Yeah mine is a big elvis freak for some reason. I didn't really notice him collecting 'weird' things persay tho.
Um...my Cappy was always a neat freak. Everything had to be perfect. U couldn't leave a cup sitting out if you were done, or ur shoes had to be perfectly stood up and together by the door. He just did everything in perfection.

Neatness and rule following: They love rules but this can be remedied.
One day I was at his house making a peanut butter sandwich and I noticed the peanut butter was always scoopd out the same way, very nealty, so I grabbed a knife and stabbed the crap out of the peanut butter, he was all in shock and claimed he has a "system" I said, "screw the system, this is much better."
He loved it! I always break rules when he is around, run across the street when the hand is up, park in bus zones, etc. Oh and as soon as I get to his house I rip the comforter off the bed and mess it all up (it is made like he is in the military).

Well, I'm a Capricorn of course... I keep my shoes in their boxes (with cedar shoe-trees in them), and clothes are organized not only by skirts/pants/shirts, but from light to dark- same with folded sweaters and my purses/handbags! I believe in quality over quantity w/ everything, too. I would much rather have a $ 700 pair of Italian leather boots that will last a decade, than have 7 pairs of mediocre shoes (that's an extreme example).
(This Cap. guy I know seemed to collect "Money" and "Fortune" magazines! And he had a ton of clothes for a guy- so many that I sometimes wondered if he was gay!! lol)

Well mine was always a freak about everything being exactly in it's place and everything folded neatly, etc. Wheretomylady, the peanut butter thing reminds me of my cap. And whenever we'd finish eating supper, he'd immediately do the dishes and wipe down the table, and wouldn't miss a crumb. One day I went over there and he was vacuuming because he tracked in a bit of dirt. It just seems funny to me beacuse I'm not a neat freak or clean freak. I mean I'm not dirty, but just not perfect!
My cap has tons of clothes also. He has so many that he has two dressers full in his spare bedroom. He was always wearing something different when I seen him.

hahaha, my cappy has a ton of clothes as well, more than me.... He can't get rid of anything because of "sentimental" feelings he has towards them! I stole a sweatshirt and some old socks and he is never getting them back.
Next weird habit:
Being a mommy's boy. Why are capricorns so intense about their family? I mean family is great and all but they seem to have a hard time cutting the cord.

My cap was a big momma's boy also. HE was always on the phone with her. He would make it a point to call her each day, even if it was just to say hi. I respected him for that because I'm really a family person also.
Wow its so weird reading all this...as My cappy is a neat freak as am i...lol he also loves peanut butter...but i have never noticed it he scoops it the same way or not...lol
What I do know about these men (or my man really) is they will suck you in and spit you out..when you least expect it.... right when you think you have made a break through in the the relationship hes is gone like a morning breeze...he will come back though.. if you are the chosen one...and what I mean by that is if you are strong enough to handle his disappearing acts... if you can handle his mood swings, if you can understand his dry humor...if you do not judge him, if you can understand that work comes first then family then you, if you can trust him and love him unconditionally...if you can trust that his heart is with you without the words being said.... and if and only if you have PATIENCE then my ladies you may have yourself a capricorn!(on his terms...lol) It sounds like alot to take on and believe me it is not easy (im a gemini)but in my heart i know hes worth every bit of control I have to give up..... and you know people say relationships should not be that hard....but you know something LOVE is never easy!!! If this man is not the man for you your heart will tell you when to let go...until then enjoy every special moment you have with your cap man...he remembers those special times...and go with the FLOW and if nothing else..... you would have learned the biggest VIRTUE of all PATIENCE~
good luck ladies

Awww... Glad you're still hanging in there and keeping the faith, GEG. I know what you're saying, believe me I do, and I appreciate your verbalizing it, as much as I bad-mouth these male counterparts of mine!
On another note... I hate peanut-butter! I think it's because I had too much of it as a kid though! I used to scoop it out w/ a spoon and eat it when I was young, and ever since my late-teens or 20s, I can't stand the stuff, unless it's a Reese's or mixed into something.
I do have strong ties to my family... I don't need to call them daily though, by any means, and they're 600 miles away. I'm more like the weekly call- and tend to even be like the true Cap. male w/ phone calls and contact, when it comes to my parents though... that is, that I would rather call them back and when I'm in a decent mood than have to take their calls when I'm feeling "in seclusion" and hibernating. I can even be like that w/ girl friends too and friends in general. Sometimes I just don't want to "deal" and have to talk to people. It's the whole "black mood"/depression thing, I think.

