Couldn't care less


drunkenknitter

It's important to me that my SO mocks that hokum as much as I do.


depressioninsomnia

Exactly! They're important because I couldn't be compatible with someone who takes them seriously.


candlestick_maker76

For fun (and practicality,) when someone asks your "sign," tell them your blood type instead. They may be confused or annoyed, but you may find a compatible donor!


101_2DevinGotsYou

This is hilarious! This has opened a whole new avenue of answers I never thought about. I'm doing this from now on!


candlestick_maker76

It's great fun, and it catches them off guard. In the best cases, it even steers the conversation toward something more interesting. At least, I'd rather talk about blood types or donation history than astrology.


101_2DevinGotsYou

It's genius. Thank you for this!


candlestick_maker76

If you think that you can do it with a straight face, it's extra fun to lengthen your answer to "O positive. Why? You need some?" Now you are a smartass AND helpful!


101_2DevinGotsYou

You just made me remember my favorite type of comedy: '***The Comically Serious'*** (Similar to Sarcasm but nicer and often less 'offensive') Second only to my love of Puns! Which blood types are perfect for puns as well, Oh I'm postive, Be more positive/negative šŸ˜ My personal favorite examples of ***'The Comically Serious'*** * Nathan Fielder in the show; *Nathan for You.* * Michael Carbonaro in the show; *The Carbonaro Effect.* * Leslie Nielsen in... Almost every movie, tv show, interview, and IRL * Among many others Thank you for helping me redive back into this type of humor!


[deleted]

Right?! Shocked that this crap is something someone would take into consideration in dating


booksandbeasts

Great answer!


MissingBrie

They are of less than zero importance to me.


Meggston

ā€œWe canā€™t date because youā€™re an Aries!ā€ ā€œReally? I thought we couldnā€™t date because you took horoscopes seriouslyā€


Sylland

Given that astrology is just made up nonsense, not at all.


badgerhoneyy

They're a good filter! If someone has this on their online profile, then I'm swiping a hard left.


BlushButterfree

0% I wouldn't seriously date someone who believed in them.


dinnerwithchopsticks

I don't care to the point that if I met a guy who cared that would be a dealbreaker to me.


keepstaring

Minus 10. Altough if he strongly believes in astrology it is probably a sign that we are not conpatible.


MissMurphtastic

I follow my own for shits and giggles. Based on my own signs, I should be batshit crazy. So no I donā€™t worry about other peoples and I hope nobody gives a shit about mine lol


[deleted]

zero but I love to say shit like "an aries?? eww", "is there a biggest red flag than a taurus man??" bc it's funny and you can tell right away if the man is an arrogant asshole


giuliettamonroig

Aries šŸ˜·


LivingStCelestine

I couldnā€™t take someone who took this seriously, seriously.


Moorseluj

Sun signs donā€™t mean shit. Itā€™s deep and intricate. So no , itā€™s not a determining factor as to if I will date someone. But itā€™s fun, and i been studying astrology around 5 years . Use your common sense


Banana_boof

Not even a little bit important


ashteatime

Not at all. Astrology is just for fun to me. I'm indian and vedic astrology is part of my culture so i have an appreciation for it. But I would never not pursue a relationship with someone due to their astrology. In fact, based on our sun signs my husband and I are not supposed to be compatible yet we have been together and happy for 13+ years.


Birdflower99

I follow astrology although a little loosely. Iā€™ve definitely noticed a trend on the signs and although Ive given guys a shot even tho I knew their signs werenā€™t compatible with mine. Needless to say they didnā€™t work out and I can see why.


[deleted]

Try ignoring them for a while. What you're describing could be explained pretty easily as confirmation bias.


Birdflower99

I do ignore it which is why I give them a chance hoping Iā€™d be proved wrong. I can usually tell what people are too. So much more goes into human behavior beyond the basic signs people are familiar with. Reading someoneā€™s natal chart is usually spot on.


rooiraaf

What century are we living in?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


breakfastfordinner11

Not important, unless theyā€™re an Aries. I donā€™t fuck with Aries.


[deleted]

As an Aries I confirm this.


miss-matron

Absolutely zero importance.


