Random Dating Thought of the Day

An estimated 75 percent of the profiles I click on on JDate are Geminis. What does this mean? That Gems are more likely to use online dating, or that I'm more attracted to Geminis, even through only a photo and a few lines of text?

If you count 'em up I'm betting it does not add up to 75%. But perhaps you're attracted to these sorts of Geminis. Which of course can't make too much
logical sense because since when did a Greco-Roman system of astrology ever coincide well or predictably with 'personality types'. Show me a person
who takes this stuff seriously, and I'll show you someone who does not know science well enough. (There's only one viable exemption for Historians of
Science and such). I had a dear friend in University who took these things far too seriously for my taste. It was about the least attractive thing about her. Cheers, 'VJ'

Is there a way to indicate "I don't believe in this, it is both prohibited by Judaism as well as foolish, and if you still want to know, we're not suitable for each other."?

It could be a Gemini plot to take over the world, one single Jew at a time. Or, y'know, coincidence.

Well, I dunno.. I don't put all my stock in things astrological, but I will tell you that of the three deeply serious relationships I've had in my life (including my marriage), the two best ones were Leos (the worst was my marriage). I'm noticing as well with dating that I seem to be hitting it off with Leos.

And Warren, astrology isn't "prohibited" per se. The Talmud and other figures (Rambam) discuss the Mazalot and things associated with them. Adar is Mazal Dagim (fish, or Pisces, which usually coincides in the month of Pisces).

Any Leos out there wanna hit me up? ;)

OK this was funny, and I still know I'm going to regret saying this but... Umm Chutzpah, you sleep with that evil twin, right? And yes, accusing a 'fantastic partner' of being gay is not the best way to garner future dates. Cute & funny though it may be, up close, not as endearing. And needs serviced on demand? Not even our most revered prophets ever enjoyed such devotion. But thanks for sharing that.

Sorry about Tom Jones. Good to hear that he's still with us and still touring, such a trooper! Came in almost with the Beatles, and still going on touring, the Stones look to him for inspiration no doubt. Good luck finding a decent hetero guy to accompany you. He owns a slightly different segment of the audience that Liberace once cultivated, but it's not all that different when the options dwindle down at the end. They were contemporaries after all & goodnatured Vegas rivals.

So where is this Nokia Theater? Which 2-3 skin joints did it replace in Times Square?

Bus companies are notoriously difficult to keep going, but I'm betting that your ex(?) made a decent living at it in Canada. It's a good market as long as you know what you're doing.

Thanks again for sharing though. I still say astrology has nothing much to do with personality development, unless by a process of mutual convergence of expectations from overly gullible people. Cheers, 'VJ'

So, so weird, because about 75% of the jdate emails that I receive are from scorpios or sagitarians. (Nov. & Dec. birthdays)... Ironically, in real life, I have a tendency to date scorpios and sags... also capricorns... but it's always a random coincidence that I don't even realize till after the fact... maybe there's something to it. I don't think I rec'd one email from a gemini, or cancer... I guess I'm not attractive to those guys.