wow, there's some interesting things here. i've been dating a capricorn for about 3 1/2 years. i never really noticed how neat he is when i lived with him (maybe because i'm so messy, haha). but when i moved out and he moved into a friends house, i noticed that he had his own way of doing things. his room wasn't necessarily perfectly neat, but it was tidy. he knew where everything was, everything had its own place. whether it made sense where it was kept or not. when he used to cook for me everything had to be perfect. he had to make the food look good (it always tasted good but it had to look it too).
and another thing- he has more bath and body stuff than i do. at first i thought he might be gay because he REALLY keeps up with his appearance (which makes me feel kinda ugly sometimes). he ALWAYS looks good. hair is always trim. all of his hair. hehe. and he always smells good. mmmmm...i used to pluck his eyebrows for him- or he'd look like bert. now, i bet he does it himself. he works out a lot. sexy.
i think the family thing is true, too. he came from a sorta messed up family. his mom is addicted to pills, his dad was never around after they got divorced. they put him in mental hospitals from age 11-16 (so he says) for smoking dope and because he had anger problems. and he never forgave them for it. he never will. he gets this look in his eyes when talking about his dad. who is dying. and he won't speak with him. he still talks to his mom regularly. i believe his mom did what she thought was the best thing. i don't think she knew what to do with him. but a psych ward is the answer a normal, angry kid. being around crazy people will make you crazy. he was still really angry when i met him; he's calmed down a lot. i like to think it's because of me...
he also can over exaggerate things. he talks about his past waaaayyyyyy too much. tells me the same childhood stories over and over. which makes me think he'll never let go of it. the past, i mean. he also sometimes makes stuff up, out of nowhere. and he seems to believe it's true. and it's also funny that he can really talk about stuff he knows nothing about but makes it seem like he does. but i can tell the difference now. he's charming. he knows exactly what to say whenever he's around anybody, no matter who they are. he never seems nervous. everyone likes him.
there's just this feeling i get about him... is our relationship real? i mean, his feelings for me. my dad keeps telling me he's a loser and is just using me because my family has money. wouldn't i know better after 3 1/2 years though? still, i just get the feeling that something just isn't right between us...
sorry this is so long. i'm bored, i won't be able to sleep tonite, so i'm just writing down my thoughts about this charming capricorn i know on this message board where other strange people i don't know may or may not respond. feel free to.

OK, I am back from vacation.
Next capricorn detail:
They are great listeners, hence they make good friends, and then you fall in love with them, then they turn out to be poor communicators,
Any other girls with the same experiences?

You're dead-on with that, Wheretomylady! Even on the phone, I can just "hear"/sense how intently he is listening to me. He has even evesdropped while standing nearby, on what I was saying in a conversation I was having w/ a guy friend. He quotes me back verbatim on things I've said, so I know how closely he's listened AND that he's thought about it later. But... yea, he can't communicate worth "BUTTER"- His whole lack of communication has screwed things up. It's like he doesn't realize that being silent on an issue is a negative sign to people! I had asked him to go to a formal event once, and left him messages about it for 2 weeks... When he finally called, I told him I found someone else to go. He acted all surprised and shocked, and said, "But I never said I wouldn't go." I told him then, "You never said you would! Silence is a 'no'!"
CapGirl,
You cracked me up when I read that because I can hear my cap saying exactly what urs did. He is the worst communicatior but best listener. mine has listened to my conversations before with others and he has also quoted a lot of things back to me. It shocks me because they come off as not even caring what ur even saying. I still can't figure out how these men can be so crazy like this.

ladies you kill me! lol! At least we all have a sense of humor! So I called mr.cappy today and asked him to go on a road trip with me and he said he would love to but he has to wrap up some work...wow what a surprise. So next topic: Capricorns and work, whats with that?
PS I am going on the trip and plus now I am staying for the weekend, with a friend! Take that cappy!

sorry to hear that geminioaf1...
IM glad you learned from him..
IM glad you learned from him..
That is one thing you ever get out of being with a Cap...you learn something from him. I learned a lot just from the 7 mos that i was with him, and am continuing to learn from him!
wheretomylady, what is it with this work crap? Mine works ALL the time (as u know). They say that Goats try to achieve all they can, and my cap goes way beyond that. Work is important to him above everything except his mother. He'd rather work, than have a relationship. Crazy!

