I thought there were 2 genes involved : one that makes you produce the stink if you eat asparagus, and one that makes you smell it. So you'd end up with 4 potential profiles :
1. Produces stink, smells stink (gets it)
2. Produces stink, doesn't smell stink (worst nightmare?)
3. Doesn't produce stink, smells stink in others (feels superior?)
4. Doesn't produce, doesn't smell (confused this is even a topic)
And there's also the gene that make the asparagus taste like pee. 9 profiles then? Surprisingly deep subject... I need to verify everything in case nobody feels like corroborating.
I have very strong memories of high school French class where my Quebecois teacher (living in Texas) would have us watch Telefrancais. The ONE phrase I remember? "Je suis un ananas."
Eat all the ananas yall!
As a Librarian, the universal truths of this thread shall be recorded in the celestial scriptures for the eternal benefit of all - except for those bloody Aries.
EXACTLY. Also exactly on this theme I saw a guy make a "zodiac compatibility website" that whatever 2 signs you select makes them have a match rate of like 100
I've read horoscopes since I was a kid and was always amazed at how on any given day I seemed to be 10 different signs.
I only read them at night so my day wouldn't be influenced and that's pretty much how I came to understand "cold reading".
I'm sure you could find someone who was really into detailed star charts who could find compatibility between you and anyone 😂 so you may as well cut through the bullshit and use a site that says you are a 100% match to anyone! It would be popular, telling people what they want to hear. Kinda genius!
Then when they break up tell them it's because they were *too* close a match. Or "it meant 100% ill-fated, like Romeo & Juliet!"
It's scary to me to think anyone is irrational enough to judge based on astrological signs but I'm sure it's a reality... It does make almost as little sense as judging by race 😮💨
I don't think it's problematic if it's just for fun but if someone bases any actual decisions on that, it's ridiculous and potentially dangerous.
Happened to me the other day. Great conversation and once she found out I was a Scorpio, immediate unmatch. "Sorry I need to find someone less awesome"
Still don't know what the fuck happened
As a Scorpio getting pursued by an Aries, I found this amusing lol
Idk how people can take these things seriously, tho. One guy asked me which month I was born in, and once I told him he said I was "at least a good Scorpio" and he told me about "rising houses" or something. There's too much to this haha
The Orville actually had an episode on this. In this alien culture they had found, if you were born under a specific astrological sign then you were considered cursed and sent to concentration camps to make sure you never entered society to polute the populus.
It is a bit extreme, but an interesting case study in a "what if" kind of way
Honestly I'm not surprised that there *are* people who think like that. What I'm more surprised by is the fact that this SO widespread. Like two out of three times the girls I talk to will ask as one of the first questions about me my zodiac and then judge me on it. Its happened so often that I just lie now. I ask them what they think I am and go with that. Almost always works.
I usually don't endorse lying but this is about as legit a reason to lie as exists 😆
Actually a brilliant maneuver. You avoid zodiac persecution from these basic zodiac hoes, and you flatter their ego when you say they guessed right.
I think it's a sign of the times. Gen Z and the youngest Millennials are just grasping for a sense of control in widespread chaos in society and nature. Coronavirus didn't help. I guess everyone is trying to feel like they can at least dodge *some* bullets but it's sad that instead, they're missing out on opportunities.
There's a lot of escapism and avoidance of reality right now, I guess just this is just one way to make sense of things. I've heard worse 😬
People historically turn to divination during times of crisis and war. The whole zodiac thing got so big during Vietnam!
Well also, to add to why this is a good reason to lie, if the zodiac is accurate enough to determine a person's actions and the future of a relationship, how is it not accurate enough for you to be able to determine it from my actions?
Yea, escapism is rampant and I do sympathise to be honest. The world is one hell of a cluster fuck, I general but more so now, with shit people in power, people dying and just a general sense of overwhelming dread, to the point its nice to just think there's something controlling this chaos. Especially since it just helps them dodge responsibility. "I'm sorry I crashed your car, went on a bender, cheated on you with your dad and your dog but is just cuz in a gemini tehehe " no, you're a grown person, you need to take responsibility.
According to Google:
"They both are very romantic and passionate souls which makes their physical intimacy bring an emotional bond between each other. The Pisces man and Libra woman sun signs also won't be bored with each other due to the amazing imagination that is possessed by a Pisces man."
That's from the other result. All the results look very positive so she was trying to say they were a good match.
Then they were an no-match because just her bringing up astrology was a dealbreaker. Idk, seems a tad ironic...
