Ooooh wait!!! Actually he is! He does some Shakespeare plays at the McCallum Theater here in Palm Desert!!!
Gosh! Maybe I should find out when he's playing and try to get a backstage pass and act all surprised and sh*t when I see hinm. I could pretend that I didn't know he did community theater!
That's my new plan, I'm all over it like flies on picnic sandwiches!!!
Twinkle, doesn't it ever occur to you your husband or friends/relatives may very well come across this forum and if this is your real location... and with this quite unusual hobby... 2+2 will be put together immediately.

If they were jaded because of one relationship, I'd tell them not all people are like that one that hurt them.
My new husband dated the most awful woman ever before me. She was evil beyond evil. He felt trapped for a long time before finally breaking free. He easily could have been jaded after that experience. Thankfully, he wasn't and the door was open for us to pursue a very happy life.
If it is one bad relationship after another, I'd ask that person how or where they are meeting their mates....maybe its time to dip into a different pool of people.
people who are jaded become so through repeated pain and disappointment. That is a tough project to take on. As a friend all you can do is reassure them that there are people out there who will treat them well. As a potential partner, you'd have to be willing to take on the challenge of proving that which entails not being trusted, paying for the mistakes of others and other behavior that can be taxing on you. Kudos to you if you are willing to do it.
All you people who have truly wonderful relationships with your SO.. Please help. How do you help a person -man or woman- who is jaded against the opposite gender?
How do you help them? What would be your best advice? Are they doomed to suffer? Are they just on their own? trapped? If a man is jaded against women what would your advice be? If a woman is jaded against men what would your advice be?
I had to really rack my brain on this one. But, I do not know of anyone who is jaded against the opposite sex. None of my friends, none of my coworkers, no one. Everyone seems to really like, pursue, and want someone of the opposite sex.
But, I guess, being the critical thinker that I am, I would first ask that person why/how did they become jaded in the first place. I would ask for specific examples and not some stupid hypothetical b.s. I think you solve problems by first analyzing what causes it in the first place.

I agree almost nobody sets out to be "jaded" just for the heck of it. It is a result of unpleasant experiences in older people. However, in my observations the younger ones seem to be quite cynical even without them.
I just cant imagine anyone becoming jaded in the opposite sex.....EVER. You would have to be not only unlucky at love, but also an extremely poor judge of character and be cynical, a quitter, a doofus and a fool all wrapped up into one unhappy Eyore type package.
There are just too many different personalities of people in the world to be "jaded" against half of them especially if you never even had a chance to meet and get to know them.

Maybe the younger ones have examples at home that cause them to think the worst, like an unfaithful parent? A lack of healthy relatonships? Its not unreasonable to think that a 23 year old may have already had a couple in high school and a couple more in college - enough to make them lose faith.
