Cappy MEN vs WOMEN
This topic was created in the Capricorn forum by CancerKitten on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and has 16 replies.
My opinions on Capricorns seem to swing back and forth wildly between genders. Maybe it's cause I'm cancer and they're opposite.
I find that the men and women of this sign aren't really similar though.
In my experience the women tend ot bore and frustrate me. I've known so many who are arrogant, selfish and controlling. They drive me insane. They're so cold and aloof sometimes and completely obsessed with social standing and money. I wouldn't trust one at all.
On the other hand the men seem quite nice. Much more relaxed about emotions (once they trust you) and expressive. They do work hard but usually in an honest and admirable way. They seem more humble and more encouraging and supporting than controlling.
Has anyone else found this or is it just my cancer sign playing up?

"maybe you piss them off"

i find the opposite, I feel the man are more money oriented then the women 
but thats just from what I seen
but thats just from what I seenCap men can be quite contradictory. The books say they enjoy wealth & sophistication but I've seen a lot of wealthy Cap men deliberately go out of their way to do things that --to an outsider -- might seem beneath their status.
For instance, I know a rich Cap guy who has it all; big house, several cars, etc....but at least once a month, he will seek out some down & dirty & stinky place, get down on his knees and scrub the whole place down. Or he will volunteer to do dirty, greasy work that no one else will even touch.
When asked why, he says it's to 'balance' his wealthy life style . He doesn't want to become one of those rich, arrogant snots and will force himself to do 'blue-collar' stuff so that he can learn how to be humble and see how the 'other side' makes a living.
Though they secretly enjoy compliments, Cap men will downplay their achievements. Praise....even if he enjoys it...makes a Cap man uncomfortable. He'd rather be appreciated for his hard work than to be glorified for what he's achieved.
Some Cap men can be arrogant (hey, every sign has it's black sheep) but in general, when it comes to the men of this sign this sums it up:
Capricorn is an unsung hero, an undiscovered genius...and an unknown quantity.
It is because Capricorn is such an unknown quantity that his heroism goes unsung and his genius undiscovered. Some people will blow their own trumpets from the highest hill even when those trumpets are battered and badly out of tune. Capricorn is rather the opposite. No matter how bright the light inside him shines, he will always find a bushel big enough to hide it under. Capricorn wants to be thought of as stable, steady and solid. He tries his best to do what the world expects of him, he wants to be a trooper - a loyal, reliable, down-to-earth kind of character. In the attempt to give this impression Capricorn strives to be modest, restrained and realistic.
He almost succeeds.
Through diligent effort Capricorn manages to persuade himself and the rest of the watching world that he is a known quantity. At best he will allow himself to be known for his talent in one particular area or for his courage with regard to one particular topic. The trouble is, this man is a Capricorn and Capricorns, despite all that some astrologers say, are always unknown quantities.
Deep down inside Capricorn yearns to be wild and crazy, footloose and fancy-free. He wants to break the rules, question convention and court controversy. Only one thing stops him - a little voice in the back of his head that says "Excuse me, who do you think you are? That's not the kind of activity that Capricorn can get away with." If you want to be a true friend to Capricorn you must encourage him to ignore that voice. He will love you for it and he won't need much encouraging. Capricorn was born to be brilliant. He was destined to be daring. One day he will realise this and then...the world had better look out.

i think it's just a gender thing. caps and cancers are opposites, so maybe that's more the issue. the cap women i know are just as opportunistic, controlling, hardworking, smartassed and sexy as i am. i don't think there are many differences astrology wise. cancers are so damn moody and sensitive.
beowulf: i read that somewhere and i wholeheartedly agree with all of that.

