Women! This quiz is for you.
Do all your friends tell you that you treat guys like crap, but you think you just know how you deserve to be treated, which is like a minor deity? Do you walk into a bar and say, “Ew, everyone here is terrible” more than three times a week?
Conversely, do you frequently find yourself planning your wedding to a man you just met yesterday? Do you usually find yourself holding on to a relationship after the guy is long gone and possibly even is married to the girl he dated after you? And has a baby?
If either of the above resonates with you, this handy dandy quiz may help you see if you’re coming off too cold, too hot, or just right, Goldilocks.

Picture the scene.
An attractive woman arrives at a restaurant ready to meet a blind date. Stepping into the candlelit room she is greeted with a smile and little quip that puts her at ease. It’s baking hot outside, but cool where they sit. Her date feeds her morsels while smoothly ordering champagne. She laughs till her sides ache then they kiss.

The news of Robin Williams’s suicide broke my heart into a million pieces. I have always been and will always be such a fan of his. Mork and Mindy is one of my all time favorite shows. His stand up always cracked me up, and I loved him as Genie in Aladdin. Losing him is tragic on so many fronts. One of the few silver linings of this tragedy is that it’s raising the profile of depression awareness. Celebrities, organizations and individuals are coming out with words of encouragement and personal stories. It’s really heartening to witness. Depression is a very serious disease that’s very common, which is important for us all to know. Equally as important to know--depression is treatable. It’s not a death sentence at all. With the right support and treatment, people living with depression can lead very rich and very happy lives. But, of course, support and treatment are key to making that happen. So, I thought I’d offer some advice to people who are in relationships with depressed partners.

Be prepared, because what I'm about to share with you is going to shock you, and may make you unplug your Hitachi Magic Wand for good.
The other day, a woman sent me an angry email, saying something like this:
"David, guys like you suck. I've had sex for 10 years and have had a hard time reaching orgasm. I've only been able to get there maybe a few times in my life, and that's about it. Some women are just built this way, and that's okay."

Reader Susan who is a fan of my Patti Knows column writes:
I wanted to ask you about a past "relationship" that I am still not over. He was the first guy I've experienced chemistry with. We dated for 2 months and he's the type that is always looking for "the one" or someone "better." Things ended because he didn't get that "feeling" he's seeking. He became involved with another girl, but I still always find myself trying to get back in touch with him, hoping they have broken up.
