Is it normal that i won't date someone who judges me based off zodiac signs?

My coworkers and I were talking about bad dates from dating websites again. I shared a few times where people messaged me and acted like I was their soulmate based off signs. Nevermind the fact that they had qualities about them that were serious deal breakers and they would've known what my deal breakers were if they took the time to read the rest of my profile. Is this normal?

    I like to follow stop signs.

    • Very Good! There are too many idiots in my town that ignore stop signs and wind up damaging property or hurting someone.

    Are you a woman?

    If you are, then you're just being stereotyped. They're thinking that you believe in zodiac signs and using it as an easy pick-up line for a guarantee hook-up. Sadly, this works for many, which is why this approach is so commonly used.

    As for your main question, yes it's normal. Zodiac signs are cute to ponder over when you're in middle school and high school, but as an adult it's not the best guide to go by. In the end, you simply have to talk to someone and put in the time/effort to get a full understanding of who they are dealing with, which people are so reluctant to do nowadays.

    • Yah I'm female. That makes sense. A lot of dudes on these sites seemed like they were either looking for a hookup or they were virgins with a horrendous amount of baggage. Doesn't explain why the women would do this too. Then again, they were terrible in their own ways.

        They are the women who still believe in zodiac signs, which is why this approach is so commom.

    Absolutly normal. Anyone who thinks zodiac signs mean shit has lost a good chunk of credibility from me off the bat. I mean I'll still stick my dick in it but to expect me to respect you highly or wabt to spend the rest of my life with you.

    Yeah who the fuck judges who they date off of the fucking stars that are millions of miles away. Like if you were born a month later and had a different sign do they legitimately think that would make you different from what you are now?

    I'm sure I'd still be a dick if I was born a month later.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there are pick-up websites and classes where guys are told to use astrology as one of their tactics.

    I think the best move would be to immediately rule out anyone who ever does anything more than mention star signs in passing and in a joking way. It's pure BS, and anyone who believes in it has a fundamentally non-rational mindset. Many people are into astrology when they're young because they find people and the world difficult to understand. The idea that everybody can be put into one of twelve neat little boxes and that each of those cubbyholes interacts with all the others in a fixed, predetermined way is appealing because that would make life so much easier.

    Good for you! I don't think anyone is as simple as their zodiac sign, and I would prefer to have someone who is interested in me rather than my star sign. I think that if someone is too much into astrology it's kind of a red flag that the person has a controlling personality.

    My narcissistic abuser ex had the biggest book of astrology I've ever seen. I'm not saying that everything that astrology is about is inherently false, but rather that if someone is too much into that stuff it's laughable at best, and controlling at worst. I see astrology as something for entertainment purposes, but not to be taken too seriously.

    I think when someone is more interested in my star sign than really getting to know me it's just not worth my time, energy, or effort to be too involved with such a person.

    • I think you might be onto something. A lot of the people that used it seemed pretty unintelligent. A lot were in their mid 20's and seemed to have some sort of baggage.

        Thanks! I think a lot of people become controlling as protective coping mechanism, perhaps a result of a less than ideal childhood experiences.
