All the girls I've been getting to know talk about that stuff, like oh I'm a Sagittarius, I'm a Pisces, and all I know about the Zodiac is the zodiac killer lol. They really seem to be into believing that certain signs pair off well with others which is when the eye rolls come in and I have to resist doing it in front of them.

Yeah, I facepalm real hard at this. One time a girl told me she couldn't go out with me because I'm a Leo. It's like "Really? We don't even fucking know each other, lol."

I've read into it a bit and it's funny. All the supposed traits and daily horoscopes are just vague enough that they could apply to pretty much anybody. There's a lot of confirmation bias there. Also, a lot of the stuff like which signs pair well together and such is not even remotely consistent from source to source so I don't know what they're basing it off of.

Glad to see posting misogynistic shit like this is totally ok I guess

Anyway I will say Ive seen more women than men who are into it but mostly only as much as finding horoscopes relatable and not an actual belief system like astrology entails.

You're more than welcome to show how he's wrong lol.

You can't just complain that something is wrong then completely agree with the statement.


How did I agree that women are stupid? I explicitly said that there are anecdotally more women who find it relatable; this is several degrees of separation from believing in it or being gullible.

Right? Even as a kid when I'd read that stuff that people present to me, I'd think that the traits are vague enough that you can say yes to 80% of them and be like, yeah they're right that's me.

Astrology is accidental stupid, libertarianism is intentional dumbfuckery to shit on the less fortunate. Granted, both industries are run by conmen, I just don't really think thats fair to astrology >>

A fun game is to read off the "incompatible sign's" horoscope to someone and pretend like it's there sign. If they accept it, then you pull out your deepest, most evil laugh you can muster, tower over them, and reveal you have bamboozled them in your clever ruse. You, being the ruse master, shall make it known they were merely an unwitting pawn in your vast, catastrophic plans, and with that, you shall throw your cloak about yourself and shift off into the night as a wolf howls a lonely cry into the sky.

It feels like they're pretending. It's like they just want blowjobs and they know these songs will get them

I don't appreciate this post, because I'm actually a Scorpio and that fact undermines my entire post.
