A.   26 May 2020: I'm going to be frank with you, I think some of this is your fault. Not his behavior, but waiting so long and hoping it would change without taking some kind of action. I don't mean divorce, but some kind of therapy or something to get dialogue ... (read in full...)

What's atttactive? And how do you cope if you feel unattractive all the time?

Q.   I know this probably gets to be an old topic on here, but I'm going to talk about it, anyhow. It's about not liking the way I look. (I know, eye roll). The thing that makes my situation unusual is, it's not that I don't have attractive features. I ...

A.   19 April 2013: I am not a woman and I hope some helpful ones can answer this for you. I will give you my 2 cents though. I saw just a few days ago a story on perception of looks. Something you understand as you stated. But a persons attitude and the way they feel ... (read in full...)

Should I stay with my current boyfriend or return to my playboy ex?

A.   31 July 2011: Women are like apes swinging through a jungle. They never let one vine go before grabbing another. Quite simply she doesnt have another guy yet and is still trying to loosely hold onto you. You are her backup guy. Don't be that. Tell her your moving ... (read in full...)
