What is The Weakness of Taurus Men?

A Taurus weakness can plague a relationship. He may be the perfect guy most of the time, but a few issues can dramatically eclipse some of his strengths.

If you love a Taurus man, you may have to overlook Taurus man weakness in order to preserve the best of the relationship. A Taurus’s weakness in love can undermine the relationship.

He can be insecure, jealous and slow to open up. He can also have trust issues and is notorious for being bad at communication. He has major flaws that get in the way of love.

Food and Alcohol

A Taurus man testing you can show some of his most frustrating attributes. However, even if he is not testing you, a Taurus man has a few major weaknesses that can be detrimental to a long-term relationship. Some of his weaknesses, however, can be used to your advantage.

For example, a Taurus man has a weak spot for sweets, gourmet food and alcohol. This can go to extremes as is the case of a Taurus man who becomes addicted to alcohol or food.

However, this desire for good food and drink can also be leveraged to entice a Taurus man. If you’re trying to get him to come back to you, make him a delicious meal or give him a gift of his favorite bottle of wine.

Jealousy

On the other hand, you don’t want to use all of a Taurus man’s weaknesses to your advantage. If you try to leverage his other weaknesses, including jealousy, it will backfire.

A Taurus’s weaknesses in love include a jealous and possessive streak. If you give him the impression that you are interested in another guy, a Taurus man will panic. He will shut down and it may ruin your chances with him in the future.

A Taurus man’s secret desire is to be the only man you’ve ever been in love with. This is not realistic and on some level he understands this. But if his jealousies are provoked, however, a darker side of your Taurus man may emerge.

When a Taurus man misses you, he will start to open up more. Even then, however, he may still be hesitant because one of a Taurus man’s biggest weaknesses is his tendency to not trust other people.

Hiding from Feelings

A Taurus man’s slow courting style is legendary. He will hide from his feelings whenever possible. This can mean that he won’t even realize he has feelings for you right away. His ability to stifle his feelings can lead to conflicts in the relationship.

When a Taurus man hides from his feelings, he’s not trying to hurt you. Instead, he’s trying to protect himself from any kind of emotional discomfort or vulnerability.

Taurus men crave emotional and physical security. When a Taurus man starts to fall in love with you, he’ll become more emotionally vulnerable and this can lead him to start to shut down.

A Taurus man who tries to avoid feelings can act like he’s running hot and cold, when in fact he’s just dodging his own emotions and avoiding attachment to you. This is one of the many weaknesses of a Taurus man and it can make it difficult to really establish a serious relationship.

Being Too Cautious

It can be hard to know when a Taurus man is done with you. He will use caution and hesitation to avoid dealing with feelings and becoming too committed to the relationship. One of his greatest strengths is that he is patient.

Yet a Taurus man’s patience can also lead him to become stagnant and too reserved. In the name of being careful, a Taurus man can take so long to show interest that he’ll lose all chances at love.

When a Taurus man is interested in you, he will step back and evaluate everything about you. He’ll try to imagine all the things that could go wrong with the relationship. He may hesitate to become seriously involved until he sees an absolute, fool proof, secure path to love.

Yet all this hesitation can cost him the relationship. While he’s holding back, you may assume he’s not interested. Someone else may catch your eye. If you move on before a Taurus man is ready to commit, he will just declare that he was right the whole time, that you were not really the one for him.

Poor Communication

When a Taurus man goes quiet it could be an indicator he is upset with you, or it could just mean he’s busy. Taurus men are notorious for being poor communicators. This is another infamous Taurus weakness.

Taurus men often expect other people to think the way they think. He’ll make assumptions and automatically expect you to be on the same page he’s on. When this is not the case, a Taurus man will become angry because you didn’t read his mind.

Taurus men often use very few words to communicate as well. If you miss his meaning, which most often is because he didn’t make himself clear, he will again become frustrated. He’ll act as if it is your fault for not reading between the lines.

Fear of Commitment

Taurus men actually value commitment. It is for this reason they place commitment in such high regard and also fear it. When a Taurus man is facing a commitment, he’ll act as if any decision he has to make is a sudden weight on his shoulders.

This takes all the fun out of the process. It can also lead a Taurus man to be afraid of making any commitments in the first place. When a Taurus man is in love, he will hold out for a long time before solidifying a commitment to you.

Deep inside, he may want to spend the rest of his life with you. But he will act as if expressing this automatically makes him responsible for following through and this jeopardizes his sense of security. Any added pressure will just scare him away.

Work Addiction

Another common Taurus man weakness is his addiction to work. Work is a Taurus man’s favorite method of escaping from his problems. Rather than dealing with a conflict and possibly feeling vulnerable or losing status, a Taurus man would rather lose himself in work.

This way, he can focus on successful and productive he is. He receives praise and reward for his hard-working nature. Even in the absence of overt praise, a workaholic Taurus man reaps the benefit of the money he earns through his long hours of overtime.

When a Taurus man doesn’t want to deal with a problem, he’ll just put all of his focus and attention into projects around the house or building his business or career. This is a convenient distraction that gives him an excuse not to interact with you.

Materialism

Another common weakness of a Taurus man is his materialistic nature. He isn’t afraid to work long hours and he understands the value of a dollar, yet he also tends to measure love and affection in tangible ways.

This can lead a Taurus man to focus on impressing his love interest with money and gifts. He may expect the same luxury treatment in return. A Taurus man finds security in the material.

For this reason he can also become a hoarder. He hates change and doesn’t like getting rid of anything. He feels secure when he’s surrounded by reminders of his wealth and status, so material possessions come to mean a lot to him.

Perfectionism

Taurus men are perfectionists. They can be quite successful because they strive to put their best effort into all they do. Yet perfectionism can also be a weakness of Taurus men, especially where relationships are concerned.

When a Taurus man starts to fall in love, his first response will be to panic. He will look for problems and anticipate things that could go wrong even before the problems really exist. His perfectionism can drive him to see any love interest as not good enough.

He’ll find comfort and security in finding fault with you because that way he has a built-in excuse to not take the relationship too seriously. When a Taurus man cares about you, he will automatically assume the worst.

Out of fear of being abandoned or having his heart broken, he will wait until he thinks everything is just perfect before he seriously pursues the relationship. Unfortunately, in doing this, Taurus men often create self-fulfilling prophecies.

Stubbornness

Anyone who has dealt with a Taurus man in any capacity knows how stubborn he is. The reputation for needing to have his own way is well earned. Taurus men can attribute much of their success to their stubborn side.

Yet their stubbornness can also be a downfall for Taurus men. They can wreck a good relationship or miss a great opportunity because their legendary stubbornness has gotten in the way.

Taurus men need a partner who can work with them without directly confronting them. When a Taurus man feels challenged in any way, his stubborn side will kick into gear and he won’t budge.