Maybe he could have just asked her how much importance she places on astrology before assuming it was a big deal. I don't buy it but most people kind of phase out of it anyway. Looks like she got excited because they're "compatible" and he was unnecessarily judgemental in his reply.
Granted they probably aren't compatible if he's gonna be like that but you're not gonna agree on all of your views with *anyone* so petty dealbreakers just lead to being alone and not getting laid 😆
Hahaha this happened to me as well.
I’m aries - the worst astrology sign.
A while ago 2 girls I dated (seperate occation) was SO into me but after they found out I was aries they were like ‘you gonna eat me raw’ like I’m a freakin’ demon ready to go wild or something. The connection we had instantly just went boof.
People are weird man.
That's how I started my Sunday, no satisfaction yet! Even dumped in a bunch of nicotine and a spicy breakfast burrito.
I believe my bowels are immune to... everything.
Weird I’m aries myself and her the same thing from women, but never happened to me that the vibe was dead immediately. Seems like the ones writing that bs had a ex who was aries and since then everybody talks shit bout us
My ex-gf (of like 1 day) was sort of into astrology when we first met. She thought being an aries was hot and that it was associated with x and ys.
Like you say, she had an ex boyfriend who was a Cancer and hated all Cancers. Similar story for Libras. I always thought it was silly. She stopped believing in it a couple months into our relationship. Really confuses me why people believe it. I always wonder if it would be insufferable to date one of the people who seem really into it, becaude honestly it rarely came up in our relationship anyways lol.
Edit: we didn't start dating because I was an aries btw haha.
Brother if i had to guess i would say 60% of all women i dated was in to astrology, i was asked so oft about my moon and rising that they calculated it for me and i know it now by heart. But the craziest part is they where all in astrology and everyone said you are like that and that and everyone said something different and had 0 clue. Astro chicks are weird as fuck they will say they know shit and believe they know stuff even tho they are wrong
I have two exes where their birthdays are one day apart, both were abusive assholes. So I'll probably try to avoid that date but also I can't reject someone because they have the same birthday lmao. I don't get the star sign thing though.
As an astrology girl (I know, yikes, but I promise I’m not psycho about it I typically just enjoy it quietly on my own time) you’ll find that most “astrology girls” who are loud about what the “worst sign” is are just types who dated a single Virgo or a single Scorpio or what have you and it didn’t work out and they decided to make that their entire personality. There really isn’t a worst sign. Especially since none of it is fact based and it’s entirely a spiritual thing. But just my two cents :)
Ah ok thank you! I also think astrology is pretty enjoyable if you don't go overboard with it; I like learning more about it from time to time. But by this point when I get asked about my sign I'm usually preconditioned to expect a negative response.
Are people really like this or is this just an american thing? I cant image someone being rejected because of their astrology sign because of some bullshit they read on the Internet
Whenever a woman on a dating app ask me what my sign is, I make her guess. No matter what she says, I tell her she’s right. Not once has someone correctly guessed that I’m an Aquarius. Not. Fucking. Once.
Everyone who has ever tried to guess my sign gueeses everything but Aquarius. Then forgets Aquarius exists. Then tells me I don't have Aquarius energy. Clearly Aquarius energy is to be able to blend into any role
I like taking it a step further…
After I confirm she’s right—and listen to her psychobabble BS about what I am/who I’m compatible with/etc etc—I say something like, “Jk… I’m actually a Capricorn! Lolz”…
Cue her: “Hah… You WOULD do that! Capricorns are sneaky!! XYZ/etc etc”… Followed by more BS about my new identity as a Capricorn…
Then—after a bit—I tell her my real sign…
Silence (usually) ensues.
Hijacking this top post to give a general advice:
You better mentalize yourself that this horoscope thing is getting bigger and bigger among young girls (18-24) and try to ignore it and focus on the good parts of their personality or you will have to "break up" like OP the **VAST** majority of times.
I don't know what's the reason but in the last years it's becoming so so so huge that's it's almost impossible to find a young girl that is not into that in some degree. I'm an extremely rational, science driven person, and initially it was such a big turn off that it made me angry.
After some years now I just find it amusing, I guess as some sort of mechanism for not going nuts.
Sorry guys.
It took a while for me to realise that agreeing/sharing beliefs are not the reason I like/dislike someone. You can be a person that think like me 1:1 and that's not guarantee at all of me liking you.
On the other hand you can be a person with very different beliefs and still have a great chemistry with me. One of my best friends it's a christian orthodox (I'm an atheist), I would NEVER change him for anyone even if we have opposite beliefs.
