    One reason not so many Men here is the tone of this section can get a little banal and meaningless with this sort of stuff - "dont worry, hun, you go tell em babes, feeling for ya darl".

    I prefer honest logical discussion that seeks to help people, really help them, not just shower them with hugs.

    The problem is when you want to be honest in a Simon Cowell manner, people get upset when in fact they should welcome the fresh breeze of honesty.

    I've tried to get to a deeper level here, trying to tease out why certain people attract bad outcomes, but people end up feeling ridiculed. Without a really incisive in depth deep analysis people will never get out of debt.

    So in the meantime, se ya, hun, big XXXXXXXXs,

    now where's that banal meaningless celeb mag I was reading

    I think you are right Dave [now every one tell me I've got it wrong!] as far as DFW's go - women are generally better at DFW - it's what I would deem a multi-tasking project.
    I'm of the male variety & on Saturday I shall be drinking beer, eating crisps & watching Wales beat Ireland in the 6 Nations rugby all at the same time. That sounds like pretty good multi - tasking to me!

    Hi Conrad

    Have you never heard of PIN - positive interesting negative

    if you hit a negative head on 99% of the time you get zero responce with none of your message even heard let alone understood. Try working it out yourself, I'm not a sympathy person iether, i'm an empathy person but I still were posible follow PIN

    Sometimes just talking helps and if it help some one to say hugs and kisses then so be it
