When it comes to this forum (and every search result on Google lol) I've noticed that whenever Tauruses are spoken of, men particularly, their deep appreciation for beauty and femininity in inevitably mentioned. To tall the Tauruses out there, how much of a priority is your prospective or current partner's attractiveness to you? What does femininity or masculinity mean to you? This is more of a discussion question than a need for answers in my love life, I'm just so curious about it. Do you feel like Taurus is the most physically-driven member of the zodiac? I find this so interesting for some reason

Interesting that you all say that. Coz I've seen some Taurus men's partners and they're at best pretty but mostly average and rather homely looking, not exactly stunners.... What stood out most was the curves. They do like meat on their women, it seems. Guess that equates with femininity, big tits and ass, childbearing hips.

I have a good Taurus friend who used to date a model, tall skinny type. That was shortlived. He's now with a petite chubby lady. But she does have a pretty face and a lovely smile.

Hmm I think they can be stuck in what they believe beauty to be. In other words, they aren't very open to picking someone to be with that is outside of their idea of what beauty is. My ex was very outspoken about what he liked in a woman.
Interesting.

If you don't mind me asking. Did your ex-husband made certain demands on you, to fit into the type of women he liked? If this is too personal, I apologise.

Funny that you ask that.... I was smaller when I met him, but had an hour glass shape. I did get a lot of attention though... After a while he always wanted to eat late, eat out etc. I hated when I gained weight so I got back into my routine of going to the gym, eating clean, etc. He would get upset when I lost weight though. Like he wanted me to stay bigger than I was comfortable with. He would flat out tell me "that's enough..." Like you're too thin. When we divorced I got back down to my normal size. I saw him afterwards. He asked me if I have been starving myself. He said "if we were together I would have told you to stop a while ago." I said, "I know, good thing we aren't together anymore." ‰ He always said he likes girls with curves. The thing is even when I lose weight my curves are still there. But he just didn't like when I got really thin.

I knew what he liked so I did stay that way for a while, maybe I just did it to please him... Then when it was over I didn't care what he thought. By the way... When I lost weight towards the end of our marriage, he cheated with a chubby Pisces...(I honestly feel they were better for each other anyway.) They didn't last though and he tried coming back...but I was over him telling me how I needed to look and be all the time.

Thanks for sharing that.

I think with Taurus men (do correct me if I'm wrong though people), they do like beautiful women (and men if they swing that way). But not at the expense of their inner security. If you're too beautifu, you might get so much attention from other men, and they don't like that. So they'll tell you to not wear make up or less make up, don't dress too sexily, put on a bit of weight, etc.

That is exactly what my Taurus friend said when we asked him why he dumped the model. He didn't feel secure, she was getting too much attention from other people.

His current GF he says may not be as gorgeous but loves him and won't leave him, plus is a great cook (and loves to eat too!)
My leo ex used to model. She got tons of attention at first it bothered me, but later i learned to live with it. It was good made me grow and become more secure of myself. But we bulls ar just possessive so i mean you cant really take all of that possessiveness out of us. We never worked out because she just was never serious, too prideful, highly emotional, and just not consistent. I like...nay LOVE consistency. Your friend honestly, i bet if you asked him he finds her to be the most beautiful woman in the world because that she grew on him. At the end of the day no matter how shallow we are at first sight, we know that beauty fades character counts.

Exactly! This is what I mean, maybe I didn't articulate it better 🙂

You guys claim to be shallow, but you're really not 😉

My ex literally took a shirt (his sister gave me) and threw it in the trash. I wasn't even planning on wearing it though. He could be a great guy when he's not so caught up on who is looking at me. He said he got over it after a while but clearly his comments after we divorced showed he didn't. He really didn't like that I got attention. He is good looking too. I didn't freak out when someone got close to him. I didn't care as long as we were sharing quality time. It was a bit too much after a while. I just wanted to be trusted. Then when he cheated, I was out. There was no way after all that accusing that I was going to stay. Sadly left though, because I loved him. He didn't like that I treasure some freedom as well though. So again, we just needed different people.

Since Taurus sees everything as their possession beauty is uber important. Not just physical beauty in another person, but beauty in their surroundings as well. I'm a Taurus sun and Asc. Beauty is number 1 with me too. Sorry, but it just is. Being ruled by Venus does this to a person, but I wouldn't trade it. Beauty is like a religious experience to me. It's intoxicating.

If you are a thin model better believe when messing with a Taurus, you are going to gain weight but also make sure you are taking care of yourself too...So make sure you decide that if he is the right one for you. Taurus are consistently in the kitchen baking and trying things..

Taurus are usually very strong built. Some people are overly critical or it is a must have if you are fit and constantly a gym rat. I don't like overly muscular all over. Like bodybuilders too much. It's too much.