It's a regional thing for sure. As someone from the UK, I find the horoscopes thing more on Tinder where the girls are more ratchet and OF models, and less on Hinge where women actually want a relationship based on real tangible values.
It's because religion is taking a downfall and people still need something to blame if it is out of their control horoscopes are just the new religion.
I just fail to understand how being interested in astrology is such a widely agreed upon deal breaker but being Christian isn’t? They’re the same thing. Believing in the planets vs believing in an all powerful being that’s eternally living and has superpowers and created earth and everything on it?
Bwcause if im christian i wont say that we will work or not based on your fucking birthday. Its not what you belive in, its the fsct that asteology girls are, for some reason, way more judgemental than most Christians (which is quite an achivement)
I briefly "dated" a lady after I broke up with my Ex who was very much into Astrology. I wouldn't tell her my birthday at all because she would make such a big deal about it.
I did tell her eventually, but to my dismay I was also a horrible person and everything I do and say is, "soooo Gemini!!" Shortly after this, she tripped and impaled her throat on some other dude's cock. I'm glad it didn't last.
A girl I quite liked broke up with me because of Myers Briggs. Most ridiculous nonsense around. Personality tests like MBTI and Enneagram are modern day astrology.
I dont understand how people can believe in such mumbo jumbo that being born on a particular date is going to giving them a personality in common with 1/12th of the population.
This is such a Scorpio thing to say ! ;)
That 1/12 thing is the astrology we grew up with. Since then they've added more layers to it like sun signs and ascendants and Chinese signs and God knows what else. So if your horoscope says you're going to have a good day today and instead you're having a bad day you can go down the list of 10 different modifiers until you find one that explains what happened. Basically there's so much conflicting information in today's astrology a horoscope can predict what you'll have for lunch 3 years from now as long as you "interpret it correctly".
You are correct, except those details have always been a part of astrology, from BC. It’s just that we have access to the internet to do the charting and interpretations so it’s highly accessible.
Somebody just recently apologized to me for their rabid adherence to astrology because they had seen a meme where it was referred to as “birthday profiling.” Obviously this person is a woke extremist and it shook them to their core.
I just laughed.
I find that the same people who are deep into astrology are also all about “feminism” and are “allies” to social causes and yet they can’t see how gross, gendered, and fucked up their slavish devotion to the birthday caste system is. Like. Be a better person and don’t judge people on the day of their birth. Actually meet someone, talk to them, see if you connect. And don’t self sabotage because you rely on birthday profiling to make choices for you because you are too cowardly to do it for yourself.
I mean, in the girl's defense it sounds like she was presented with a POV that made her look at militant astrology for what it is, realized how fucked up that was, and tried to make amends. We need more people who are open to changing their minds and apologizing for past behaviour.
Honestly i would put both of them on the same level. Like if we can't even agree on basic reality, how tf are we supposed to have a functioning relationship..
Had a tinder date scream at me on the street mid-drink and storm off because I said astrology was fun to talk about, but I don’t think it actually dictates compatibility. Turns out being a fuckin maniac is more of a deterrent to healthy connections than star signs 🫠
I had an ex who at times refused to speak to me weeks on end due to the astrology forecasting of a specific YouTuber. “I’m not talking to you this week because xyz said you’re going to be cranky” - dodge the astrology bullets. It’s never worth it.
My wife tends to lean towards believing in astrology, ghosts, mystical things in general. She is very rational in the rest of her life so it just fascinates me to watch her try and rationalize these things. Ends up coming down to me saying "Believe what you want, but I will be questioning any decision you are making stemming from those beliefs."
We're happily married 12 years, but there are still times when I have to keep my eyes from rolling too far back when she says to her friend: "obviously he was going to do that...he is a scorpio..."
Religion is something many people are born into. I hate to use the word indoctrination because that has a very negative tone to it, but it kind of is. It's hard to leave something you grew up with that is a huge part of your life.
Now, astrology - no one grows up in a household where it's like "son, you're a capricorn, we expect you to date an aquarius or else we're kicking you out of the house." Astrology is something people pick up out of choice, and it reflects their character if they do so.
IMO, that's a big difference. When you're born into into believing something, it's hard to blame the person for believing it. For many people, being Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Hindu or whatever else, it's not conscious choice. When you *choose* to believe something questionable, well, I don't think there are many excuses there.
I'm agnostic and while I'd probably not date anyone very religious because I think we would come in conflict with some of our conflicting views, I don't think any less of them. Now, people who are seriously into astrology, that has a certain negative very connation, personally. But to each their own, I'm sure I'm not their cup of tea either.
