Okay, an example of my situation: Me in a bar. Two girls. One is a bitch, but real eye candy. The other is everything I need in a girl. Guess who I choose?
My taste in women has an absolutely, positively, horrific track record. Bitch YES, nice girl NO. It seems the only good quality the women I tend to date have is in the eye candy department. Am I really this shallow? Apparently, yes. I have a real knack for putting myself through hell with the choices I make when it comes to dating. I treat these women like gold. I covet as if they are my queen. They shit on my head as if I'm their own personal toilet. This is entirely my fault. I put myself in those situations. But, I have no idea how to overcome my tendencies toward these terrible women.
On the flip side, while I've wasted my time on these she-devils, opportunity has knocked with some absolutely fabulous ladies. I become as terrible a person as the people I date. I don't call, I stand them up, I drive them away. I don't want to do this anymore. I hate myself for the wonderful women I have let pass me by. My problem is, I can't yet trust myself when it comes to dating. Every time I get out of a situation with one of these ladies, I tell myself: "That's it, no more. I have got to revise my taste in women". But, alas, I end up doing the exact same thing again the next time.
My question to you Dr. Know, Knower of all Knowers, is: What advice can you give me to maybe kick my ass into gear? Maybe a personal shocking device like the one worn by Jason Biggs in the movie "Saving Silverman". Every time I come close to getting involved with someone completely wrong for me, I get a shock that sends me into a convulsion so bad that I may actually stop making these choices. Whadaya think? Be mean, be cruel, I don't care. Cause that's what's funny and probably what I need.

Addicted to Bitches

Dear Addicted,

Bear with me for a minute here, I'm going to tell you a short tale.

Someone once dropped a quarter and noticing it on the ground decided to go back to pick it up. Yet when they get almost close enough to reach down and pick it up they start to walk around the quarter in circles. Confused by birds chirping or traffic going by they continually walk in circles trying to get closer to the quarter with every cycle. This never works. And to top it off they know all they have to do is stop circling the quarter and take a step closer to it. Even with this knowledge they still cannot seem to force themselves to stop circling.

I can hear it now, all over the world 'Dr. Know is cracking up, what the hell is he talking about?'.

What I just described may seem very odd and Addicted (if that's your real name), I am certain you would never get caught in such an exercise of futility. Unfortunately for you, the awful truth is you have. You have been walking around the quarter trying to figure out a way to get just a tad bit closer to pick it up. You're stuck walking around in circles because its fun. And that's really the only reason. Oh, and another small one - you need to take a look at you, I suspect you are still in high school with such a blasé attitude towards the fairer sex. Or you have been brought up in a completely sheltered environment. (hmmm…just who are you…)

I understand that only a very few people in this world know alot of stuff about stuff but you came to the right place. I will aid you in your quest to find the right mate. This advice, taken with some castor oil is a guarantee for true love.

Addicted you suffer from the same disease that millions of men and women suffer from. Wanting what they can't have. It starts when we are children and our brother/sister/friend is playing with a toy we just dropped out of boredom, all of a sudden we want it back, we're crying and whining to our mother. It's a fact we will always look out the window and see something else we want. We are suppose to be adults and be able to control this behaviour, but some of us are just spoiled little brats (read-Addicted to Bitches).

It's very obvious that women on the first sighting can be classified into these two groups, as you so succinctly put it a "Bitch" and a "Nice Girl". The reality is sometimes Bitches can be Nice Girls and sometimes Nice Girls can be Bitches. The first thing you need to understand is stop thinking that you are the only man in the world and every single women in existence should drop to her knees and start servicing you.

I have no idea where you live but it sounds like a pretty odd place, you say all the "Bitches" are eye-candy and all the "Nice Girls" are not. Where I come from there are many good looking "Nice Girls', many not so hot 'Bitches' and vice versa. Unless you live in some fairytale land, like Hollywood, where the 'fakeness' abounds women are not distributed geographically based on those two facts.

First - Start thinking about women as something more than just a piece of ass.
Second - Stop screwing around and ask yourself what you want in a woman.
Third - Have you considered same sex love? Sound like you have a problem with women; why not try out for the other team. I'm sure it will help you 'Find' yourself.
Fourth - And I can't stress this enough. TREAT THE NICE GIRLS NICE AND THE BITCHES LIKE BITCHES.

Follow this simple list and you should be on your way to a grand, fulfilling relationship in no time. You know your problem, you are a child. Change this and the universe will provide for you.

And finally Mr. Jason Biggs, after some subtle but obvious clues in your letter I've figured it out, stop sending in mail. This is the 30th letter this week, isn't it a bit much?

AND stop F^&kin' plugging your movies on this website.
