Was this about a Taurus man?

"I once knew a man who came on very strong at the beginning of relationships, but couldn't seem to help closing his heart as soon as a woman had opened hers. I have heard that kind of behavior referred to as an —addiction to the attraction phase?? in relationships. This man did not maliciously go around hurting women. He sincerely wanted to be in a genuine, committed relationship. What he lacked were the spiritual skills that would enable him to settle down in one place long enough to build anything solid with an equal partner. As soon as he saw human faults and weaknesses in a woman, he would run. The narcissistic personality is looking for perfection, which is a way to make sure that love NEVER has a chance to blossom. The initial high can be so heady, so tantalizing, that the real work of growth which needs to follow the initial attraction phase can seem too dull, too hard to commit to. As soon as the other person is seen to be a real human being, the ego is repelled and wants to find somewhere else to play.

I'm a Taurus man and I read this paragraph and it felt like they were talking about a Taurus man. So what are your views?

I wanna say Pisces, Yep smells like fish

Fits some Leo females I've known.

Posted by PVAF Yup. It's a perfect description of some Taurus men I've met. You're the first one whose admitted to having this issue though. Kudos to you for being self aware.

So PVAF, whatever happened to these Taurus men that you've met?

Posted by PVAF Ones still single to my knowledge. Don't know about the other. I don't think they're aware that they are the issue. Leave a bunch of wreckage wherever they go...in terms of broken hearts. Blackhole Venus maybe?

The questions that I have to ask the readers is: What can these people do for themselves to evolve? And what can others do to help them? Be it help from a lover or friend.

I think Taurus men tend to have the opposite problem. We get so comfortable with someone, who may not be the best fit, and are so passive and lazy that we don't actually play the numbers game when it comes to dating. I am always encouraging my male bull friends to date around alot more before settling. I think Taurus gets held to a higher standard, on these boards in particular. Aries or Gemini sleeps around, acts flaky, and its expected. But Taurus is generally seen as the "good guy" and if we go through a player phase or are non-committal, indecisive, or slow at a young age, we take heat for it. That slow plodding behavior in the early part of the relationship is our only defense though. We know once we settle in and get cozy, we are stuck for the most part.

I think it fits a Scorpio man

Taurus men in my life have staying power, they thrive in building the relationship and stick by you through thick and thin

Scorpio men... they come pretty strong, give you a soulmate vibe and then the mindfuckery begins

LOL - it is not just the men.

sounds exactly like the guy I went out with for a few months. He's single at the age of 41, desperately wants a family but wonders why no women can be good enough to fit in his grand plan of life. We broke off twice, he regretted the first time, so we got back together (with me telling him I couldn't possibly see him again as I had to move on, he panicked and confessed. I always wonder what would have happened or how long it would have taken him to do if I hadn't said anything ) . this last breakup happened 6 Months ago , we are are still friends... I feel like he regrets his decision again. I always thought Taurus are very decision and cautious . but why did he impulsively cut me off and come to regret later? he told me he has low EQ but I still don't understand.

I'm intrigued to read your thoughts Impulsv. 🙂

Why you looking at me ??

wow. nice comment Impulsv.

Taurus I know same belief as above single at 39. He said last he's turn down cuz not exiting enough. Women who played game really got him going but now he's tiring of it n seeing the ugliness of it. I told him if u want excite bring it urself. I mean really like he's not even that adaventurer or exciting yet judges others by it. Makes no sense. Although I love the way he is I just find it odd he has these high demands he doesn't even met. So I guess he's going to have to learn it will always fail as excitement ends after so long.