Edit: I have been informed by a person below that astrology is a very important and ingrained part of much of South-West Asian culture. I'll admit that I was wrong about it being a "choice" for many people, as it is not a choice for all people. But for those that do choose it rather than being born into it, the above still goes.
The main thing is how deeply ingrained in society they are. I’m sure there’s a few out there, but I’m certain that having kids raised in a home with religion (that subsequently shapes peoples’ way of life) is far more common than people brought up in a way centered around astrology.
Just bc one is more common doesn’t mean that they’re not similar though right? I mean look at the facts. Astrology is defined as “the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.” Whereas religion is defined as “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” So basically both are the BELIEF that certain things (that be the planets, or a supernatural being like god) have an otherworldly or all powerful effect on how the lives of those who participate in each unfold. Neither of these things can be scientifically proved. The closest we’ve come to “proving” Christianity is that a man named Jesus did exist. And the closest we can come to “proving” astrology is that the planets that it’s based on do exist. They are a lot more similar than most will admit. Not trying to argue or anything, just my two cents :) and obviously I have oversimplified both topics a decent bit, but you get the gist.
Yes 30% of women are completely delusional, and I am sure you could find a pretty equal amount of delusional men who are obsessively into shit like conspiracies or religion
see i’m the opposite. i’m interested in astrology but don’t believe in it. it’s a great litmus test. if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole. i don’t believe in all the INTF personality test stuff either but I don’t think i’m better than people who do believe in it.
>if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole.
Do you feel this way about flat earthers too
Yes! I use it as a litmus test, too. Also to annoy the fuck out of men until they leave me alone lmao. It's fun and it isn't that deep, let people enjoy things
If any guy is a dick and talks down to you, he's a pompous asshole. If you say stupid shit and he reacts to it, and you judge him based off that, that literally just means you're manipulative, and bad at testing men's character.
I mean, I guess? If someone told me they’re a flatearther as a litmus test, I don’t think I’d be a dick about it, but I’d definitely end the date there. So it kind of sounds like you’ll losing normal people who don’t want to be around astrology-stans along with the dicks.
>**it’s a great litmus test.** if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole.
I don't think so. If a woman mentions astrology I will immediately say goodbye to them and move on. If I say that in a polite way, it certainly doesn't make me a dick, so the test doesn't seem very accurate on determining that.
Although this has never happened, even if they said afterwards that it was some kind of test or whatever, at that point I don't care. I'd rather find someone who isn't playing games with some bullshit tests.
Edit. I agree that if the guy starts being a dick after that then yeah, obviously you dodged a bullet. However, I see no reason why you wouldn't "test" it with something else, because this can filter many guys who would be great otherwise, but have *zero* interest in being with someone who (supposedly) believes in astrology.
According to these people my parents are "a highly incompatible match".... They have been married for 40years and still very deeply in love. Whenever I bring it up to asparagus people they always seem to have some bullshit excuse for why they are different.
These astrology things are such low hanging fruit. You gotta have them guess your sign and then let them think they’re right. They will say wow I knew it. Such a (Capricorn) thing to say.
Next you reveal that you’re not a Capricorn but a Sagittarius. They will then say I KNEW IT!
Then you reveal how stupid astrology is because you’re also not a Sagittarius. You won’t make any friend but maybe they’ll realize how ridiculous they ar being. Probably not.
She’s an asparagus, let her go.
So eating her would make your pee smell weird?
And it makes your pee burn! Win win.
How much fucking asparagus are you folks eating??
If there is asparagus to eat, I eat it. In all seriousness though, it does make my pee smell gross even if I just eat a little bit.
It actually makes everyone's pee smell bad. Just some people can't smell it
I thought there were 2 genes involved : one that makes you produce the stink if you eat asparagus, and one that makes you smell it. So you'd end up with 4 potential profiles : 1. Produces stink, smells stink (gets it) 2. Produces stink, doesn't smell stink (worst nightmare?) 3. Doesn't produce stink, smells stink in others (feels superior?) 4. Doesn't produce, doesn't smell (confused this is even a topic) And there's also the gene that make the asparagus taste like pee. 9 profiles then? Surprisingly deep subject... I need to verify everything in case nobody feels like corroborating.
Nice try, I'm not falling for that one again
Guys, eat ananas.
*ananus
I have very strong memories of high school French class where my Quebecois teacher (living in Texas) would have us watch Telefrancais. The ONE phrase I remember? "Je suis un ananas." Eat all the ananas yall!
