 	The Darling syndrome is a life destroying disorder.
That effects one out of every three female anime
characters and is spreading to the real world with
devastating effects. It starts with a crush on a guy,
a normal guy. Then escalates into a spiral of
obsession and destruction that can ruin the life of
the both the victim and her 'Darling' (which is the
name the victim gives to her 'crush' in the advanced
stages of the syndrome).
	The female effected by it is no logic anymore, she
will do everything and anything in order to secure the
'love' of her 'Darling'. She will have uncontrolable
to rip off her clothing and shout: "DARLING TAKE ME!"
The thoughts of this boy, will occupy every minute of
her time. She will not be able to complete a normal
daily routine unless the motivation has something to
do about him. And when she demeans nesssacry she will
punish him. 
	Another disorder related to this is the 'PYSCHO
BITCH' Disorder. Much like the Darling syndrom, the
victim is effected by constant thoughts of a certain
boy. But for some reason instead of trying to satisfy
his every need. She denys those feelings and attempts
to destroy them by causing severe physical harm to the
man in question. Much like the Darling syndrome only,
she feels like having these feelings are betraying
herself and punishes as often as possible. This can be
regarded as milder then the Darling syndrome, for the
female effected can complete normal everyday tasks.
	The male who is the object of this 'affection' Is
just as much a victim as the infected. He cannot have
a normal life. Always having the threat of being
glomped, malleted, whipped and or  fed toxic food. He
never can find a moment alone. He lives in constant of
her whims, never knowing when or how she might show
up. This causes severe paranoia and distrust of women.
He may never be able to commit to a relationship
feeling as soon as he does, he will be trapped as
someone's 'Darling' or seen as a 'Jerk'. 
	The Darling syndrome has life long, consquences.
Right now scientists are searching for a cure. Early
stages are treatable. If think you or someone you
love, has The Darling syndrome or 'PYSCHO BITCH
disorder. Have them take this easy mulitpule choice

End of test tabulate your scores.



Mostly A's- Congratulations! You are a normal girl. 
There rarely seen in Anime. A good example might be
Umm no wait.. or... hmmm.... Maybe....Well I'll say
Hilde, Shinbou? Kotetsu (If anyone's seen this) she's
normal enough I guess.

Mostly B's- YOUR A PYSCHO BITCH!  You have a hatered
of all men, maybe Sigmund Freud could explain it. If
you are not a miliant Lesbain Feminist already.  You
have feeling for this guy but you deny them so deeply.
Maybe you think feeling this way makes you weak and
vunereable and you  want to keep a tough exterior. So
you take out all your agression on this poor guy! Good
examples are: Akane Tendo, Asuka Langly, Tira, Dorothy
Cataloina, Misty, Inaho Hitobore the list goes on and
on.

Mostly C's- Your okay.... just a little obessed with
this guy. This is a mild case of Darling Syndrome, you
just short of calling him Darling. You know he ain't
perfect, but in your eyes he comes pretty darned
close. You pine and sigh over him. This is more
passive form of obession or devotion if you will. Good
examples are: Relena Peacecraft, and I could probaly
name others I just need to see more Anime. Just a
little warning: Watch out for cliffs.

Mostly D's One word sister: D'cha! You are crazy and I
mean insane. You can't take a hint that he's not
interested in you. That doesn't matter because he's a
god to you.  Look at what you are wearing now: Is it a
bondage outfit with a bikers hat? A tiger stripe
bikini? A slinky black dress? A leotard? Or something
from China?  You have the Darling symdrome. Good
examples Are: Lum, Chocolat, Camille Inaho Carmila,
Kodachi Kuno, And Shampoo.
