5 Reasons NOT to date a Cancerian man

Pin it Share
 

So you’ve read our list of 5 reasons why you should date a Cancerian man. Here’s why you should think twice before you do.

Competitive
A Cancerian man loves competition and often finds more pleasure in humiliating his opponent rather than winning.  As much as he protects his partner, he can also be a bully. He expects a lot of respect, but will only give it to others if he deems them worthy of it. And that includes you.

Always on the attack
A Cancerian man uses words as a weapon to inflict pain upon others When Cancerian men feel threatened, they often tend to react without thinking, lashing out and using words as a weapon to inflict pain on others.This can be detrimental to the relationship and might also have huge repercussions in the bedroom.

Crabby
Just like his star sign (The crab) he is likely to be crabby and cranky at the slightest whim. He is prone to avoiding a serious relationship for as long as possible and then enter into one with an abundance of foreboding, making him difficult to pin down.

Clingy
While he can be a devoted and loving partner, on the flip side of the coin, he can also be clingy and emotionally needy. The constant changes in his moods can be very exhausting and quickly ruin any burgeoning relationship.

Mommy’s little crab

Because he is a family man, he is very much attached to his mother. He will shut you out whenever your relationship becomes confrontational, and might go running to mommy dearest to help validate his self-esteem again. One thing’s for sure… you should think twice before getting involved with this Mommy’s boy.
