What turns you on... and off?
What qualities in people do you most respect... and which do you loathe?
What impresses you?
Is there something about you that you wish people understood?
What do you deeply want out of life?
And most importantly, what do you want in your mate?
I have some very important decisions to make for some people and I've never been very adept at understanding Cancers in general. I need to understand the place Cancer guys are coming from.
So PLEASE inform me. Spouses of Cancers, you too... fill me in s'il vous plait! I want to hear it all...

Re: Cancer Men, tell me...
Thu, February 24, 2005 - 12:27 PMCancer men are very critical and hard to please. Nothing you ever do will be good enough for them. They seem tough but really thier feelings are easily hurt. The more angry they get the more you know that you have hurt them. They hold a terrible grudge and almost never truely forgive. The glass is generally half empty rather than half full. Also they hold you accountable for all of the things that you do that make thier life more difficult even though you never knew what they really wanted because they never told you. Everything you do could be taken as a direct insult to a cancer so approach cautiously. What they truely want out of life is to feel secure. They need a stable home environment; a full fridge, a clean house, enough money in thier savings account, all bills paid on time, "enough" money coming in on a daily basis, people that do not interfere with thier security, and a doting loved one by thier side that "truely" cares. The cancer typically needs as much ego stroking as a Leo if not more. An unstable cancer is the worst kind meaning until they get stable they will make anyone's life around them miserable with complaints and criticisim. -

Re: Cancer Men, tell me...
Thu, February 24, 2005 - 3:55 PMouch. that was pretty harsh (but accurate). indeed, quite a good summary of negative or possibly negative traits. what is the cancer man like when he is happy and all things are on the even keel he needs? surely there is some good to say? from my experience cancers, when happy and feeling secure, can be quite generous, doting, sensual, caring, idealistic.. -

Re: Cancer Men, tell me...
Thu, February 24, 2005 - 6:39 PMThis is true. When they feel stable and they are proud of thier accomplishments, it is a joy to be around a cancer. Because they can be so caring, empathetic, etc, they push away thier feelings and the ones they love at times. Also they should not be encouraged towards alcohol or drugs as they have a tendency to get addicted. They are very soft inside so no matter how critical a cancer male may get the favor should not be returned. A cancer male will not usually ask for help of any kind even if he needs it. It is important to look for ways to help the cancer when possible because they tend to take the world on thier shoulders. This simple act of showing you care and notice what is going on in thier world will make a world of difference.

Re: Cancer Men, tell me...
Thu, February 24, 2005 - 8:52 PMYa know, I do relate to about half of the tendancies and behaviorisms that Claire pointed out. It's funny cuz I can be the strong hardass but yet balled my eyes out when the wife and I watched The Notebook last weekend. I do need a place to call home and have my bills paid for but I have never had a significant savings account but plan on working on one pretty soon. I do like to have the outlook of the glass being half full and not half empty and I have never carried a terrible grudge.
Even though I am a Cancer/Cancer Rising, I think a lot has to do with upbringing and institutions/attitudes that are taught. I was raised by a very strong single mom who expected me to relate to women while recognizing that I can still be a man doing it.
That's a very small part of me but it touches a bit on my cancer tendencies. I thought you may want to here from a guy since the title is Cancer Men, tell me.... -

Fri, February 25, 2005 - 1:10 PMThanks Bradley,
Of course my statements are just generalizations and an individual can step outside of them. I appreciate your comments. Also this fluxuates with the moons and ascendents and when exactly you were born. If you are closer to the Gemini cusp or the Leo one. If they completely apply it means that we are behaving generically. -

Re: Cancer Men, tell me...
Sun, May 1, 2005 - 7:20 AMYes, christopher, Libras are very fair-minded, willing to forgive. since that is a strong influence on your demonstrative side, I would expect you to be very fair and willing to give people second chances.
Sags are very practical, result/goal oriented and rational, not prone to carry any more baggage than is useful. :) (I love Sags.)
I would think that your cancer rising aids your spiritual quest by sending you inward to find your way. We truly are blessed if we are safe with others. It is rare. Practical Sags and fair-minded libra/purity oriented virgos scan deal with their emotions when people let them down which is something very painful to a Cancer-influenced person.
You were born very close to the equinox... a point of balance. Aren't you blessed. :)
