Guys, Do you instantly lose interest in a girl If you hear she's into astrology?

[thearchjoker]

Yes I'm done with these space racists

It a major minus that makes them way less attractive but not completely undatable /Its a red flag

Its a minus that makes them less datable/attractive

I don't care/I don't mind

Its mildly attractive

I do astrology too

[MrOracle]

That - by itself - wouldn't make her undateable, but it IS a red flag.

Astrology, and other things like psychics, palm-reading, tarot, etc. are all just ways to scam desperate and/or weak-minded people out of money by giving them false hope. And people who can get sucked into such scams can get sucked into lots of other scams, and that's dangerous, especially if your life and your finances are connected to hers.

I wouldn't recommend a woman date a man with a gambling addiction either, for the same reason.

[thearchjoker]

fair point

[Unit1]

What about swing or day trading? These are not gambling but it can be felt like it is gambling.

[MrOracle]

It IS gambling in the strictest sense, and even worse when playing with borrowed money. There is certainly an element of knowledge, analysis, and investigation (which not everyone is doing), but it's still gambling. And lots of them lose and lose big.

[blueonblack22]

@MrOracleIt really depends on how seriously she takes astrology. If it’s just something she finds entertaining and keeps her day more interesting to read daily astrology updates that’s one thing. I even admit I used to read them occasionally for entertainment (definitely don’t believe in that crap though).

But if she is literally accepting or rejecting guys JUST based on astrology reports that’s definitely a red flag.

But nowadays there are A LOT more serious red flags with “modern” women than silly astrology reports.

[MrOracle]

@blueonblack22 Agreed. if someone reads it in the paper once in a while for a laugh, who cares? But if someone is structuring their life and making important decisions based on that, that's a big red flag.

[zagor]

Anything that makes her seem a few bricks shy of a full load would tend to make her less desirable. This is one of those things.

[lightbulb27]

Red flag. It's a belief and rooted in what? There's some sense to personality mixes, but how are all people born in a given month the same? that's baloney. The root of that will come out in the relationship, so I'd lose interest.

Good luck knocking someone out of a belief... any belief. Christians/religious can have false beliefs as well. Anyone can be lured down a false path. Life... is a sticky wicket.

[MisterWack]

Tarot Card Decks sure, wanting to visit a Psychic sure, Astrology to some degree sure…. NOW If they believe in buying “spells” & “Astrology” & “Alternative medicines” when it comes to living life then turned off and dumping her at the next cuckoo’s nest.

Though it is okay to have a hobby of something and to be happy about something, if it is ‘too much’ I’d dump her.

[Unit1]

Space racism

Brilliant words. That's what it is. Space and time racism.

Perhaps i should treat it as such. Ew.

That depends however how serious she is about space time racism and all the other faux hocus pocus lick my anus.

[mstbooblover]

A girl being into astrology is a feature that may indeed make me less interested in her. Actually this will still largely depend on who the girl otherwise is, I mean her nature, kindness, good will, intentions, etc.

Astrology is in my opinion a vicious form of superstition, but no one is perfect, and who can tell about themselves not having some similar hidden flaw?

[Levin]

There's far too many variables there. That's like someone telling you they're a Christian.

Are they dogmatic and terrified of going to hell? Or are they merely spiritual?

I like latter girls. Open minded girls with a healthy scepticism for any dogma.

Better that than a materialist.

[Paradox316]

YES! If a woman takes Astrology seriously I will immediately walk away out of self respect because I am a man of science and philosophy and I will not violate my principles given Astrology is incompatible with science.

[morganherrel]

Many cute and intelligent girls in the past have talked to me about astrology. It's like a thing.

One even discussed it in a flirtatious way: [she's a libra] "you're sagittarius!! and libras love sagitarriussss"

I promise you she went on to become more academically and professionally successful than most.

[Summeroflove]

Yeah sorry especially if she takes it more seriously then a stupid hobby

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

... tough one, if her belief is fundamental, then it affects her worldviews, then I will have to refrain a lot, I don't like that at all. If her belief is recreational, then no problem

[Tim2nice]

Yes, instantly. I don’t hang around with dumb people.

[genericname85]

100%. it's like an instand boner killer and a guarantee that it's only gonna be one date.

[Pohjolan]

Its a yellow flag and demonstrative proof of less than ideal intelligence.

She better have bimbo looks and not just a bimbo brain.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

It does lower the momentum of things considerably but I always wait to see how into it she is. Either almost not or she knows how to read those crazy charts. Everything in between is icky

[DrPepper12]

No TY. Horoscopes, religion whatever. Not for me.

[RingOfFire]

Yes. I'm a realist so I can't imagine how she could be compatible with me.

[sawno]

No, I like my girls philosophical and open minded so if she's into astrology she will likely enjoy the kind of deep conversations I enjoy.

[jahaims]

I lose interest in a person period if they are that stupid

[CB-Raido-Time]

Not that I date, I don't, I won't, but yes in deed that is a huge turn off indeed. I wouldn't date them.

[blueonblack22]

Of all the things young modern communist woke women do and say nowadays I find that astrology is the least of my concerns.

[MicahRaine]

To me it's not a red flag to be into astrology unless she thinks that astrology makes her a prophet or something lol

[Titus_of_Ultramar]

If she's a space racists I'm not going to waste my time on her

[Inthelines]

Yes. What is the use of astrology? All the facts are in the holy book.

[Paradox316]

You believe in a holy book unquestionably but yet you criticize Astrologists, oh if only you knew what irony means.

[Starrrboy]

Only if she takes it too seriously.. otherwise, it can be fun actually..

[LiamJHayden]

If it guides her life, yes. If it is a casual interest, no.

[DextroShade]

It immediately puts her in the recreational use only category.

[MyBrainsInsaneReign]

Most guys are willing to put up with a certain amount of crazy in a girlfriend, so I don't think astrology would be a dealbreaker, in general.

[Anonymous]

Honestly, I wouldn't care. If she's hot, nice and fun it's all good!

[Anonymous]

No problem at all, at least we would have something interesting to talk about.

[OddBeMe]

It’s not in the plus column.

[Dongie]

Yep as far as being more than a friend.
