So SourD...is bi-polar a prerequisite to being one of your girlfriends??You said you can spot "them" a mile away...sounds to me like that's what you want?...You're not doing this women any favors by using her..just because she's bipolar doesn't mean she's a bad person...maybe if she met the right man, he would take the time to get her stabalized on her meds...and she would be everthing he's ever wanted....

My experience with one who didn't like to take her medication was bad.

My brother's 5-year ongoing experience with one who takes her medication religiously is good.

First of all, what you are describing is not bi-polar in the least. It's personality, driven by external factor, which. of course, can be attributed to many things in one's life. Bi-polar is a very real internal physical problem.

I am going to agree with your bolded statement. If you are constantly attracting or being attracted to the same type of woman over and over as you say, ask yourself - what's the common denominator? That, of course, would be you. For whatever reason, good or bad, you are attracted to a certain 'type' of person, or your selection criterea is flawed somewhere.

Most people do find attraction with a specific 'type' of person. I remember my own brother dating these girls in high school and you'd swear they all looked alike. My fathr, too, has been married three times and two and three were the same size and shape and same color of hair - just all around similar. My aunt and I were talking about it one time and discovered my uncles actually were attracted to the same type of person as my brother and father - all of them looked alike and acted the same way.

I'd say you need to simply step back and look for the common link between all of them and your need to select these types of women. But, please, stop referring them as bi-polar.

It sounds like the OP has been traumatized by past relationship and may need help him self...but that is just my thought.

If someone needs has to take pills to be "normal" RUN!!!!

Pills only create othere problems and their brain can't settle on any decision they make, they play the victim.

Stop getting involved with hot crazy chicks. That's my advice.
You're probably right about this. Thanks for the insight....

Pure speculation and I really must run off now. Cheers!
Way off base here. Maybe I attract them because I'm outgoing and fun and exude reckless behavior at times.
