Dating for Pretentious Weirdos

I confess -- for me, and plenty of other nerds out there, someone with an impressive "educational pedigree" totally goes up several notches in attractiveness. And now, we've got Internet resources!

Dating Sites:
OkCupid.Com
(http://www.okcupid.com) -- free, and with tests, quantitative comparisons, etc.
GoodGenes.Com
(http://www.goodgenes.com/) -- expensive.
DateSmartPeople.Com
(http://www.datesmartpeople.com/) -- free.
TheSquare

Articles:
IvyGateBlog: Online Dating for Pretentious Weirdos -- an article about some of the "discerning singles." hehe
Hey, Baby -- what's your IQ?" -- JDate vs. DateSmartPeople.

Hey, Baby -- how can I know so many digits of pi and not the digits of your phone number?

http://www.physics.bc.edu/sps/pickup.html


1. Hey baby. It's massive. You know what I'm talking about.
2. What's your resonance frequency?
3. Your lab bench, or mine?
4. Don't you hate it how the coyote always remains suspended in midair until he looks down? It's just SO misleading.
5. Your eyes have a perfect wavelength of 563.4 nm.
6. Wanna couple our equations tonight?

8. Might I integrate your curves tonight?
9. I'm hung like a Foucault pendulum.

11. Einstein had great hair, didn't he? I just love your hair.
12. I know the spring constant for my mattress. Wanna take some data?
13. I haven't gotten laid in 4 years, 3 months, and 12 days, plus-or-minus 2 days. Would you care to check my error bars?

37. My friends told me that I should ask you out because you can't differentiate. Do you need math help?

This morning, I woke up to "White and Nerdy" on the radio.



Weird Al: "White and Nerdy" -- it's parody of "Ridin' Dirty".

DateSmartPeople.Com

hahaha I wish I'd thought of this idea: DateSmartPeople.Com
Their "Philosophy":

Your dating options shouldn't be limited because you're an intelligent and well-educated single, or are looking for one.

At DateSmartPeople.com, anyone who appreciates intelligence is invited to join, and you can choose how exclusive to be with SmartSearch.

I was actually looking through MIT's Admissions Blog and found this link to "Intelligent Turn-Ons": http://www.datesmartpeople.com/blogr.php?bid=13

Not a suuuuuper article, but I especially love the last sentence of the second paragraph (my dream date!) and the mention of nerdy pick-up lines. Which /would/ work on me. But...

Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...

Date: 2005-04-03, 9:30PM PDT


In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.

1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.

2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.

3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.

4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.

5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?

6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.

7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.

8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?

9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”

10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.

11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).

12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.

13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!” Believe me.

Sexology

From a MySpace Bulletin:
(I'm a Cancer.)

What the signs are like in BED!


AQUARIUS

Jan 21 - Feb 19
Ruling Planet: URANUS. The God of unexpected sexual twists and turns
Aquarians make much better friends than lovers, but ! when a t typical
Aquarian gets some bang-bang, it's more an intellectual experience than
an emotional one. Looks aren't important to Aquarians in a relationship,
it's the mind and spirit of a lover that turns Aquarius on.They are very
entertaining in bed and are probably the most inventive of all the signs.
Mental stimulation is more important to them than physical, which means
that pornography gets them hot! Aquarians are impatient and like sex to be
fast and satisfying. They are very particular about hygiene and
contraception and sleeping around holds little interest for them.

FAVE POSITION
Mutual masturbation.

BEST SEX TOY
A Dildo. Whether gay, straight, male or female, Aquarians will have some
fun with this.

AQUARIUS MALE IN BED
He has amazing staying power in the sack. He can keep at it and control
himself for as long as it takes for YOU to finish! He's up for anything
too. Role playing, S&M, posing nude in the backyard at 5am* he's just
not into 3somes, swinging or open relationships if YOU are involved.
He'll do that for fun, but not with the love of his life.

