    I suppose it depends on how drastic the mood swings are. If one day she is super cool and the next day chasing you around with a knife, that could damage the relationship. Men like to see women be vulnerable sometimes though. Feeling needed every once in a while makes us guys feel good about the relationship. If my SO doesn't "need" anything from me, ever, I begin to question my value to her in the relationship (I'm talking mostly about emotional needs). I like hearing about a bad day or arguments you had, etc.

    That was a very good movie by the way.

    Married one, 13 years now, 2 kids. I've always dated smart women. Can't stand shallow types. Oh, and don't just watch Hollywood romantic comedies, it'll rot your brain.
