Is it normal i'm scared to trust women?

i don't think i can ever fully trust a woman to be in a relationship. women have too much power and even the most average looking chick can get attention from a decent amount of men. i am not even basing this on personal experience because i have only had one girlfriend and that was in the 8th grade(i am 25 now). but my cousin did get done dirty by his ex-wife and it fucked him up mentally. he was suicidal for months because of what she did to him. he is doing better but he still isn't fully over her. meanwhile, she has long forgot about him and from looking at her instagram she is still happy with the guy she cheated on him with. it just seems to me like women will leave a man for the next bbd(bigger and better deal). the next bbd could be money, dick size, height etc.

    Yea because a guy has never left a woman for something younger and prettier. It goes both ways, sometimes relationships run their course and end.

    It's not a good idea to base your future experiences off of one bad impression.

    its funny how guys want normal,overly sexual woman and over look the ones who don't care about sex, money etc. because they are considered 'weird'.

    I guess I'm skeptical too, but to a much lesser degree because I -have- known women who would never in a million years let you down, instead you could trust them with your life. though that number is only like... 3?

    feel free to bone whoever if that's all your intentions are but if you're looking for committment, my MO has always been to develop good judgment i.e. avoiding someone: with a history of cheating, who values sex more than loyalty, is blindly desperate to get in a relationship or can't live life unless they're always in one etc

    Yeah... I feel like this too. I know it's not true, but I haven't met women I feel like I can fully trust yet either. I'm scared to.

  • This is why you need to work on yourself before you get in a relationship and have a part of you that's cut off from the relationship, as bad as that sounds.

    Get youre self secure with friends first. People that will be there for you, people that can have fun, and so on. This way you'll always have that group if the relationship blows up and they're fun to be around to get your mind off it.

    Always make time for this group even when you have a girlfriend.

    Apparently women are more likely to cheat and more likely to do it without being caught. That is a bit scary, and I won't lie in saying I've turned people down due to having some of the same views in the past.

    I've noticed what you've noticed with quite a lot of women. I won't say that most women do this or even half but in my life of moving a lot there's always been a few of those types of girls. One of them was my friend's girlfriend, who to put it lightly, is a cunt, left him for the bad boy, boy racer wannabe type and so on. God, she was a cunt but anyway.

    Not all women are like this, and you'll risk never loving in life if you keep to the way you are. So like I said.

    1. Work on yourself first. Make sure you're emotionally prepared for it if it happens.

    2. Get a group of fun friends first. Friends>romance.

    3. Try find someone who isn't attracted to shallow things.

    Hey, if by living your life in fear of getting hurt means being alone and unloved, then I really feel sorry for you.
    Just because your cousin is a weak ass wimp doesn't mean your life will follow the same path.
    Everybody loves and most also lose, and that's living. And the ones with character go out and do it all over again, because the rewards of a great relationship outweigh the possible pain a thousand times over.
    It sounds to me that you will most likely be on your death bed regretting all the things you didn't do in life, because you were afraid of some pain that may not have ever happened.

    I agree with your point as well. Was cheated on by a gal, and I can't trust anyone the same way again...

    Unless you are at the bottom of the barrel (like me), you can move onto the next bbd. What's stopping you?

    My wife a me cheaated on each other for the first 18 years. She started it. I decided if she could do it so could I. It seems like it was a contest. We finally got tired of it. We have been married 43 years. I don't trust any male or female when it comes to cheating.
    I am now indifferent. I don't give a damn what she does. I love her as a old friend after 43 years. Nothing more.
    We had 2 kids that was all that kept us together. It may have been the wrong reason for them. Neither one of us wanted to give them up. We didn't think of what was best for them. I've only met 3 or 4 couples that I think were true to each other in my life.

    It's because of shit like Barbie and Disney movies. These types of girls get indoctrinated into this frame of mind, thinking that "the one" is out there and there is always a Prince Charming/ken to come sweep them off their feet. It's a fixation on perfection and the huge holes that that obsession leaves in every aspect of your life, you just don't see it till its way too late. It's why I always keep my distance from girls that have unnecessary Disney shit. Decals on their car, key chains on the keys, t shirts or sheets or poster or movies. It's the biggest high-maintenance/daddy issues red flag EVER. Compounded by men being the stock and women being the choosers, it makes for a pretty volatile thing for men to deal with.

    I'm not saying that I blame you. I will say, though, that I have been left for "better" women, cheated on and had my heart stomped on multiple times. I would definitely say, as a result, it takes a lot more time and effort for a man to make me want to become loyal and faithful to him. Not STAY faithful. Become.

    I've been burned by plenty of men in the past, so the whole "loyalty" thing is a lot harder to earn with me. I know I have broken a couple of hearts because of it. I don't feel bad because I have accepted hurting people and being hurt as a part of life.

    I tell guys I date now... Trust me as much as you want but I won't actually be trustworthy until I trust YOU. You've gotta earn my trust. You'll know when you have it.

      So you're unfaithful (honestly & openly at least?) until the guy proves you should be faithful to him?

        I do not see how it is unfaithful until we've both explicitly made a commitment.

          Fair point.
          To be honest I only asked because you so strongly emphasized "becoming faithful, not staying faithful"