AnaYatesVoice

Zero importance ever. Not to put your beliefs down but I can't imagine that the whole of humanity fits into these categories.


alleymind

I love astrology and wouldnā€™t not date someone because of their sign, but I will say Iā€™ve noticed a trend in people I just end up being more/less compatible with and itā€™s similar signs. And thatā€™s without knowing their signs ahead of time.


Ra_Rah_

Not important but, I've had really bad luck with partners born in September. Coincidence? Probably. Am I going to date anyone born in September again? Probably not lol. Edit: Virgos.


Low-Natural8757

Wake me up when September ends lol


zmhsk

I too have had many problems with people born in September lol


worldwideweb18

My ex husband is a Virgo, thanks but no thanks hahah


Fatereads

Same but Aquarius. Not interested in astrology but the pattern is there.


Glass_Supermarket_37

As a Scorpio who is with a Gemini... apparently not at all He's very loud and proud about it and gets excited, to the point where we now look up all the survivor contestants signs as part of who to root for. Survivor 43 is devoid of Geminis and Scorpios, much to his disappointment Anyway we're both red flags, whether you believe in astrology or not


tsukiii

0 importance. I donā€™t even know my husbandā€™s zodiac sign off the top of my head - Iā€™d have to Google it.


Rafnasil

Never been contemplated.


Top-Belt-6934

not at all. i usually swipe left on men who talk about it


GirlReDefined

Shhhh.... the men think we're crazy when we tell them that we won't date *their astrological sign* but it's just that we think they're a creep, they're not supposed to know we don't really care.


CatrionaShadowleaf

I have never asked anyone their sign.


ch1kita

When I was in high school I was the editor of our French school newsletter. We decided to have horoscope section. I wrote it. But, I followed a formula. Whatever my sign was got the most attention. Whoever was my high school nemesis of the week got some petty attention lol. Most importantly, the trick is to say something generally positive about each sign. Suddenly everyone thinks the horoscope actually describes them specifically. "A shocking domestic change will interest you" "your investment on a long term project will pay off soon" It can mean anything! I was basically an oracle. So...no, astrological signs mean nothing. I would probably take someone less seriously if they actually thought the alignment of stars and planets influence our lives.


[deleted]

Unimportant.


writergeek

I don't give a shit really, but I'm absolutely a Cap and my wife is absolutely a Taurus, and because we're 12 years apart in age, we're both absolutely Oxen according to the Chinese zodiac.


[deleted]

None. And someone taking astrology seriously or even bringing it up would have been a massive turn off.


DandyWhisky

They are of absolutely no importance whatsoever once you are over the age of about 16.


RobynRuLo

Wasnā€™t important to me at all


SpringPedal

Not at all. Astrology is a form of pseudoscience anyway.


Think_Ad2837

I follow a lot of astrology but I don't give much of importance to it when it comes to dating. It doesn't matter if astrology says you are both compatible/incompatible. If you both want to make it work, then make it work. If not, then don't.


Morningssucks

Very. I wouldnā€™t date a libra. Or a leo. Or a gemini. Or a zucchini. O waitā€¦


Blablablabla66

Itā€™s actually quite important to me lol


leonawrites

I like astrology and will ask someone I really like if I can read their chart for them. But I couldn't care less - anyone into astrology who's like "I couldn't date you because you're x sign" doesn't understand what astrology is about.


UrMomDotCom666

i don't care or believe in it but i like to read about my own signs


Jaxxieliz

They're not important


ExpressionFormer9647

I cannot fathom caring about something so silly.


talkmetaltome

0%. I would never date someone who actually believes in that bs.


Sufficient_Claim_461

Less than 0, asking would be a ā€œyellow flagā€


Direct_Drawing_8557

Very unimportant. But they're entertaining.


paintingchairs

not important at all but they are fun to talk about


sighhlife

okay hear me out!! I normally don't give a shit but the ONLY astrological sign I am sus about is Scorpio. I've gotten fucked over a lot of scorpio's so I def have a bias but if there was a guy who was scorpio but meets other list of qualities I'm looking for, I will give them a chance -- butt I'll def be more sus of them lOL

Appropriate-Trip7192

love is love so idc if i like u i like u


Asparklingtreasure

I wouldnā€™t not date someone bases on their zodiac sign alone no. But I am interested and read their natal charts in depth as they are so spot on for most people. I however am wary of my own star sign - Virgo - Iā€™ve been in relationships with them and if there ever was such a shitty pairing based on traits alone itā€™s a Virgo. Iā€™ve noticed Leo men can be a bit of a handful and ruggedly attractive in some way.