AQUARIUS FEMALE IN BED
She's looking for a lover who will be upfront with her, but until she
finds him, she will make do with whoever is available. LOVE freaks her
out. She likes keeping her emotions under tight control and may come
across as cold, but she's just protecting herself.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON AQUARIUS
Lie down as if you are top and tailing and gently tickle and stroke the
ankles and the calves. Don't tickle for giggles, but tease. After
awhile, do the same with your tongue. Lick up, down and all around.
Anywhere above the foot and below the knee is fair game. Lightly nip
the ankle of your Aquarian, they may laugh, but it's not laugh! er from
tickles, it's a release of tension that will most definitely lead to
some action!


PISCES

Feb 20 - March 20
Ruling Planet: NEPTUNE
The God in charge of delicious dreams, dangerous deceptions and sexual
fantasies Sexually speaking, Pisces is putty in your hands. Anything you
want, anything, is only a question away. If you're looking for someone who
will go the extra mile to discover all your secret moan zones, then
Pisces is for you! When a typical Piscean makes out, it's an act of
romance rather than pure pleasure. Pisces is the sign of love itself.
They are so romantic and want satin sheets and candles, poetry and a
full moon. Music also gets them in the mood. One of their least
appetizing traits is their ability to become very, very jealous.
Sometimes they are so scared of losing the fairy-tale romance that they
ruin the happy ending themselves.

FAVE POSITION
Pisces is all about Oral affections!

BEST SEX TOY
A copy of the Kama Sutra, since your fish is into almost anything

PISCES MALE IN BED
He is romantic and has the reputation of being a womanizer. The
girlfriend of a Piscean man should keep her eye on the ball as he can
be a bit flighty.But he does make an excellent lover. He's from the old
school that sex should be an almost out of body experience, and if he's
showering his attentions on you, you're in for a hell of a good ride!

PISCES FEMALE IN BED
She needs romance. It's the very air that she breathes. She needs to be
held gently and whispered sweet nothings to but when it comes to
between the sheets action, she's never happy doing the same ol', same ol'
when she knows there are more exciting options at hand.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON PISCES
The Pisces Zesty-zone is their feet! If you want to make Pisces your
Love Slave, start with a warm, scented footbath and soak their feet for
10 minutes. Then sit in front of them, cross-legged, and rub their feet
firmly through the water. Use kneading motions that run from their ankles
to the tips of their toes. After 5 minutes, get a scrub brush and clean
their tootsies with lots of TLC, dry them off and lightly massage
peppermint oil all over their feet, paying close attention to between
their toes. Pisces REALLY gets off on this! Once oiled up, gently kiss
each toe, one by one. Then let your tongue take over and you're in
baby!!!


ARIES
March 21-April 20

Ruling Planet: MARS
The bonk now/think later God of War, aggression and action!
Sexually, Aries is an explosion waiting to happen! The excitement is often in the chase more than the actual conquest though and while they may appear to want to dominate, they do not want a submissive partner.
Routine brings boredom to sex for Aries, so if you're only comfortable with the missionary position, go for another sign, but if you like forceful personalities and enjoy pretending you're a human Twistie, then you've found paradise with an Aries.

FAVE POSITION
Always on top and always in charge

BEST SEX TOY
Handcuffs! Like I said, Aries likes to take charge!

ARIES MALE IN BED
The Aries male is loud, domineering and 100% stud! He's from the bump n grind school of lovemaking so if you're looking for romantic dinners by candlelight and long walks on the beach, keep looking! He's the original 5-minute man (This "5 minute" time message does not apply to Dragon) so if you're turned on by ultra-macho grunt-and-groaning types, you've just found your ticket to heaven! He's not prone to cheat unless you bore him in bed and he likes sex fast and furious baby!

ARIES FEMALE IN BED
She views sex as more of a physical act than something from a soppy romance novel. If you're a bored exec and want to find out what it's like to be treated like a piece of meat, then go for a one night stand with an Aries chick. She'll be gone before you wake up and may not remember your namethe next time you meet. She's got a touch of KINK to her personality so don't get freaked out when she talks dirty or puts you over her knee for a spanking. She's all woman, but are you man enough to handle her?

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON ARIES
If you want to seduce an Aries, running your fingers through their hair is an awesome starting point! And licking and nibbling around their face or neck will get them going too! Just be careful to keep your saliva at bay. Drool is not cool!


