Woman's Mars in Gemini squaring Man's Venus in Virgo

Hello. I have been reading up on how woman's Mars on man's Venus works. But now I wish to get a bit more specific. The signs are as stated in the title and I hope to get some concrete examples of how this particular pairing plays out.

I will start: I remember my crush literally told me that I flirted too aggressively with him, which made me lol. So I guess this is a very typical way this placement plays out. Mars in Gemini is known for its verbal skills, and naturally I used words to connect with my crush. But his Venus in Virgo didn't really like my verbal-ness too much. Venus in Virgo likes simple, understated, subdued charm. It doesn't like bluntness or too much direct-ness, which are unfortunately something that Mars in Gemini has in spades.

Can you think of more ways Gemini Mars interacts with Virgo Venus?

I have both Mars in Gemini and Venus in Virgo, and what I like is for people to talk to me, straight and honestly. Most people's idea of flirting feels much too fake to me.

Everyone I've ever dated started by having genuine conversations with me. Or, in one case, writing me a letter, which essentially was a love letter, but there was nothing fake about it. How he felt about me was included, but also a lot of straight talk, ending with, "I would like to get to know you better, if you're interested, here's my phone number." (This was back in the day when the way to reach someone was to call them on their landline. Texting didn't exist, email wasn't as big a thing as it is now, and there were no chat apps.)

My Venus in Virgo isn't about simple, understated, subdued charm. It's about being genuine. If someone really likes me, romantically, and says so honestly along with having real conversations, I'll probably like back. If they get all fake flirty, and don't talk to me in a genuine way, I probably won't.

Interesting, Osa.

I too also like straightforwardness in communication. To me, flirting seems to be a dance, a weird little ritual that some people insist must happen in order to establish a romantic relationship. It just seems silly. A waste of time. If I like someone, I won't waste time flirting with him. I will say to his face that I like him that way. But I have been shot down before, so in a sense I can see the value of flirting. It allows one to communicate one's interest to the other person without being too forward about it. If the other isn't interested, they won't have to be too direct in rejecting you. It won't be too awkward afterwards.

My Venus is in Leo. And Mars is my rising planet as well as the cutting planet of my bowl chart. So I guess it gives me some Aries-like qualities.

Gemini Mars women - Virgo Venus men couples have more conflicts than usual, because the women wants a man that can talk to her a lot, so that they can both gain knowledge, but the man wants a woman who cares for their household, and not other things that are outside of their control. Virgo Venus men also don't like woman with too much makeup, as my father is one, and he doesn't like my mother when painting her eyebrows, as they're not natural to him. But vice versa, it is a little more dangerous, because the male fights more openly, and the wife is timid and feminine, so she can be prone to domestic abuse if the Gemini Mars male is not evolved.
