St. Ubaldo day and Race of the SaintS

5 great things to do this week

#1

‘the Wedding SingeR’

Act Out Theatre presents comedy musical “The Wedding Singer” on Friday, May 26, Saturday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 28, at 3 p.m.

The musical, based on the 1998 romantic comedy movie of the same name, is set in 1985 and tells the story of a New Jersey wedding singer, Robbie Hart, who’s left at the altar. He’s then heartbroken and determined to ruin other’s weddings until he meets and falls in love with a sweet waitress, Julia. Robbie must pull off the performance of a lifetime to win the girl of his dreams, who is coincidentally engaged to someone else.

For ticket information, email actouttheatre1@ gmail.com or text 570-881-4206.

A Midvalley tradition, St. Ubaldo Day and Race of the Saints is Jessup’s version of the observance of La Festa dei Ceri in Gubbio, Italy, and takes place Saturday, May 27.

The festival kicks off in the early morning with a band traveling through Jessup to awake the town. The celebration continues with activities throughout the rest of the day.

The main event — the traditional running of statues of St. Ubaldo, St. George and St. Anthony through Jessup’s streets — starts at 5:30 p.m. at Powell Avenue and Ward Street, ending at Veterans Memorial Field, Jessup.

For additional St. Ubaldo Day activities and more information, visit stubaldoday.com.

Creative and Performing Arts Academy of NEPA presents cult classic musical “Little Shop of Horrors” Thursday, May 25, at 6:30 p.m., at CaPAA’s Theater at the Ritz, 222 Wyoming Ave., Scranton.

The screening is part of the academy’s Musicals on the Big Screen series.

The 1986 film, adapted from the off-Broadway musical comedy of the same name, centers on a nerdy flower shop worker who raises a vicious, raunchy plant which needs human blood to thrive.

“Little Shop of Horrors” was nominated for two Golden Globe awards, including best picture — comedy/musical.

The film is rated PG-13 and the screening is BYOB. There is a suggested $5 donation which benefits renovations to make the Ritz Theater and CaPAA studios wheelchair accessible.

Exhibit explores the animal powers of comic book superheroes and super villains, and incorporates art pieces and historical artifacts to illustrate how characters influenced history and pop culture.

Folk artist releases album, plans on more music to come

Pianist and songwriter Chuck Paul found himself hooked on music from the moment he saw the Beatles on televisio on in the 1960s.

“Sunday evening, 8 p.m. on Feb. 9, 1964, I saw the Beatles on ‘Ed Sullivan,’’” Paul said. “The fate of the skinny little kiid with the crewcut was sealed forever.”

Now the musician finds himself pumping out music, ranging from folk to Christian rock.

The Pittston resident recently spoke about his method of song writing, the release of his fourth album “LONEWOLF” and his future goals in music.

Q: What do you remember about the first time you performed in public?

A: How good it felt. The feeling overpowered the performance, and thank God, because it sounded like a train wreck. We didn’t know what we were doing, but it was OK, because the audience didn’t know what they were hearing.

Q: What is the process like for writing your music?

A: I don’t consider myself a “songwriter.” A song receiver is more accurate. Almost every song I’ve written just comes to me. I rarely sit and tinker around with lyrics or chords. I’ll be doing something unrelated and I’ll get a rush of melody and/or lyrics, then I’ll sit and run with it. How can I take credit for composing something that’s given to me? I don’t believe in writer’s block, either. I believe you have to stay open to receive the work. If you do, it’ll come. Not in your timing, but when it’s ready. That’s why I speak highly of my mate

rial. It’s It s not ego ego, because I don’t don t feel it came from me me. rial It came from the outside, it’s a gift that was given to me. My name is on it for identification purposes only.

I can write songs that I battle for, but they’re never as good as when I open my mouth like a baby bird and receive it.

Q: How have you changed as a musician over the years?

A: Well, if you’re serious about your music, as I am, one naturally gets better as the years go by. Not just in your abilities as a musician, but in your outlook.

Q: How has the music scene chhanged over the years?

A: One thing is consistent— there has always been, and still is, a giant pool of great talent. But when you talk aabout a scene, it conjures up a sense oof unity. This has never happened here.

There has alwaays been cliques, not unity. No widespread acceptance and respect. This area could very easily be another Liverpool, Seattle, Athens, etc., but it never will, for the simple reason that we have great talent, but we’ve always lacked a unifying heart.

Q: Who has influenced you over the years?

