ideas and examples cited are mine.
Note: This thread contains longer descriptions, for obvious reasons
Aries Guy (March 20 - April 18) Lieutenant Brat
He
will always be at the front of a group. You can’t miss him coz he’s
always the one to start parlor games, pranks and discussions. There’s
usually a T sign between his eyes, formed by thick brows that remind
you to not mess with him because when he wants to, he can lead an
all-out war against you, with his own personal army. This guy is a
leader, he cannot be comfortable as a mere follower. When he can’t be
the one who leads, he will usually veer out alone to organize his own
group. Any institution led by the Aries guy will succeed just because
leading is what he does best. These guys of the fire sign can tolerate
fevers high enough to kill other people.
In Love: In
love, he will want you to make him the center of your life, and he will
do the same to you. Everything must be about him. Any diversion on your
part will make him lose interest fast. Just like a baby, he will want
your full attention when he needs it. Like a kid proudly saying “Look
what I did, mom!”, you are compelled to watch as he demonstrates his
skills, otherwise he will hate you. Never dictate how he should spend
his money. He is the captain of his destiny, as well as his finances.
In his mind, you are a princess and he is your prince, so don't do
anything un-princess-like or he's gone.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Always sing him praises when he does something he considers important.
Kung madalas syang mag-daldal, wag mo syang babarahin in the middle of
his discussion (which will require your patience kasi matagaaaal bago
sya matapos). If you interrupt him and change the subject, he will let
you talk for a while, but will return back to the original topic coz he
wasn’t through with it. Siya ang bangka ng usapan, sakyan mo na lang.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Taurus Guy (April 21 - May 21) The Sensual Homeboy
This
guy loves to eat, drink and be happy. He is a man’s man, and in a group
or party, men want to be in his company just because he’s an epitome of
how guys should act and look. Like the female counterpart, he gets
mooney over babies and families who go out together in the park or in
church. He wants his parties at home where he’s comfortable and with an
approved guest list of his favorite people. This guy will love you if
you cook well, and he usually will not eat much if the food is less
than par. He’s also attracted to texture and will choose comfort over
fashion in clothing. There may be times when he seems out of sorts and
cranky. This usually arises from lack of sleep, lousy food and
uncomfortable resting conditions.
In Love: He’s usually
chauvinistic and won’t tolerate un-womanly behavior in a girl. In his
mind, guys have certain things that they can do, and girls have certain
limitations to what they can do and say around other people. Any
improper behavior or comment will warrant a verbal beating when you’re
alone together.
Polgara’s Quick Tip: When he’s in one of
his moods, try to coax him out of it by bringing him his favorite
merienda, and a soft pillow or stuffed toy. When he doesn’t want to
sleep, you can pat the bed and make “oooh”-ing or yawning sounds as you
hug the pillows. When you describe something to him over the phone or
over the net, use adjectives like “ay ang lambot ng higaan ko ngayon”,
or “hmm ambango ng binili kong perfume, amoy candy”, he will get a very
graphic image of your description, as if he were actually the one
touching, tasting or smelling it.
-------------------------------------------------------
Gemini Guy (May 22 - June 21) The Multi-tasking Underdog
This
guy can multi-task more efficiently than any other sign. He can be
talking to you over YM, brushing his teeth, doing paper work and
watching something in youtube… all at the same time. He always has a
target person that he will want to be, or a target position of power
that he will aim for, dream about and ceaselessly talk about. However,
given a position of power, he will not be content until he maximizes
the full potential of his position; which, with his ambitious nature,
means he will never be satisfied. This guy wants you to change with
him, in fact, he can’t stand permanence in life. He is also a notorious
gossip who will want to know everything that’s happening. This is not
to say that you cannot trust this guy. You can. However, the weird
thing is, the only way that you can get him to keep a secret is when
you express that you trust him 100%.
In Love: This guy
will have many girl friends, not necessarily love relationships but
more of friendships. If you’re the jealous type of girl, don’t enter a
relationship with this guy because he really loves to make friends.