TAURUS
April 21 - May 21

Ruling Planet: VENUS
The Goddess in charge of love, beauty and sex Taureans are ahead of the game when it comes to love coz they are ruled by VENUS, the planet of Love! Taurus has all the qualities a lover desires, including sensuality, loyalty and faithfulness.When a typical Taurus makes love, it's the most physical and natural pleasure in the world. They believe the romantic approach to
sex almost always pays off so they will happily cook dinner, buyflowers, and light candles for someone they wanna bang. They don't like to rush things and take everything, including sex, slowly.

FAVE POSITION
The one Taurus enjoys most is the Missionary. Some may say this is so unadventurous, but Taurus is very practical and this is the most comfortable.

BEST SEX TOY
A battery powered "erotic massager"

TAURUS MALE IN BED
The Taurean man needs a woman who will want to stay home to eat and make love. He can be stubborn and is known to sulk like a little boy, but he LOVES making up!! (Rrrrow!) He likes to take things slow and gently and can last for hours, always waiting for HER to finish before rolling over to sleep.

TAURUS FEMALE IN BED
She is great at back massages and sex in general. She makes an art of lovemaking.Just kissing her can bring some men to the big "O". Her touch is gentle and tender, it excites and caresses and when in the mood, she too can go for hours at a time, days on end.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON TAURUS
There's nothing Taurus enjoys more than having their neck kissed and their earlobes nibbled.Light, feathery caresses up and down the neck followed by gentle licks, no biting, will make a female writhe with delight and a male stand at attention within seconds.


GEMINI

May 22 - June 21
Ruling Planet: MERCURY
The swiftest God in the skies, who also happens to be in charge of
ultr-extreme raunchy talk Talking about sex is Gemini's favourite hobby and
doing it comes a close second.Gemini 's love flirting and lap up attention
from the opposite sex, but sometimes that's all they're looking for.They
need a lot of variety when it comes to sex - dirty weekends away, a quickie
in a shop doorway, serious groping under the table at a fancy restaurant. A
lot of Gemini's are bisexual too and can often be drawn to those of the
same sex.

FAVE POSITION
As long as it's different every time, they're not fussy, but if they
must choose, it's that naughty number right after 68, since they can
come up for air if they need to.

BEST SEX TOY
Any illustrated book about kinky sex, so Gemini can pick up some wild,
new ideas

GEMINI MALE IN BED
He likes to give AND receive and can be quite inventive.
He's a lights on, in front of the mirror kinda guy and if you make a
few subtle noises and talk a wee bit dirty, he'll be very happy.

GEMINI FEMALE IN BED
She is more interested in IQ than private parts. If she can't respect
the intellect, then satisfaction is not possiblefor her. She may sleep
around forever and never find her true love and she is not the most
faithful of the signs. She likes sex on the run, in an airplane toilet,
in the storeroom at work, in the backseat of a car*.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON GEMINI
Focus on the shoulders, arms and legs of a Gemini and you're headed for
the good books. They love a good massage and their hands are so
sensitive that even having their fingernails played with sends shivers
up their spine! Kiss up and down each of your Gemini's arms, sneak in a
few licks, nips and nibbles. If you get one or two yelps, then you know
you're doing something right.then, move onto the fingers, slowly kiss,
lick, nip and nibble each fingertip, then pull out the killer move -
suck on each finger, slowly, as if it's a lollipop. I'll almost offer a
money back guarantee on this one working!


CANCER

June 22 - July 23
Ruling Planet: THE MOON
Which isn't a planet at all but the satellite responsible for this
water sign's many mood swings! Love and sex go together for Cancer. They
need to feel secure in love before they can relax in sex and Cancer often
feels a little bit guilty after doing the deed because they usually
associate sex with babies, especially the women, who either get pregnant at
the drop of a hat or take longer than usual. All Cancers WANT to be
parents!Cancers become sexually excited when they feel secure. They are
turned on by home cooked meals and partners who love kids. In so many ways,
Cancer is the dream partner!

FAVE POSITION
Any position that's comfortable and involves Cancer lying flat on their
back with all their sensitive areas exposed!

BEST SEX TOY
A drink or joint that will relax the overly-cautious crab!

CANCER MALE IN BED
He is a sensitive lover and will put his partner's needs before his
own. He has a tenderness about him that drives women wild!If the Cancer guy
decides he's in it for the long haul, he'll do whatever it takes to
keep his lover happy in and out of the bedroom. Oh, and he's a BREAST man!!