A: It’s always been the Beatles first, but I’ve got a great love for the singer/songwriters. Jim Croce is my favorite, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, John Prine. I also love big band music. I’m very impressed with their melodies and orchestral arrangements.

Q: What are your future goals for your music?

Q: Are you working on new material?

A: To keep moving, to always shoot for the next levA: Yes. I have enough music to release a full-length el. There’s an element of mystery in music. Some call it album every quarter for the year. Some are in the can, magic. You never know what’s ahead. This profession but as I’ve stated, it’s up to the fates. If the songs keep doesn’t tolerate stagnation. If you keep moving and flowing as they have been, I’ll meet that goal. don’t shoot yourself in the foot, great things happen.

Q: What are some of your favorite memories as a musician?

A: It was probably the solo performance I gave on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in front of a packed house, sitting at their beautiful grand piano performing an original Christian song. Afterwards, I had to tell the stage manager that my little cheat sheet fell in the piano and I couldn’t get it out. Most embarrassing!

SOUNDS

RHYTHMIC LUCKY 7’S

DIRTY PROJECTORS – “Dirty Projectors” THE GOOD: Brooklyn indie rock outfit Dirty Projectors (singer/songwriter/guitarist David Longstreth and an ever-changing roster of collaborators) comes back with an eponymous seventh.

THE BAD: Longstreth’s progressive tendencies are now in full-force.

Expect complex arrangements and the melding of many genres. Not “bad” just complicated.

THE NITTY GRITTY: At its core, “Dirty Projectors” is a break-up album; Longstreth ended his relationship with long-time bandmate Amber Coffman at the beginning of

RAEKWON – “The Wild”

THE GOOD: The Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon belts out his seventh solo album.

THE BAD: One can argue the only Wu-Tang member that ever topped his own solo debut was Ghostface Killah. Raekwon will probably never match HIS solo debut, 1995’s “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.” But “the Wild” is a step in the right direction.

the creative process. Tracks such as “Death Spiral” and “Up in Hudson” focus on the difficulties that come with relationships, sad endings, moving on, etc.

Musically, Longstreth bounces from the electronic squiggles of “Work Together” to the ‘60s-based organ sounds spread over “I See You” and all points in between. R&B singer Dawn Richard lends her voice to the bright sunshine of “Cool Your Heart.” Strings and atmospherics add somber vibes to the low hum and soulful harmonies on “Little Bubble.”

Bring your sense of adventure and prepare for unpredictable dissonant mood swings.

BUY IT?: Your call.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The new set is much less glossy than 2015’s “Fly International Luxurious Art.” His style still intense, Raekwon gets back to the streets, conjuring up vivid full-color urban landscapes, and finds himself knee deep in that scratchy, gritty Wu-Tang-vibe. Dirty beats, choppy lo-fi vocal samples, eerie atmospherics, and bulletriddled gangster tales are once again the norm.

Yeah, there are a couple of missteps along the way. “Marvin,” the tribute to Marvin Gaye with back-ups by CeeLo Green, feels out of place. The Lil Wayne collaboration “My Corner” sounds too synthetic. For the most part though, “the Wild” is dusty and dangerous, as it should be.

BUY IT?: Sure.

GOLDFRAPP – “Silver Eye” THE GOOD: Electronic duo Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory) come back with a varied seventh.

THE BAD: No gripes.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Entirely

composed by the pair themselves, the record does boast a number of collaborators on the production side. The two worked closely with producer John Congleton (St Vincent, Wild Beasts), electronic composer the Haxan Cloak, and producer/guitarist Leo Abrahams Despite the disparate guest list, the record works incredibly well as a whole; the songs complementing each other perfectly. From the spacey trip-hop echoes carrying “Zodiac Black” to the decadently danceable “Everything is Never Enough” to the dark rumblings permeating “Ocean,” “Silver Eye” is an accomplished set that rarely takes an expected route. It’s full of surprises while still maintaining that desired classic Goldfrapp vibe.

Stripped down to their bare essence, the songs themselves are probably the pair’s strongest in quite some time too (not that other recent albums were lacking in any way). This is simply an act playing to their strengths.

OPENING THIS WEEK

NOW PLAYING

“ALIEN: COVENANT” HHH

Like the “Star Wars” saga, the “Alien” franchise is something of a chronological Rubik’s Cube, in that the movies coming out now predate the movies from the 1970s and 1980s on the fictional timeline.

This makes for some onscreen technoanachronisms.

Example. Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant” takes place prior to the events of the original “Alien” (1979), but since it was filmed in the mid-2010s, it’s an impressive technical achievement, with amazing CGI special effects plunging us deep into outer space and deep into the future.

