hmm....I'm a Cancer, and I do know other Cancers who seem to be quite unstable in various parts of there lives. BUT who isn't! I have friends who always tell me I am nothing like a "Cancer" because I am solid, confidant, and won't tolerate BS. Many of the Cancer girls I know have very dramatic relationships, probably even abusive (but won't admit it), and the men...OMG....the ones I have dated have been dramatic when it was not called for, and really too feminine for my taste. I think its a matter of maturity, and Cancer tend to have a issue with "emotional maturity", once I discovered this, along with simply growing up, life has been great.

I'm a "double" Cancer:
Cancer sun, Cancer rising, with a Libra Moon!

i don't bash cancers. then again, i don't bash any sign. i don't have the opportunity to run into many cancers but when i do we get along so well that we often form close, long lasting bonds. i am super close with one now and he's very emotionally stable. i will have to say that he seems to be the exception to the rule. even the other cancers from my past were too much. this guy is a cancer sun and moon (note: when i ran his chart it said that ppl with sun conjunct moon are often stable because emotions match ego. i'm guessing it means less confusion of the self).

cancers, aries and scorpios tend to be those signs that you LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE or you hate. like, the greatest, bestest, most incredible, person i know and love is a cancer (my bestie) and there a ton of other cancers i feel that way about. but then my least fave people also happen to be cancers. like, the bad is soooooooo freaking bad but the good more than makes up for it

lol yes!! I cannot imagine being with a cancer man.
this is the main reason I rejected them, besides their instant weird clinginess.
I like a manly man like my bf..a scorpio.
I am the feminine one, I can't imagine my man being more feminine than I am..

What in the f**k are you talking about? Are you one of those idiots who makes generalizations from one single experience?

Cancerguy I am at the moment dating (just two months now) a cancer male , 31 years old. He is opening very slowly and he is very cautious and tests me a lot. Can you give me some advice or tips on how you guys behave when interested? does it take a long time to open up? do you test a girl's actions to see if she is proper for you? how do you show you care about her? do you do it openly or do you give indirect hints??
Id appreciate all the feedback I could get from a crab male your age, thannks!

You're dating him, but you want to know if he's interested? I'm confused.

Cancerguy yes we are starting to go out...what I meant is that I d like to know how Cancers show interest, he is not very verbally affectionate..he does things for me but he opens very slowly..Im still not sure if he continues playing the field until he feels confident I could be right for him..is that what cancers tend to do? Could they have many "open" relationships at the same time and then narrow one down with theh person they choose?

LOLOL There are too many people who equate being emotionally healthy with being feminine. What a waste. If a guy can't express emotions, then he's handicapped in terms of relationships. There are some guys on dxp (never mind which forum 😉) who seem to think only gay men have feelings, but it sounds more like they're trying to cover up for their own shortcomings.

Most of my friends are guys, and all of them are able to express themselves and are comfortable with that, and none of them are gay, none of them are feminine, and they seem to have good relationships with their partners.

It's sad that some folks need to cling to stereotypes to feel comfortable. But I work on a university campus and have noticed that most of the younger guys are ditching that crap. Even ones you'd think are old-school like that athletes. I crack up every time I start to make a pre-judgement, only to have some guy bust it down by talking like a balanced, expressive, intelligent MAN.

Of course I'm a strong & independent female, and really don't need some grunting throwback to feel feminine....different strokes for different folks 😉

Its because cancers bash other cancers. If this was a cancer only forum it would be nothing but 24/7 bashing. I personally don't blame the othersides for jumping in the middle of our war. 2 cancers never have a real deep close connection. Its always some backstabbing going on between ourselves.



I'm 'married' to a cancer going on 8 years now. We first met over 20 years ago and never forgot each other. We have a few moments of spatting, but I chalk that up to her virgo moon & rising 😉

We use the connection we share to work out anything we might clash on, and use the cancer intuition and empathy to smooth over things we can't seem to work out. It's been the only relationship I have felt I could throw myself completely into, without trying to keep my options open....

I've had a lot of cancer friends over the years too, and never really had any issues with them. Maybe it's the online environment that makes things 'tense'.

This reminds me of when I was a kid. There was a girl who constantly tried to pick on me, but I honestly didn't care enough. Then one day she actually managed to annoy me. She used to sit in front of me and she kept rocking her chair up against my desk, I asked her to stop politely but it only made her do it more. So I waited till when she was about to rock back again then I pulled my desk back and watched her fall. She got angry and threatened me but I just shrugged and told her I didn't care.
