Give me a few minutes of your time, and I&#8217;ll make it worth your while. Beer and nachos will be served afterwards.<\/em><\/span><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\">You may have noticed by now that, for whatever reason, women are generally more &#8220;into&#8221; astrology than guys are. For many men, astrology is kind of a &#8220;chick thing.&#8221; You know, like Sandra Bullock movies&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\">or &#8220;Sex And The City&#8221; &#8212; things we men find easy, convenient or even preferable to ignore outright.<\/span><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\"><br \/>Dave, get away from the nachos. I said &#8220;afterwards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, though: There really is a Battle of the Sexes going on, and by and large, men are ignoring their opponent&#8217;s strategies. No wonder we&#8217;re doing so badly at it!<\/p>\n<p>Generally, it&#8217;s been my experience that men and women really are more alike than they are different. It&#8217;s just that women use slightly different mating strategies. Women enjoy looking for subtle little hints and patterns in a man&#8217;s behavior as to whether or not he&#8217;s worth the time. And I think the reason why astrology is generally more popular with women than men is that astrology provides vital clues as to what a person is really like &#8230; not just right now, but in the long term. And let&#8217;s be honest &#8230; women are usually a little more focused on the long term than we are.<\/p>\n<p>Dave, put the nachos down. I&#8217;m not done yet.<\/p>\n<p>So, I recommend you guys learn&nbsp;astrology for the following practical, no-nonsense reasons:<\/p>\n<p>1. It will help you understand what she&#8217;s thinking when you tell her you&#8217;re a Pisces, or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>2. It will help you understand her better, and what to expect when she says she&#8217;s a Gemini, or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>3. It will give you a basis for conversation when you meet a woman. Having an extra one of those is always good.<\/p>\n<p>4. It will show that you care enough about people to make the effort to understand how they really work.<\/p>\n<p>Trust me guys &#8230; I know what I&#8217;m talking about. I wrote a whole book about astrology, love and seduction &#8230; Google me, you&#8217;ll find it. And so far, women are responding well to it, and buying it.<\/p>\n<p>Finally: The most important reason of all why men should take an interest in astrology:<\/p>\n<p>5. Ever notice how many women hang out in the metaphysics section at book stores? There you have it.<\/p>\n<p>Good hunting, gentlemen.<\/p>\n<p>And Dave &#8230; yes, now it&#8217;s nachos time.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/matthewastrology.blogspot.com\/2013\/04\/about-readings.html\" >More about readings HERE<\/a><\/span><b><i><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogtalkradio.com\/loveandsexinthestars\" >The Blogtalkradio show is HERE<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Astrology For Life On Earth<\/div>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MatthewTheAstrologer?a=gL5T6NUyvXo:2Dncy3xyQwA:63t7Ie-LG7Y\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MatthewTheAstrologer?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MatthewTheAstrologer?a=gL5T6NUyvXo:2Dncy3xyQwA:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MatthewTheAstrologer?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/MatthewTheAstrologer\/~4\/gL5T6NUyvXo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This article originally appeared on Astrology.com&#8230; but I read my contract and it says the rights have returned to me.
