The Virgo Man

The VIRGO Man
"Why, if a fish came to me, and told me he was going on a journey, I should say, 'With what porpoise?' " "Don't you mean 'purpose'?" said Alice. "I mean what I say," the Mock Turtle replied in an offended tone.

We may as well get this out into the open right away. Don't pin your hopes on a Virgo man if your heart is hungry for romantic dreams and fairy tales, or you'll find yourself on a starvation diet. A love affair with a Virgo will dump a warm sentimentalist on the cold ground with a hard thud, and it can hurt.

This man lives almost entirely on a practical, material level, and he has little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Of course, the whole problem may be academic anyway, since it will take no little effort to bring him any_where near the threshold of a man-woman relationship in the first place. He's not the type to serenade you beneath your boudoir window. You'll have a long, lonely wait on your moonlit balcony until he starts climbing the rose trellis (or the fire escape, if you live in a walk-up).

Actually, Virgos are deeply involved with love from earliest childhood, but not the Romeo-Juliet kind of love. His chief way of expressing the word is concerned with unselfish devotion to family, friends and those weaker or more disorganized than himself. He was born with an instinctive love of work, love of duty and discipline and devotion to the helpless. Even the unevolved Virgo, ,who doesn't quite reach such heights, feels slightly guilty that he isn't living up to a selfless ideal in some way.

The kind of love which displays itself in dramatic emo_tions, sentimental promises, tearful declarations and mushy affection, not only leaves a Virgo man cold, it can frighten him into catching the nearest bus or train out of town. (Planes are too fast and too expensive for him, unless he's really desperate.) But he can be melted if the temperature is just right, even though he seems to be made of a com_bination of steel and ice. There are definitely ways to the Virgo heart. Secret ways. Aggressive pursuit is not one of them. Neither is coquetry nor sexuality, as many a flirta_tious vamp and slinky siren has learned, to her surprise and disappointment.

Virgos seek quality rather than quantity in romance. Since quality is at pretty much of a premium in any cate_gory, they have few real love affairs, and the few they do have are destined to be unlucky or sad in some way, more often than not. Virgo's reaction to such a disappointment is normally to bury himself in the hardest work he can find, stay away from society in general, and be twice as cautious at the next opportunity. You can see that you'll have to use considerable strategy and patience. The basic Virginian instinct is chastity, and he's turned from it only for a good cause or for a mighty good woman. Many Virgos-though admittedly not all-can live with celibacy far more easily than any other Sun sign, just as they put up with rules of discipline they don't understand, because obedience to fate without struggling comes naturally to them. If fate decrees a single life, Virgo is prepared to accept it without excess regret or emotional trauma, so there are lots of Virgo bachelors around-but still, in their quiet way, they can manage some very poetic, if fragile, love affairs.

Although he's never obvious, Virgo can be a master of the art of subtle seduction. A couple of generations of women who have trembled inside when a certain French_man smiles his shy, gentle smile can tell you all about it. Maurice Chevalier didn't become a legend because he has a singing voice like Caruso, you know. He may not be of my generation, but I too get butterflies in the heart region when I see or hear him.

The Virgo man is a blend of sharp intellect and solid earth. He can be detached enough to break lots of hearts with a cool kind of flirting, but his critical analytical sense and his fastidious discr

Spot on Bird as usual:-)

If one is a hopeless romantic and pines for chocs and roses and declarations of love daily....forget it!!!

"And when he smiles-and you can see yourself in his clear eyes" - dam, that's the bottom-line, why have all the virgos I know got such adorable eyes or "champagne eyes" as Loonybird describes them:-)

Oh and as for looking for compliments...they are far and few between....when I asked what first attracted Mr. V. to me - he answered my ears!!! I thought he was joking and said come on....surely you mean the eyes. No, he wasn't joking at all. Guess I must have the best looking ears in Ireland - cuh!

Oh man........"sniff".. sniff"...
I am blushing......that was nicest Virgo thing I have ever read in my entire "Virgo life"....

Thank you Freebird ?thank you?

