"because they just don't give a damn about controlling others."
Well, ma'am, you'd know the inner workings of an Aquarian mind better than I, but I have definitely seen some crazily manipulative Aquas. You have to admit they have all the prerequisites of being ridiculously manipulative.
I don't think you'd really like me to tell you why I see yous guys as manipulative. Your former boss sounds a bit like me. I probably sound like a bitch admitting that I'm manipulative but I don't use it to start trouble (like some people I know).
And I confront people too, that's why I don't understand why a person can't be straightforward generally but veddy manipulative sometimes too.
all the aquas i've known, dated, befriended, etc. were not manipulative....they had the philosophy of "if it walked like a duck and quacked like a duck, then it was a duck" meaning they don't sugar coat, those don't over analyze and sure as heck call it as they see it.
"seeing how i have little charm, i have to use it sparingly as not to deplete the resource."
hahaha, I don't believe you, I think you're just being self-deprecating. ๐ Who knows...you're pretty charming on DXP (and I'm sure others can attest to this), maybe that's what's been draining your resources, eh?
The Aquas I know don't hurt anyone emotionally or manipulatively out of malice.
My brother is a Feb aqua and my best friend is a jan aqua...both of them have been through a lot but they've persevered and didn't bring anyone down with them. instead they worked themselves back up. they are both salts of the earth. but neither one of them will let anyone walk over them and they will burst your bubble before you can finish blowing.
The aqua philosophy of of being humanitarians and "seeing the borader picture" kinda goes against the art of being manipulative. I guess they don't see the point in it. I am not particuarly manipulative although it'd be probably a good thing if I were a bit because then I might be able to say one thing and mean the other and avoid certain awkward and uncomfortable situations that woud arise if I simply said the way it was and what I thought.
I think aqua do have a fairly blunt form of manipulation where they will threaten to not do this or do that because of their firm principles and so others will have to compromise in order to get things rolling. In this way the aqua gets his way and thus has manipulated.
"i wonder if certain signs are better at tapping motivation than other signs, certainly that would be water signs. they are known to be intuitive and can see through people easily."
Maybe..I'd say fire signs as well. They (erm..we?) can persuade like nobody's business.
"I think people who are good at manipulating, are also good at psychology. I think it's more an understanding of psychology and motivation, rather than sign-related."
Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't Aquarians supposed to understand psychology? I know a LOT of Arians do...Sagittarians too...

Hey Aquakids!! AngelBoy, VE here; Question: do you guys ever feel like....you're A~L~O~N~E? I mean, like you're traveling with some friends/aquaintences, and you are out in space somewhere because you just don't get what anyone is talking about?....My int
kris told me I shouldn't bother with libras and should find an aquarius to go after instead. Well there's this one thats a waitress at this restaurant thats hella weird, but in an interesting way. I told her I was a comedian, and she seemed hella interest
Is the Aqua board the most filled because of the love for gadgets? hint hint: The computer? I noticed most Air sign and Fire signs not being as active on here...Maybe because not as complexed? or out having fun? I wonder....
Would an aqua be likely to change their mind as to how they feel about someone? Is what they say and what they feel in any way realted to eachother? Are they likely to push someone away that they really might like out of fear? Especially those with dist
I lived w/ an Aries for two years. To make a long story short. Last time we really spoke I packed all my clothes, left all the furniture and moved out. Payed rent until found someone to take my lease. Attempted to remain friends but typical Aries ways
They do have good qualities though. But they usually f-ck up at the end. It's like they bring 99% greatly to the end, but f-ck up at the last 1% which kills everything that's being done so far. The result, nothing.
I gotta say, but I have only dated one aquarian who is getting married next week and with liquid courage at a festival last week, in front of his soon to be wife, explained how he is still after 4 years the love of my life, and I have not found any one wh
so i told my aqua, we'd just stay friends-and now if has asked for coffee, and hinted he wants sex today(something hes never done) even thought i know the situation for him has not changed he will leave for 9 months cant have a relantionship bla bla-I did
I posted this on the Travel Forum but didn't get any feedback. Just wondering if anybody has been to Egypt, or in particular Luxor? Is there anything that is recomended to do/not do/see etc over there? Obviously this question is open to non-aquas too :P
Do Aquas really hate to be ignored? Especially male ones. What happens when an aqua feels that s/he is being ignored or no longer receiving consistent attention levels?
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who participated in my last topic. Luckily, my boyfriend forgave me my misbehaviour and we are still together and I am more in love than ever. And he is amazing too.
What makes all of you think "Wow, this is a REALLY good relationship"...
I'm curious to see, what specific things aquas like to find in relationships...what is that defines a good relationship for you all...be as specific as you want.
What are you attracted to in the opposite sex? Not who/what you are comptable with? Nor what you like....but what really gets you going or turns you on about the opposite sex?
My usually very aloof, macho aqua has recently started to say that he misses me and cant wait to see me much more than usual. I think he might be falling in looove! I told him i wanted to keep things simple and fun, but he's convinced im in love with him
