Every Cancer male I've encountered always tries to brag about something are they trying to overcome an insecurity???Its a behavior I could never understand because there bragging/lies never holds up and they end up looking more like a fool. Ever since grade school, I remember a Cancer classmate trying to brag about how much his dad makes only to find himself crying.
Then...To the point of my Dad were he purchased a retirement farm and is trying to up show everyone. Even thought everyone knows its a money pit and think he's an idiot for doing so. I don't get why they do Cancer males do it? My Planets

I think that feminine Sun signs or Masculine Moon signs tend to be show offs and braggards. Even feminine Mars signs/masculine Venus placements. I see this as energy that is uncomfortable in the planet its in and doesn't know how to express itself well i.e a masculine sign in a feminine planet. Kinda like the hulk in drag. Just awkward at times. What u speak of i see more in Aries/Leo/Sag Moon or Venus. Especially when there is a feminine Sun sign like Cap, Scorpio or Taurus. My Dad is Cancer Sun largely unsaspected by any planet. His Moon is in Cap, Mercury Leo, Venus/Mars conjunct in Virgo/Leo respectively. I think in his case, its his Sun in water and Mercury in fire that has him flaunt a lot. I know that Mercury is usually neutral. But in fire, it seems to carry extra "spunk". IP: Logged |

My first bf is a Cancer sun and Aries moon/Leo venus, and I never see this unnecessary bragging to gain acceptance??The thing he likes to brag about is me to other people, he likes the attention but I don't. For years before he now gets married, his friends told me that he often still talked about how wonderful his ex was, he even sometimes sang a song about his ex whenever he hung out with his friends, and the ex is me. One of his friend even tries to pursue me for years just because he hears about me from my Cancer sun Aries moon ex. And one time they were in a fight I've heard. But I do know one Cancer sun and I think he has moon in Cap. He definitely brags about his job positions and his wealthy home life which I absolutely am not interested to hear that in a first date. So I think he tries to gain my acceptance which is not on target. IP: Logged |

I don't know about bragging but I do see a lot of Cancers, male and female, trying to sell you all sorts of stories about themselves and their family to make you like them more. Very manipulative but they do it in a nice way and so people fall for it. It's pretty unflattering in my opinion. I don't see the point of the sob stories.IP: Logged |

Umm I have noticed this about Cancer males, they love to act like "tough" guys, maybe to hide their sensitive side from others. And yeah it's annoying as feck. But from a point of view, it might be necessary for them, to create this protective shell.IP: Logged |

Though plenty of Cancers (and Cancer moons, etc) do seem to require more reassurance than many, I have never known them to be braggarts.Sob stories are also rare (but at least I can think of a couple real life examples here), usually they "retreat into their shell." I have no patience for that, and have regretted losing friendships over it. (And just for the record, it's not just women who can give the silent treatment, say nothing is wrong while expecting you to figure out why they seem so upset with you, etc. One Cancer male was notorious for this. I don't put up with that behavior from men or women so we went our separate ways.) I can't recall any acting overly tough either, though one was exceedingly patriotic (which I do take for a Cancer trait), not to be confused with arrogant nationalism nor desire to have all other nations bow to us in submission. He was often kind and compassionate, nor did he expect mindless obedience (though he had no patience with mindless rebellion, either), but had no mercy for those he considered enemies of the United States--though he realized the US had to be mindful in how it acted as well to minimize enemies while still protecting itself (though I know such complexity is too much for many people to understand).

Lmao, sounds like you just surround yourself with bad company.
More generalizations I guess.