*Who likes Cancer women anyway.*
Aww, they're alright. They can be ultra-feminine. And they do make excellent mothers. I think the mood swings has to do with their ruling 'planet' : The Moon. Just as the tides change due to the moon, the Caner female's mood changes too.
By the way, have y'all noticed that Cancer women tend to be 'generously well-endowed' in the chest area? Me thinks it has to do with the Cancer female's natural tendency to 'mother' everybody. Not necessarily a bad thing since my observation is that if you're sick, they'll take well care of you. They do expect the same concern & care from you though.
They are pretty sweet people altogether. I'll have to look into the boobs thing.
The "boobs thing"....hhahaaa ;}
AFTER READING THIS IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT CAP MEN WILL F K MOST ANY SIGN
"i still think the women cost too much."
this gets funnier every time i read it.
AFTER READING THIS IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT CAP MEN WILL F K MOST ANY SIGN

i have a backstabbing capricorn friend & she loves me despite, i love her as a friend but i keep to certain level of discretion with her since that. since she's my friend & i hate to hate her i confronted her for the truth which she kinda lied about but i accepted her apologies anyway coz i dont think it's possible to not be her friend, i love her that much.. ah the irony of being a pisces LOL
Lets see..
My grandmother is a Cappy
My sisters close friend is a Cap
Throughout my life I've been close to at-least five female Caps
I've known of about 3-4 more
All the female Cappie contact and none of them are as described here. I'd personally love to meet a money hungry Capricorn female. I don't know why, but it would fascinate me to see how they operate. When I think of money-hungry I think of cut-throat. I just don't see it with the Cap females I've known, and it's definitely not in me. Controlling, and arrogant yes, but still I'm probably the most controlling and arrogant of the ones I know.

I don't think cap females are "money hungry". Its that we expect ambition and can recognize potential. I hate to see someone with potential waste it away. That is a deal breaker for me. Its not about the money. I would never marry a man just for his money! And, I won't knock people off the ladder to get to the top of it!
Pisces here with Cap moon and rising. I have quite a few Cap friends (most of them girls), but Capricorn is one of my favorite signs. In fact I call most of them my best friend, forgetting the whole implication that technically you can only have one "best" friend. So what I'm about to say is not a bad thing
Yes the Cap girls can be obsessed with social standing, not always though. Can you blame them though? Friends lead to opportunities and experiences. Both genders I would say only see money as something nice to have--important, but never simply for the sake of being rich--the same cannot be said for several other signs. I don't think Cap guys seem too worried about social standing; my one Cap friend is quite content by himself, grumbling about how much he hates people hahahhah... For some reason it makes me like him more, not sure why, guess I just want to help.
I love that you mentioned emotions, because I feel that even though they might not experience the same depth of emotions as a water sign, they can certainly comprehend it. Hard to come by for a Pisces. Don't get me wrong though, they love smacking sense into me when I'm not thinking straight keeps me grounded. Spot on intuition too.

I love caps with all I got.lol but I know a cap woman that is all about the money. She wants, no, she needs to have the latest, and her man needs to be rich. she is about the money.
I'm a cap with pisces moon. And love is not going to feed my family. thats all I'm saying. But I'll also never put myself in a situation where I cannot support myself.
Capricorn women are hard workers. We take time to really shine in terms of our careers, because we make sure we do not leave any rock unturned on the way. I am not going to work so hard building myself up to settle with some lazy, uneducated person. In all honesty...if I am successful, or atleast have some ambition, I want to surround myself with people who have the exact same hunger to succeed. I'm not saying I'm going to go out and look for stinking rich people, but I will surround myself with people who know where they are going and know they will rise above the level they are at right now.
I surround myself with people who have qualities that I value. I have hard working friends who know where they are going. I have smart friends who might still be figuring out their way, but they get the bigger picture. I have wise friends who guide me with their advice and words of wisdom. I have humble friends who are struggling through life, but always rise above their situation. I have crazy party friends who always manage to score higher than me in an exam lol and I have friends who have it all, and still manage to remain truly humble.
caps are not looking for money. or atleast I'm not.lol We are attracted to rich souls. People with wisdom...people who work hard and give back...people who keep us humble...people who match with our energy levels. People who are grounded, keep being grounded no matter how successful they are, because they know whats truly important in life.