CANCER FEMALE IN BED
She oozes sexiness and is born to mate!! Compliments and kissing will
win her over, so as you're nibbling on her ear, whisper "you're so
beautiful" to get her quivering. Perhaps the Vincent (Big Brother)
growl would work on a Cancer woman?

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON CANCER
Concentrate on the breasts and pecs of Cancer to really get them
going.Start by kissing and brushing up against them. Licking the Cancer
female's nipple through her top will excite her, but don't 'dive right
in' coz you're likely to scare her.It's the complete opposite for the
Cancer male who will LOVE it if you get straight to the point. Squeeze
his pecs and bite his bod and you'll have him bouncing off the walls in
no time!


LEO

July 24 - August 23
Ruling Planet: THE SUN
Which isn't a planet at all, but a star, and just like Leo's opinion of
themselves, it's the centre of our solar system!
Leos can be very 'into themselves' when they bonk. It's not that they
don't make their partner feel ! special, it's just that they often
forget about them as they secretly high-five themselves for scoring
again! Leo does actually want more from a partner than just sex though.
Leo wants love and friendship too. They can be very romantic, but when
they get into bed, it's not an experience they're about to have, it's a
show! They like to perform... and they take requests!
"Doing it" is the ultimate stress buster for Leo and they are pretty
damn good at it, but they need constant praise for their outstanding
performance.

FAVE POSITION
Receiving 'oral affections', since Leo is all about getting serviced!

BEST SEX TOY
A camera, or a game of Strip Poker will get the cat purring* or perhaps
you can use them both together!

LEO MALE IN BED
You are the King of the Jungle and expect to be treated that way! You
are a good lover because you don't like to fail at anything. You are
sexy and have an aura of sexiness that is difficult to deny. But, you
will let anyone adore you, so your partner has to make the effort or
you will pad off to your next Lioness!!

LEO FEMALE IN BED
You are elegant and sexy without even trying. Men love you and women
want to be you. You like to play cat and mouse with men and command
respect. In bed, you are a real panther and can scare the pants off
most men. You adore raw sex, so your partner should go with you and enjoy
it. You're a once in a lifetime experience!

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON LEO
A Leo's 'moan zone' is his or her back. First of all, ask your Leo to
roll onto his/her tummy. Start with a gentle scratch that runs from the
top of the ass to the base of the skull. I'm not talking about tender
tickles or a tantalizing tease - I mean a REAL back scratch, coz if
there's one thing cats love, it's a scratch! After a minute or so, get
out the massage oil and spill it into a snaky pattern on Leo's back.
Then rub all over. Keep doing this until you know Leo is ready to roll
over. If they start falling asleep, give them a gentle prod in a
delicate place! Once Leo is ready to roll over, don't let them! Leo
will be excited by your control. YOU decide when it's time to 'flip your
feline' over and get into the good stuff!


VIRGO

Ruling Planet: Mercury
The God in charge of intellect and speed* but don't worry because Virgo
likes to take their time in the sack!! Virgos have two sides to their
personality. The Virgin and the Vixen. They may want you to THINK they are
all sweet and virginal, but they are definitely NOT!However, Virgos are
looking for a long term partner, not a one night stand or an affair! They
tend to seduce with finesse, charm and subtlety so you may not even realize
you're being lured by a Virgo!! Once Virgo has been in a relationship for
awhile, they get engrossed in housework and things like that, which can
cause a serious dip in libido.
Do NOT let this happen! They are definitely more of a "can we cuddle
instead" sign that a 'let's get it on!' one when committed.

FAVE POSITION
Almost anything, as long as it involves eye contact!

BEST SEX TOY
It's more of a game. Write down five wild sex acts and put them in a
bowl. Get Virgo to pick one out at random, and then do what you're
told!! Virgo LOVES spontaneous sexuality!

VIRGO MALE IN BED
You can be quite boring at times because you have set views on how a
woman should be. You don't mean to criticize or offend, but your
perfectionist ways may drive your lover loopy! You DO have some kinky
ideas though, but it is difficult to get to the bottom of your passion!
You are a creature of habit, so if your lover can get u into the habit
of sleeping with her, who knows what might happen?

