That is too bad for your friend. I can identify to a point because there were times I would purposely choose to be in a dating relationship with someone I knew I would eventually break up with, cry my tears and move on. When I went through marriage counseling many years ago, the therapist said "Why do you surround yourself with broken people, believing you can fix them, only to be let down? Are you so afraid of finding real happiness and being vulnerable?"

Yes.. that was it... I could allow myself to be hurt for helping but to be hurt while being vulnerable scared the heck out of me.

(When I got him in to astrology I remember that he checked her chart, and was really surprised. He thought everyone's chart interpretations would be nice or watered down or something, and apparently hers was surprisingly afflicted. His chart is pretty great, so that really shocked him.)

Apparantly, dating much younger people isn't something all that common with Saggie people, but older doesn't seem to be too bad.

I do wonder why he feels odd about dating her. Maybe it brings him back to how he was at that age (Saggies tend to realize that age does bring about wisdom, how I was at 20 is NOT how I now and I lived a whole lot in those years). Maybe he is worried about her feeling the age thing as they progress?

I think there is a big difference between Capricorn women and men. Most women I have encountered are one of two ways; either determined to make a name for themselves and work their butts off (like my co-worker) or they flounder horribly almost in a haze (like my ex-hubby's sister). I have noticed this more and more as I meet Cappy women.

The same can be true for just about all signs though

I am sure your Saggie buddy will figure it out sometime.

I know you started this thread as a piece of humor; then, it became a valid discussion on the sexes-then...until Miss Sue broke in to levity the climate. Thank you Sue!

Way back in the first few pages I had some thoughts on the subject. Now I,m not sure I can remember.

Lioneye,

You have some great insights. Many good things said by many people. But I want to back up a little.

One thing I've experienced in the US is that bad boys seem more attracted to nice girls, & the bad girls attract the good guys.

That kinda leaves me in a tough spot. I am a 'nice girl' who wants a 'nice guy'.

Another thing is- I HATE TO DATE!! What I mean is everyone is on their best behavior. Then when will it get down to the brass tacks? How many dates does it take? I hate that shite.

I want to be friends first, but men hear that as the kiss of death. I've tried to make a few male friends as a single person. They either run in terror, cuz I'm a natural flirt in a friendly way, and they can't handle that. I try to make people feel good about themselves. My female friends understand this about me. I'm strait, but flirt/play in the same mannor.

Feedback from men of any country would be great. How do you guys handle female friendships?

I'm with you on Clark or Peter -- ANY DAY!!! I've had my fill of "bad boys"..... but the 'former' bad-boys are great company for one who has done her own walking on the wild side

Well, Jupiter's been sitting on my Sun/Moon midpoint in Scorpio for awhile, and I had a weird little romance start and stop around the time I realized that. Lasted for a few weeks tops.

LMAO! I like that one.

The experience has not been repeated (knock on wood.) I think because I was so traumatized the first go round.

Guess I was just lucky? Who knows, I just know that was a once in a lifetime and I'll never find that sort of relationship again.

.. let's see ..
.. ask hubby :-) ..
.. avoid shaky mouse finger ..

.. watch as the software posts/sends .. as there is a pause while the LL server checks the text in the post .. and if many folk are posting here it takes a few nano minutes to get through ..
if whilst tapping one's fingers .. the descision is made to try another post 'send' .. then the result is a double post .. or triple in some cases .. or .. .. ..

to edit .. i.e. delete a post .. .. go to the 'edit' link on the post window .. wait for edit window to appear .. select all the txt .. go 'delete' .. then retype a single charcter .. or whatever (there must be some txt left or the software won't accept the 'delete' .. then press 'submit'

.. that should work ..

.. yeah the multiple posts catch me out as well .. .. one way to suss it .. and idon't know the 'windows' software .. .. but on my desktop there is a visual 'bar' meter that shows the activity of data being transmitted or received .. so when i press 'submit' (reply ro post) .. i watch the bar meter 'n if it shows cont. data being sent (instead of just a 'blip' ) then i know the post has been sent .. .. the LL server normally (seems) to take one back to the first page on the (posted) thread when the txt has been accepted .. it's usually just a case of waiting a bit for the 'wheels to turn' along the internet ..

.. sometimes .. using too many of those 'smiley' icons will cause a big delay (poss. because many k.f.'s are trying to access them at the same time ) .. .. 'smiley''s plus posting an 'image' link (so it displays on the LL pages) can be a no no sometimes .. .. as in the post won't send ...

if i'm in doubt .. i usually check the thread to see if my post has actually appeared before trying a resend .. .. then try again if i 'ave to .. .. also i'm in the habit of using a text editor to compile a post (then copy it to the 'submiit reply' box) .. that way .. if there is a screw-up .. the text remains intact on my desktop .. safe in the separate app. (i.e. the text editor programme) ..

and just saw this note on the editor i'd jotted down months ago .. got a feeling it may have been destined to this thread .. ..

**if it weren't for men .. would humans still wage war ?? ... **
( offhand thought )
and in short i reckon the answer would be 'Yes' .. trying in my mind to visualise how a modern military setup may look .. and operate .. if designed totally by women .. actually the thought is frightenening .. .. but i reckon the ladies would still wage war .. somehow ..

I don't fit the traditional male stereotype. I have strong feminine characteristics,and they got me mistakened for being gay and being called "faggot"

My hands aren;t of the typical male.

A typical male hand involves ring finger longer than index finger.

A typical female had involves index finger and ring finger being equal length.

I have index finger and ring finger being equal length, and so I have a female type of hand which correlates with my strong feminine characteristics.

ring finger is sensitive to testosterone.
index finger is sensitive to estrogen.

My ring finger (on both hands) is longer than my index finger.

I have long, slender fingers and soft hands.

I am all female- so that hand analogy doesn't hold water (and you're not alone in being different now Glaucus )

I am all female too, but my index finger is longer than my ring finger?