Mycap: Whats with this work crap?
Its seems like they have an internal drive to suceed/climb, well at least mine does, he is excellent at almost anything he tries his hand at, and he is also very responsible, put those two attributes together and you have a hard working man. I remedy the situation by bringing my work to his house and I work with him, I am also very supportive and encouraging of his work, and surprisingly, he turns around supports me.
I guess there are women out there with more to complain about then a man who work too much! Note to all you earth signs, Taurus and virgo men tend to also be hard, serious workers.
next topic: Why do capricorn men fall into morse/depressive slumps?
my theory: They internalize their feelings so much that the depression is a side-effect.

That could be true wheretomylady. I haven't yet figured it out. It could be just their nature. They work so hard and then when they are finished, they just feel like that.
My, my, after reading all of the posts in this thread, I am surprised how much a capricorn man sounds like me (pisces, female). Way strange.
All things fit, except for neatness. That one is way off. But that disappearing act... Woah...
I'm terribly sorry to hijack the topic and make it about me, but caps are fascinating creatures. I have never had a relationship with one, but they really intrigue me. Based on descriptions, I relate more to caps than to pisces. My moon in taurus is probably to blame.
Anyway, they sound so delicate, but stern at the same time.

Yeah they are intriguing...and are one piece of WORK!
mmm, I am being to think they are not so intriging, they are easy to figure out, just hard to break! hehehehe. From what I know about Pisces women I would say you are nothing like a capricorn man, pisces women can have very idealized views of romanance and love, yet they also get very annoyed by men, and resentful. Don't forget the pisces is swimming in 2 different directions with its tail tied. I could see the cappy male driving the fish woman totally insane, these guys don't say mom about love/like/feelings/ or the direction they want to take relationships.
I agree about my being overly idealistic. But if I am not idealistic, I am terribly critical. There is the duality you are speaking of.
And now I am having second thoughts about my interest in a Cap man, he sounds downright frightening!
And now I am having second thoughts about my interest in a Cap man, he sounds downright frightening!
he is!!! But a wonderful lover! I have never, ever in all my life been with a man like this! What he can't say aloud he makes up for with his touch, I would say try one out but they are very, very addictive!
Wheretomylady- you call 'em dead on... "addictive"! LOL I've only allowed myself one (1) "interlude" bc. of that and the lack of a commitment. There's just something very deliberate and focused about their actions? Do you get that? Kind of like what has been said, about being 100% there.
On your face-to-face talk advice (which I get and agree with)... I am upgrading him from a text msg. to a bday card in the mail, but that's the best I can do. (I'm not going to jump, chase, or fawn over him just bc. he contacted me.) This is really starting over at ground zero and I am a bit reluctant to have any hope at all that it's nothing more than him "checking in" or whatnot. So, I'm giving what I can freely and without needing anything back.

First the bday card---
Do you think he is someone who will value a card? I feel that cards are very special and should only be for good friends, family, and boyfriends.
Thats just me though....
I kind of think my situation is unique because he has never been in love or hurt before so he allows himself to open up...abit...he talks to his dad and then tells me about their discussions, so its kind of second hand intimacy. The weird thing is that when we were "just" friends we talked about everything. I know that I can get him to talk if I want, but at this point in our relationship we dont really need to...or I don't want to deal with him not telling the truth, than having to call him on it...blah too much work.
At one point he said that I could see other people and he won't care (this was out first month together) I said, "BS, you would care, and if you started seeing anyone else I wouldn't even be your friend..." he shut up and never mentioned it again.
Personally I think I am more deliberate with all my actions than he is.
