Exactly slut07 (I hate calling you that but it makes me laugh) - it takes two to decide to get married and two to keep a marriage working.

But it only takes one to get a divorce. And on the average, it's not usually the man that initiates a divorce.

So don't be so hard on us divorced guys. =P

That's a poor assumption to make. Women are more likely to cheat in a marriage than men are. Being divorced doesn't mean a guy is probably bad. O_o

1 Decade, 40 Times More Bipolar Kids

Child Bipolar Explosion -- or Rampant Misdiagnosis?

Sept. 4, 2007 -- Today's children and teens are 40 times more likely to have bipolar disorder than were the children of 10 years ago.

That's 20 times faster than the growth in diagnoses of adult bipolar disorder over the same decade. Are we only now discovering a huge reservoir of untreated psychiatric illness? Or is there an epidemic not of disease, but of misdiagnosis and overtreatment?

The study that provides this alarming data doesn't answer this crucial question, says study researcher Mark Olfson, MD, MPH, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and New York State Psychiatric Institute.

"We found a striking national increase in the treatment of young people for bipolar disorder: from 20,000 youths in 1994 to 800,000 youths in 2003," Olfson tells WebMD. "The study does not tell us why so many more kids are being diagnosed and treated for bipolar disorder. But it gives us clues."

As a general rule, wait until you are comfortable and happy being single again before you start looking to date.

Thread deletion is so... wacky here. Some threads are completely offensive and violate the stated rules and nothing happens to them. Some threads get deleted for no real obvious reason and with no rule having been broken.

Not so much censorship as senselessness.

291 connects to Hwy. 91.

I always thought science/paganism/new age/philosophy/religion all addressed the same thing and were inter-related as well. Why not just try to get along with each other?

I haven't really looked into that forum though - is it that bad in there?

Hi damsel and welcome.

I KNEW there was a secret to life. Thanks for sharing Chele!

My apologies for offending people with a joke.

There fixed it for you.

To be fair, this question isn't quite the same as the 'what women want' question... is it?

Libertarian. Haven't decided on how to vote yet.

Gotta get some street cred yo. That's all ya need. That an a little bling.

Worked for me... well actually it didn't. ><

"Exposing wounds to iodine, alcohol, peroxide, and pure salt is no more effective than water irrigation at preventing infection and can potentially damage tissues."

Who knew.

I've heard regular tap-water (that is treated) is usually your best bet for what you'll have at home if no topical anti-biotic is available. Not to say I know better than anyone else, but is it really a good idea to put any type of non-sterilized herb/substance into a wound?

I'm not sure that type of herb is going to help your cut... but it will make you feel better.

Hiring a babysitter would get expensive whenever you went to work. O_o

So run with your alcoholic analogy - what problem are you admitting to? Or do you think it's not your problem at all and it is instead that every woman in the world has a problem?

If you go back and read your responses, are they positive responses? Accepting responses? Constructive responses? Negative responses? Cynical responses?

Those responses show your general view of women and dating and in themselves should give you some insight that there might be a correlation between your attitude and your situation with dating and women.

There is a disconnect between the way you say you are, the way people are perceiving you, what you say you want, what you are getting and where you are putting the blame.

To sum it up, don't try to blame women, the world, society, etc. for your dating problems. The why and blame doesn't matter. It will just leave you feeling even more cynical, angry, and alone and make your problems worse. All you can do is change your attitude about dating and women, think positively, present yourself positively, and let yourself fulfill your own positive prophecies instead of the negative ones. You will at least have a chance to get what you want then.
