

Taurus Guys, what values and ideas do you have about how relationships should be for you, how man and women "should be" etc?

I like the old old times. I like ancient times whence having multiple wives would be more private. Wives who are irresistibly strong, as you say, like aries and scorpio. I would be in heaven, if not, at work.


Man, please dont give up. We live in the 21th century. We can do whatever we want there billions ways of living

and subcultures. If you want to have multiple wives go for it. There are forums for polyamory.

why can't feminine women also be strong?



What's your definition of being feminine?



well quite. i was thinking about putting the word in inverted commas but i didn't want to be seen as inflammatory.

I'm afraid I cannot understand what you mean here...
What does it mean?

that the op's point is very dependent on his definition of feminine and also strong.

rather than pointing out the semantics of his post, i thought i'd bypass that and go straight to his feeling women can't both be feminine and strong.

Just to be clear I dont have a clear definition of masculinity and feminity, if you look at a woman 99 out of 100 will agree if she has masculine or feminine energy. Penelope Cruz is clearly more feminine, unlike Ronda Rousey.

I guess what I was trying to say is taurus man like more graceful agreeable submissive woman who let uis take the reigns. And THAT is 50s machoism, that can be dabated and is bad and outdated from todays perspective.

So I wonder, do todays Taurus man still cling to that? But at the same time we end up with scorpio woman

and we love Aries woman, which is a totally different discussion. Somebody said that we dont want distinct with

what we are attracted too and what we are compatible with. thats why we end up cheating and or end up with

scorpios and fire woman. And THAT is a third discussion we can have. We are masculine but at the same

time we have many feminine traits, we are nurturing and would probably better of with a cute cancer, yet

we go at fire woman but dont let them take the reigns. thats just an illolical tragical mess we are causing.

PS: No WONDER the Taurus I met (John) and I didn't "click." I own my own home, while he lived with his "roommate". Okay, thanks for informing me of this.

i luv it

as a scorp i love the safety taurus brings, he makes me feel taken care of and fed.

what's better than that, honestly—

I think its sexy af when my partner is the breadwinner, not because of the money, but because of the sense of pride he has and power he feels being able to take care of me. I am a strong woman and can do for myself, so when someone is on my level or more, thats just appealing to me.

I prefer to be met intellectually, emotionally and physically. Meaning my relationship should encompass intellectual connection, emotional fulfillment and high libido matched 🙂

They shave with a rusty axe.
They fight bears for fun.
They growl at the mailman.
They armwrestle for meals.
Steroids are made from the excess testosterone in their blood.
Serial killers are scared of them.
They live in the mountains and howl at the moon. (Theyll occasionally yodel to flirt with neighboring women)
They carry all the groceries with one arm.
Tauruses are so manly they dont grow beards.. beards grow Tauruses to look manly.
They walk everywhere uphill 5 miles both ways.


lol love this !

y'all are stupid, if your man wants to make money... let him.
His money is your money, duhhh. :-P
I don't think that determines how feminine or masculine you are but it does determine how you feel about yourself. Confidence does arise when you got money. Perhaps being a provider give Op or men a sense of confidence that ties in with their masculinity.

I disagree, women could also be supportive to them by building up their money and equally. Or in case of enmergency if one of then turns out either toxic, narcistic, sociopath, cheater or any other thing that they will keep you lockex up as an object and not a living person. Just save yourself and move out fast.

If you are dating someone who is toxic you should run. I've never said not to.

But making equal money does not mean that the power balance is equal.

As a partner, you should support your SO.

But will I take it as an offense if he makes more money than me and wants to provide for me? no.

Am I going to feel less sufficient, less valuable, less confident in myself and what I can provide for myself? no.

Does him feeling more confident, more masculine for being able to provide for me threaten me?? no.

Unless he is trying to own me, which he will never.

Will I see him less masculine for making less money than me or what I desire? no.

Money does not translate to masculinity, nor femininity. Being able to provide gives a sense of security and pride, especially as a person who wants to take care of the people he loves.

You are that Scorpio Woman, am I right? What do you do to keep the butterflies in his stomach?


Wrong, I am your fellow who follows the forum every now and then. And yep, I generally support the acquaintance between Taureans. I cannot tell you how to seduce/maintain the feeling of butterflies in Scorpio woman's stomach, but I could appeal to Taurus men to take initiative in relation with Taurus women.

My recent strong Taurus crush, showed me your greatness. Usually I take initiative, but I let Taurus men chase and hunt. Unfortunately, just a healing gaze remained. How can it be that Scorpio men (most adventurous), Cancer (most lovely), Capricorn (loyal) are able to chase Taurus women and you are not?

In a nutshell, show your interest straightforward, show stability, do not disturb, but be there for this woman. She will appreciate the feeling she is needed and worthy. Give her freedom, excitement, concrete gift (she doesn't need your money, but likes you to have it).

Do not wait for a call, go and pick her up, go dance, wandern, have a barbecue in Schrebergarten and enjoy in Italy!

