WHY do females believe so much...?

Question

in their horrorscopes that they actually try to turn fantasy it into reality??

Does common sense elude them ??

Answer 1

Horoscopes are terribly general in nature and can somewhat apply to almost anyone.

I saw a show on TV once where they read horoscopes out of a one week old newspaper to a crowd of approximatley 30 people born under various astrological signs. They didn't say which "sign" the particular predictions applied to.

They read one and asked, "Who thinks this is their horoscope because it came true for you?" Something like 70%-80% in the group raised their hand for each horoscope read even though only a small percentage of the questions were for their sign.

Everyone in the group was a "believer". Many, when confronted with the fact that they had chosen other signs' predictions as their own, stated that they thought the questioning was rigged somehow or that it must be a coincidence that the other predictions ALSO applied to them. In other words, most of them would not give up their belief no matter what the evidence showed.

I don't think belief in such things is strictly a female thing either. I have met lots of guys who believe in astrology too.

Well, I gotta go now! I'm meeting some alien friends of mine. We're going to get together with Count Dracula and some of his victim's ghosts and go watch videos of the face on Mars with the Loch Ness monster.

Answer 2

Excuse me but not all females beleive in all that kind of stuff!

Answer 3

Because we like to believe in them, well we can't believe men can we ?

Answer 4

why are you being so stereotypical against all women.  We don't all believe that, I like reading my horoscope and making fun of how wrong it is.  I don't try to turn it into fantasy.

How would you like if I asked why all guys are jerks?

Its not fair to generalize and stereotype, because they are typically wrong.  You just seem narrow minded.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Errr...huge generalisation there!!! I don't believe in such things.

Common sense is not nearly so common as the name might imply!

Answer 10

i dont really believe in horoscopes. why do you have to stereotype women so much?

Answer 11

okay,

horoscopes are a bunch of vodo.

NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING IS TRUE>...

Answer 12

It takes a certain mentality to really get into horoscopes, palm reading, crystal ball gazing and the like. Something to "get you thru the night" I guess.

Answer 13

There is no such thing as 'Common Sense'.

What people choose to call 'Common Sense' is a set of judgmentally conceived dogmatic set of ideologies and spouted with the all the pretentions of Authority.

Just because something does not work for you, does not make a fantasy for everyone else.

Sash.

Answer 14

Don't make such broad generalisations. Horoscopes have never proved true for me so I think they are a load of rubbish and I'm female so there goes your theory

EDIT - Nope, I have read them a couple of times to see why my friends (some male) are so fascinated by them. It also depends on your belief system. I'm Muslim and horoscopes are bs according to my religion so no, it's not that I interpret them but that isn't the point here. It's that you made a statement about all women where it's clear that not all of us live by horoscopes but then again, I think you've already made up your mind, right?

Answer 15

I think its more the fact that guys don't seem to believe in anything but themselves... there's another overgeneralization for ya ^_^
