Hi. I find it very easy, indeed just automatic, to like and love people. This is probably because I am what psychologists call a 'Feeler' as opposed to a Thinker or Senser.

Whether the woman is online, or in the "Real World", they ALL rebuke my love. This being either romantic/sexual love or deep platonic (non-sexual) love.

Yet women often complain that men only want the one thing or that there are no good men left.

Lots of women do want my friendship. Also, a fair number, from teenagers to mature ladies, want my body. Every time I go out, whether it is to a bar or simply the supermarket, I get "the eye". Indeed, I have often been sexually advanced with too. Even things like being groped in public places.

No doubt some of you will look at my profile photo and have to make a cruel remark. I doubt most of you will look that young when you're 50! And, I maybe middle-aged, but my physique can best be described as being like Tarzan's.

Anyway, I am not interested in the physical. That is superficial. I just wish someone could please explain why, as soon as I show affection or any other intimacy, they immediately dump me. No more emails, texts, whatever. Total silence. They just want me for regular friendship or sex, not love.

Today I made only one New Year Resolution, it being never to allow myself to fall in love again. I just cannot take the heartbreak anymore. I'm done!

Thanking any kind soul who will answer this please.

Hi folks, I live in the UK and a few days ago, for just that day, had the new format. Now it's returned to the original. Presently my only access to this forum is through a mobile device.

Is this the same for all British mobile users?

And now today I cannot get into My Activity Report; which I found very useful.

Does anyone know what has happened, please?

Lastly, does anyone know why Yahoo! Answers won't fix their Choosing a Best Answer via an iPod, mobile or smartphone? I am confident this is why we seem to receiving fewer "thank yous" now, rather than more rudeness. Just by chance I discovered a workaround.

Thanks in anticipation....

Hi, I honestly do not think this is sour grapes nor paranoia. I believe there is a "Top Contributor" on here, who maybe follows me and then votes himself as the Best Answer.

This seems to happen when obviously the Asker hasn't chosen and usually when it's just the two of us who've answered.

This individual has a very high score and yet his answers are rarely better than mine. Unfortunately his activity is private, so I cannot fully monitor him. He can also be quite obnoxious to questioners.

Has anyone else noticed this happen to them?

How do I report this individual?

And how do I suggest to Yahoo! to not allow just one vote?

Thanks.

Hardly any "real-life" people have made me happy. So many have actually disappointed or hurt me.

Some readers will probably blame me, but I truely believe you wouldn't if you knew about all of my past.

Anyways, that isn't the question. Online I have scores of friendly, interesting and stimulating (mentally and physically!) contacts, and from all over the World. So much so that these days I feel no incentive to look outside home for friends or lovers. As I can be very sure, in terms of statistical probability, that I won't find like on the Internet.

Am I alone in thinking this way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, those that understand the money markets advise buy gold or silver. Indeed, whole governments are doing so, for example China, Russia and even Iran. For they reckon the London and New York stock markets are to again crash!

Therefore, how does an "ordinary" guy like me get some metal?

Thanks for any answers.

I was brought up to be polite! Every time I choose the Best Answer, and leave feedback, the system keeps saying rate the answer. Yet I do!

For all my questions I have tried several times, but with no good result.

My only access to Yahoo! Answers is via mobile (cellular) phone. Soon I hope to have a decent desktop/laptop connection, but being in an obscure part of Scotland the reception is not reliable.

How does one successfully choose the BA using a mobile?

You've guessed it! If there's no "thankyou" then my apologies in advance.

Thanks.

Hi folks, I can get into my account via the reset link sent by Twitter's technical support.

However, if I log-out (returning back to that email), but then try logging-in the usual way, I cannot get back in. The only error message being re-try my password.

I've got Twitter withdrawal symptoms and am suffering "cold turkey". Plus I have my followers left with no-one to follow! Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello folks. My ex-girlfriend is now at last stabilised by anti-depressants. Although not yet officially diagnosed (long story!) I am very confident she has severe Borderline Personality Disorder.

And in just over three weeks she attempted suicide 3 times! The first time as a result of emotional abuse by a woman who's supposed to help her (very long story!); the second maybe because she felt "suffocated" by my intense love; and the third I think was actually just a gesture. Yes, she said she couldn't cope with all my love and care for her.

Anyways this question is not about me but what advice I should give to her family (especially her mother).

It seems obvious to me, now that she is stable, that she's drawn a solid line between her past and now. And that can be good, but it has left, IMO, at least two negative outcomes...

The first being she has ignored any attempts (professional too) by anyone bar one (more below) to help her overcome her daily binge drinking, soft drug-taking, OCD, and bouts of Anorexia and fasting. Also she is a 'NEET'

(Not in Employment, Education or Training). Admittedly, in time she may gradually sort herself out with these.

However, she has kind of "run away" with her once platonic best friend. With respect to him, they only have his shop job income and he is not qualified in Mental Health care. And just over a week later they became engaged! It does sound like "on the rebound" to me, but I have already "moved on".

Yet all her other friends, and more importantly family, she has completely blanked out. And her mother especially is now very close to having a complete mental breakdown.

Therefore please, do I advise the mother to accept her daughter has a new life now where she isn't a part of it, or let her continue hoping? Whichever answer will very much hurt her.

My grateful thanks.

Hello folks, my new girlfriend suffers a multitude of mental health ailments. Yet she's not been officially assessed yet for some reason.

Although I am not qualified in Mental Health, I know enough to have made the following judgements about her :-

- BPD (Borderline Personality)

- OCD (Obssessional-Compulsive)

- BDD (Body Dismorphic)

- ANa (Anorexic Nervosa)

- SAD (Seasonal Affective)

- Depression (recently)

- 2 x Suicide attempts!

Yes, quite a list, but I love her. I've no choice!

The ANa is a daily obsession but very rarely entails severe fasting. The SAD is daily. The full Depression is recent, but I am unsure if it's acute (minor) or chronic (major).

The Depression seems to hit her hard every few days. And when it does she also displays much BDD.

I am very sure she is *not* Bi-polar or Cyclothemic, as when in a good mood (most mornings) she is not manic, just a typical full of life young woman.

She's very recently been prescribed Anti-Depressants.

My question is, why are these lows cyclic? I thought General Depression is a constant low.

Thanks in advance.
