Pisces are often thought to be very emotional, though their emotions aren't always openly expressed. They can be outwardly observed, but inside, they can be swimming in a sea of emotion. Here is a guide to understanding the personality characteristics of the Pisces.
The Pisces Man and the Pisces Woman
In Western culture, men and women have different standards for expressing emotion. Women are often stereotyped to be overly emotional, while men are thought to be stoic and emotionless. Both of these stereotypes are false, harmful, and detrimental to communication between the sexes. The truth is that many women resent the assertion that they are ruled entirely by their emotions, and many men wish they had a chance to communicate their feelings without facing ridicule. These traits can be doubly true for Pisces, many of whom face intense and complicated feelings.
Pisces Likes and Dislikes
Pisces like things to go their way, but they aren't always complainers. Many of them prefer to pretend to have a good time, while inwardly upset that things aren't going exactly as they planned. Still others think of "things going their way" simply as spending time with the people they care about, and don't particularly care what they happen to be doing at the time. The common thread with all Pisces, and indeed, all people of all signs, is that they enjoy the feeling of being valued and respected by the people they are around. Feelings of being value-less or worthless to those they care about can be the most intense negative feelings for Pisces.
Pisces Dating
Many Pisces try to hide their emotions behind a mask when around others, but tend to drop the mask once they feel comfortable in a close relationship. This "dropping of the mask" can be startling to some who assume that the Pisces outer exterior of calm is the real them, so one should be prepared. Pisces can be compatible with all signs, though Aquarius can sometimes be a particularly good match.
Pisces in Love
Pisces often value love intensely and are willing to make sacrifices if needed to keep it. They are passionate when they feel love and they show it. It is therefore easy to tell when a Pisces is really in love, and the quickest way to lure a Pisces is to describe their qualities and why they are so wonderful.
Every Pisces has a different personality, so one should never try to generalize. No doubt many individuals of other star signs will see a bit of themselves in this description of the Pisces. Hopefully, this brief overview simply provides a look at an interesting star sign and an interesting personality type.
