Ranking the male zodiac signs: Lovers, heartbreakers and walking red flags

SOME people will say that zodiac signs are the devil’s work; after all, they say, people have different personalities and should not be defined by the date they were born. But how else would you explain why every single man born in June is two-faced, and why a November man will run you through the washer on the heavy duty setting, put you out to dry, and then repeat the cycle?

Fact is, the men themselves will tell you that most times they can’t control who they are, having been destined to share the qualities of a sign that may or may not have good qualities. And so this week I want to warn you, ladies, about the men you should stay far from, and those you should embrace, and it’s all coming straight from the horses’ mouths.

THE MEN NEVER TO DATE

Gemini – Inconsistent, two-faced and lie like karate show. I don’t need to say more.

Aries – Too impulsive and argumentative. Some people see it as passionate, energy-filled and confident, but the truth is, this man is a true tantrum thrower, and you will always be arguing back and forth, because boy, do they love to always be right!

Scorpio – Jealous, secretive and possessive in that strange, stalker, Jeffrey Dahmer way. There’s a reason why many serial killers rule under this sign. They are intense about everything, and are just over the top with their expectations.

Aquarius – Will be too emotionally detached and into his own head to care about you. If you want the punishment of someone who genuinely does not care about your feelings, and will let you know, date an Aquarius man.

Sagittarius – These men value their freedom. They have no tact, and will tell you like it is. They don’t like to be restricted — think about the kind of man who will leave to buy milk for the baby, and then resurface in Costa Rica.

THE MEN YOU CAN TRY your luck with, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST

Cancer – These men can be caring and protective and invested in the relationship, but they can also be sensitive and moody. When you get a good one, he will value home and family, but if you don’t have that emotional connection with him, then he will seek it elsewhere.

Leo – These men are very generous with their time and resources and are quite the romantics, but they also like attention and like to be appreciated, and can be full of pride and drama. On the flip side, they will make you feel special, so you can your luck, and hope it works out.

Capricorn – Though they are focused on themselves and their careers, most times they can also be dependable and they do take commitment seriously. It’s just that this commitment is most times through endeavours to further themselves solely, even while they insist on a woman’s loyalty.

THE MEN WHO ARE ALWAYS WINNERS

Taurus – This is a loyal, dependable man who values stability and family life. He will also express his love for you through action, not only words, and will always seek your comfort, above his own.

Virgo – These men are thoughtful and reliable, and their love language is helping and caring. Though they can be perfectionists, they value family and honesty, and are truly worth your while.

Libra – These men are not only charming and family oriented, they value the partnership and enjoy romancing their women, so much so that they will do anything to avoid conflict and allow their women to lead.

Pisces – These men are romantics, and will be attuned to you emotionally. They usually seek a deep emotional and spiritual bond with their partners.