Again, the paradox of trusting plays a big role. He might say to you
when you’re being paranoid: “Tutal wala ka din naming tiwala sa akin, e
di gawin ko na lang ung lagi mong ina-accuse sa akin. No difference
naman e, wala ka din naming tiwala.” But if you don’t nag him as to
where he went or what he did, he will voluntarily talk to you about the
people (including girls) he met and be very open about his feelings
about other people. This is because he is secure that you will not
over-react and get unreasonably jealous.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Pag may tiwala ka sa kanya, mahihiya siyang gumawa ng kalokohan. Just
make sure na hindi pakitang-tao ung tiwala mo, kasi mase-sense nya na
nagkukunwari ka lang. Like a guy friend of mine said to us when we were
asking him to drink, “guys, I would really love to, but my GF trusts me
that I will not drink tonight, so I won’t.” No amount of peer pressure
will make him break his promise to his GF who trusts him completely.
--------------------------------------------------------
Cancer Guy (June 22 - July 22) Sweet Midas
This
guy loves to be pampered with romantic words, gifts and gestures, the
same way as he loves to shower his friends with these. He’s sweet and
cuddly… and incredibly tickly. He seems like a pushover who will always
be ready with a smile and infectious laugh. However, beware of
Dr.Jekyll behind his Mr. Hyde. This guy normally has a side of his
personality that is completely different from that side that you know.
My personal experience with a Cancer guy friend showed me that
something must trigger this behavior switch. In my guy pal’s case, it’s
alcohol. He’s calm and funny when he’s normal, and he gets wild and
outrageous when he’s consumed alcohol. Another situation to be wary
about is business. When this Cancer guy handles the money side of your
company, you can be sure that your money will grow. Every trade or a
deal is a challenge to his powers of persuasion, and he is always one
step ahead in market trends. He will crush the competition
(business-wise) with a charming smile and a pat in the back, like
saying “nice try, buddy”. Like Midas, the proverbial icon whose touch
brings gold, this guy’s mind is like a working cash register that’s on
24/7.
In Love: He will almost always express his love
in gifts that are sentimental as well as unique. He prides himself as a
good cook and will only cook for someone he likes or loves. If he feels
like you’re taking advantage of his generosity, he will pretend to be
broke. He will pay a good amount of money for scenery and a romantic
location, but won’t waste his cents on somewhere hip and modern but not
in the least romantic.
Polgara’s Quick Tip: Ito ang
sign na madalas magtampo at tumahimik na parang hurt na hurt pag
ina-away. Mas madalas tumalab ang mga lambing at sweet-nothings sa guy
na ito kesa sa ibang signs. Expect PDAs, and impulsive hugs and kisses
during dates. He is a mama’s boy, kaya wag na wag pipintasan ang
kanyang mommy.
----------------------------------------------------
Leo Guy (July 23 -August 21) His Majesty, Johnny Bravo.
There
are 2 kinds of Leo guys, I call them The Big Lion and The Shy Pussycat.
The big lions are BIG, literally, with big ideas, big statements and
bigger egos. The shy pussycats are timid but will bristle like a
cheetah and unsheath their claws when insulted personally (in their
standards). Both types talk about themselves all the time, the first
with a big voice, and the latter with a soft voice. These people
desperately need an audience to listen to them. One indication of the
August-born is the way they talk: in steady, measured tones and
dramatic statements that always make an impact… as if he’s hearing
applause in his mind everytime he finishes with one statement. He will
always have people who love him to a fanatic degree, and people who
hate him… also to a fanatic degree. Like Johnny Bravo, he will seem
invincible and unstoppable. Only a Leo will show true courage in
desperate times. When everyone is too scared to move, he will slap fear
in the face and say, “shut up and go away!”. In group dynamics, he
would rather lead, but will be content to stay in the sidelines (as the
right hand man), as long as he gets credit for everything he did behind
the scenes.
In Love: This guy will want to know what
you did at 8am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm…..etc. He will want to know what
you ate, who you ate with, and what you talked about during lunch. When
you suddenly stare out at nothing outside the window, he will ask you,
“Anong ini-isip mo?”. He owns you, and all your feelings and your
thoughts belong only to him. Unlike the Aries guy who will want you to
attend to him only when he needs you, the Leo guy will want you to
attend to him and his needs, think only of him and even dream of him,
even when he’s not around.
