What Not to Believe from Men of Each Zodiac Sign

People often say that love makes even the smartest woman act foolishly: if a man says he loves you “ten out of ten,” you give him twelve; if he asks you to wait, you spend your best years waiting... The Zi Wei Astrology website can’t tell you which lines from men are sincere, but the following claims from the twelve zodiac signs are definitely not.

Aries man: Let’s disappear somewhere quiet and lie low; I’m tired.

An Aries man might think this way after a setback, but don’t take it to heart or start planning around it. He’ll bounce back and charge ahead soon enough. Retreat for good? Maybe when he’s eighty.

Taurus man: Next time, I’ll definitely stand up for you!

If someone pushes you around and you go to a Taurus man in tears, he may talk a big game while comforting you. If that promise were real, why didn’t he back you up this time?

Gemini man: We’re just friends.

When a Gemini man says this, it might technically be true—but his idea of “friends” isn’t the usual one. In his book, “friends” can kiss and even share a bed, so it doesn’t mean “there’s nothing romantic between us.”

Cancer man: I’ll never contact her again.

If you’re not a Cancer man’s first girlfriend and you find he’s still doing things for his ex, don’t believe this line. If you’re serious about him, you might be better off making peace with his ex.

Leo man: This time, listen to me; next time, I’ll definitely listen to you.

Leos can be relentless about getting their way, tossing out promises to win you over. You’ve probably heard this one dozens of times—are you still buying it?

Virgo man: Do whatever you think is best; don’t worry about my feelings.

When a Virgo man says this, he may sound polite and gentlemanly. But once he starts sharing his “feedback,” he can turn into a relentless nitpicker—making you regret taking him at his word.

Libra man: I never care what other people think of me.

A Libra man may not even know whether this is true. Whatever he tells himself, real life shows his confidence often comes from others’ praise, and deep down he’s pretty sensitive.

Scorpio man: I don’t know.

If you ask a Scorpio man, “Don’t you know how much I love you?” or “Don’t you know I don’t love you?” and he answers, “I don’t know,” don’t buy it—he’s lying. Few signs read the human heart better than Scorpio.

Sagittarius man: I no longer believe in love.

A Sagittarius man might mope for a bit after a breakup, but it won’t change his outlook on love. He says this to draw sympathy—he’ll be back in the game in no time.

Capricorn man: I’m very open-minded; just be yourself.

Capricorn men can be quite self-centered. They give, but they expect returns. While trying to please you, they’re also setting clear limits. Cross those boundaries and there will be consequences.

Aquarius man: I just want a simple life with you.

An Aquarius man treats excitement like a hobby. He might truly want to spend his life with you, but a “simple” life? Even he doesn’t believe that. If you don’t have a strong stomach for unpredictability, keep your distance.

Pisces man: I just want to be alone.

If you read between the lines, he’s not lying: he just doesn’t want to be with you and hopes you’ll leave now. He may dislike noise and chaos, but true solitude isn’t his thing—this line is the prelude to a breakup.
