Gay men too…

I have a female friend who is an Astronomer. I always call her Astrologer, especially at parties and such.

In the same way I feel bad for all the women out that had to put up with conversations about crypto for the last decade, the astrology for dudes

I'm straight, been married 32 years, and my wife hates astrology. There's no dilemma.

A friend set me up on a date with a coworker of him. then she spent about 20 minutes drawing my astral chart. She had notes, books and even an iPad app.

Eventually she concluded we were not compatible, while I concluded the same thing about 20 seconds in.

I generally try not to yuck anyone's yum, I won't make fun but I will just straight up say I don't believe in anything spiritual or magical.

I can feel this post in my root chakra

I'm a woman, I have no patience for pseudoscience.

Or just don't try to get laid with stupid people.

That is such a Leo thing to say

I'll choose making fun of astrology.

I have a pretty large, coed friend group, and roughly 50% of the women are into astrology, while none of the men are. Personally, I could never date someone who took astrology seriously. Fortunately, unlike this meme tries to paint them, there are many women who don't take astrology seriously.

I had several friends at school with the same birthday as me, so obviously we had the same personality and all the same stuff kept happening to us.

Theres a not so secret third option, don't date folks that believe in such nonsense.

I used to be a bit of a dick about astrology. I still think it's nonsense, but now I kinda view it as a structure for people to explore their own emotions and as a kind of authority struct to get people to treat those emotions as valid. Ultimately I feel like its no different than me sharing emo song lyrics with an "omg they understand me frfr" type message. Maybe the astrology believer isn't upset because Venus is in retrograde or whatever, but they are upset their emotions are valid. I don't gain anything from being a wet blanket about scientific accuracy in that situation, and they feel like I am invalidating their emotions if I choose to be that scientifically accurate wet blanket. Plus, retrograde is a dope word and I'm not sure if I'd know it if not for the crystal girls I've dated

i roll my eyes at astrology but generally don't mind a little "folk wisdom" if it helps people deal with the world, though of course it often doesn't actually really help and just obscures the real reasons behind things.

kinda similar to how i think a sincere belief in religion might actually help someone in many cases, but can also veil the world and make it less accessible.

in the same vein is also folk or traditional medicine. i bet there are good insights in there, but also just a lot of bs. difficult to sift for gold.

A rather free love friend of a friend was trying to fuck guys from every sign of the zodiac, and she hadn't gotten to Cancer yet. As an amateur astronomer now, and a child who was raised by a lunatic into all sorts of woo, I declined on principle.

Look, have your fun. But woo is a relationship red flag for me. You cannot remind me of my mother if you want me turned on. I haven't gotten laid countless times. I don't need or want sex that badly. I desire someone I can trust to keep a firm grasp on reality.

I will choose to make fun of it at every chance. Fortunately my girlfriend doesn't mind, so I can also still get laid.

Easy choice