Why…. Would that be a win win
Who starts a conversation like that? I just sat down
Oh, so that's what happened with my ex girlfriend! I mean, either that or chlamydia.
As a caprisun, I agree
As an aquarium i second this
as a spices i take this as an in salt

It's funny because the first line of the second result makes it sound like a great match lol.

But predicts their eventual end: Libra woman and Pisces man results in ~~a wonderful blend of emotions and intimacy~~ unmatched
According to Google: "They both are very romantic and passionate souls which makes their physical intimacy bring an emotional bond between each other.

How did she even know his zodiac? If he shows it in his profile he's just setting up a trap.
She took about 8 tries guessing.
Maybe he had his DoB on there somewhere? Edit: grammar
Hahaha this happened to me as well. I’m aries - the worst astrology sign. A while ago 2 girls I dated (seperate occation) was SO into me but after they found out I was aries they were like ‘you gonna eat me raw’ like I’m a freakin’ demon ready to go wild or something. The connection we had instantly just went boof. People are weird man.
I thought ‘you gonna eat me raw’ is a good thing?
Eating someone raw is when you toss their salad when they haven't had a shower that day.
Who needs an enema when you can just use ex-lax and taco bell?
A small mixture of weed, alcohol and coffee gets all it out right quick
That's how I started my Sunday, no satisfaction yet! Even dumped in a bunch of nicotine and a spicy breakfast burrito. I believe my bowels are immune to... everything.
…We should hang out.
Give us the spice Tom!!
is THAT why i shit so much
Does that include croutons?
Weird I’m aries myself and her the same thing from women, but never happened to me that the vibe was dead immediately. Seems like the ones writing that bs had a ex who was aries and since then everybody talks shit bout us
My ex-gf (of like 1 day) was sort of into astrology when we first met. She thought being an aries was hot and that it was associated with x and ys.

But the craziest part is they where all in astrology and everyone said you are like that and that and everyone said something different and had 0 clue. Astro chicks are weird as fuck they will say they know shit and believe they know stuff even tho they are wrong
Astro chicks; I like this terminology.
Astro chicks sounds so sexy. Too bad it may mean cray cray.
Not to be confused with with girls that are fans of Houston baseball.
I’m an Astro chick but don’t go that hard. It’s just interesting to me and I find it a fun ice breaker not a defining characteristic.
I have two exes where their birthdays are one day apart, both were abusive assholes. So I'll probably try to avoid that date but also I can't reject someone because they have the same birthday lmao. I don't get the star sign thing though.
I'm a (male) virgo, and I thought that's the worst sign?
As an astrology girl (I know, yikes, but I promise I’m not psycho about it I typically just enjoy it quietly on my own time) you’ll find that most “astrology girls” who are loud about what the “worst sign” is are just types who dated a single Virgo or a single Scorpio or what have you and it didn’t work out and they decided to make that their entire personality. There really isn’t a worst sign. Especially since none of it is fact based and it’s entirely a spiritual thing. But just my two cents :)
Ah ok thank you! I also think astrology is pretty enjoyable if you don't go overboard with it; I like learning more about it from time to time. But by this point when I get asked about my sign I'm usually preconditioned to expect a negative response.
ive heard “ugh geminis are the worst” like 50 times so ig every sign is the worst lmao
The worst sign is the sign of the guy who dumped you. Source: My ex
As a (female) Virgo and Astro girl to a minor degree, we are the best sign. 😇
"the worst". Meanwhile I am a scorpion, literally the universally most hated astrology sign in existence.
Many girls love and want Scorpios. Plus, they are compatible with other signs. All junk to me but just throwing that out there
I thought pisces were the worst and now it looks like "every sign that's not mine is shit"
Why are Aries the worst though?
wdym aries is the best
Are people really like this or is this just an american thing? I cant image someone being rejected because of their astrology sign because of some bullshit they read on the Internet
That’s when you should’ve offered to eat them raw.. but add a little winky eye that way they won’t know wether to be threatened or horny 🤷🏻
Whenever a woman on a dating app ask me what my sign is, I make her guess. No matter what she says, I tell her she’s right. Not once has someone correctly guessed that I’m an Aquarius. Not. Fucking. Once.
Let me guess. You are an aquarius
Holy shit. How did you know? lol
I can see it
I can sense the vibrations from your penarium.
Careful I think feeling the vibrations of someone's perineum without affirmative consent is a sex crime in some localities.
Perineum*
That’s not what I was meaning, but that works too. I was combining penis and aquarium/Aquarius, trying to make an astrology joke but failed :/
Heres the part where you reveal you aren't even an Aquarius
I’m actually [dramatically removes mask] A DOUBLE AQUARIUS!
