so just checking out the zodiac signs today. im one sign and this girl is another. and together every website says that we are not meant to be. how much of this **** do you belive? what happened to opposites attracting? does this have any truth to it?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Do you belive this kinda stuff?
- Thread starter G Rambo34
- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

At first it might not mean anything but I think in the long run it will pan out. So for example if you are a leo and you are a taurus you can still fall in love, get married but things will end up bad at the end (example my parents who are leo and taurus and they fought every week) and not surprisingly they are not compatible.
I'm superstitious and I believe the signs do have to do with people's behavior and how a leo or a taurus behave and their attributes for example, but I don't believe those generalized horoscopes which tell you what is going to happen in a month. If I ever were crazy enough to propose to a woman the thought of what sign she is would definitely make me think about it. Everyone has like 3 compatible signs. If she ended up being one of the signs that are not compatible with me I might have thoughts about it. But at the end love makes you forget everything and I would probably forget about all that.

I'd have to slightly disagree with Joe...
It only makes a difference if you believe it does.
That actually sounds a lot like how flirting works: you just have to know that you're good at it,relax, and hey presto, you're good at it.
Zodiac signs, along with most mysticism, homeopathic medicine, and psychic mind readers, work through the placebo effect. This is a mental effect where your beliefs cause your body (or your behavior) to change -- and it's a well-researched scientific phenomenon.
So, to sum up: if I were you, I wouldn't give it a second thought, because then you won't need to.
Some info, if you're interested:
Wikipedia's page on the issue
An article about it in a scientific journal

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
I can't believe people believe this stuff... no offense. It is just FICTION made to SELL. You can choose to believe horoscopes if you want to, you can also choose to believe you have no control over your own life if you want to. Its your choice.
But seriously how can the month you are born have such a huge effect on your life? More than your DNA and the enviroment you were raised in AND common to everyone else who was born in that month?

do you also believe that witchcraft and black magic is fake? i'm superstitious and I tend to think that there is more to this world than meets the eye. We as humans don't fully understand everything in our universe just yet. Things in the relm of the spiritual have not yet been fully deciphered by science, not yet anyway. We shouldn't call things fake which we haven't yet written mathematical formulas for. The spiritual and physical are 2 very different things.SinJester said:But seriously how can the month you are born have such a huge effect on your life?

Yes I do believe witchcraft and black magic is fake. This doesn't not meant I discount the spritual, I simply have a different understand, expectation and belief of it compared to others. I haven't come to the conclusion that there is no soul, or no god, but I am still opened minded that there might not be either. Horoscopes really don't seem beliveable to me. Where do they learn how to desipher all these signs? To believe in them is to admit that some 'higher power' or 'the planets' control our lives. I simply do not buy into such nonsese.Joe The Homophobe said:do you also believe that witchcraft and black magic is fake? i'm superstitious and I tend to think that there is more to this world than meets the eye.

I have my opinions, and despite my tone I respect yours.

You guys can't be for real.
There is absolutely no empirical evidence for any of this nonsense.
As for astrology; It's based off the alignment of planets and stars. Please explain how that could in anyway effect my emotions and relationships.

planets alignign seal your destiny in eternity, for example Im a taurus and when I grow up I wanna be a bullfighter.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I have a simple question... how do you know that the starts, etc, seal your destiny? Other than some cooky webpage telling you so, or one single example?
There is no evidence that any of this stuff has a real effect. What does have an effect is the Placebo Effect. See my previous post here.