That means ... there is still hope for me somewhere...!!
Need to translate it into Norwegian first....!
😉

Hey Alana....he likes your ears.and I like your hands..??
whats gonna be..??
hehe
😉

For you my dearest Q-bone, I have just cut off my hands (really!!! I am typing this with my toes to you:-) and I am putting them now in a jiffy-bag for you and posting them all the way to Norway.....alot can still be done with a pair of hands, minus a body:-)

A x

ohhh holy jesus..... I am the luckiest "Virgo" in the world... I only have a big heart to give you as responce...
Nothing special about it..but, it is good and big enough to jumping and bumping..!! I know you Acuarians like it..(have daughter at this very special sign)..🙂
you are great..
😉

Hey Alana...have I told you lately that I so adore your "toes?" Yeah, sure...go ahead and send them on to me 🙂 I'll put them on a very decorative pedistal and watch them dance away...a flitter they will a go! You really are a beautiful woman in so many ways...one thing is forsure - YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE MR. V AND HIS ATTRACTION TO YOUR EARS....think anyone else would dare to be so different? and in my book (when I get around to that) different is GOOD! 😉

Happy day today

Freebird

Hi Q - *handing you a tissue* - You are quite welcome my friend - I am glad that you enjoyed reading the info. on "your kind". My son is a Virgo and he is the most incredible guy ever! A sweetness about him that is so real and deep. His hugs are awesome especially when he holds me forever and won't let go. I hope someday to be so lucky to meet a man like my son or sons...a very blessed mom I am! 😉

hugs to you!

Thats it.. Alana torn apart....LOL..🙂

Freebird...you are incredible....I am sure your son is too..
I just wished every person in this planet get your wisdom and feelings...truly and honestly from bottom of my heart..
You and Alana ...sigh... cant say anything...
PERFECT IS THE LEAST I CAN SAY---!!
🙂

Hello everyone. Freebird specifically.

I got to admit, I feel kind of odd reading that. I personally am not critical, not outwardly anyway. It's in my nature to notice things, but I don't necessarily say what I notice. Even when the tongue asserts itself, it's curbed by another factor in my nature that considers how the other person will receive my commentary. Oh, by the way, on line 22 you wrote, "unevolved Virgo, , doesn't." One "," suffices. Also on line 61,"know pne Virgo man," that's "one Virgo man." And on line 64, "remain technical virgins, but they do always emain puu in outlool-always," that's "remain technical virgins, but they do always remain pure in outlook." Also, in mentioning the Enterprise. The U.S.S. Enterprise is somewhat incorrect. When a ship has a U.S.S. title, it's because it's a United States Ship. At the time of Star Trek, earth was united, so it would make more sense to say E.S. Enterprise, Earth Ship Enterprise.

🙂 Trust, I'm joking. But is that what you really expect from a Virgo? It's possible to notice things and not criticize. I refuse to believe the typical Virgo is like this. I'm a double Virgo, which supposedly means in many respects, I'm absurdly Virgo, but outside the planet size intellect 🙂 (yeah baby, there's confidence there), the practicality, the inherent kindness, and analytical nature, much of the emotional stuff doesn't apply.

I FEEL I need to address this part. I'm assuming the author of that isn't a Virgo. If she was, she'd know better. Though rigid we may look, we're actually quite sensitive. Just because something isn't outwardly apparent, doesn't mean it's not there. It's like a rich man dressing down. His clothes don't necessarily chatter about his wealth, but it's there. I feel a lot of things immensely. I mean my emotions run rampant, feeling literally high when something happens to confer happiness and basement bomb chamber depressed when hell remarks, "Honey I'm home," but I don't necessarily feel comfortable showing it. It's in there, but it's an "ode to stability" to keep those things underwraps. To note, even Spock experienced emotion, it just didn't reveal.