If you go back and watch “Alien” (as I did), it’s a great movie, but of course it has those late1970s special effects and production values (and hairstyles), and a nearly 40-year-old vision of what computers and space travel and synthetic robot beings would be like in the year 2122.

“Alien: Covenant” is set 10 years after “Prometheus,” which took place in 2093, so now we’re in 2103, about two decades prior to the events of “Alien,” and if that doesn’t mess with your mind, wait until you see the Dueling Fassbenders portion of the current movie.

This is the third-best “Alien” movie, with James Cameron’s “Aliens” as the standard-bearer, and the original (directed by a young Ridley Scott) close behind. There are high-falutin’ references to the likes of Byron and Wagner and Shelley, but at its core, “Covenant” is a glorified monster movie, with some great “gotcha!” scare moments and, yes, a number of scenes in which a number of supposedly super-smart characters do some really stupid things that get them killed dead-dead-dead.

“I gotta take a leak,” announces one character during a dicey moment when it’s probably best not to wander off.

“Don’t go too far,” says his partner, watching him as he scampers off into the outer-space equivalent of the woods surrounding the cabin in a slasher movie. It’s hardly a spoiler to say, in the history of scary movies, when someone says they have to go to the bathroom, they rarely just do their business and happily return to the flock.

After a haunting prelude that looks like it was filmed as an homage to Stanley Kubrick, featuring the “synthetic” artificial human that calls himself David (Michael Fassbender) and Peter Weyland

20 M a y 2 5 , 2 0 1 7

“Alien: Covenant” (Guy Pearce), the billionaire founder of the Weyland Corp., we join the Covenant, a massive colony ship on a seven-year journey to a faraway planet.

There’s only one conscious entity aboard Covenant: Walter, a next-generation synthetic who looks exactly like David, which is convenient seeing as how Michael Fassbender plays both synthetics. Everyone else is in the midst of a multi-year cryogenic hyper sleep, but Walter has to awaken the crew when a freak accident plunges the ship into emergency mode.

The beloved captain of the ship dies, leaving the by-the-book, self-doubting Oram (Billy Crudup) in command.

(Sidebar: It’s a bit of a distraction that the quickly killed-off captain of the Covenant is played by a wellknown star. We keep wondering if this character is going to somehow return, because why else would a popular leading man take such a tiny role?)

Key crew members aboard the Covenant include the smart and resourceful Daniels (Katherine Waterston), who was married to the late captain; the calm and collected Karine (Carmen Ejogo), who is married to the CURRENT captain (Crudup); and the wisecracking, cowboy-hat-wearin’ pilot Tennessee (Danny McBride), who is married to the tough-as-nails Faris (Amy Seimetz).

(All of this coupling makes sense, when you consider the goal of the mission is to land on a distant planet and stay there for the duration.)

When the Covenant receives a mysterious dis-

tress signal, Oram believes it could lead them to a paradise planet even more suited to human life than their original planned destination. Ignoring Daniels’ warnings, Oram directs the ship to the mysterious but lush, warm and inviting planet.

Of course, there’s trouble lurking just around the bend. It’s only a matter of time before nasty creatures rear their ugly heads and bare their sharp teeth, and various crew members are dispatched in gruesomely entertaining fashion.

Also occupying the planet: none other than David, the synthetic from “Prometheus,” who tells the crew he’s been here for the last 10 years.

Enter the Dueling Fassbenders.

David becomes a sort of mentor to Walter, even though Walter is the more advanced and sophisticated synthetic. Fassbender’s work in these two roles is an understated wonder to behold; he creates two distinct characters that often interact with each other, and he manages to infuse each synthetic creation with unique personality traits.

That said, at least one bit of interaction between Walter and David is just goofy and unintentionally funny. And a big plot revelation deep into the story is one of the least surprising “twists” in recent film history.

“Alien: Covenant” includes a number of nods to the first two “Alien” movies, to the point where it sometimes plays like a Greatest Hits collection.

At least they’re covering a classic.

“Everything, Everything”

NOW PLAYING “Beauty and the Beast” The beloved 1991 animated musical is given the live-action treatment with Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the prince-turned-monster. With Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson. Written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Stephen Chbosky and Bill Condon.

Directed by Condon. Rated PG. 129 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Everything, Everything” An 18-year-old woman, confined to her house in a protected environment because of an illness, forms an attachment to the boy next door and yearns to experience the outside world. With Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Ana De La Reguera, Anika Noni Rose. Written by J. Mills Goodloe, based on the book by Nicola Yoon. Directed by Stella Meghie.

Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Gifted” A custody drama featuring Chris Evans as a bachelor assigned to raise his late sister’s math genius daughter (Mckenna Grace).

A nice performance by Evans, who elevates the

so-so material. With Octavia Spencer, Jenny Slate.

PG-13 for language. 101 minutes. HH1/2.

— GAry ThOMpSON, ThE phILAdELphIA INquIrEr “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Like many a sequel to a slam-bang, much-liked mega-hit, the second adventure of the universe-saviors isn't quite as much fun, not quite as clever, not quite as fresh as the original, but it still packs a bright and shiny and sweet punch. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content. 136 minutes. HHH. — rIChArd rOEpEr

“Going In Style” Three retired steelworkers (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin) plot to rob the bank complicit in getting rid of their pensions. Good natured slapstick, but almost infallibly unfunny. With Ann-Margaret. Directed by Zach Braff. Rated PG-13 for drug use, language.

97 mintues. HH. — GAry ThOMpSON, ThE phILAdELphIA INquIrEr “King Arthur — Legend of the Sword” Director Guy Ritchie spins the King Arthur legend as a superhero origins story, with our man (Charlie Hunnam) resisting the calling for as long as

possible and then finally accepting his destiny to unseat the ruthless King Vortigern (Jude Law).

In its finest moments, "King Arthur" is clever and exhilarating, but at its low points, it plays like a cheesy B-movie. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language. 126 minutes. HHH. — rIChArd rOEpEr “Snatched” When Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer are playing verbal tennis as mother and daughter, trading passive-aggressive criticism along with genuinely affectionate observations, it’s an absolute delight to witness. When they’re slogging through the jungle later, we find ourselves wishing they had a stronger script. Rated R for crude sexual content, brief nudity, and language throughout. 91 minutes. HH. — rIChArd rOEpEr “The Zookeeper’s Wife” Jessica Chastain stars in this dutiful if sometimes mechanical true story of Antonina Zabinski, a Polish woman who helped save hundreds of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation of World War II. With Daniel Bruhl. Rated PG-13 for violence. 120 minutes. HH1/2.

Liquid

SoakinG up the SudS with JameS Crane Farmhouse ales and saisons: What’s the difference? Honestly, nothing but a few letters. They are different names for the same thing: a warm weather beer brewed in the style of Belgian farm brews. Their tastes range from spicy and floral to sour, but that has nothing to do with the label. It’s just a style that is open to a lot of interpretation. There isn’t just one way to make a saison.

Take Goose island’s Sofie. They take about a 1/5 of the brew and age it in wine barrels with orange peel before combining it back with the original brew. As saisons often have a bit of a citrus bent already, this seems like it will pair excellently. I also look forward to the qualities it picks up off the wine. That sour yeastyness that is generally present in the style promises to blend right into the grape tannin flavor the barrel picks up. If I’m lucky, there might even be a little wood.

The beer poured into the glass with the common light yellow translucent color. It looks quite light.

The head made some audible noise as the CO2 was released from the liquid. This was likely the result of bottle conditioning, where the beer is left to finish its fermentation in the bottle which provides natural carbonation. The head was about a finger thick, but it didn’t stay long. It also did not leave any lacing, hinting that this beer sat on the lighter side in the realm of body. A small stream of tiny bubbles continued to rise through the glass.

The scent carried a good deal of sour and black pepper to it. The yeast also was there in full force, hitting the nose with a bit of funk. Notes of white

wine and green apple mixed in with the rest, hinting of some sourness to come. Almost unnoticeable amongst it all was the malt. The scent was pleasantly complex.

Up front in taste was a bit of banana, which I imagine came from the yeast. This was followed almost immediately by citrus and sour, much like a lemon. The wine also is there as well as black pepper spiciness.

At the tail end is a bit of a surprise.

Once the brew is swallowed, the malt and wood come out, giving the brew a wonderfully dry finish.

As I drink more, other flavors drift across the tongue as well: apple, honeydew, grass and even vanilla, which is surprising. The beer seemed to change focus as it warmed, allowing more tastes to rise while others took a back seat. One moment it seemed more like pineapple, the next champagne or even arugula. There was certainly a lot going on here.

Sofie weighs in at 6.5% ABV, which is generally toward the upper end of alcohol content for a beer like this. Its light body makes it pretty drinkable while its carbonation stimulates the appetite. Many beers I like drinking on their own, but this is one I would certainly think to pair with food. I could see this easily going with some funky soft cheese or something herbal like fingerling potatoes and parsley. Oddly, I could see it going really well with a Vietnamese noodle salad. Its tanginess and spice would be well complemented here. Even if you’re not eating, however, give this one a go. Sofie is delightfully complex.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sin is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer! For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one!

