seeking it out including prostitutes or just giving up on the marriage and hitting on anything that moves.

2 with a side of 3. You have to be open to it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 12:26
Anecdotally, I know more 3's than 2's -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 12:25
i'm surprised by the number of 2s. that would sort of indicate insanely jealous carpooler's wife might have a point. -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:23 5
- The problem is, even if she has a point, "don't get in a car with the hot woman!" hardly seems like a solution. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 12:24 4
  - true. hey, i just remembered, a couple jobs ago a gal who lived with her BF started carpooling with a coworker guy and - kare Jul 18, 12:26 1
    - you said yourself, you've gotten close to carpool buddies in the past. But it's your responsibility to behave appropriately. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 12:27
  - ... it may not be an artful or modern solution, but I think it would definitely avoid the problem. Which means it is a solution. -- nm - landbeck Jul 18, 12:26 1

4) Carpooling with attractive female co-workers -- nm - Jim Jul 18, 12:20 3
- "Should we park?" "What are you saying?" "Depends on what you meant?" "I don't know what's happening here." "Just go with it." *raises arms* -- nm - this is how it always starts Jul 18, 12:22 2
  - They raised their arms because they close, right? -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 12:25 1
    - They're...damn contractions. -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 12:34
i think 3, but it's more about being open to it (for a number of reasons) than just actively seeking it out -- nm - kare Jul 18, 12:20

4) mutual consent -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 12:18 3

  - I don't think that counts as mutual. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 12:24
