What? Who says this ?

I am pisces myself and we are definitely good people! My twin brother is obviously pisces too and he is very nice, not mean at all!

It is not nice to generalise people just based on their sun sign, and especially when sign sign is so sensitive, understanding and kind...

All the pisces that i know are nice people in general!

I'm a Scorpio Sun/Cancer Rising/Gemini Moon/Scorpio Venus/Gemini Mars.

I have a love/hate relationship with Pisces men.

When I was younger, I used to get along with my dad. He was a very dotting and dedicated father who helped me a lot through my struggles. He paid for my education and was really kind to give me great advice. Once I finished college and started fending for myself, he became ruthless. He dropped me of his radar. He became very demeaning and would constantly put me down. I never understood why he did such a 180 on me. That's probably because my brother has become a "man" and he now feels closer to him. Every time I try to initiate conversation, he puts me down by calling me "incapable" or "stupid". He became very mean. He also never follows through with a plan and is very good at playing the "victim". Although I have great respect for him because he worked really hard to pay for my education, this does not justify subjecting myself to his verbal abuse. At this stage, I'm not trying to comprehend and I'm letting him go for both our sakes. I'm sure he loves me and is proud of me, but his recent behavior towards me is uncalled for and I can't take it. It hurts to be a ghost.

My Pisces "ex". He was the flakiest person I've ever come across. He cancelled our first date three times without a single apology then disappeared. He dared to come back 7 months later only to dump me three weeks later because his interest in me was only "physical". He was very mean on our second date by calling me "ghetto", "boring" and "slow". I got a quick reality slap. I didn't expect him to be so mean to someone he barely knew. That was the worst date. Cherry on top when he told me he was only into my "body" because I didn't spark his interest intellectually (which is the polar opposite of what he had told me weeks prior). He then disappeared. He was the sweetest guy on our first date (they all are anyway). I'm sure he is a great guy, he was just a meanie to me. I know he was going through a lot at the time, but his external circumstances did not justify such behavior towards someone who was nothing but nice to him. I still think he can be a great boyfriend to any girl. He has a soft spot that I didn't find in any other guy. He's got something special, genuine and rather warmly romantic but he prefers to behave like a "player" because that's what society tells you to do in your twenties right?! I'm sure that once he grows up a little bit, he'll make any girl happy.

I don't want to generalize, but some Pisces men are not as sensitive as they appear to be at first. They're ruthless and can turn into a meanie for no apparent reason. They're not stable enough for me and live too much in their heads. They make one million plans and follow through with only 10% of these. They constantly change their minds and lack consistency.

The flip side is they're so deep and sweet on a good day. They can be your best friend and will cater to your needs. They're nice folks, until they're not.

I distance myself from any Pisces individual I was once close with, whether female or male. I worked with a Pisces female and she was self-absorbed and very bossy even if she didn't hold any managerial position and had just started working in the company. That said, I find Pisces women far stronger than Pisces men.

Overall, I think they're great people but I cannot handle their inability to be confrontational and be honest with people. Swimming away or being plain mean to reject the person is not the way to go about any situation.

Ok i understand that you have had bad experience with pisces and maybe YOU personally don't get along with them really well, but that doesn't mean that you don't get along with all the pisces people and it is not nice to generalise the whole sign based on just two people!

Pisces men are very sensitive, maybe more sensitive then they show...they hide their emotions a lot

Pisces women are possibly bossy because they are ambitious and hardworking, but they are definitely not self absorbent, we care a lot about other people! Maybe sometimes we care too much about other people and forget about ourselves.

OP asked why some people think Pisces get such a bad rep and I explained why based on my two encounters which happen to have the same traits OP mentioned in their post. This is very subjective.

I said I don't want to generalize! I specifically used the word "some" to avoid any misunderstanding. As I said, not all of them are like those Pisces I described.

I hate how one can't express their views without being accused of generalization. This board is becoming slightly frustrating to me.

I also mentioned their very obvious qualities and said they were good people, please. I can still recognize the good from the bad in everyone regardless of their sun signs ...

