Who is better for a Taurus woman — a Capricorn man or a Cancer man?
March 15, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
Decisions, decisions.
The question alone sounds like a pitch for a romantic comedy. Tam, a self-sufficent young woman able to hold down her beer and beat her brother at arm wrestling, is torn between two guys. Jack is a type-A Corporate America personality who wears three-piece suits and does power lunches. Sal cooks pastries at the local bakery, and spends his lunch break feeding ducks at Central Park. Tam loves Jack’s confidence and authority, but she’s totally sweet on Sal, a man who’s not afraid to show his vulnerable side.
Jack takes Tam to a swanky uptown restaurant where he slips the maitre d’ a few bills to get them the best table. He wants to fly her on his private jet to Madrid over the weekend. But wait! She has a date with Sal this Saturday to view ‘The Dinner Party’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. What should she do? How can she turn down this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
You see, a man with money fills her need for financial security. Not that she can’t make it on her own — she’s doing fine selling her clients’ stuff on eBay — but she’s certainly not opposed to getting a nice diamond. On the other hand, Tam could totally feel taken care of by Sal, in a different way. She loves his romantic nature and that he would go out of his way to make her feel safe. Jack just doesn’t feel cushy, you know.
This turning-point — where the above paragraph plays out in a flashback montage over a catchy but sentimental emo song — occurs near the end of the film.
It’s your turn to write the ending.

OK…I was married to a Cancer man for 11 years, and he walked out on my sons and I (after a year of emotional abuse) two weeks before their 6th birthday because he was cheating with an employee. He was such a horrid Mama’s Boy that it wreaked havoc on our marriage from day one. He was emotionally infantile, clingy and controlling. And incredibly CHEAP, yet he leeched onto me when he had nothing…became successful, then wouldn’t spend a dime on us. A complete CREEP…cold, mood swings, undersexed, flirt and cheater, liar, etc. Cancer Men are AWFUL and very effeminate. They are mama’s boys who never grow up,and feel entitled to be coddled, yet give very little in return. STAY AWAY…
I am a Capricorn male in this Romantic comedy and it is not funny… at all. Me and my girlfriend attended school at Jobcorps where she got to know a cancer male she then felt as if I was not paying her enough attention so she left me for him after 4 years of relations. It really sucks being a Capricorn in this aspect.
I think that Taurus women does well with other earth signs (Caps & Virgos), but i think its too much “earthiness” together. I think that’s why we have such a gravitational pull towards water signs (Cancer, Scorps & Pisces). They are a little like us, but different. Sometimes being with someone very similar to yourself gets a little boring.
Im A Taurus woman, in a 10 year relationship with a Cancer man. I love him very dearly. We have had ALOT of hard times, still, we stick together. I think that most Taurus women cant help but be attracted to Cancer men. We need and love the affection and attention. I know I do. I was married to a COLD Libra man for 18 years. All he did was cheat on me. He was NEVER happy with anything I ever did for him. My Cancer man is soooo grateful and appreciative of every little thing I do for him. He’s wonderful!!!
I’m a cancer man and we do have mood swings quite often, but some of us have had them so much in the past we know how to deal with them and move on in about 3 minutes. Yes, we do try to make things look as best as we can because most of us are very artistic (I know I am.). Not going to tell a lie neither, we are sensitive as well…it is just how we are programmed and it sucks sometimes. Hell, sometimes I hate being very sensitive when I wish I was not.
Also, if you meet the right one, we feel attraction forever for some damn reason. Not all of us are Mama’s boys…I’m not. I can take care of myself by myself.
