Personal Perspectives from Taurus Natives

On Being “Boring”: “I can only speak for myself, but many misunderstand Taurus as boring or cold. That’s just the surface—we’re slow to warm up. Actually, we’re quite humorous and conversational. We’re rational and practical thinkers with strong self-control and planning skills, which makes friends feel secure around us. We prefer listening and supporting others rather than causing trouble.”
On Stubbornness: “In friendships, everyone gets a probation period where I deduct points for certain behaviors. While generally friendly, if provoked, a Taurus can hold a grudge and engage in cold wars. We’re stubborn—once we have an idea, not even a herd of bulls could change our minds.”
On Spending: “Taurus loves earning money, managing finances, and spending—but wisely. We’re practical, not speculative. For true friends, we’re generous, not stingy. We spend on people and things that matter. Some call us materialistic, but I believe it’s about value, not vanity. Taurus has luxurious tastes but isn’t obsessed with wealth.”
On Loyalty: “We dislike change and are very loyal with strong. We invest deeply in relationships but may when problems arise, preferring to avoid confrontation. With mental purity, if boundaries are crossed or issues pile up, we leave quietly but decisively—which can seem cold.”

On Absolute Awareness: “They say Taurus is black-and-white with love and hate, but I’m quite objective. I don’t label or judge people easily.”
On Valuing Money: “Yes, I value money. Put simply: pay me what the job’s worth, and I’ll do the work. Beauty fades, but money stays young. Men come and go, but money doesn’t walk away. It’s reliable and important—so of course I recognize its value.”
On Flexibility: “Many say Taurus is stubborn, but I’m not. I’m very principle-free. It’s hard to cross my because I feel like I don’t have one. I adjust my attitude based on who I’m with, though I’m very tolerant of beautiful people—yes, I have great taste and aesthetics.”
On Financial Skills: “The most Taurus-like thing about me is loving food—I was a food reporter. The least Taurus-like? I’m terrible with money and investments.”

On Patience: “They say Taurus women born into comfort are naturally kind, gentle, and love beauty, with great organizational skills—but that could apply to any woman. As for patience, I had more when I was younger. Now I’m less tolerant and more direct with my opinions.”
On Food: “As a food journalist, I’m picky about flavors. Many will eat whatever, but if something tastes off, I won’t eat it. I once refused a high-paying job because the cafeteria food was terrible. I can detect freezer burn no matter how seasoned the meat is, and from childhood, I could identify what neighbors were cooking by smell alone.”
On: “I enjoy cooking from recipes, saving many on Xiaohongshu. I don’t cook daily, but find it very relaxing.”
