Cancer Man

He can be moody. The changing moods of Cancers are one of their greatest charms, and as mutable as the natural landscape. Although they are worriers, they have kind and giving temperaments. Cancers also have excellent memories, so anything special that you do for him won't be forgotten.

If he is a single dad, see the affectionate side of his role as father. Knowing what he's like when he interacts with his kids heightens, by contrast, the intimacy he shares with you.

The Cancer male may often be moody, but he is rarely mean as he is afraid of losing something or someone. An extreme romantic, he is not always confident of his own attractiveness. Nonetheless, he understands women very well and loves children. The Cancer man is kind but, contrary to popular opinion, is not soft. Basically, this is a one-woman man who will sulk privately for days when his feelings are hurt and is best left alone when he is "down." Too much sympathy tends to make the Cancer male brood. He is far too deep to be able to sum-up on first acquaintance and snap judgments should not be made about this man. Women tend to like his sense of humor and his outlook on the world, but he can put on an act of geniality to hid his own feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. It is not so easy to understand the Cancer male. He will be an amusing and gallant escort or sweetheart but is very difficult to pin down. This man often avoids a serious relationship for as long as possible and even then, will enter into it with great trepidation.

The man who falls under the jurisdiction of this sign has a rather interesting idea of economy. He would rather go to the best restaurant and get what he pays for than risk offending his sensitive tastes with over-cooked food and indifferent service in a second rate establishment.

The Cancer male tends to be somewhat subjective in emotional matters, often unable to see anything from an objective point of view when he becomes upset. Nevertheless, he is usually generous with his affection and craves lots of affection in return...frequently feeling bitterly deprived if he does not get it.

Most girlfriends and wives of Cancer men find their mate to possess much sex-appeal, but any partner needs to learn that the male of this Sign likes to be left alone without question when he feels the need to sort out problems.