Polgara’s Quick Tip: Don’t
waste money buying him sentimental but inexpensive gifts. He prefers
branded things, even those he doesn’t need. I once gave a Leo friend of
mine a branded, limited-edition lighter (Zippo) for his birthday and
his eyes lit up with a smile so bright. His first words of delight were
“Taena, ang mahal nito! Thanks ha!”. He proceeded to proudly show all
his other friends his new branded lighter. See, they feel very
important if you are willing to spend so much money and time on them.
Also, nakakatuwa ang Leo kasi pwede mo silang lokohin, kantyawan,
pagtawanan, kutyahin…. stuffs that other guys will be really pikon
about. Huwag na wag mo lang silang de-dedmahin… as in, parang mortal
sin para sa kanila na ma-dedma sila.
----------------------------------------------------
Virgo Guy (August 22 - September 23) Chivalrous Prude
This
guy is a gentleman, chivalrous and has conservative beliefs to match.
He is also very vain and thinks that cosmetics surgery in men is not
unheard of. He’s usually handsome with a great sense of humor. He stays
away from loud people as a rule but provides the “decent balance” in a
group where boisterous people are predominant. He is often mistaken as
gay for his vanity, but the numerous of girls who are after him think
otherwise. He believes that guys should woo a girl and not the other
way around. For all his conservative beliefs, though, he rarely goes
out for a long time with a girl who seems dumb and all-beauty. He often
falls in love with a girl who has brains more than beauty. This trait
may also be related with the fact that he will not go out with someone
“prettier” than him. Just his equal in brains and beauty is enough. He
is practical and will only spend enough to satisfy. He is secretly very
insecure and trends in fashion, technology and even science amaze him.
Prudence is the key word with him and he will not be able to sleep when
he thinks he did something improper during the day.
In Love:
He will be the perfect guy to bring to the salon with you in a date. He
will not feel uncomfortable and may even astound you with how much he
knows about wrinkle creams and facial washes. He likes to pamper a girl
but will deliberately ignore a girl when she becomes too demanding of
his time and finances.
Polgara’s Quick Tip: Always look
and smell your best when in a date with him. Trim your fingernails and
keep the nail polish to a minimum or at least in a tasteful color na
hindi mukhang slut-ish. If you feel like burping, farting or picking
your nose, do it when he’s not looking or magpigil na lang maski
ikamatay mo na ung kati. He will never forget the image in his mind of
you picking your nose or the sound of your burp. He may laugh with you
for a while but deep inside, he’s cringing “eeww!”.
Libra Guy (September 24 - October 23) Princely Procrastinator
This
is the most charming of all the male signs. He will get you comfortable
fast with his soft-sounding voice and melodious laughter. He will
usually have dimples, whether on the face or elsewhere. He will be very
friendly, but too much familiarity turns him off. He has numerous
acquaintances and few close friends, but if he throws a party, everyone
is invited, even the most distant friends of friends of friends. He
prefers to think about a decision long and hard before he has to make
it. He will consider scenarios upon scenarios in his mind, up to a
point that he will refuse to make a concrete stand because he can’t go
one way and discard the other points to consider. Like the female
counterpart, he is capable of conversation that brings new ideas to the
table. His powers of concentration are immeasurable, but be wary that
the harder he worked, the longer he needs to sleep afterwards. Sleep
and rest is sacred to this sign and he often pretends to be asleep or
resting just so you wouldn’t disturb him. For all his appreciation of
constant contact with friends and family, this guy will turn off his
cellphone or take the landline off the hook while he rests. This is
what I call his “alone mood”, the time when he is acutely aware of his
surroundings and will rather lie quietly or submerge himself in a book
for a long time rather than deal with the real world. Besides these
occasional bouts of anti-social behavior, he is the most entertaining
talker who will argue his point endlessly but still keep you spellbound
by his voice and his smile.