With a moon in Aries in the 8th and Venus in Leo, maybe I'm not the typical Virgo in this regard. But I guess that's my point. The author's unbridled haphazard ambition in giving a description of characteristics and entitling it "The Virgo Man," is quite presumptuous. Am I really supposed to be that guy? My room is actually somewhat junky. I can get addicted to a female to the point where self containment hangs his head and walks home forlorn. And true, without alcohol I probably won't be apprehended with aggressive sexuality, hell, even with alochol, that probably won't do it, but that slow burning white heat thing. I need emotional intensity in a relationship. For me that slow buring thing would be gamma radiation. As for celibacy. Curiousity can take me some of everywhere, including a bedroom or kitchen floor with someone that may not perch on a pedestal. A case of quantity over quality. People are individuals. Does that mean I fail at being a Virgo? Also, it forgets Virgo is an earth sign. Practical though we may be, it denotes sexuality. Granted, not flagrant sexuality, but with the right person behind a bolted door, intense, kinky, always clean 🙂 sexuality.

I don't know. Most of what's given is a compliment. I don't know why my initial visceral reaction is somewhat negative. Maybe it's the implied squareness of who it describes. I don't understand the feeling yet, I can't put my finger on why I'm having it, but that's my take on it.

Oh, and one more thing. How dare you imply I don't have wings. I haven't walked anywhere in years. LOL 🙂

Counting Crows,
"Maaaan, I sure do love them red head girls. I just like all the boys from Texas. Come on and take a spin. I got a brand new set of wings."

Spelling error at the bottom. It's suppose to be;

Counting Crows,

"Maaaaan, I sure do love them red head girls. I'm just like all the boys from Texas. Come on and take a spin. I got a brand new set of wings."
Still doesn't fit, but I love the lyric and wings did come up so, there the lyric stands. Proud and unabashed in it's literature distinction from the rest of the post.
Enjoy,

VirgoSquared

Hello to you Mr. VirgoS-

I posted that because I thought some may find it interesting...I see you did as well. I have a feeling that you know I did not write it but copied it from a site. As with anything that we read...it is not right or wrong - it just is. I know you know that we each will perceive from our own POV and what we know to be true for us. I am not offended...no problem. You enjoy analysizing - somebody's gotta do it and you seem to be one very smart cookie 🙂 Me thinks it is the Aries in you 😉

I enjoy reading your fascinating posts...keep up the good work Virgoguysquared. Spread those wings and fly!!!!!

Freebird flying high counting crows sitting on a fence below me somewhere in Texas.

Hello Freebird,

Yeah, I know you didn't write it. My reply wasn't aimed at you, that's why I said, "the author." You said you're not offended. I didn't mean for it be sharp in tone, hope it wasn't taken that way. I think part of my reaction was because I've read it before. It was in a book on love signs I believe, but I can't remember exactly what it was or the author's name. Actually, I didn't get the book because of this section. Don't get me wrong, most of what's said is a compliment, but that emotion, or iron heart stuff kind of bends me obscure. I don't understand the feeling, but it's there none the less. At the very least it spurs thought and discussion. Those are like candy. Thanks for taking the time to type it.

You think it's the Aries huh? 🙂 The Aries had the visceral reaction, the Virgo sun and rising just expressed it. 🙂
That Aries. That's a hard dog to keep on the porch. LOL.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment on the posts,

VirgoSquared

Hi VS- hope you don't mind the abrev. Okay, now why would you want to keep a dog on a porch? That is not natural...Rams are for roaming, exploring, creating, go where no "dog" has gone before, expressing, feeling, climbing the mountains and never giving up...Maybe you are not keeping to the porch? See that bone over yonder? I just picked it up and threw it waaaay to the otherside of the fence (where the crows were sitting) Go for it...grab that bone and let us know what you do with it.

BTW my Virgo son has the same b-day as yours....great day!

Hi VirgoSquared,

I don't think anyone likes generalizations. I know Qbone sure doesn't 🙂 !!!

For what it's worth - my experience is that Virgos are actually very sensitive. They just don't like to make a display of it as it makes them vulnerable and offends their sense of logic 😉. And most of the rest of us don't like to be vulnerable either...

ScorpGal

Hello everyone.

Thanks ScorpGal, you understand me. 🙂

Freebird, am I so low in your regard you think I'd mind the abbreviation "VS" for VirgoSquared? Come on. We aren't that bad are we?