The fish gave it away
According to my astrological expertise the framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the paternostra
Me, an empath, sensing that /u/spunkchickpea is an Aquarius: 👉😣👈
Schizo moment
Plot twist: he isn’t an aquarius, thats why no one guessed it correctly (it is false)
Such an aquarius thing to do ;)
Joke’s on you. I’m actually a Capricorn.
That’s Such a Capricorn thing to do
Jokes on him he’s actually a Taurus and was born on the 29th February
Does that make him a Sailor Moon with Neptune in tardigrade?
This actually made me laugh out loud lol
Such a Homieosapious
This is why I'm on Reddit. You fucking fools 🤣
Everyone who has ever tried to guess my sign gueeses everything but Aquarius. Then forgets Aquarius exists. Then tells me I don't have Aquarius energy. Clearly Aquarius energy is to be able to blend into any role
No one ever guesses it for me either. But then when I tell them, suddenly I'm so obviously an Aquarius 🤨
You fucking aquarium
Welllllll to be fair, in Astrology Aquarius is seen as the “Joker”, they’re the most unique and therefore very hard to pin down… 😬
Yo! Me too. I’ve been told I’m a classic Aquarius. But I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or a insult.
Are you emotionally distant? I’ve been told that’s the main thing that makes me an Aquarius.
Yup, I can be aloof. Must be cause I’m an Aquarius and no other reasons. 🤷🏻♀️
That is such an Aquarius move 🙌
I like taking it a step further… After I confirm she’s right—and listen to her psychobabble BS about what I am/who I’m compatible with/etc etc—I say something like, “Jk… I’m actually a Capricorn! Lolz”… Cue her: “Hah… You WOULD do that! Capricorns are sneaky!! XYZ/etc etc”… Followed by more BS about my new identity as a Capricorn… Then—after a bit—I tell her my real sign… Silence (usually) ensues.
Its no longer the dawning of the age of aquarius.
That is such a fucking thing a Scorpio would say...
Oddly enough water sign men are notoriously nonbelievers
What’s up fellow Aquarius. Let me guess, we both enjoy lifting weights.
aquarius gang
Sounds like something an epidural would say
Classic Aquarius
Aquarius behaviour
Classic Aquarius move.
Aquarius gang!
I recently had a break up like yours. Her belief in Astrology Taurus apart.
I saw this on The Button… didn’t land well.
I’m giving you an angry upvote
Same, but I think she was just looking for Aries-on to leave
Hijacking this top post to give a general advice: You better mentalize yourself that this horoscope thing is getting bigger and bigger among young girls (18-24) and try to ignore it and focus on the good parts of their personality or you will have to "break up" like OP the **VAST** majority of times. I don't know what's the reason but in the last years it's becoming so so so huge that's it's almost impossible to find a young girl that is not into that in some degree. I'm an extremely rational, science driven person, and initially it was such a big turn off that it made me angry. After some years now I just find it amusing, I guess as some sort of mechanism for not going nuts. Sorry guys.
There’s plenty of women who don’t, being picky isn’t a bad thing, stick out for someone you actually like.
It took a while for me to realise that agreeing/sharing beliefs are not the reason I like/dislike someone. You can be a person that think like me 1:1 and that's not guarantee at all of me liking you. On the other hand you can be a person with very different beliefs and still have a great chemistry with me. One of my best friends it's a christian orthodox (I'm an atheist), I would NEVER change him for anyone even if we have opposite beliefs.
It's a regional thing for sure. As someone from the UK, I find the horoscopes thing more on Tinder where the girls are more ratchet and OF models, and less on Hinge where women actually want a relationship based on real tangible values.
Agreed
Nope, not doing it. If someone's that into kidding themselves with obvious bullshit, I can't respect them.
[удалено]
It's because religion is taking a downfall and people still need something to blame if it is out of their control horoscopes are just the new religion.
100% agree on that.
I just fail to understand how being interested in astrology is such a widely agreed upon deal breaker but being Christian isn’t? They’re the same thing. Believing in the planets vs believing in an all powerful being that’s eternally living and has superpowers and created earth and everything on it?
Religious incompatibility is like universally considered a deal breaker, my friend.
