The Best & Worst Zodiac Signs To Date
Ranked from worst zodiac sign to best zodiac sign.
12. Scorpio Man
MyDomaine
Scorpio men make my list for the zodiac sign that gets the worst rap when it comes to dating. Though the Scorpio man has a deep spiritual and intuitive aspect, they are known to be very promiscuous. Oftentimes, a Scorpio "be for everybody!" They are also very emotional but only when it is in their favor. For this reason, they can be deceptive, emotionally manipulative, and possessive.
Scorpio Best Traits:
- Deeply spiritual
- Sexual
- Intuitive
- Passionate
- Romantic
- Spontaneous
- Loves to spoil
- Fun-loving
Scorpio Worst Traits:
- Jealous
- Egotistical
- Overly emotional
- Secretive
- Perfectionist
- Materialistic
- Suspicious
- Insecure
- A lush
Scorpio Compatibility: The most compatible signs with Scorpio are generally considered to be Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces. The least compatible signs with Scorpio are generally considered to be Leo and Aquarius.
How To Connect With A Scorpio Man:
Scorpio Man Communication
When trying to connect with a Scorpio on a deeper level, the best thing to do is to have real, deep, and meaningful conversations with them. Skip the small talk if you are trying to be serious about a Scorpio man. Speak about things of a spiritual or universal nature. Deeply connect to whatever gives you both the chills in a good way. Be his biggest fan and give him positive and constructive feedback on what he is doing or is passionate about. Don't just say things that you think he wants to hear. Give him the real, and you'll have him head over heels in no time.
Scorpio Man Trust and Commitment
Be emotionally available for a Scorpio man. Allow him to be in a place of vulnerability, and never use it against him during disagreements or arguments. Build a foundation around shared traditions and milestones in your relationship. Show him that you can be a support system emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Don't be in a haste to ask about rings and marriage. Allow him to take the initiative. Don't push him toward what you want, rather - let him naturally want to meet you halfway.
Scorpio Man Sex
When connecting to your Scorpio man sexually, allow him to steer the ship and bring it to shore. They like to be the boss in bed, and your pleasure is their utmost mission. They want to show you why they got the juice and they want it to be real. Allow your man to do his job because he will aim to please. Be passionate and lovey dovey with a Scorpio man. They love pillow talk! And most importantly, be comfortable! You don't always have to wear your finest lingerie or have your face exquisitely beat. He will love you just the same in his boxers and T-shirt right before he strips you butt ass naked.

When discussing the topic of raising children, discipline is often the first thing that comes to mind. Children need discipline. Full stop. But what is discipline? And how do we draw the line between discipline and revenge?
The origin of the word "discipline" can be traced back to the Latin word "disciplina," which means "instruction" or "teaching." Over time, however, discipline has come to be synonymous with punishment, with parents relying on shame, fear, and/or physical pain to curb undesirable behavior.
Teaching takes time, so nipping it in the bud in whatever fashion parents deem necessary (within reason) has become the norm. But is this what’s best for children? And when does it become less about curbing undesirable behavior and more about getting our licks back for offenses we feel our children should know better to do?
In my work as a parenting coach, I’ve often heard parents say, “I asked him nicely three times before spanking him. He didn’t stop doing it until I did, so clearly talking doesn’t work.”
And the parent isn’t wrong. Talking often doesn’t work the first, the third, or the even the 10th time. And the reason is directly tied to brain development.
Children cannot and do not process information the way an adult can. Auditory processing is not fully developed until a child is 14 or 15 years old. And even then, if a child has auditory processing delays or Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), they may always struggle with processing auditory commands. According to Susie S. Loraine, MA, CCC-SLP, the term auditory processing refers to how the brain perceives and interprets sound information. Several skills determine auditory processing ability—or listening success. They develop in a general four-step hierarchy, but all work together and are essential for daily listening.
Without this understanding, discipline can easily become revenge because parents will then view their child’s misdeeds as a personal slight. Instead of teaching them to do better, parents now want to show them the consequences of not doing better. This is why it's imperative for parents to discern between discipline and revenge to maintain healthy relationships with their children.
5 WAYS TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PARENTAL GUIDANCE AND RETALIATION:Â Â
​Understanding The Intent
Discipline is rooted in love and concern for the child's well-being. It focuses on teaching lessons and helping children understand the consequences of their actions. Conversely, revenge-driven actions stem from a desire to inflict pain or punishment as payback for perceived slights or disobedience. Parents should reflect on their motives before taking disciplinary actions. Ask yourself whether your intention is to help your child learn or to make them suffer for upsetting you.
Example: If a child accidentally breaks a valuable item, a disciplinary response would involve discussing the importance of being careful and working with the child to come up with a way to replace or fix what they’ve broken. On the other hand, a vengeful reaction might involve yelling, harsh punishment, or bringing up past mistakes to intensify guilt.
​Maintaining Emotional Regulation
Effective discipline requires parents to remain calm and composed, even in challenging situations. It's natural to feel upset or frustrated when children misbehave, but responding with anger or resentment can escalate the situation and blur the line between discipline and revenge. Before addressing the issue, take a moment to breathe and collect your thoughts.
Example: If a child cannot follow instructions, a disciplined response would involve calmly explaining why their cooperation is necessary in working with the child to accomplish the goal. Conversely, a retaliatory response might involve shouting, name-calling, or resorting to physical punishment out of anger.
​Promoting Growth and Learning
Discipline should always aim to promote growth and learning. It involves guiding children toward making better choices and understanding the impact of their actions on themselves and others. Effective discipline strategies include positive reinforcement, setting clear expectations, and providing opportunities for reflection and growth.
Example: If a child repeatedly forgets to complete their chores, a disciplinary approach would involve discussing the importance of responsibility and finding solutions together, such as creating a chore chart or setting reminders with Siri or Alexa. In contrast, a revenge-driven response might involve imposing overly harsh punishments or belittling the child, which can undermine their self-esteem and hinder their ability to learn from their mistakes.

Building Trust and Communication
Trust and open communication are essential components of a healthy parent-child relationship. Discipline should strengthen this bond by fostering trust and encouraging children to confide in their parents without fear of judgment or retaliation. When children feel safe and supported, they're more likely to accept discipline as a form of guidance rather than punishment.
Example: If a child admits to breaking a rule or making a mistake, a disciplined response would involve listening to their perspective, discussing the consequences of their actions, and working together to find a solution. Conversely, a retaliatory response might involve accusations, blame, or shutting down communication, which can erode trust and damage the parent-child relationship.
Seeking Professional Guidance
Parenting is a learning journey, and, disciplining children is a delicate balance between guiding them toward responsible behavior and nurturing their growth. By understanding the intent behind our actions, maintaining emotional regulation, promoting growth and learning, building trust and communication, and seeking professional guidance when needed, as parents we can help our children built on love, respect, and understanding.