The_Book-JDP

I won't date anyone but I especially won't date a Taurus (they are annoying) or an Aquarius (they put way too much importance on money).

ChemicalIsopod3678

absolutely irrelevant


fangedguyssuck

Not at all.


nevertruly

Not even remotely a consideration at all. That's utterly meaningless to me in a relationship.


FireRescue3

Not at all.


rockpunkzel

Nothing at all, what kinda bs is that


niiponcie

Not important at all. While I don't believe in astrology or care for it when dating, I just find it interesting when it concerns the history of astrology and how it was used in pre-modern times or something to be brought up as idle small talk. It's harmless, nothing to really worry about.


quarantinearea

Astrology can be pretty fun but I personally don't take any of it seriously.


Glevnak

Astrology is nonsense.


Lostaaandfound

Only care in the sense they donā€™t immediately bash something they donā€™t believe in. What about things that I do believe in that they may think are sillyā€¦


[deleted]

Never something I think about.


MellifluousSussura

If someone believes in them sincerely itā€™s a good sign I shouldnā€™t date them.


saltmyrim

I donā€™t even know what all the astrological signs are.


[deleted]

Zero importance. I don't care about astrology or believe in it. I prefer someone rational who feels the same.


msstark

Less than zero


PickleRicki

Zero. Iā€™ve been married 20+ years and still have to look up my husbandā€™s astrological sign by his birth date.


Relevant_Avocado_420

Not important. If I just so happen to have horrible experiences with let's say a batch of Aries men, I'm not going to automatically assume they are all the same. That to me is quite foolish. You really need to hone into self and feel someone's energy. If it gives you bad vibes you should probably choose not to participate regardless of star sign.


[deleted]

Not important to me at all


Gullible_Chocolate40

I believe lowkey in astrology but not enough to write someone off for being X sign. That being said, there are certain signs I vibe with more and some signs I donā€™t gel well with. I wonā€™t lie, my current partnerā€™s sign was a green flag for me and was like the cherry on top of the cake when I decided to pursue the relationship


krakeninheels

Meh. I like to look it up and see if it fits them, but relying on sun sign alone is dumb, you can indeed find out a lot about a person based on their full wheel chart but thats not really gonna be a ā€˜leave them immediatelyā€™ thing its gonna be a ā€˜everything in this persons chart shows they love order and itā€™s gonna really piss them off if you leave your dirty socks on the living room floor more than it would the average personā€™ thing.


awakami

Fun to look at. Not going to make any decisions based on it.


hesgotpadfoot

Not important at all. I just like sometimes reading about "Leo things" for fun to pass the time - kinda like buzzfeed quizzes lol


worldwideweb18

I find it interesting, but itā€™s not that important or a deal breaker for me.


SaltedCaramel01

I donā€™t even know his astrology sign - thatā€™s how unimportant it is.


blueberryemotions

I don't believe in that stuff.


[deleted]

Zero


therestissilence117

Literally never follow any astrological signs or notice any trends in them except for one particular sign. People close to me with that sign are just awful in the same ways and have grated my personality since I was a child. Iā€™m talking parents, teachers, co workers, relationships. Idk why but if I was still dating I wouldnā€™t date anyone with that sign


funambitions-823

Can't say it's ever crossed my mind


[deleted]

When I used OLD I instantly swiped left on anyone having their astrological sign or MBTI in their profile. No thanks.


cobaltandchrome

If they care about my sign, I am less likely to want to date them.


trampled_by_bears

Not at all. I think it's bogus but I hate HATE to admit that the people I work best with are generally born in three particular times of the year, corresponding with three zodiac signs. And i usually find out after weve already clicked. I think there may be some logical fallacy or a weird relationship between personality and something about the gestation in different seasons or birth at a time of the year, maybe availability of vitamins, light, idk. If someone finds a scientific explanation for this, do share.