In Love: Don’t expect this
guy to understand your contradicting behaviour. One example is when he
asks if you’re ok, and you reply “ok lang ako”. He will take it na ok
ka lang talaga but will be slightly confused as to why you’re still
frowning or still don’t want to eat. He will not spend his mental
energy figuring out the reasons behind the reasons why you’re in a bad mood. He will ask you for an explanation only once, and then he will move on.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
My experience with Librans taught me not to expect him to run after me
when it was I who declared that the relationship is over. He will be
able to forget a girl insultingly fast. If you bring him in a place
where he has to make endless choices before he places his order (i.e.
Starbucks), restrain him when he feels like throttling the barista.
Better yet, decide what you’re getting then ikaw na ang magsabi sa
kanya kung ano ang ok na pwede nyang i-try. Spare him the agony of
making choice after choice after choice. Also, if the courtship has
gone on long enough, the girl should be the one to make the final stand
for the relationship already, or else it will never happen.
--------------------------------------------
Scorpio Guy (October 24 - November 22) The Sexy Stalker
The
moment he declares that his birthday is in late October or November, an
inexplicable chill envelops your heart as if you’re afraid for some
reason. One physical trait unique to a Scorpio Guy is his eyes, like
two dark pools of emotion that you cannot interpret, like he actually
reads you. The only indication that you hurt him with something you
said is a split second blinking of the eyes or changing of the facial
expression. When you miss this split-second show of raw emotion, you
will never see it again. His face is like granite and will even laugh
with you as if he wasn’t affected … but be wary of the affable façade
because inside his mind, he is brewing his revenge. There are 3 kinds
of Scorpio guys according to Goodman: The Sinister Snake, the Grey
Lizard and the Killer Eagle. The difference between the 3 has something
to do with the way they deal with the molten magma of raw passion
inside them when they get offended. When someone deliberately tried to
hurt him in any way, the Snake responds by silently and patiently
working behind the scenes to set up the offender’s downfall, and when
the time is ripe, he will secretly laugh and watch as his enemy slowly
writhes in pain with the poison he planted. The Eagle will respond in
the most straightforward means, striking suddenly, swooping down on the
offender’s neck and inflicting pain instantly. The Grey Lizard is the
most woeful of all Scorpios because he will point the direction of his
hurt inwards to himself, resulting in self pity, and ultimately, self
destruction. But there’s hope for the Grey one, as long as he keeps his
perspective despite his personal pain, for he has the potential to
transform himself from the ashes like a Phoenix and rebuild his pride
eventually.
In Love: It’s funny how most good girls are
attracted to the brooding bad boy. Is it the mystery that he seems to
keep or the enigma that makes these girls curious? Nonetheless, this
guy will not target a girl needlessly, for fear of rejection. But if a
girl suddenly shows even the slightest signs of attraction, he will
respond with a persistence that is unshakeable and unceasing until he
gets her. This guy will love you forever once he had a relationship
with you. Even if it ended disastrously, he will still remember you
fondly after 20 years. He’s the most boyish of all the signs, which
contradicts his volatile nature. Like the girl counterpart, he will
love you and stay loyal to you, no matter how many times he gets
tempted to leave you. This one’s a keeper.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Don’t flirt with this guy if you plan to just to tease him, you may get
more than you bargained for. He may glance at you directly one time and
say “ang taba mo” and then another time he may say “baduy mo pumorma”….
but despite his apparent nastiness he will look at you and treat you
like the most beautiful girl in the world in bed every night, all night
long. Kailangan malakas loob mo kung Scorpio ang BF mo, at dapat hindi
ka madaling masindak.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sagittarius guy (November 23 - December 22) The Daredevil
This
guy loves to laugh and considers himself very witty and funny. The
amusing part is, he’s usually off the punchline and his jokes are often
double-edged. This is well accepted by his friends because he dishes
them out with a pizzaz that invites laughter, even those directed at
him. At his best, he is hilarious. At his worst, he is fault-finding.
