Men of what zodiac signs will never make a woman happy. Taurus.

The Taurus man can be considered the emotional antipode of the stronger sex, who was born under the sign of Pisces. If the latter is overly active in terms of emotions, then Taurus is too distant. The behavior of a representative of this zodiac constellation is often very dry. Many people call him a snob, and usually for a reason. Another minus of Taurus, in connection with which a woman has little chance of becoming happy with him, is her unwillingness to change, and indeed the unwillingness to move when it would obviously not hurt. Many Taurus are overly focused on earning money, completely forgetting about spiritual values and paying very little attention to the inner world of their beloved woman. In addition, due to his nature, the man of this zodiac constellation very rarely compliments his chosen one. If, in order to win the attention of an interesting lady, a representative of this zodiac sign can still “fork out” for a couple of pleasant words, then after the start of living together, compliments become a real rarity. Often Taurus sins and adventures to the left. So, if the lady of such a man managed to achieve an official marriage, this does not mean that the marriage will last a long time, and the man will only be her intimate partner.
