you skipped right over my question about how & why do you find the time to share your life online with us mere mortals here when you’ve apparently got 2 or 3 (the third “if you can fit her in”) women you’re currently juggling and other offers coming in rapid fire? also, as I’m a little late to the game & would like to be brought up to speed here, I’ve got a few more questions. (they’re tasteful questions. if you haven’t shared this info i can’t think of why you wouldn’t)- what’s the average amount of dates you go on with these women? what’s the age range of these women? what would you rate these women on the average, looks-wise, on a 1-10 scale? what do you consider yourself on the same scale? what percentage of these women you do you sleep with? ---

My primary care doctor went out of his way to save my life after the specialists gave up and he is the one I trust and listen to. Bullshit. The doctors didn’t almost kill you, you did it to yourself because you’re a dumbass. THEY didn’t make the decision to drink while on medication, after being explicitly told not to – you did that. They didn’t force that booze down your throat, you did. ---

The medications doctors were prescribing were the very ones that were driving me out of my mind and then landed me in ICU with a prediction of death within hours but that didn’t happen because I am stubborn and wouldn’t let that happen. I have better things to do. OK, assuming these “doctors” were psychiatrists, they would have prescribed a dosage, then monitored how it affected you. If what **bobkitty** says is true, you were drinking heavily and overmedicating yourself. My roommate did that, and he’s been in rehab for the past year. This isn’t something you blame on the doctors. I’m certainly not qualified to diagnose mental disorders, but you do act like my bipolar neighbor when he’s been drinking, with the way you obsess on the same details repeatedly. It’s like you’re trying to convince yourself what you say is true. ---

> [@Ludovic](#): > > None. Even if proven, it could very well mean that the person has decided to back up this story loudly whilst trying to quietly ignore other bits that are blatant falsehoods, and conversely, refusal to provide a receipt _from an otherwise generally believable person_ also says nothing about the falsehood of their other claims. > > But the “$75 is an expensive date!” is pretty fucking hilarious. I’m not even technically upper middle class but I barely blink at spending that much on myself on a good weekend’s entertainment, much less two people. For a globetrotting power consultant it should feel like deprivation. This part gets me laughing every time it comes up. $75 for a date? I took my friend out to a midrange sushi joint the other night, it was $86 with tip for the two of us. I’m in grad school and I have kids, so I don’t do that sort of minor splurge very often, but when I had a job it wasn’t uncommon for me to go out twice a week and $35-40 is a pretty typical bill for one person for dinner, drinks, and tip at a neighborhood hangout kind of place. $200 is a typical “date night” budget for my fiance and I. I am totally ready to believe that this guy is a character created by a brilliant online performance artist; the things he “brags” about are so very 😕. It’s kind of like a kid’s idea of what would impress grown-ups, so much so that I’d think he was a kid if he hadn’t been here for 18 freaking years. ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > No. You wrote previously that you had engaged in light petting which you defined as touching over a bra.

There is no difference in perspective. Either you lied then, which you have now admitted, or you backtrack that admission and confirm that you are lying now. Kissing without consent is also sexual assault, just so we’re totally clear. He has admitted to conspiring to and then carrying out a premeditated sexual assault. The fact that he was underage is irrelevant; in most state sexual assault committed by minors is eligible to be tried in adult courts. ---

I don’t want to end up with two girlfriends at the same time but I am setting myself up for it. I know this can’t end well but I just can’t resist. Is this one also a racist? ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Checks all the boxes. > > How does being bipolar fit in? Or is that some sort of fabrication from the past? Bipolar disorder can certainly coexist with personality disorders, and wild exaggeration/overestimation of exploits is common during manic phases, but you would also expect to see the inverse – often to a dangerous degree – during depressive episodes. During the downcycle after a manic episode, reality sets in (for the otherwise mentally healthy person with bipolar) and they will then not only recognize and be embarrassed by their behavior while manic, they also often experience profound remorse, regret, and self-castigation. It’s a terrible disease, two of my closest friends have it and it’s made it so much harder to be successful in their careers and romantic lives, despite being brilliant, kind, and creative. I’m not saying he doesn’t have bipolar disorder, nor that he does have NPD. I’m just saying that his posting pattern here isn’t consistent with bipolar disorder, because there is no indication of cycling into depression. At the same time, it is consistent with NPD with a pathological lying component. /armchair Disclaimer: I’m not a psychologist, I’m just a neurobiologist with a BS in psych, my speculations have all the value of the paper they’re printed on. ---

> [@bobkitty](#): > > Pretty close to this. According to his own story, the docs gave him benzos for the bipolar disorder, and he kept drinking AMA. Mixing the two is pretty popular with folks who have bipolar disorder, partly due to the self-medicating tendencies but also because alcohol enhances the effect of benzos; however, it’s _very_ contraindicated. Into the hospital he went. There was a prayer vigil in his town and everything. Yeah? For or against? ---

It just seems a little strange that someone who has been here but a few weeks wants to participate in the pitting of a long time poster. That sort of looks like a grudge or an agenda.