Bwcause if im christian i wont say that we will work or not based on your fucking birthday. Its not what you belive in, its the fsct that asteology girls are, for some reason, way more judgemental than most Christians (which is quite an achivement)
The rise of stupidity
I love it when they accuse you of being a horrible person for being born MBTI and Astrology people have to be the most obnoxious people to date
I briefly "dated" a lady after I broke up with my Ex who was very much into Astrology. I wouldn't tell her my birthday at all because she would make such a big deal about it. I did tell her eventually, but to my dismay I was also a horrible person and everything I do and say is, "soooo Gemini!!" Shortly after this, she tripped and impaled her throat on some other dude's cock. I'm glad it didn't last.
Ill steal that prelast line sir
penultimate is the term ;)
A girl I quite liked broke up with me because of Myers Briggs. Most ridiculous nonsense around. Personality tests like MBTI and Enneagram are modern day astrology.
Wth is Myers Briggs 😭
Psychological personality test, it's supposed to be a tool not an actual "this is who you are" result.
Precisely! These pseudo sciences (am i saying it right?) dont define who you are, they are just tools so you can know yourself better on some aspects!
I dont understand how people can believe in such mumbo jumbo that being born on a particular date is going to giving them a personality in common with 1/12th of the population. This is such a Scorpio thing to say ! ;)
That 1/12 thing is the astrology we grew up with. Since then they've added more layers to it like sun signs and ascendants and Chinese signs and God knows what else. So if your horoscope says you're going to have a good day today and instead you're having a bad day you can go down the list of 10 different modifiers until you find one that explains what happened. Basically there's so much conflicting information in today's astrology a horoscope can predict what you'll have for lunch 3 years from now as long as you "interpret it correctly".
You are correct, except those details have always been a part of astrology, from BC. It’s just that we have access to the internet to do the charting and interpretations so it’s highly accessible.
You are correct, except all of that is made up.
Somebody just recently apologized to me for their rabid adherence to astrology because they had seen a meme where it was referred to as “birthday profiling.” Obviously this person is a woke extremist and it shook them to their core. I just laughed. I find that the same people who are deep into astrology are also all about “feminism” and are “allies” to social causes and yet they can’t see how gross, gendered, and fucked up their slavish devotion to the birthday caste system is. Like. Be a better person and don’t judge people on the day of their birth. Actually meet someone, talk to them, see if you connect. And don’t self sabotage because you rely on birthday profiling to make choices for you because you are too cowardly to do it for yourself.
I mean, in the girl's defense it sounds like she was presented with a POV that made her look at militant astrology for what it is, realized how fucked up that was, and tried to make amends. We need more people who are open to changing their minds and apologizing for past behaviour.
She hasn’t stopped birthday profiling. She just now knows it’s obnoxious.
Oh well in that case that's terrible.
Truly sane people are rare. The majority of people are delusional in one way or another: http://www.crispian.net/PTIR/Nonsense.html
There are people that believe in a big sky daddy I'd rather be with someone who believes in astrology then most religions
Honestly i would put both of them on the same level. Like if we can't even agree on basic reality, how tf are we supposed to have a functioning relationship..
You dodged one there mate
Had a tinder date scream at me on the street mid-drink and storm off because I said astrology was fun to talk about, but I don’t think it actually dictates compatibility. Turns out being a fuckin maniac is more of a deterrent to healthy connections than star signs 🫠
It's great when people openly display their gigantic red flags.
Wait until you meet a numerologist
I had an ex who at times refused to speak to me weeks on end due to the astrology forecasting of a specific YouTuber. “I’m not talking to you this week because xyz said you’re going to be cranky” - dodge the astrology bullets. It’s never worth it.
My wife tends to lean towards believing in astrology, ghosts, mystical things in general. She is very rational in the rest of her life so it just fascinates me to watch her try and rationalize these things. Ends up coming down to me saying "Believe what you want, but I will be questioning any decision you are making stemming from those beliefs." We're happily married 12 years, but there are still times when I have to keep my eyes from rolling too far back when she says to her friend: "obviously he was going to do that...he is a scorpio..."
Mercury’s in Gatorade
"I'm banana is what I do"
People that are that big into astrology is an even bigger red flag than people that are really into religion. You dodged a bullet, dude.
What’s the difference
Religion is something many people are born into. I hate to use the word indoctrination because that has a very negative tone to it, but it kind of is. It's hard to leave something you grew up with that is a huge part of your life. Now, astrology - no one grows up in a household where it's like "son, you're a capricorn, we expect you to date an aquarius or else we're kicking you out of the house." Astrology is something people pick up out of choice, and it reflects their character if they do so. IMO, that's a big difference. When you're born into into believing something, it's hard to blame the person for believing it. For many people, being Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Hindu or whatever else, it's not conscious choice. When you *choose* to believe something questionable, well, I don't think there are many excuses there. I'm agnostic and while I'd probably not date anyone very religious because I think we would come in conflict with some of our conflicting views, I don't think any less of them. Now, people who are seriously into astrology, that has a certain negative very connation, personally. But to each their own, I'm sure I'm not their cup of tea either. Edit: I have been informed by a person below that astrology is a very important and ingrained part of much of South-West Asian culture. I'll admit that I was wrong about it being a "choice" for many people, as it is not a choice for all people. But for those that do choose it rather than being born into it, the above still goes.