He walks like he’s always going someplace very important. The one thing
closest to his heart, other than you might be a pet, as this guy loves
animals and will go to immeasurable lengths to save a sick dog or stray
cat. His secret obsession might be speed, as he loves things fast-paced
and dislikes slow people. The more volatile Sagittarians will almost
always be on a car or bike. He is considered the life of the party, and
no matter how tasteless his jokes are or how tactless he seems, people
will still be laughing in appreciation. I have yet to meet a Sag who
can take a personal critique graciously, even if they’re experts at
pointing out the faults of others. For them, they’re cool, and no
matter how much you find fault in them, they will never believe you. He
likes to live life in the edge and he gets bored with cautious
environments. You have to wonder if your Sagittarian boyfriend is
really a stuntman who’s just pretending to be a grounded guy. They pack
in the energy of a nuclear power plant, don’t get tired easily and they
will take risks that most sane people will not even dream of taking
In Love:
Even if the girl doesn’t seem to like him at first, he will risk
rejection just to try and get you. Even of the odds are against him
(like when a girl is already in another relationship), he won’t back
down, the same as he doesn’t back down on a dare. Your relationship
will be a whirlwind of emotions and fast-paced activities that may
involve a myriad of sports and hobbies. He isn’t shy in showing his
love for you and will declare it at every chance.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When pointing out his mistakes, make it sound like a suggestion so that
he doesn’t feel the need to be defensive. When you suggest things to
him, he has the option to take it or not.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Capricorn Guy (December 23 - January 20) The Ultra-Dependable Stone Icon
He
is calm and collected, won’t get rattled easily and will usually be
strict in implementing his rules. With this guy as your BF, rules and
regulations must be abided by and followed to the letter. Although he
seems stony and shows no emotion, even during extreme fights, this does
not mean he doesn’t feel any. See, the fact that he is unable to
express himself emotionally is more of a dilemma to him than to you. He
makes up for his emotional unavailability by being the most dependable
boyfriend in the world. He picks you up daily, won’t scrimp on feeding
you and will always remind you to take care of yourself when he’s not
around, which is rare. He hates vulgarity and would try to reform you
at once if your past behavior was not up to his standards. For him
there’s a proper time for everything… for making love, making jokes,
going out and staying at home. However, the good thing about him is he
won’t be strict forever. These guys seem to grow younger and smile more
often as the years go by. He becomes more open to fun as he mellows
down and takes things less seriously. He’s the perfect guy to introduce
to your parents as he will talk about his plans for the future as if he
really has been planning it for a long time now. It is rare to see this
guy in the bottom of the corporate ladder for a long time. He is
tenacious and ambitious, will take everything from insults to menial
odd-jobs to prove his worth to the company. He is capable of reaching
the top of any industry he chooses just because his solid and
dependable approach to work will get the attention of the big bosses.
In Love:
At first, this guy seems generous and will shower you with gifts and
expensive dates. As he gets more and more serious with you, he will
start to show signs of being a tight-wad (kuripot). This is not because
he’s losing love for you, it just means that he has started to look
forward into your future together, and has already been planning
finances and how to make your life comfortable when you raise a family.
He may not hold your face romantically under the moon all the time and
write love poems like a true poet, but he will be able to provide for
you and your future children better than any of those other foolhardy,
emotional and reckless guys you went out with.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Maski hindi sya ganun ka-lambing, kelangan lambingin mo sya parati. He
is always worried that you may not be able to understand him and love
him as he is. He always needs to be inspired so that he can work harder
for your future. He puts family first all the time and won’t run from
responsibility.
--------------------------------------------------------
Aquarius Guy (January 21 - February 19) Looney Fashion Victim
Curiosity
might have killed the cat, but it certainly made him fall for you. It
doesn’t matter if you’re less than perfect in appearance, he will
venture out to dissect you and your personality under a microscope.
When he’s through analyzing you and his curiosity is satisfied, he will
still love you, but in a manner that is more friendly than romantic.
This guy may dress weirdly. This is brought on partly by his refusal to
conform to the current fashion trends, and partly because he thinks
it’s the way he should dress. He took care in picking his clothes and
follows his own original style. This guy is eccentric, sometimes to
outrageous degrees. He may space out during a conversation, just
because something in that conversation triggered a mental adventure
that he’d rather not share with anyone, lest they be shocked or think
he’s crazy. Perhaps he is a little bit on the looney side, but for him,
that’s normal and perhaps thinks that it’s the other way around; that
the whole world is looney and he’s the only sane person living in it.
