The affectionate stubbornness of those born in Taurus reflects the influence of the planet Venus.

In the ancient world, Venus was the god of beauty and love, and so Taurus sun signs are drawn to luxury, indulgence, and romance though they are usually also blessed with a strong sense of loyalty and a strong work ethic. The latter comes from the association of Taurus with the bull, but Venus’s pull is felt perhaps more strongly.

Stubbornness can be linked to flirtatiousness, of course, and to the desire to be wanted instead of giving in, so this quality is the result of both the bull and the goddess of love.