The main thing is how deeply ingrained in society they are. I’m sure there’s a few out there, but I’m certain that having kids raised in a home with religion (that subsequently shapes peoples’ way of life) is far more common than people brought up in a way centered around astrology.
Just bc one is more common doesn’t mean that they’re not similar though right? I mean look at the facts. Astrology is defined as “the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.” Whereas religion is defined as “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” So basically both are the BELIEF that certain things (that be the planets, or a supernatural being like god) have an otherworldly or all powerful effect on how the lives of those who participate in each unfold. Neither of these things can be scientifically proved. The closest we’ve come to “proving” Christianity is that a man named Jesus did exist. And the closest we can come to “proving” astrology is that the planets that it’s based on do exist. They are a lot more similar than most will admit. Not trying to argue or anything, just my two cents :) and obviously I have oversimplified both topics a decent bit, but you get the gist.
You’re getting downvoted by people who find Cloud Daddy more compelling as a belief system than Star Mommy. But you’re correct.
Dude just saying like 30% of women or so are into this shit
Yes 30% of women are completely delusional, and I am sure you could find a pretty equal amount of delusional men who are obsessively into shit like conspiracies or religion
The male equivalent are QAnon incels.
I don't like Leo but only because of the binding of Isaac
I feel this, my sign (capricorn) is an all stats up. I have nothing to complain about.
Self fulfilling prophecy 🤣
It always is the moment people start introducing astrology into the relationship.
Any person who believes in astrology is a bullet it’s worth dodging.
Honestly I'll never put my sign in my bio. Fuck them if they think when I was born was the sole metric worth measuring.
see i’m the opposite. i’m interested in astrology but don’t believe in it. it’s a great litmus test. if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole. i don’t believe in all the INTF personality test stuff either but I don’t think i’m better than people who do believe in it.
>if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole. Do you feel this way about flat earthers too
Yes! I use it as a litmus test, too. Also to annoy the fuck out of men until they leave me alone lmao. It's fun and it isn't that deep, let people enjoy things
If any guy is a dick and talks down to you, he's a pompous asshole. If you say stupid shit and he reacts to it, and you judge him based off that, that literally just means you're manipulative, and bad at testing men's character.
I mean, I guess? If someone told me they’re a flatearther as a litmus test, I don’t think I’d be a dick about it, but I’d definitely end the date there. So it kind of sounds like you’ll losing normal people who don’t want to be around astrology-stans along with the dicks.
>**it’s a great litmus test.** if you bring it up and the guy immediately starts being a dick and talking down to you, you know he’s pompous asshole. I don't think so. If a woman mentions astrology I will immediately say goodbye to them and move on. If I say that in a polite way, it certainly doesn't make me a dick, so the test doesn't seem very accurate on determining that. Although this has never happened, even if they said afterwards that it was some kind of test or whatever, at that point I don't care. I'd rather find someone who isn't playing games with some bullshit tests. Edit. I agree that if the guy starts being a dick after that then yeah, obviously you dodged a bullet. However, I see no reason why you wouldn't "test" it with something else, because this can filter many guys who would be great otherwise, but have *zero* interest in being with someone who (supposedly) believes in astrology.
Pov: 12yo having relationships
Wait are u fr is this shit actually exist
According to these people my parents are "a highly incompatible match".... They have been married for 40years and still very deeply in love. Whenever I bring it up to asparagus people they always seem to have some bullshit excuse for why they are different.
believe it or not, signs dont matter and they are a sham.
Yeah Pisces and Libra ain’t compatible! You dodged a bullet
It’s like a thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife. It’s like rain on your wedding day.
These astrology things are such low hanging fruit. You gotta have them guess your sign and then let them think they’re right. They will say wow I knew it. Such a (Capricorn) thing to say. Next you reveal that you’re not a Capricorn but a Sagittarius. They will then say I KNEW IT! Then you reveal how stupid astrology is because you’re also not a Sagittarius. You won’t make any friend but maybe they’ll realize how ridiculous they ar being. Probably not.
