Okay, so the other day I was thinking about what really ticks off a Cancer guy, you know? I mean, I’ve been around enough of them to get a feel, but I wanted to really nail it down. So, I started by jotting down my own experiences.
First thing I did was think about all the Cancer men I’ve dated or just been friends with. What were the common threads when things went south? Emotional unavailability was a big one. Like, these guys are all about feelings, and if you’re not there with them on that level, it’s a major issue.
- Digging deeper, I went online. Not gonna lie, I spent a good few hours reading articles and forums. I wanted to see what other people were saying, what the common complaints were.
- Made a list. Yeah, I’m that person. I had this whole list going of potential turn-offs. Stuff like lack of empathy, being unreliable, not being supportive – all that jazz.
- Then I started testing it out, in a way. Not like, manipulating people, but more like, being extra mindful in my interactions. I paid attention to how my Cancer friends reacted to different things.
- One time, I was hanging out with my buddy, who’s a total Cancer. We were talking, and I kinda steered the conversation towards relationships. I noticed how his face fell when we talked about unreliable or insensitive partners. Bingo!
Conclusion
It’s not rocket science, but it does take some observation. It is clear that a Cancer man might shut down to protect the other person from their own emotional turmoil, if you are cold or insensitive. You gotta be in tune with their emotions, be someone they can rely on, and just be there for them. It’s all about that emotional connection. Miss that, and you’re basically missing the whole point of a Cancer guy.
