Is it normal for guys to pick out a girl they KNOW is damaged?

  • I'm the same way in that I like girls who have self esteem problems, like I do. But practically all of the girls that I've met who have those kinds of issues are really mean and violent so they're not really the kind of person I can bond with.

    • The last girl i really liked was like that. She was often hateful, spiteful, vindictive, and very self-centered. She never really cared to listen to me and my problems when i had any. She used me and led me on because she knew i liked her and would take her places in my truck and stuff. She also held grudges. It took me a long time and it wasn't easy for me to accept, but i finally got away from her once i realized what she truly was. When i say got away, i mean literally moved away and forced myself not to contact her...

      • I'm sorry that you had to meet up with a girl like that, but at least the story had a good ending. Why did you even like her in the first place? If you don't mind me asking.

        In all honesty, those types of girls are the ones that I meet a lot that have obviously low self esteems. Maybe it's just me, but if I meet a girl with a low self esteem, I'd like her to be reserved, and a good person.

        • Thank you.

          Well, she wasn't always like the ways I described. Those were just the absolute worst aspects of her personality; her 'true colors.' When she wasn't all those bad things, she was often quite a lovely person I thought.

          She was pretty (not HOT by any means, but pretty). She was smart and intellectual. She liked to dance and to get exercise. She loved to sing and we listened to much of the same type of music (which is a rarity I find). She was raised in the country, and she liked the outdoors and animals. She didn't have a lot of money. She loved to read and she loved to watch movies as well as certain television shows. She was a friendly, caring, and loving individual on her good days. She was often humorously sarcastic and was usually very candid. She was fun to be around. She smiled and laughed, and when she did, it was always genuine. She always hated taking photos though...

          Some of my most memorable moments with her are when we used to sing together in my truck. Even though I'm not a good singer, it was still fun singing with her. I still miss that.

          I even got along good with her two sisters and her grandma. She lived with her younger sister and her grandma at the time, and I miss them too.

          I just really enjoyed spending time with her. I also came to hate spending time with her though. I realized that it was becoming more painful for me to be around her, even though I liked being around her, than it was to not be around her. It was because of the feelings I had for her, and she didn't have those same feelings for me. When I realized this, the way she really was, and that things weren't going to change if I stuck around, I had to get away.

          So I did, and I've felt better every since. I'm still not fully happy, because I still get lonely sometimes, but at least I'm not in pain anymore.

          • That's deep.

            I gotta say she sounds like a wonderful person, on her good days. It's honestly almost like you described a totally different person than the one in your previous post. I wish it that it worked out for you two. Honestly though she sounds awesome, and again totally different than the person you first described. It sounded like you two were really good friends and again it sucks that it didn't work out.

            I'm sorry to hear that you're not fully happy, I can understand that. But I'm glad that you're not in pain though.
