Do you ever find that you really like the Men (or women) of a certain sign...yet you don't really click with or understand the Women (men) of that SAME sign? And why do you feel this is the case? Example: My Mom (Virgo) used to tell me that Aries Men were some of her favorite people on the planet. Yet...she didn't always know how to handle her Aries daughter - ME. Lol. And I feel the same way about Virgo Women - they confuse me! But I get along easier with the Men. IP: Logged |

Taurus for me. Taurus men make best friends for me. Taurus women usually take a pass... despite Taurus DC, Jupiter, and Mars (in 7th to boot).IP: Logged |

Not really, but it could just be a gender thing. For example, I know I saw at least one thread where a woman said she loved Aries men (sun or mars, I forget) because it made them assertive, but not in women because it made them bitchy and/or bossy...in other words, it made both genders assertive, but in one it was good and the other bad, probably because of expectations (men are supposed to be assertive while women are not) and/or because assertive men made her feel desired (if asserting his interest in her) and/or safe (especially if asserting on her behalf) while assertive women made her feel intimidated (especially if perceived as competition of any sort, and more so if she felt inhibited about being assertive herself).That said, I have noticed I tend to either relate very well to Plutonians and those with strong Scorpio, or we clash especially hard. Perhaps the Pluto or Scorpio simply enhances the energies there which create a greater like or dislike, but gender itself seems irrelevant. And off and on I've been comparing my natal to the natal of someone who could not stand me back in school (I didn't care one way or another about her though when she gave me a hard time I wasn't inhibited from returning the favor, but I forgot about her as soon as she was out of sight) and who was so different in appearance and demeanor that I bet it would shock most astrologers that we were born on the same day in the same hospital (she was born hours later as I recently found out), and to top it off we had very similar names (we were forced to sit next to each other in one class because of that). I'm thinking of sharing it in IA later. Apparently even tiny differences can make for some pretty big gulfs between individuals. In relation to this her friends would have nothing to do with me, nor mine with her (though we share the same gender and an almost identical natal chart). IP: Logged |

Omg libras. I seriously despise the men, sorry. But I really love the women.Pisces. I like Pisces men but I find the women a little ridiculous. Oh cancer too. Cancer men are fine but for some reason all the cancer sun women I met are very...... Flamboyant. Maybe they all had a huge dose of Leo. IP: Logged |

I like aries men but am intimidated and feel a dissonance in nature with aries women. in one way this is more about attraction than gender, there's a kind of cordoning off when it comes to desire. I can imagine having the same response to aries men I feel no attraction for. Kind of like fetishising something generally am fearful of. However, it's true there's some gender bias as, although I liked aries23degree posts before I knew he was a man, I had to fight some defensive response I experienced to the confidence when thinking he was female. Another recent experience of a dominant female (which was positive, yet invoked a desire response in me) made me realise just how ingrained certain gender preconceptions are in me and that this alone raises bridges - so to speak - often unknowingly & automatically.On the other hand, I like scorpio women much more than the men. I respect the ability and mentality of gaining power on the sly but in the men I see it as a weakness and borne in resentment. This makes me wonder if it's coming down to masculine/feminine planers. I also like virgo women much more than the men. Sun in taurus 6th. Sq Mars in Leo. Opp asc in scorpio. Venus in taurus. Mercury in Aries opp pluto in libra. Sn Aries. Leo stands out as a sign I like both women and men equally. I like the strength and dominance of both in this sign. Aquarius too to a lesser extent, I like both genders equally and for the same reasons. IP: Logged |

To me both Aries men and women pretty much the same. I had two Aries parents, so I've seen all about them. They are both very self centered, assertive and forceful. So whenever I meet other Aries men or women, I can just tell that they are. I also think the moon is very important here. For example a Gemini moon with Aries sun can be even more forceful where with a pisces moon it can be more hidden and in the background but still very apparent.

I am Scorpio with a Scorpio stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto) in my 6th house ruled by Libra. I have Moon in Libra in the 5th, Mars in Sagittarius conjunct Pluto on my 7th house cusp ruled by Scorpio.
Libra men are too passive-aggressive and femenine for all of my Plutonian and Saturian energy, but I love Libra women as friends. One of my best friends in HS was a Libra and we were inseparable for a long time.
I have a love/ hate thing going on with Taurus men, but the sex is out of this world. I absolutely adore Taurus women. I enjoy Aries men as friends, but the women are too impulsive for my liking. I feel safe around Cancers, both genders. When I was younger, I had a thing for Scorpiomen but once I realized how played out and annoying their emotional game tactics were, I lost interest (generally speaking. I'm sure there's plenty of these men thar can sweep me off my feet!  ). Scorpio women are just nice to observe from a difference because it allows me to see how other people see me, another Scorpio, to a certain extent. I would love to see how being close friends with another Scorpio female would be. It's crazy how I attract mostly Scorpio men and Taurus men, but barely and women and I would probably love a friendship with these two signs seeing how I'm a Scorpio stellium, Taurus ASC. Virgo women make the best friends. I've always been indifferent to Virgo men, nothing about these guys grab my attention except their snobbish attitude and OCD Aquarius women are amazing friends and I'm so drawn to them! The men too except I have a harder time getting along with them for obvious reasons. I'm too intense for the average Aquarian. Leo men and women equally annoy me with their egotistical and bossy attitudes. Sometimes the spotlight isn't deserved. I can handle a male Leo only because they're egotistical by nature. It's a "man" thing so in that circumstance, it's more acceptable unfortunately. That's just how I see it. I guess you can call it double standards I'm Indifferent to Capricorn men and women although the men are extremely sexy and I admire an average Capricorn women's drive to succeed. These people handle business! Sagittarius men are sexy, but too flightly for a relationship. I haven't come too close to Sagittarius women to form my own opinion.* ...

Sag or Gemini men are the only ones I am likely to have problems with. It may seem strange but my experience is that they have kind of a built in paranoia that everyone is out to screw them over. (Not the women though - they're fun!) But there's a Gemini man with sag moon that I get along with. Go figure. LOL
We're not close though. It really just depends on how "close" the friendship is. Generally speaking I just don't do well with close friendships it seems. IP: Logged | |
