Default Coincidence?

This is purely fluff, but admittedly, I find it no less weird.

I don't pay a great deal of attention to Astrological signs, or that kind of thing.

However ...

I can't help but think this has to be a statistical anomaly.

Last 4 women I have been 'highly' attracted to and involved with all share the same birth month. 3 have the same birthday. 3 have the same middle name. The fourth has a birthday within 7 days of the other 3.

Interesting? Odd? Yes? No?

Anyone else out there have a habit of stacking girlfriends with the same birthday?

I'm intimately acquainted with a woman who has married 3 Aquarian males - all February birthdates.

Wow ...

How about that?

On a lark, I actually did look into the whole Zodiac, sun-sign thing.

According to all of that, I don't do well with Aquarians ...

But ... the women I dig on are one of my most compatible signs. Which I found all the more bizarre, because I'm still not buying it.

Makes me want to go find a fiesty, passionate Aquarian ... just to blow the bell curve.

We all have preferences. I always dated Pisces and the time I deviated had awful consequences. Hubby never dated a non-Virgo. Weird? Yeah but there is something to be said about "birth signs" and how they relate to personalities.
Middle names being the same isn't so bad. Alot of women I know have Marie as their middle name. It's not hard at all to find a woman with that middle name and three wouldn't be unsual at all.
Same birthday is a little weird though.

My wife came from a family of atheist scientist types. Highly accomplished people who laughed about signs and all that. She carries on that tradition publicly, but I can tell she puts huge stock on my sign. She reads that stuff all the time and even her mother will sneak around to look at the horoscope stuff on yahoo. Anyway, my wife has basically admitted to me recently that me being born under a certain sign has huge importance to her, and all of her past boyfriends had the same sign but one. I don't get it.

Just don't go nuts and date a Scorpio. Virgos are pretty cool. Even tempered and docile. Oh wait, nevermind.

WHAT THE F--K!?!?!??!?!!!!!!!!!

Out of curiouscity for randomness I just came across this:

Aries Woman and Capricorn Man Love Compatibility | Ask Oracle
Quote:
She needs to be less demanding and he needs to be more expressive if they really value their relationship and want it to work.
Now that's just f--kin plain scary...
But other things it's rather incorrect, still, that ONE line was dead on.

Still, someone told me that with my birthday, I'm a cross Sagittarius/Capricorn or some such =/ hence the some Sagi stuff and some Capri stuff matches me while others don't, but I don't know -.-

Certainly not like I went looking. When the woman I'm dating told me her birthday, apparently I got a horrified look on my face, because she asked, "What's wrong?" and looked nervous ...

I told her I had a cramp ...

I guess I'm comfortable with it simply being 'Odd'.

I have a hard time accepting that our personalities are dictated by the orbits of celestial bodies, but boy could I go for a celestial body right about now ...

Buddum bum ... ching ...

Quit hitting on women at the DMV renewing their drivers licenses.

Mystery solved!

Deejo, oh I agree it's odd. I guess I didn't make clear, but my wife didn't know in advance what any given guy's sign was. She just ended up dating/marrying people who always had the same sign (but one didn't and he was a jerk, etc.). I don't believe it either, though I have nothing against it, but it's just all very surprising to me.

Ha!

Well, there is a reason why a certain month matters to you. I am no firm believer but my sister sure is and she emails me often about this stuff. Most of it is pretty spot on and based on when you were born, you gravitate towards people born during certain months. Very odd but less quacky than you (or I) would think.

Well you said you wanted fiery. Virgos can be calm and calculated but hot heads as well. Eh, we keep things interesting.