VIRGO FEMALE IN BED
You are hardworking and careful about your appearance, but you really
do fantasize about getting down and dirty! You are a secret romantic and
crave the perfect lover. Since the perfect lover doesn't exist, you'll
take what you can get! You are quite insecure and need a partner who
will adore you. You have strong passion beneath that practical exterior
and are just waiting for someone to unearth it!

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON VIRGO
Virgo's have a VERY sexually sensitive tummy!! If you wanna make them
putty in your hands, stroke, lick and kiss their stomach!! The area
from the bellybutton DOWN! Once you have them squirming, you can have
anything you want!! Just remember to keep one hand on their tummy at
all times!!


LIBRA

September 24 - October 23
Ruling Planet: Venus - The planet in charge of beauty, love peace, and
stirring sensuality Libra is one of the sexiest signs in the zodiac, but if
Libra can't get what they want from one lover, they will opt for two! They
are notorious for having double standards in that situation too. They'll
look you in the eye and say "never cheat on me, coz I would never do it to
you", even when they have a hot night of passion planned with someone else!
Librans are more turned on 'giving' than 'receiving'. They have a big heart
and are the least selfish sign of the Zodiac. Libras are not very open
about their thoughts or fantasies. They'd rather say nothing than tell the
truth and offend or embarrass you. In bed, it takes a while
for them to be comfortable enough to tell you exactly what they want.

FAVE POSITION
As long as they are lying down, they're happy!

BEST SEX TOY
K.Y. Jelly. I will say no more!

LIBRA MALE IN BED
The Libra man sees sex as an exciting adventure and he'd be very keen
to do it in kinky places like a restaurant toilet! He likes being a bad
boy if there's a chance he might get caught. He'll try out any fantasy you
have, but whether or not you can keep a tight hold on his heart remains
to be seen. However, he can be a bit of a pushover, and is perfect
husband material, and he'd prefer his lover to take the lead. He is
romantic and considerate but may suffer from Premature Ejaculation!

LIBRA FEMALE IN BED
The only thing that separates Libra men and women is what's between
their legs! Libra girl wants a strong man who understands that she needs her individuality and freedom. She is turned off by burping, farting, and bad breath. Good personal hygiene is crucial if you want to get to 2nd base.Librans are very good at lying to get their own way.
When your Libra girl groans in bed, look into her eyes to make sure she's not 'faking it'.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON LIBRA
Libra's Love Zone is their lower back and butt, so please, squeeze and
pat your Libra's butt whenever you get a chance. When you're kissing,
reach under his or her top and stroke the lower part of their back,
starting in the middle and working your way down to their butt. Take
your time and be gentle! To really drive your Libra wild? Have you ever
heard of the term 'Rimming'???Does it surprise you that a high
percentage of Libras are gay?


SCORPIO

October 24 - November 22
Ruling Planet: PLUTO, The Roman God of the dead, beginnings and
endings. Which basically means that Scorpios add novel differences to any
relationship. Scorpios are very possessive. They will tense up if you even LOOK at another hottie across the room. But they can be relied on to always be there for you if you need them.
You may never really know what your Scorpio is thinking though, because to them, Knowledge is power and
they are very good at putting on a straight face to cover up any emotion they are feeling.Scorpios love sex. The dirtier, the better. Get them excited by revealing your filthiest fantasy and offering to act it out.

FAVE POSITION:
Anything, as long as it involves dominating your ass.

BEST SEX TOY:
Ben Wah Balls for the girls, and a Riding Crop for the boys

SCORPIO MALE IN BED
His sexuality is so strong, it will make you dizzy!! If you are lucky
enough to be with a Scorpio boy,you will always be satisfied!! There's
a rumour that the Scorpio man is the most skilled in bed. It's as true as
a black man has a giant wang!!! NOT!! Most are pretty good though!! The only thing
you don't wanna do is piss him off. Every little thing u do that he
doesn't like, he will file away in his little mental rolodex. Piss him
off one too many times, and he will wreak his revenge!!!

