Ain't nobody got time for that.
Fighting with someone is already a hefty task. Arguing over text is just overwhelming. I mean can you really even dispute through a text message?

Imagine starting an argument and then having to wait an unknown period of time to receive an answer. An argument by text that could’ve potentially ended in less than 20 minutes continues for hours on end.
Not only does the argument drag on, but you find yourself rereading the messages for clarity. You want to make sure the communication is clear and you aren’t misinterpreting what the other person is saying.
Their overuse of emojis or lack thereof keep you confused.
You can’t tell how angry they are because you can’t hear their tone or read their body language, a luxury you receive when talking to someone in person. It gets worse.
Messages come out long and out of order, and words are misspelled and abbreviated. Whew. Aren’t you exhausted just thinking about it? According to astrology, a person’s zodiac sign can be used to determine how they will respond in certain situations.
Some horoscope signs such as Virgos and Libras actually enjoy arguing through text. It allows them to formulate their responses in advance, allows them to get out how they feel without being interrupted, and allows them to have receipts of the argument to reference in the future.

While these are all valid reasons for preferring to argue through text rather than in person, this strategy just won’t work for everyone. Some people need to be able to see facial expressions, to hear tones, and to feel emotion.
They not only need genuine and open conversation, but they respect it. You can only fully get that experience from arguing in person. Listed below are the zodiac signs who wouldn’t dare have an argument through text, even if the argument was initiated by someone else.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
The Ram. Aries love competition. They strive to be the first and the best at everything. This includes arguing. Text messaging doesn’t help them achieve this goal. Since Aries want to be first, they are usually very busy, working on achieving a goal.
They don’t have time to stop and reply to long messages while trying to be productive. It will annoy them that instead of the other person chose to spend time arguing through text when they could have been using their talents, as an Aries would.
It doesn’t make sense to them. Per astrology, enter communication easily, and like to take a direct and honest approach. This can’t happen through text. Hiding behind a screen is the exact opposite of direct and honest.
An Aries will not be able to clearly and concisely get their response across in an argument over text and this will just irritate them more. Their ability to think quickly on their feet and abundance of energy allow them to be one step ahead of others.
They can use this to their advantage when arguing in person since the other party has no time to prepare their responses. Texting would just take away their ability to use their strengths to win the argument. An Aries will not have this.
2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is an Earth sign, who has the ability to be the voice of reason in any situation. Because of this, a Taurus is a great person to calm down an argument. Arguments are typically overfilled with emotion that tends to cloud people’s judgement.
A Taurus can use their strengths of patience and touch to control the flow of the conversation. Touch can be used to put a person at ease. In the case of an argument, touch can be used to express genuine concern for the other party and to show that there is no tension.
When arguing through text, a Taurus has little to no control over how the other party views the situation at hand. Over text, there is no such thing as physical interaction, and a person can sulk in that negative energy for as long as they please.
A Taurus also values conversations filled with genuine statements. When texting, the responses received are not genuine as they are not on the spot like when you talk to someone in person. The responses have been filtered.
The other party has the chance to think about their answer for as long as they wish before pressing send. They can have their initial response all typed out, choose to reread it before sending, and then decide to delete it and type something else. A Taurus cannot respect this approach.
3. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
The sign Gemini is ruled by Mercury, a planet representing communication. Gemini’s are happiest when they get to share ideas with people. Even in an argument, they appreciate being able to hear someone else’s point of view and have the opportunity to agree or disagree with what is being said.
Engaging in conversation through text is no efficient for Gemini’s. Their tone can be misconstrued, and they don’t have time to type and read long messages. They would much rather just call or speak in person.
If Gemini’s don’t sense a clear flow of words when exchanging information with someone, they will become annoyed and give up on the conversation altogether. Text messages don’t have a clear flow of words.
There are usually no complete sentences, no punctuation, and if you don’t have an iPhone the messages are received out of order. This makes the argument pointless because instead of effectively getting their point across and coming to a consensus, they spend time trying to decipher the other person’s message. It’s too much for a Gemini to deal with.
4. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
An Aquarius enjoys being mentally stimulated. If they aren’t being challenged, then they become bored and will lose interest in coming up with a solution to the problem. This is how an Aquarius feels when arguing through text.
To them, you can’t thoroughly argue something through a few messages. It is because of this that they see no point in going back and forth with someone when it requires no real brain power from them.
Even if it doesn’t always seem like it, openness and communication are important to an Aquarius. Though they have a hard time expressing their emotions and are seen as being cold and distant, an Aquarius tries hard to change this perception.
They acknowledge that texting would make it hard for their true emotions to show, so they avoid texting as much as possible. Especially when the topic is negative… which most arguments are.
Their good listening skills and natural ability to be unbiased aren’t shown through text. They know they will come off as not caring even if they truly do. To avoid confusion an Aquarius just prefers to talk it out in person.