The word "macho" annoys me but I’m definitely old-fashioned in many ways....I typically do prefer to be the breadwinner, and I suppose its just the feeling of providing; it lends more of a sense of purpose to my work….but the Sag I was with, who works for the same company I do, made just about the same income, and I found I liked that setup even more….Obviously it gave us a lot more leeway to indulge, but also more to discuss just around the experience in the corp. world, and we were competitive in a healthy way which pushed us both further….

Another benefit is the security of knowing you can live entirely off one person’s salary, if the other loses their job. She wanted me to retire early actually and pursue one of my creative hobbies full-time, which was a dream of mine when younger. I found I ultimately could not do that though. I’d support her to do the same w/o hesitation, but for me I think I would feel too selfish and yes also somewhat emasculated, going through a starving artist phase late in life, while she basically supported us both.

As far as adhering to cultural stereotypes around masculine/feminine, I think Taurus men are a good combination of both….really don’t give a fuk though….I tend to like the “feminine” aspects of my personality more, relate more to women on many levels etc. As long as there are Pisces males out there, I think we’ll be able to fly safely under the gaydar even if we do enjoy buying/arranging flowers a little too much….

On the matter of the strong/challenging woman that inspires/motivates us, arouses our passion etc. vs. the comfortable/easy connection that bulls can settle for, and at times get bored with….I think it’s a real issue for Taurus, has been in my life, and I don’t have the answer….I have changed my views around that several times….There is a huge difference between having equality with a strong independent woman vs. a woman who is deliberately emasculating though. Taurus men might flirt and compete with the latter, even have chemistry, but ultimately I think they will pass on these types altogether….

honestly I have never been with a woman who didn't do more, give more, to the relationship or household in general, even if they didn't "work"....Could just be Taurus men lol, but I think dudes are perhaps just lazier with domestic things...Our generation of men seems more engaged with parenting than our fathers were, but I still think there are a lot of inequalities present - e.g., men expecting women to cook & clean disproportionately, even when she works full time....

i'd like to be able to definitively give an answer about my bull but i suppose its just not something we have explicitly spoken about.

i am an independent women. i don't know if that fits this definition of strong but i own my home, car, and have no debt. i certainly don't need my partner. i am not reliant on him nor does he make my decisions for me.

i can say that we have spoken about equality in a relationship and he wants me as a partner, not someone who he can dominate. rest assured, i am not someone that remotely give a sense that kind of shit would work on anyway.

so i guess as far as that particular bull, while quite traditionally manly, he doesn't conform to some sort of 1950's ideal of what i should be in order to be attracted to me.

Taurus harem tho...

What have you got to say about that?

I'm willing to mind this thing. I know taurus are courteous to women.. People then started to see women around them as taurus harem and then causing some women to think that taurus men aren't loyal. And I do notice this happening with all taurus men I have encountered so far..
Having somethin' somethin' with other women but usually it is when their main woman cannot fulfil their needs. Perhaps their women complain too much, or try to overpower them, I dunno...

What are your thoughts on this?


i think this just really depends on so many things.

we shouldnt forget: its not just the sun signs that determine how someone his

yesss there are alot of common trait within signs. however....what your moon is...what your rising is....etc etc your whole chart

then there is what life that person had/has......experiences....upbringing

yessssssss taurus men are loyalllll as fuck

however..............is he in a healthy relationship? what are his placements— is he really in love—

people can be so loyal....but how does someone change when being cheated on? is it in his character to still be loyal in a new relationship or will he change his thoughts about being loyal??

depends on the person i think

for instance.....in a prior comment here , the man would like multiple women

not every taurus is like that. but thats everybodies own choice

i do feel though that taurus are emotionally loyal to only one

that they are not the one to cheat when being in a healthy stable relationship with someone who doesnt try to cage them so they can be faithfull on their own free will. not because the woman demands it. but maybe im wrong

and ....when yessss....their partner has a healthy sexual relationship with them....but any woman i think who connects with a taurus knows that these ppl appreciate the basic needs in life beyonddd words. food....comfort....sex.

You want a strong woman because when butter hits the fan and you need back up, a wilting flower for a partner is not gonna fight the world with you. She’s going to roll over and get trampled. And so will you. If she can’t take care of herself she definitely can’t take care of you.

Strong women are harder to ‘deal with’ on occasion because they desire equality and the same amount of honor and respect. But it’s that very same quality makes them perfect protectors for you when work starts to unravel, when the kids go insane, when anyone threatens the family’s livelihood, she there to throw down, get dirty and do what needs to be done to protect at all costs or pick up the pieces and build the family back up better than before. Complacent and agreeable yes women scatter in those moments.

Women of both types exist in every sign too. I wouldn’t say it’s restricted to a few.
This. Legit this.

We have a low key machismo about us that to the outside world can’t be seen because we don’t show it off or brag about it like a fire sign would. We take great pride in being the traditional man for our loved ones making us show them not to worry, we got you were a man not some little boy trying to be a man we’re the real deal Holyfield. The fact that most of us are traditional men makes us look for a woman who is strong dominant independent yet feminine nurturing and gentle who will let us be the traditional man we strive to be in life.
