“Peeling away, yet I’m compelled to stay, cherishing you from a place between drawing blood & the gentlest touch.” - Hangnail

Hanging on by a thread…

I've been active on Threads and I'm enjoying it so far. However, I haven't fully figured out how the algorithm works. It shows me a lot of content from local users in Charlotte, with many threads about food, traffic, dating, fitness, and life in Uptown. 

Another major component of my Threads timeline is astrology, specifically content related to Virgo. I've posted my own threads on astrological topics, as well as technology, cars, food, and writing. But the astrology and Virgo-related content appears to be shown more frequently.  

Within the astrology and dating-themed threads, there is a lot of discussion about the best romantic matches for Virgos. Taureans are often cited as a top compatibility. Interestingly, I didn't have much experience with Taurus until I was an adult single male, smashing random women with reckless abandon and I have to agree about Virgo-Taurus magical pairing. 

As earth signs, we're grounded, realistic, and deeply value dependability in each other. I've been with two Taurus women, and I loved how they craved my affection and cherished touch. They were concise and matter-of-fact, not overly expressive with words, but I felt their love in a way that went beyond the surface. 

What also drew me to them were those authentic touches that reflected their confidence and versatility. I’m using to me language- Their style felt effortless and natural - from the way they wore their hair, whether silk presses, curls, or natural braids (no weaves or extensions), to their approach to nails and makeup. I admire the authenticity of someone who can switch up their look while staying true to themselves. Natural nails with just a polish and shine, a fresh face, that "just out-of-the-shower" glow - it's a beautiful kind of confidence. And yet, for date nights, events, or work, they could elevate their look with makeup, showing a polished, captivating presence without losing their natural appeal.

I love intensely, and with these Taurus women, it was as rewarding as it was exhausting. They have this grounded strength that comes with a "matter-of-fact" approach, but when these bulls see red - hold on for the ride. I ain't gonna hold you, I'd willingly, even eagerly, get back on, bucking and all. I've yet to find anyone else who shares the same values, aesthetic, appreciation for beauty in all forms (whether in nature, art, design, food or voices), or that same intensity in intimacy.

If you're in love with a Taurus, and wanna stick around for the ride, baby, hol' on tight