However! I do take profound issue with abbreviating "abbreviation" (abrev). That's like feeding a cow a hamburger. There's something perverted about that I just won't stand for Man!

🙂 LOL
God, you really see us (meaning Virgos) as being squares. It's cool. By the way. You're right. The 31st is a great day. You got a special boy on your hands.

Goodnight all. Technically morning, but you get the sentiment,

"VS"
VirgoSquared

Freebird... mt lady..!!

"I hope someday to be so lucky to meet a man like my son or sons...a very blessed mom I am!"

You don't need "luck" lady....on the contrary...the man who you target with your blessing, is lucky...

🙂

arrggg.. I hate typos
mt=my

Seeing Obone post I wonder is Virgo man anything like Java man?

Hey Ya'll,
Dreamy-Eyez here. As of late, all I have been witnessing are a whole lot of Virgo-bashing posts. So, I took it upon myself to dig a post up from the past just so that you can see that Virgos aren't all that bad. I you have anything to say, then don't be a stranger ya'll.
Dreamy-Eyez, out.

DE-Some of these woman/men are treated very badly,however yeah it's not a virgo thing,but still are virgos,so you can't do much.Lots and lots of bitter emotions with the bashers.I gave up a long time ago defending scorpios,my sign.Saying im not a ho,possessive,controlling,secretive and hiding something,etc.Doesn't matter much when there's ten other people saying yeah they are.Ooo or say that some scorpios don't like smothering and would like independant partners.Let it be,we were just lucky ones to have the better version of virgos in our lives.I know you want to right a wrong/know exactly where it's coming from but no,no matter whats posted,these peoples jerks are the only ones who are going to come to mind for them,can't change it.Unless maybe you were to show up on thier doorstep with an example.There's bad versions of every sign as well as the good ones too.Like geminis and sags for me,don't like the ones I got dealt but can't blame the starsign logically thinking because you'll be proven wrong at one point or another,gets hard to do though when your upset or angry.

Nobody is perfect, and "everybody has their own personal challenges to face" it is life. So try to be more understanding, its not going to help.. if we say.. that sign is bad.. or other is good.. we need to learn to see inside of ourselves.. to find what is going on.. not the out side..!!

What other says is generally comes from "their own point of view", if you get it as a fact... or god forbid "hard fact"..! then we will be lost in the jungle..!!

If you want to be "responsible" for your own action!

Trust your own gut feelings and stay there? never ask anyone for their advice?.

CancerBuddy, Q-bone, and Tiamat:
What's up Ya'll, Dreamy-Eyez, here. You know, I guess it is a lost cause to defend, when everyone else has the experience to back up their claims. Every starsign isn't read made for each individuals personal taste, so you can't satisfy a whole nation. Well, as long as I know in my heart who I'm great with and not, then I'm happy. Thank you for sharing your points of view with me. I'm naturally optimistic, but you can't just dwell on the "good" alone. You got to keep it real with the bad too. Dreamy-Eyez, out.

Dreamy-Eyez...hello there!

Why can we not just dwell on the good? I do. What you expect is what you will get. "There is nothing good or bad, but THINKING makes it so." ~Shakespeare

It's up to each one of us kid as to how we choose to perceive our experiences and there truly is good in each one IF that is what we focus on.

Again, we create our REALITY by our thoughts. Just another way to see something...

FB

I find it interesting that besides Q-bone, only Scorpio and Taurus girls are defending us male Virgo's.

Now I am a bit confused. I am allready in love with Alana. I also have feelings for Std. On top of that, I am starting to warm up towards Tiamat, and the other wonderful women sticking with us Virgo's.

Gosh, my love life is so complicated........

"There's no sense in harboring negativity, it just wastes precious mind space that could be used for more productive and perhaps creative efforts."

5 on that.

Virgos don't need a defense.

They'd rather be understood.

Those who take the time to understand them, are rewarded with interesting conversation, mutual respect and astounding loyalty.

... but is this simply a virgo thing? Mostly likely, not.... however I've found that showing (Virgos in particular) your "understanding" is the way to open and maintain a friendship/relationshit/etc...