He is also a genius, and his genius borders on the insane. He is a
humanitarian and won’t let other people suffer when he can do something
about it. His ideas are usually never-heard of and he’s quite proud of
his ability to innovate schemes that seems too crazy to work, but they
do. Any form of restriction and emotional suffocation will have him
running from you fast.
In Love: He will let you have
your way most of the time, just to avoid confrontations and arguments.
See, when you don’t argue, he is free to think of other things. His
imagination brings him to places that no one else has ever been in, and
this originality will show in his sexual performance as well as date
choices. He won’t force you to believe everything he says, but he will
not let you bind him into your idea of a perfect boyfriend.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When talking to him and he suddenly talks about something that’s
completely out of topic, the best reply would be an amazed “Ooowws?”,
rather than a sarcastic “d-uh?”. Don’t make the mistake of calling him
weird when he goes to a date wearing mismatched clothing or he will
make sure that the date becomes hell for you. Better yet, compliment
his unique appearance. If you really can’t stand it, be resourceful in
making him put on a jacket or changing his shirt to something that you
just bought from a store.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pisces Guy (February 20- March 20) Inspired Dreamer
When
you meet him for the first time, he instantly seems adorable to you.
Like a puppy waiting for adoption, he looks at you as if he’s imploring
you to bring him home. He won’t be a brat but will be a needy child
wanting reassurance of love all the time. When he tells stories, the
characters and plots become animated, as if you’re watching a
full-length movie or play right there in front of you. There’s no
indication in his twikling eyes whether his stories are just imagined
or if some parts were emphasized to artistically big proportions for
entertainment. This guy will voluntarily serve you in any way he can,
and he will be thoughtful when there are occasions that need to be
celebrated. After years of relationship, you’d be surprised how much
detail he will still remember of your first date and what you wore
then. This is a very sensitive guy and will float away from you with a
slight smile and no explanation at all when you said something to hurt
his fragile ego. When inspired with an optimistic partner, there are no
limits as to how far he will excel in his career or in his future. But
at the same time, when people around him continuously feed their
negative energies to him, the depth of his depression is limitless. His
mercy knows no boundaries and will almost always forgive the gravest
mistake. Though Pisces is not really a possessive sign, my experience
with this guy tells otherwise. If the relationship is on the shallow
waters, he will not mind sharing you with others, and will even
jokingly ask you with a smile if you have a crush on his best friend.
But if he becomes very attached to you and the relationship heads
deeper, the gentle arowana turns into the Greath White Sharkey who will
ruthlessly cut the competition and you also, if you show signs of
preferring other guy over him.
In Love: This guy is
sensitive to your moods and will not be embarrassed to cry his heart
out I front of you. If during your relationship you told him about your
love for Haagen-Das ice cream, he will go to the Haagen-Das shop alone
and eat ice cream when he misses you or when he’s still hung up on you.
He secretly has a song for you in his mind which makes him emotional
everytime he hears it over the radio. His choices of gifts are
sentimental and whimsical rather than practical.
Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When you’ve said yes to this guy, it means you’ve decided to adopt him.
He will slave over your needs for as long as he can, even when he’s
bone tired. It is your responsibility to make sure na hindi naman niya
napapabayaan ang sarili nya dahil sa yo. Keep his sentimental letters
in a nice box and show it to him during your anniversary. He likes to
reminisce about past dates with you so always make sure that you keep a
remembrance or a token whenever you’re dating in a nice location, and
also show these to him during your monthsary/anniversary.
In Ragnarok online, there's this category of players we call Chixilogs. Literally, this means that the player driving the female character is a guy in real life. In a negative sense, these chixilogs use feminine wiles to trick their fellow players into doing them some in-game favors. This is a derogatory name that is given to those who are willing to roleplay their girl character to its full potential and swallow their in-game manhood just to get further in the game. This is also a reflection of the way society views women, in general; implying that girls are the needy ones, and guys are the providers. Guys have a certain perception of how a girl should act, look and, in the game pRO, play.
