Merc in Taurus doesn't express itself verbally, it's very physical in expression. once an emotion takes over the body expresses it, there is a strong need to posess others too.Sun/Merc/Moon Taurus is driven to express physically-magazines, and plays wouldn't be very interesting, eating, drinking, games, the beach, and a mate who enjoys being with him constantly would relate.
If a man says he's cheated on every woman he's ever dated he's setting you up for a challenge, so he's bored easily physically. Best mate for him would be a physical fitness expert, sports addict, mountain climber, someone who could push him to experience excitement and be there with him.
And the same mate would need to provide food, home, hospitality.
Very macho placements, would attract a woman who is a constant challenge.
He doesn't want his mother, he needs a counterpart who is what other men want, to feel needed.
Sensitive men like motherly women, macho men like challenging/demanding women.
I'm a Taurus with Mars conjunct Ascendant in Sag, but I have a sweet and caring cancer moon.
Taurus moons in general are not that complex with relationships and need devotion in the physical sense of the word.
You have to be there every day.
Personally I see the merc in taurus as the culprit because most believe someone is emotionally engaged and therefore not likely to cheat, but merc in taurus doesn't get as involved mentally in a partner who is not there. And he or she may feel guilty cuddling when he or she needs a lot of it, and so accepts it whenever possible.
I never have been able to date a merc in taurus, and I have many flighty placements.
Now Taurus moons are very emotionally fulfilling people when you are making it work every day, as they can cuddle every night..if you are working on the relationship not just the cuddling.
That part is really hard..
Anyway I've had lots of taurus men in my life and taurus moons, mercs, venus, due to my taurus sun attracting them, and the best method is to determine if there is success right from the start and commit to being there every night. If you can't do it then back out.
Pisces men and men with pisces placements are also great cuddlers.