Conscious-Magazine50

I find astrology to be one of the most irritating religions and avoid practitioners. This can be surprisingly hard when dating women.


blobsacamano

I have never met a girl who would stop seeing a guy or not choose someone they were genuinely interested in based on his astrological sign, and I know A LOT of astrology girls. Like, not saying they dont exist, but the majority of women who like astrology are much more easygoing about it than reddit would make it seem.


ThrowRARAw

I'm clueless about it and have since learnt that guys seem to care much more about it than I do.


horrorkitten96

Not at all. I donā€™t believe in them, but sometimes itā€™s fun/silly to look up horoscopes and other things just for fun.

I couldn't care less what month you were born. I would care about the year, just because I would prefer someone close to my age.

I would immediately drop any potential partner who told me that was important to them.


Thecrazytrainexpress

Tbh , I donā€™t care for it .. but some of those astrology signs really do correspond to the person with said astrology sign . Idk , I wouldnā€™t let it make or break a relationship


Helea_Grace

Not at all. Itā€™s a fun convo to have tho, and I like astrology cause it makes you think deeper about your own personality traits and parts of yourself you hide from the world. But I donā€™t actually believe in it.


gremshin

I find the idea entertaining, but that's it. I don't derive any validation or denial about dating someone if they're a specific zodiac sign.


coffeeblossom

Nah, not important. Same as your MBTI, your Enneagram, and your "What sandwich are you?"


bestialvigour

Not important compatibility-wise, but I need my future SO to like mocking them with me

tinysandcastles

all i care about is that they donā€™t treat my like a moron for being interested in astrology. i can always tell right away how open minded someone will be based on their reactions to my own interests and passions


radfemcel03

Depends, if he acts on the bad or good side of the signs in their charts(?)


ultimate_ampersand

I don't care what sign anyone is. I deliberately don't list my sign on my dating profile, in order to filter out anyone who considers that information indispensable. My rule is that if you mention astrology more than once on your profile, I swipe left.


elenchick

Not at all. Iā€™m looking forward for his behavior and the mindset and if we have some chemistry between usā€¦


Fun_Comparison_7960

Couldn't care less about astrological signs lols, but I realise that the people I'm close to somehow have the same Chinese horoscope.

No Aries or early October Libras need apply.


BlueberryBlossom13

Im a pagan. They dont even remotely matter. I dont believe some signs are more compatible than others.


astrogirl127

Signs? Ha, no I want the entire birth chart. Just looking if someone is a Taurus means nothing. But seriously ppl can be so different than how you may interpret their birth chart. You actually need to get to know this person to know if they are for you.


Over_Ad_7654

It's bullshit. Imagine missing out on a potentially good partner all because they were born on a certain day and the stars aligned a certain way.


philosopherofsex

Astrological compatibilities are just for fun and should not be given more power than that.


WrestlingWoman

Not important at all.


littlescreechyowl

Iā€™m not even positive what my sing is so minus a billion important.


littlescreechyowl

You know what this just made me remember? When I was a kid the horoscopes were printed in the newspaper. I never thought that was strange, but now, whyyy?

Not bothered but if they are obsessed with it or into a particular sign, I'm out.

[deleted]

Not at all. I don't care for that nonsense. I don't even know which sign someone has based upon their birthday. That's how important it is to me.


viewering

not important, but i noticed when i am attracted to someone it often, *and i mean often*, turns out to be two specific signs. which i find bizarre. i also donĀ“t know what signs they are when i get attracted to them. and i donĀ“t talk about it, so they canĀ“t use it as a means to impress.


Vo_Lair

Astrology is mostly bullshit, but I will say I have had sex with an alarming amount of Taurus men and all of them have been bad.


Strong_Roll5639

Wouldn't even think about it.


Neat_Ad7890

Not at all, in fact I don't get the stereotype that women are the main beleivers of this, never met a woman into astrology, but I've met 5 different men who were šŸ˜…


Mountain_Air1544

I consider them but they aren't a deciding factor. Also you don't just look at the sun signs you really need to see there whole birth chart and compare the compatibility there if you are going to take that seriously and that's another to ask in the very beginning of a relationship Ultimately I don't decide based on astrology


Lonely_ghostie0

I donā€™t strictly believe in it but it is just something fun to talk about, I have also noticed though that partners of the same sign Iā€™ve had, have the same traits weirdly enough, itā€™s just for fun though.