So make sure you have a gym close. If the guy has a beer gut then I most likely would see if he wanted me to cook healthier for him, since I myself is average weight. And go walking or hiking together.

Taurus-Scorpio axis has a primordial lure...
Related to Eros-Psyche

Taurus feels best through the senses
It's about lust and pleasure
They perceive something beautiful and are affected deeply because it's corporeal
I can relate to this as well, the lust and pleasure part. Could it be my Venus in Taurus? Or could it be other aspects of my chart?
click to expand

Yes, I'm pretty sure... actually I saw my post is not accurate, but was still rubbing my eyes, trying to wake up to make myself edit it. It's especially true for Venus

Still, I think it's the essence of Taurus. And when you have Venus in Taurus it's woah... you want to use that body for sensation : D That's the central thing I've noticed about the Taurus Venus people around me. 🙂

Venus in Taurus people both female and male have gorgeous eyes, intense like the Scorpio Venus eyes. The latter penetrates the soul, Taurus Venus is bewitched by the physical presence and once they consume it, they can sense the inner you.

Isn't it tricky to draw a line between physical perception of attraction and mental perception of it?

Even in conversation with someone, the way they say something can make all the difference to how attractive they seem. Not the actual words they say.

That attraction would still be purely physical.

Unless you're writing love letters to one another I don't see how you can take the physical side out of it completely.
That's very interesting...it must eventually really depend on how you see women

I would categorize the "actual words" as the mental perception and the "way they say something" as part of your own "radiation", tone and timbre of voice

I couldn't care less, not that I'd be happy about it.

I adapt to the environment and women from my country excels in their figure and tight body, they're definitely not popular for their curves unless they're from the South.

Tall + tight body + curves is just too much to ask, considering how rare they are where I live. Besides, they have so many suitors that you're not the one picking anymore and I don't like that, I like to have a choice.

mmmm, for me - I am naturally attracted to a good man who is confident - that is beauty to me - the presence, sort of rugged handsomeness not baby face, speaks well, manners, old-fashioned ... I have a thing about the shoes and I must like their hands - the men in my life have all been good looking strong men types - these are the types that are attracted to me

I have always taken good care of myself because I like it but not because I am driven by it - I look good and have a nice body at my age - people think I'm 15 years younger than I am - guess I lucked out on some good genes - I see other women at work who are much younger than me that don't take as much care of making sure they look their best and they look older than me

beauty and body care is big on my personal list naturally - my bb says he thinks he's coming to a spa when he sees my bathroom - that is my luxury and I really enjoy indulging him and he loves my pampering of his beauty cause he's a Libra and they love to look and feel good

I think for me, I don't actually search for beauty per se - but I naturally am drawn to and surround myself with things I like to look at, smell, touch, taste, hear ... a good fabric like silk - color and touch are appealing, baked bread, listening to the birds when I wake in the morning, touching someone I love, growing and smelling flowers, apple pie ... need I go on ...

I had this same issue in my last relationship but it was with a Virgo man ,not a Taurus. It really took a toll on me physically and emotionally. I've been a runner since I was 14 (I'm 24 now) and although my ex claimed to want a girl who worked out he would make an issue of it every time I exercised for more than 30 minutes, going on and on about how I was going to lose my fat blah blah blah. He would encourage me to eat poorly and make fun of me for having "small" breasts (Lol I'm a 34D for God's sake, with a 26 inch waist and 37 inch hips). It got to the point where he was pressuring me to have fat transfer surgery. I'd never met someone so preoccupied with looks, I think someone else mentioned something similar about virgos earlier in this thread. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and your body!

I don't even notice the difference sometimes, not that is a nice trait to have if taken to the extreme. Most times the manner she physically articulate her words (common trait among Italians) is the only thing that matter to me.

If she's attractive and harmoniously confident is her expressiveness, a trait any women should master, there's very few things she could say to turn me off.

Basically the attraction I have is pure physical despite having a purely mental way of perceiving/processing it.

Beauty is important to me but it's not a deal breaker at the end of the day if they are not dimes. To me the mind and soul are also beatiful attributes to have that make a women beautiful in my eyes. While I do like and appreciate a woman with curves and a lil extra meat on her bones I tend to be more attracted to and date more petite girls than curvaceous ones.

Agreed 1000 percent.

I would just say it's great to not have to notice the difference, precisely because of her mastery of her own self-expression. The first time I heard the Taurus speaking to me in Italian I knew there was no going back. She prefers English sometimes for the diversity of expressions/words but it's more intuitive in Italian, there's more of your body put into it. At that point I stop questioning my day, stop doubting and just let it happen in her company.

Does she have the same naturalness when she speaks English or does her body language slightly differ?

It sounds to me like, speaking your native language, is her way of making you feel at ease with yourself: the language barrier is probably more pronounced on your side.