And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true! Check ‘em out! Oracle No. 1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect? No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle No. 2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle No. 3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle No. 4: Unto your own self be true?

Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle No. 5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare.

too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero. Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story — a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result. Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks.

It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re being invited to boost your commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually circle back around to you as a demand. So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: What types of self-development are you saving for later?

the door. Luckily for me, it went well. The door got bashed in and I wasn’t hurt. What does my dream mean? — Nervous Virgo. Dear Virgo: Here’s my interpretation: It’s time to knock down a barrier, but you’re not convinced you’re ready or can do it all by yourself. Luckily, there are forces in your life that are conspiring to help make sure you do it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul during the next 28 days. It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions.

Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity.

Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic. The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive.

The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growth-inducing relationships?

Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy? Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and

empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “In youth we feel richer for every new illusion,” wrote author Anne Sophie Swetchine. “In maturer years, for every one we lose.” While that may be generally true, I think that even twenty-something Capricorns are likely to fall into the latter category in the coming weeks.

Whatever your age, I foresee you shouting something akin to “Hallelujah!” or “Thank God!” or “Boomshakalaka flashbang!” as you purge disempowering fantasies that have kept you in bondage and naive beliefs that have led you astray.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturalist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this exact moment. “There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy Defiance Time to you, Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express the most determined and disciplined fertility ever!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I believe it may be the right time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming it at its roots. Why? After all this time, that foundation or resource needs your fresh attention. It could be lacking a nutrient that has gradually disappeared. Maybe it would flourish better if it got the benefit of the wisdom you have gained since it first became useful for you.

Only you have the power to discern the real reasons, Pisces — and they may not be immediately apparent. Be tender and patient and candid as you explore.

Although our mind’s tendency to recognize patterns helps us quickly identify threats and opportunities, it often does this too quickly and on too little evidence.

Your mind may be doing that now There’s a reason you suspect your experience is a meaningful pattern, and it’s the same reason people think in seeing a meaningful pattern in guys sweeping you off your feet and then, like that annoying shopper who’s just they see the Virgin Mary in their toast. Our minds are reached the register, their going: “Ooops … don’t want meaning-making machines. We evolved to be deeply this one. Gonna run and grab the other one. Sorrreeeeee!” uncomfortable with uncertainty — probably because an However, epidemiologist and stats ninja Sander uncertain world is a more dangerous world.

of it. If you’d dated 10 men who’d left you to marry somebody else, it might say something. Might. But three?

Greenland points out that in looking at what seems to be a pattern, “we tend to forget the times it didn’t happen (like before we started noticing the claimed pattern).” Also, if you believe there’s a pattern — that you’re a sort of fruit bin where men go to ripen — maybe you start acting differently because of it, coloring your results. (Selffulfilling prophecy kinda thing: “Why try? He’ll be outta here anyway.”)

In short, maybe this is a meaningful pattern or maybe it is not. What you can explore is whether there are patterns in your behavior that could be tripping you up. There are three biggies that research suggests can be relationship killers.

Blatant Boy-Chasing: Men often claim they like it when women ask them out. However, research suggests that this may permanently lower a woman’s worth in a man’s eyes. Men value women who are hard to get, not those who eagerly pursue them — sometimes with all the subtlety of a golden retriever chasing a hot dog down a hill.

Being Hard To Be Around: A review of research on personality by psychologist John M. Malouff finds three characteristics that are likely to eat away at a relationship: neuroticism (a psych term for being nervous, chronically distressed, and volatile), a lack of conscientiousness (being disorganized, unreliable, and lacking in self-control),

and disagreeableness (being an unpleasant, egotistical, hostile and argumentative mofo).

The Undercooked Man: Behavioral science research supports the evolutionary theory that women — even today — prioritize male partners who can “invest” (a preference that men coevolved to expect). For example, marriage researchers Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and David Popenoe find that “men want to be financially ‘set’ before they marry.” Career attainment and stability are likely a major part of this. So, unfortunately, a relationship with a man in transition can end up being a sort of FEMA tent on the road to permanent housing.

Ultimately, instead of deeming yourself death row for “happily ever after,” try to choose wisely and be a valuable (rather than costly) partner. That’s really your best bet for eventually walking down the aisle — and not just to hear, “Do you take this woman … till the last of your nine little lives do you part?”
