From my own experience I can say that taurus people are very stubborn and they do things their way entire life, so it is really hard to change them. The more you push them, the less they care. I have a good male friend who is a taurus, so the only way to try to change their mind is to gently and carefully tell them your opinion and arguments. Then..MAYBE..they will think about it, but still, taurus people change their mind only if THEY decide it's necessary 😄

Agreed!

Seems like they attempt to change when there is a threat of losing something or someone important to them... even then, it's not guaranteed.

What does Taurus respond to?

Tough love?

Kid gloves?

..?
interesting that you said "for their own good" ... lol ... YOU have decided this, not the Taurus and that is the problem right there!

My examples are:

1. adult Taurus male who gambles instead of having a real job

2. teen Taurus male who is failing school because he doesn't do the work and copies whenever he can

They don't know each other but it's uncanny how they both have the mindset of what's "easier". It breaks my heart how lazy and entitled they are 😢

with all due respect - why is it your business what and/or how they live their lives ? they will learn in their own time or not - they are not the only people like this and one person's ways are not an example of how everyone else is under the same sign - we are all "different" ... the adult male must be getting money from somewhere to be able to gamble - and the teen is failing school because of copying ? but not related ? he must have a bad role model somewhere ?

It depends on what you're trying to change about the person but I will change for you, if you're worth changing for.

For example, someone I used to date calmly asked me, "why don't you use 'please' when asking for something from people? It can come off a little rude to people, you should change that!" and I thought about it and realized, she's right. Ever since then, I've said please when asking for something from anyone.

Again, it really depends on what you're asking of us, but I can make adjustments if I know I'm doing something that irks someone. Just ask me.

I agree but did you see her examples ? which don't really apply to this ...

Understand us, respect us. Show us why we should listen to you, through your own growth and personal experience. We aren't susceptible to change, if there is no real tangible and logical security behind it. Though that isn't to say we don't crave betterment. You wanna "change" a taurus? Don't, you wanna help them improve in their life? Be honest and forthright about it, have a plan, and show that you actually care about THEM and not what you perceive or what them to be.
Ummm how dare you steal my profile pic tho?? I'm asking you to CHANGE that pic ?

The men come off as demanding. He asked me to give him my hand. I'm all why? He said I just want to see it, let me see it. An excuse to hold my hand, but I didn't like the tone it was said.

The best way to get a Taurus to change for their own good.

Don't suggest it.

Don't advise them.

Don't even try to reason with them.

Instead...

Use yourself as a guinea pig.

Use only "I" in your persuasion.

Mention how "YOU" will benefit from the situation.

Make the idea lucrative, impressive, and a win-win situation.

The minute your Bull starts asking questions on how you're benefiting from it, BOOM, the Bull will ponder on it, and then the mind will be changed.

Mission accomplished.

No coercion

No solicitation

No obvious attempt at getting the Bull to change their minds.

You've returned.

I want to thank you for the advice you've bestowed on my first time here on dxp. I appreciated your advice. The Taurus and I have decided to remain friends. I did have a heart to heart talk with him months ago and cornered him about our status then. He admitted at the time it was headed into a relationship, but when he lost his job everything took a turn for the worst. Discussed how he feels embarassed he couldn't provide for me and not much he could offer. I've stayed by his side as a friend helping to cheer him up. He still attempts to make strides though, asking to see me during the holidays, inviting me to a faire, or spending time in his apartment just to be there, and updating me on his employment status. I know he will get there eventually.

Thank you for your advice 🙂

Channel your mutable powers.

Don't persuade them, just use the passive aggressive way that mutables are good at lmao.

Taurus: "I'm doing it this way and that's final" mutable: "okay..."

Taurus: "Why do you say it like that?"

Mutable: "No reason... I mean if it was me I would... But that's just me"

Taurus: "Hmmm ?"

Besides, when they're ready to change they'll come to you. They have to go through some things to realize that change can be good.
