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

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

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

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.

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

Easy choice

presses "gay" button

Now I'm surrounded by superstitious lesbians

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.

In a college classroom with only women, we did a student survey that asked how many believe in astrology. It was 50%.

I'm curious how that boils down in a coed institution, or a research 1 school or something.

Lol no, I make fun of astrology with my girlfriend

Or he could find a woman who's not superstitious, or go gay.

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

I can feel this post in my root chakra

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 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.

I'll choose making fun of astrology.

Solution: date an astronomer

I'm an expert in this field. i went from atheist YouTube in 2008 to what the trillbillies call "spooky pussy" in 2009 and i have remained in the spooky pussy camp since then, I don't regret it.

well, i regret it a little

Star racism is still racism. I don't make fun of it, I simply reject it as esoteric bigotry.
