This happened to me at work. A woman that was an astrologer on the side said basically the same thing. At least my hobbies aren’t astrology & insulting people.

I had my runes read. He said I’d end up alone, broke never owning a home. I’m not married but I own my house have friends, a boyfriend , family and an adorable dog. Yeah they’re full of shit.

Is the next hot new trend offering your date a relaxing scalp massage to surreptitiously compile their phrenology chart?

Here I was thinking posts like this need a ‘trigger’ warning, ‘cuz they trigger my urge to—well...

Well, if you stop asking us if we want to see your etchings, how the fuck are women supposed to know you’re REALLY going to put out?? That’s, like, that last bastion of Definite Signalling we have left, man..... These days, if a guy coyly asks you to come up and play Overwatch, he actually wants to just play Overwatch.…

So, should I stop offering to show women my etchings? Because I’m never sure what I’m supposed to be etching into what, and it’s creeping dates out.

True true. But they can pry my hot tub from my overly heated pruney hands. I’m just not letting anyone else get in because they’ll mess up the perfect water chemistry.

You just know the moment you sneeze they’re going to tell you to buy airbourne or eat some garlic or something. And who knows what will happen then.

Serious spouters of obvious pseudoscience is the one thing that makes me most rationally angry.

Yes, this is a HUGE invasion of privacy. Putting together the fact that someone believes in astrology based off the questions they ask you tells you way too much about a person, like: why you should never talk to them again, what their research skills are like, and why they don’t seem to know anything interesting. You…

It’s super-easy to do. You basically take a vaginal egg and sit it in about 1" of water over an astrological wheel. I got the complete Astrology Snooping Kit at goop.

Oh, thank goodness. I came here to write this, and am glad I’m not alone in this reaction. If someone wants to figure out my astrological compatibility, they should by all means ask for the relevant information, because I want to know if a date puts stock in such things beyond occasional amusement value as soon as…

I got my “crystals” read once. The woman looked at my palm (...there were no crystals) and told me I had a powerful aura. She told me I would marry my boyfriend at the time, get a job in the degree I was pursuing, and have a big family. She was obviously bored as fuck and barely looked at me while she intoned this…

I happened to go to a psychic once (I know, I was kinda depressed and it was easier than trying to get an appointment at the counseling center on campus), and when I mentioned I was dating someone, she started pressing me for his information, and then insisted he was my soulmate. He dumped me later that summer,…

All that needs to be said on the subject, right here!

this quote you found is a gem: “You’re seeking out personal information about a romantic partner without their knowledge”

It’s inevitable. Always much more fun to critique and express faux-concern about someone else’s body than simply stick to micro-managing your own.

I think everyone should absolutely upfront ask for this information if they want it. Because it will tell their date that they’re batshit insane. And if the date answers enthusiastically it means they’re equally insane and the chart might not be needed because they’re super compatible.

IKR? I was happily reading the article (and half-jelly that Miss Author Girl had also been a model, ‘coz I like her have a couple of Grammy noms but nobody ever waved a Vogue cover in my face) and then scrolled down to comments and now ... here we are. Again.