SCORPIO FEMALE IN BED
She may look like a quiet, shy girl, but in bed she is NOT! She is a
wildly passionate woman, who is DYNAMO in the bedroom.Just don't piss her off either, coz she can be more vengeful than a Scorpio man, and she has no problem causing a scene! Don't talk about other women, or play hard to get, because she will get u back, and it's a game of one-upmanship you will never win.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON SCORPIO
Since this is one of the horniest signs, it makes sense that their moan zone is between their legs! Then again, their big head (or their mind) is just as easy to turn on. Talking dirty and teasing your Scorpio will get them ready and randy in a flash!! Without getting too graphic, the magic words for today are RUB, RUB, RUB.


SAGITTARIUS

November 23 - December 22
Ruling Planet: JUPITER, God of money, luck and good times between the
sheets.

Sagos are playful, laid back and oh-so fun to party with. They are
wild, and may be the BADDEST party people you ever meet! One thing to be
wary of is that Sagos like to talk BULLSHIT! Don't believe everything they
tell you because they are kings at 'talking it up'.Sagos probably make
better friends than lovers, but if you happen to score a one-nighter
with them,be prepared to do stuff you've NEVER done before!Sagos are
spontaneous and adventurous and most have probably been caught doing it
somewhere public. When they find the right lover, they will give it
100% as long as the commitment is returned.

FAVE POSITION:
They are up for anything. Quality AND Quantity.

BEST SEX TOY:
Handwrite a sexual fantasy of yours and leave it on their pillow.
You'll be surprised at what happens next!

SAGITTARIAN MALE IN BED
Even if he's fat, balding and middle aged, he can still pull the
chicks. It's his love and pursuit of happiness that draws the babes to him.
Think "Austin Powers" baby, yeah! He is a wee bit selfish though, so be
prepared for an "all about me" attitude in the sack. He LOVES doing it,
and if you start holding out on him, he's likely to get it somewhere
else.He will either amaze his partner with his sexual expertise or be
absolute trash in bed!

SAGITTARIAN FEMALE IN BED
The Sago woman is a handful! She changes her mind more often than she
shaves her armpits, is blunt, oversensitive and takes offense at the
strangest things. She's adventurous in the bedroom and also has no
problems cheating if her needs are not fulfilled. But can u handle her
open-minded sexuality?She will hide her emotions from you, but don't
make the mistake of hiding yours from her. She's looking for someone
she can trust 100%, but is quite hypocritical since she can be very
untrustworthy herself.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON SAGITTARIUS
Hips and thighs are extremely sensual for a Sago, so concentrate on
massaging and stroking that area and the place in between! Don't be
afraid to ask your Sago if you're doing it right coz they would LOVE to
tell you! The best way to get them going is to grope their inner thigh
in a public place!


CAPRICORN

December 23 - January 20
Ruling Planet: SATURN - The God who oversees time, discipline and
dedication, which means Capricorn can go the distance - with major
staying power - in bed and beyond!! Capricorns are very good at hiding
their emotions, so it's often hard to tell when they are truly, deeply in
love. If you have a load of cash, you can almost bet on admiration from a
Capricorn because the goat is turned on by money. Like I said before,
Capricorn has great sexual stamina and the ability to go all night if they
want to!

FAVE POSITION:
Spooning! Goat boys and girls love to take, or be taken from behind.

BEST SEX TOY:
An office desk to "bond" on, or an erotic video will loosen up the
randy goat.

CAPRICORN MALE IN BED
Imagination isn't a strong suit for Capricorn so don't expect
acrobatics in the sack. Sex with him could possibly be as boring as
watching paint dry and he tends to be a little bit selfish in that area
too.BUT you can definitely count on him to be faithful if he has committed
to you.

CAPRICORN FEMALE IN BED
She is strong and confident and likes to run the show! She's a tough
nut to crack but once inside her shell, she's as sweet as caramel. Her fave
position may be missionary, but she seeks excitement in new locations, so
experiment with different venues to keep it interesting.

THE BEST WAY TO TURN ON CAPRICORN
Capricorns are the most anal signs of the zodiac, so buttering them up
will take a bit of effort. Believe it or not, their erotic area is the
knees! Lightly stroke their legs, paying close attention to the knee
region. Licking, kissing, and nibbling the area will get them squirming.