I did NOT extend my perspective to all Pisces. I spoke about these two specifically because we are all talking about our experiences with Pisces. Same goes for the Pisces woman. I explain that she was a certain way, but I didn't extrapolate my views to all Pisces!

But fair enough if you don't get along with Pisces that is fine, we all have signs we don't get along with as well as some other possibly

I knew pisces who were annoying to me as well, always complaining about everything and I also knew pisces who don't. So i think it just depends on the overall chart.

Sorry I didn't mean to annoy you, but I get protective over my pisces people! hehe

My apologies for not expressing my thoughts properly! I'm a Scorpio Sun with a Gemini Moon so sometimes my words tend to be harsh and I don't realize it until someone calls me out on it!

Also interesting thing, she is not very good when she is talking about something that affects her emotionally but she is the best sales person!

What I like about Pisces people is that they are very much in touch with their feelings. They just "feel" and are very articulate in expressing their emotions. Pisces seem to have no problem with showing their true emotions, like real softies ha.

As a Scorpio woman, I am very "defensive" when it comes to expressing my emotions because I feel so deep that I prefer to conceal my feelings under a tough "appearance". I have a Scorpio sister and she's the same! Ha.

I agree that on this site, you see more complaining than praise for them. Not sure why that is. It seems kinda pathetic, like we just don't know how to appreciate good people.

On the other hand, no one's perfect, and we all have to deal with each other's shortcomings...so Pisces gets scrutinized like everyone else.

Funny thing is I've never seen a Pisces guy stand up and complain about all the bashing going on here....

You should also see people defending and praising them (thus positive insight). Try to commit the good to memory because sometimes the brain is more apt to remember the bad while forgetting the good that it then gets demoralized.

One of my friends recently dated a Pisces man, it was very intense and short lived before the Pisces man stopped contacting them and KAPISH that was it! No reason! Before this he was saying all kinda of extremely devote things and really making my friend fall hard. My friend is still getting over it.
My partners cousin is also a Pisces and she is in a long term concrete, happy relationship. She works extremely high up in a Pharmaceutical company and enjoys theatre, arts, foods, company. When I see her she always has the most genuine, bright smile and you get this aura of such a BEAUTIFUL soul.

Hmmmm Some people are compatible with Pisces men, and some are not...
I think they mainly get a bad rep - from past relationships with personal sign women... Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer. Mainly ones with the Moon in those signs ^.

This is purely based on what I've been seeing around me (and in my own life) --> I would suggest that young women in their teens, 20s or 30s... who do not have one of the following Moon signs, should think twice about having a romantic relationship with a Piscean/Neptunian man:

posted August 13, 2015 04:15 AM            

When my Leo mother cheated on my father, he became a religious fanatic. He has since dropped the act and acts really tough. He's unrecognizable.

When my Pisces ex (Cancer Moon/Aquarius Venus) got fired from his job, he started drinking a lot and only cared about having sex with plenty of randoms.

Unlike other signs who deal with problems in a logical and intellectual manner, Pisces find release through the expression of their emotions, in a not so productive way.

These men seem to be extremely sensitive unlike their female counterparts. Pisces females take criticism and rejection better in my opinion. Pisces men tend to be all up in their feelings.

Their extreme sensitivity is their biggest asset but also their downfall.

I feel sorry for any woman who comes across a Pisces man in pain. It is not a pretty sight.

They also have plenty of dreams but those are only real in their imagination. Unlike Pisces women who tend to follow through with their plans, Pisces men prefer to dream without acting on their ambitions unless someone pushes them to. They're very hardworking though. They can dedicate their entire time to work.

As a Scorpio woman with a Gemini Moon and Mars, their inability to face reality is too much for me. They prefer to escape responsibilities instead of dealing with them. Not to mention, they can't confront anyone about anything! When you try to confront them about their mistakes, they swim away. I can't deal with people who cannot handle expressing their opinion in order to find a solution to a given problem. It builds up negative energy when someone shuts you down like that because sure, they don't want to express their opinion by means of an argument, but their also prevent the other party from expressing their feelings and that's slightly "selfish". It increases unspoken resentment in both parties.

Scorpio Moon women can handle so many different things people might throw their way... because this is a very resilient Moon sign.
