It sounds like you've got some issues of your own. You're attracted to "bipolars" who are in their upward swing, (because it matches YOUR mental state), then can't handle the spikes and lows. Maybe it's YOU who needs to get some help, so that you are more attracted to more "even keeled" personalities.
As a few others have pointed out, using someone with a mental illness, for your own personal satisfaction is sick.
I said nothing of using a person with mental illness, do you have a problem?
I’m not attracted to Bipolars, (I have Asperger’s syndrome), what was being described, to me seemed to be an average person, almost everyone seems to have these traits, if not worse. What most class as expressing emotion, is to me, multiple personalities, and totally irrational. Also what was being described of past relationships, seemed to be quite normal, in as far as a relationship breaking down.
The concern, was that she was, being honest!

Sorry Beclazone, I quoted you because it concerned me too. That wasn't directed to you....sorry if it sounded like I was directing that to you! LOL
1. I fully understand the condition. I can spot it a mile away
2. I'm not condemning her for anything at this point, just working on experience. I know all people are different. That's why I am a bit confused.
Really?
I'm Bipolar, and would love to know how you can "spot it a mile away" when a bipolar person is stabilized on their meds and doing fine in the world, as most of us are about 95% of the time.
Or did you mean to say you can only spot Bipolar behavior when it is manifesting itself due to non- or insufficient medication?
Oh...but wait: you said when you met a BP woman it would be great for a while, before she got crazy. So that means she was stable and medicated when you first met.
So, please be so kind as to Enlighten me as to what traits, signs, appearances, or personality quirks us Bipolars have when we are leading normal lives and are properly medicated.
I have several relatives (by marriage) who are bi-polar and it is very sad to see the self destruction. I am confused because you do not mention what you see that makes you think she is bi-polar other than 'she said so'. My experience has been they all self medicate with either alcohol or drugs. My SIL has it so bad that she got SSI on the first try which is unheard of even for ppl who have a serious illness such as MS.
I have to agree if you use this person just for sex then you should not be surprised at what happens when things go wrong
Basically in my case she would get depressed, start dropping loose change on the floor; so when there was like $200 in pennies and dimes, you knew you were in for a bad night---plus she refused to take her meds all the time, then got abusive, said things to taunt me, like "all men are pigs", would send links of songs of women who hated men saying all men were pigs, then a week later say it was a joke, meanwhile on the phone she was yelling at me about all men being pigs. Then the next call she's manic, then the next one she's crying.
i have dated some in the past and it always turned out the same. They are awesome at first, have such a great outgoing attitude, funny, cute and very sexual. All traits i adore, but after a while they turn into my worst nightmare. They become elusive, abusive and cheat. They also always seem to be the most professional manipulators and liars. The reason i am writing this post is because i recently met another one of those types. She's stunningly beautiful but she scares the cr@p out of me. She knows how to talk things up and give me high hopes, but i don't think i can trust her as far as i can throw her at this point. She tells me things about how she has had only abusive relationships and now she is ready for a simpler more "normal" life, which i know i can give to her if she is accepting to it since i have a career and own a home, which she says is what she wants. I just have this gut feeling that is eating my stomach alive, that what she says is just too good to be true. I am basing that on my past experiences with the same types of women, i do know, that just maybe she is being sincere. Sometimes i think i'm the crazy one because i seem to attract these types and fall for them for the excitement they bring, but that has always been in the short term. So what to do, run run run or wait and see how things work out? Most advice i see is to run as far away as possible, but i am really attracted to her. Thanks for any advice.

I'm waiting.
Good luck to you, and I wish you all the best with your condition. My daughter, too, is bi-polar. Before she was diagnosed (at age 19) she went through hell, and so did we. It took a long time and many different doctors to get her properly diagnosed and to find the correct stabilizing medication. She's not quite 100 percent functional, yet, but the difference is like night and day. She still lives at home, and she is diligent about taking her meds (we - her dad and I - would see to it if she weren't). For the most part, she's as normal as anyone. She IS normal - she just has an illness which she will have to take meds for diligently the rest of her life.
