I think most people would agree that pretty women get more attention... But that's where I think some people mistake that to mean that they have an easier time finding a good match. Finding a man is one thing... Finding a great partner is quite another... And I think great relationships don't happen over night... They take time and nurturing in order to grow and mature... That's why you so often meet someone you really like and only discover several weeks/months/years later that it's not working... Takes time to really get to know someone... Heck - it takes time to really get to know yourself!!

EXACTLY. And finding a compatible mate, I'm arguing, is not more statistically probable for attractive women, because the percentage of compatible mates for them should be the same as for non-attractive women (in theory).

BOY do I agree with you there!! And the WORST thing is that we all know this and all do it ourselves anyway!! And don't we all think we're the exception to this rule?!! (Because of course there are always exceptions...) Aren't we a funny bunch??!

So an obstacle for ugly women could be self-esteem, and an obstacle for beautiful women could be ego? Interesting... But on your first point, I'm arguing the complete opposite to what you are saying... I'm saying that more choice doesn't mean better options. So that would mean that statistically you are *not* more likely to find what you want even if you do have more choice. In any case, this is a theory, and since it's not possible to prove it, you can't say I'm "right" or "wrong" - just that you agree or disagree (or that you want to add something to consider)!

When you count the foreplay and the crying afterwards... It's 21.34 seconds... Not true... I cried for at least an hour!! "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

This topic has circulated a number of times and keeps rearing its ugly head every time a single gal talks about the difficulties of "finding the right guy"... So here is the myth: attractive girls can find a man without even batting an eyelash. Ok, that is obviously exaggerated, but you get the idea... Now, I'm sure that a beautiful woman probably *would* find more men interested in her, but ultimately, given each person is unique and has unique tastes, there should still be the same percentage of "suitable" soul-mates for attractive people as the uglies. The fact that an attractive person may have more suitors doesn't mean that those suitors are "suitable"... You know, it's a bit like having satellite TV... Sure, there are more options, but what good is having 350 channels of crap telly when all you want is a really good movie?!! So here is my theory... More choice does not equal more "Mr. Rights".

Building up a good credit score is like earning a good reputation... It takes time, and can be lost very quickly. There is no quick way to improve your score - especially if it's bad to start with. For very little you can get a breakdown of your score. This will tell you exactly what you are doing wrong and how you can improve. That's the best way to find out what you should be doing - not what a lot of random people *think* will affect your score. Experian or Equifax are reliable places to get your credit score. Take everything else with an appropriate dose of salt. And yes, if you are serious about knowing your *real* score (and what companies will see when they check your credit-worthiness), you will have to pay. Don't expect to get any reliable/worthwhile information for free - mind you a full breakdown is only about $10 if I remember correctly.

To be fair, I have an iMac, two iPods, and when you would have mentioned an Apple IIe I probably would have had bambi-eyes as well (though I would have thought it was probably in the Mac family...) Little thing that has made my day today - bought an album by Escala and accidentally discovered it had a track that someone had used in a video that I love, love, love

I voted again today - yours is the best pic by far

OMG - you *totally* should!! Your enthusiasm has rubbed off - even *I'm* excited you're getting a puppy!! Its funny, a girl says her something about 'Rubbing off' and no one thinks the wiser... Let a guy say that. That's because the comment was purely innocent, of course!

OMG - you *totally* should!! Your enthusiasm has rubbed off - even *I'm* excited you're getting a puppy!! Puppies are awesome. I can't wait for the weekend!! OH, and I forgot to mention something very important for potential naming purposes--she has a little kinked tail. It looks like a lightning bolt.

Whoa.. That's insane.. I'm so impressed at how cheerful they sounded!! I mean, that note: "We're well, in the shelter, all 33 of us." Amazing. Thank goodness the rescue efforts didn't stop.

Oh god - TOO CUTE!!! I can see why you'd put that one in your pocket instead of back in the box!! Let's see.. Names.. I quite like Killer, actually!! Alternatively, you could always call her "Bitch" - just think.. "Come on Bitch, let's go for a walk!"

Not sure.. Perhaps the problem here is that all three of the "musicians" are deaf??! Sure would explain a lot.. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

It would be insensitive of me to just say "cutaway"... But in all honesty based on the available information it seems the obvious solution. I know all too well how difficult it is to let go of someone you love, even when you are 100% sure the relationship is NOT working... In fact, I think you'll find lots of people on here have come out of unhealthy relationships feeling absolutely devastated that they've lost the person they love(d). The thing is, you owe it to yourself to be in a healthy, supportive, loving relationship. And this really doesn't sound like one. A good relationship should encourage you to grow - to be a better person. I'm sorry, but it sounds like she is dragging you down. Blaming any of this on her being bi-polar is really giving her an excuse to do whatever she wants, and she is not respecting you by having an "open relationship" because it's something you are not comfortable with. It would be ok if it were mutually ok with both of you, but it's clear you're not ok with it. She wants to keep you AND play the field, which is very, very selfish. From what you're saying, you are making all the compromises and she is doing whatever she wants. Do you really want to be with someone who places her own happiness above yours? Do you think it's ok that you support her in this way but she doesn't respect how you feel (ie: not going to therapy, for instance)? Relationships are a two-way street, mate. This one sounds like you're doing all the giving and she's doing all the taking. Sorry if that's harsh, but from what you've said this relationship seems to be very unhealthy and it's eating away at you. Don't underestimate how damaging that can be...

The shock-factor doesn't work. Most might, at most, say oh shit when we see someone get plowed over on World's Scariest Crashes or Most Shocking [event here] tv show. The drama added value to this video. I agree, except that in *some* parts it was a bit too much. I think the video is actually an amalgamation of many TV "drive safe" ads. Some are excellent; some a bit ott. But overall, I think it's pretty effective.

That and it's overly melodramatic - the accidents are bad enough for the shock-factor and they just go a little bit too far so that in some moments the drama overshadows the event.
