So, three girlfriends, and they have Sept, Oct and Nov. birthdays respectively.

My bday is in April, which is the other half of the year away.

Is there a connection between romance and opposite-ends-of-the-calendar birthdays?

A girl-friend of mine here says that all four of her boyfriends have had their birthdays in July-September, which is the opposite part of the year from her Feb. birthday.

If you have an experience which supports this theory, please post it. If you have an experience which falsifies this theory, please don't post in this thread. (j/k)

No, there's no connection whatsoever. Unless you believe in Santa Claus, demons and angels, the Easter Bunny and horoscopes.

[macintologist]

Well I believe in all of those and that's my prerogative is it not?

Three girlfriends all with names beginning with A.

Am I working my way throught the alphabet, albeit slowly?

I've been with a number of girls with an S name (and even a C with an S sound), so I'd be more likely to believe in that than birth month.

Maco, you can believe what you want. Of course, there are people who believe the Earth is flat, that the lunar landings were faked, that Windows is superior to OS X and that Angelina Jolie is a dog. Believing in something isn't the same as knowing something.

Come up with a valid sampling rate (I'd say about 3-4 million people) and we can talk. Until then, I'd say your hypothesis is highly doubtful at best.

/Congrats on the 3 girlfriends though. How do you manage?

[Randman]

He waited for the school listing of birthdays then hit up on all the chicks with b-days in the Sept-Nov range.

hmm, my wife's birthday is six months from mine.

[ghporter]

My birthday is in Apri, and my wife's is in September (on the same day of the month as mine!), and we have never been particularly aware of any distinct positives or negatives related to that arrangement. I'm an Aires and she's a Virgo (which is supposed to be very bad ju-ju if you believe in that stuff), and we've been married for over 25 years, so at least we can debunk that paying that much attention to your partners astrological sign is universally effective (though it IS universilly!).

[Eriamjh]

Not according to the Chinese calendar. 4 months is ideal to them.

Otherwise, it has no bearing. How could it?

I have a similar observation. I've noticed that every single girlfriend of mine has had at least two of the following traits. Some have had as many as 3 and only one of them had only 1 of them.

1) They are named Elaine or Elena or Alana, Illana or some other variant.
2) They have nose rings. (just those small little stud things you can barely see)
3) They are at least half Jewish.
4) They are vegetarians.

I'm not at all attracted to any of these traits on their own. In fact, except for the first, I'd consider them all to be slight turnoffs.

No Easter Bunny? Says who?

Proof -->

[davesimondotcom]

My wife was born six months and 4 days after me.

[ShotgunEd]

in terms of birthdays, the past three girlfriends have been 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 weeks away from my birthday.

seven days between me and my love

8 days between me and my ex. Maybe this is why it didn't work out

4 months between me and the new girl. I'll keep you up to date about the developments and if they support the theory

No.

There's only one if you WANT there to be one.

Pre-judging someone based on their birthdate is ridiculous, and up there with stupid superstitions like lucky/unlucky numbers.

Life is what you make of it. You'll fail, you'll succeed. It has nothing to do with birthdays. That much I know. Every girl I have had feelings for has had a birthday from six months to a week from me. I don't really see a pattern. Nor does their name begin with any particular letter.

My ex girlfriend's birthday was two days before mine. Is that why she's an ex?

[nonhuman]

I'm gonna say no. Of my girlfriends, the ones that things went best with actually had birthdays just a few days away from mine. One even had the same birthday.

I've also found that just having similar birthdays (when it randomly comes up in casual conversation) really opens the door for more personal topics which allows you to move on to 'other things'.

[teney7]

Yes. It totally matters. If you disregard this charactersitic of paramount importance, you will suffer forever.
